The last Monster Raffle organized as a fundraiser for the Silver Gold Stackers Community was held back in September 2023. It was a great success that helped elevate the Community Curation Project to a new level which it has mostly maintained for the last 8 months or so. Part of my job as custodian of the curation project is to make good use of those funds and stretch them as far as they can go, but we're getting to the point now where new decisions need to be made.

On current course with our Leases and Cashflow we have another month or 2 at our existing level around 315K Hive Power before our finances will start getting tight again. So the primary question to ask is whether the community is ready and willing to put together another Monster Raffle this June or July?
Alternatively, we could continue to taper off our leases (which have been steadily dropping anyway due to natural attrition) and try to find a new equilibrium point with a slightly lower (but sustainable) amount of Hive Power. At the moment I'd estimate that we could be pretty sustainable around 280-290K Hive Power for another 3 to 6 months past July.
At the end of the day I am here to serve the SGS community and so it's important to know what the members of SGS want to do. I have been a bit busy with real life commitments lately but as we are heading into Winter here in Australia I hope to be able to find some more time for SGS. While the Monster Raffle can be a bit of work, it is also a lot of fun and something I and Old Mate @welshstacker have always been proud to be a part of.
