Thank you so much for your support @luzcypher. You've brought a lot of people here to Steem to share their music and more and enriched them, not just with your upvotes and donations to Open Mic prizes but also with your own music, your own writing, and your own soul.

I'll repeat what I said in @passion-ground's post:

I wouldn't stop sponsoring Open Mic if I were to fall out of the top 20 witnesses for an extended period of time but my contribution to the prize pool would fall. I've matched @ausbitbank's delegation of SP to the @openmic account so that the people participating it can earn a bit more, even if I can't put as much into the prize pool.

And don't forget I'm not the only sponsor either! @luzcypher has donated a ton of STEEM to the prize pool over the last 66 weeks and there are some heavy SP delegations to @openmic from some awesome community members: @fulltimegeek (15000+!!), @ausbitbank (5000+!), @luzcypher (1000+!) not to mention very generous delegations from @steevc, @buzzbeergeek, @meno (judge for Songwriter's Challenge), @bearone, @krystle (who also donates her time as a judge for Open Mic and Songwriter's Challenge), @nateb, @eliel, and @katamori.
