Time flies. Three months growing SP using faucets!

The faucet earnings were a bit less than the previous week's, but were pretty good too. 7,856 satoshi, converted to 0.00904888 Dash, and traded for 4.569 STEEM through [BlockTrades][blocktrades] ([Steemd transaction link][steemd]).

Even though the faucet earnings have dropped a little, earnings from the investments side got an increase. I've bought some more STEEM and increased my delegation to Brazilians to 270 SP (formerly 200), and this gave me a weekly payout of 1.026 STEEM. The around 11 [QuratorTokens][qmarket] that I'm holding gave me daily payouts amounting to 0.130 STEEM in the week. Added to the faucet earnings, the total became 5.725 STEEM!

Since I had determined it'd be the week that I'd save up STEEM to renew my SP lease next month (2.737 STEEM), I was left with 2.988 STEEM to power up, and I've rounded it to 3 STEEM. Not bad, even after subtracting what I have to save up!

### Monthly Balance

As it's been one more full month of faucets, let's do the monthly balance.

Earnings (faucets only):

* Week 1: 3.991 STEEM.
* Week 2: 4.177 STEEM.
* Week 3: 4.718 STEEM.
* Week 4 (minus the amount I'll save up for next month's SP lease): 1.832 STEEM.
* Total: 14.718 STEEM.

Overall (faucets + investments + rounding etc.):

* Week 1: 5 STEEM.
* Week 2: 5 STEEM.
* Week 3: 5.601 STEEM.
* Week 4 (minus the amount I'll save up): 3 STEEM.
* Total: 18.601 STEEM.

Since the beginning:

Earnings (faucets only):

* Month 1: 6.416 STEEM.
* Month 2: 6.307 STEEM.
* Month 3: 14.718 STEEM.
* Total powered up from faucets since the experiment's beginning: 27.741 STEEM.

Overall (faucets + investments + rounding etc.):

* Month 1: 8.382 STEEM.
* Month 2: 8.878 STEEM.
* Month 3: 18.601 STEEM.
* Total powered up from this experiment since its beginning: 31.324 STEEM.

This last month had really nice results (the earnings were more than double the previous months'!), and I hope the results will keep improving going forward too! If so, instead of powering everything up, maybe I could save part of the earnings for other investments (buy some more tokens, or Steem Monsters/Splinterlands cards, things like that). I'm thinking about it...
