It's definitely a marvelous program, and a great incentive for newcomers... and a nice way to practice the whole "pay it forward" philosophy.
Going to gift a couple of people in again; but I did notice that I sponsored someone in on 4/4/18 — they got their share, but I could not find myself in the spreadsheets. Probably just fell through the cracks... or did I miss something in the guidelines? Since the Steemit wallet is a bit dodgy on how far you can go backwards, here's a screen shot from Steemd:
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I checked the transactions and your sponsee had the right count but yours was missed. I have processed your enrollment now. When we move onto our fully automated system, I will make sure it uses your original transaction date/time to calculate your catch up values.
Thank you! I am sure this must have been a huge and rather tedious task to track manually, so I can well understand that a few might slip through the cracks here and there. Appreciate the responsiveness; will definitely sponsor more people in, as we go along!
Considering how many enrollments I have manually processed, it never quite surprises me to find one I missed. Reconciliation of my manual sheets against our automated system (still in testing) has proved illuminating as well.
