A quick status updated after 12 days since the announcement of the Crowdfunded Whale Bot Project on Steemit. Things are continuing to build up step by step with more users joining and the voting power growing, though it has been slow in the last day in terms of new user supporting the project. There were already 54 people that supported the project so far with 3 more joining in the last day, the full list can be found below:

The Steem Power of the @crowdfundedwhale is currently at over 1163 SP, so it is already at a pretty good level, but far from the goal of the project. Hopefully it will continue to grow steadily over time and now it is the perfect time to join and support the project with the low price of Steem. There are already some people that have donated more than once to the project and this is also helping a lot.
Delayed voting has been implemented to the bot code, so @crowdfundedwhale will now vote after about 25 minutes since the post has been published instead of about a minute delay like it was initially. This change has been made in order for the bot to be able to also get some curation rewards from the posts it votes on and use them in order to further grow its voting power.
So far the bot was voting at 100%, but since the number of users and posts on a daily basis has increased quite a lot already, today the power for each vote has just been lowered to 85% in order to counter the drop of voting power on a daily basis that went below 80% today. Ideally the increase of total Steem Power should be able to compensate for any reduction on voting power of each votes being cast, though that is not the case yet as the bot still needs to grow its available SP.
How to Participate in the Project
You can get included in the list of authors the bot votes on if you:
Transfer any amount of STEEM, Steem Power or Steem Dollars to crowdfundedwhale
Send any amount of Bitcoin (BTC) to the address: 1LCFwZTpTzHNfHSdsSfjptHUNee2JBFLcy
The BTC address above is from Blocktrades and will automatically convert anything received to it into Steem Power to the @crowdfundedwhale account, if you do sent Bitcoins this way make sure you drop a comment with the transaction ID, so that it is known who you are and you can be added in the list of authors.
