This has been an incredible project and all of your effort has been amazing. I'm sorry that with all the chain turmoil this has been overlooked. Bravo to you and @edgargonzalez, too!

Thank you for your support, Melinda!
Chain turmoil indeed. Poor Edgar (and me, to be honest)... trying to deal with all this, on top of the chain turmoil and the language barrier. But we're currently trying to get his funds moved away from Steemit and Steem, with all the nonsense happening there now, people having their funds frozen, their whole blogs deleted, it's insane. Stuff we never thought could happen here! Anyway, I hope Hive is more sustainable, and less able to be taken over like that. Meanwhile, both currencies are dropping, so Edgar (and I, since only half the funds have currently been sent) are holding the bag. Both of us are losing even more purchasing power. I'm almost to the point where I'm just going to hand over everything I have, and hope it's enough to buy the pump, after paying all the fees and terrible conversion rates, and watching the value of our tokens drop by a third in the past few days! I've done 3 years full time posting (far more than just MAP!), thoughtful comments, and nonstop daily curation. I invested 5k to start. Now I've got almost nothing, even with all the MAP funds, there's barely enough to buy this pump and walk away with a shirt on my back. Ugh.
It's all worth it, just saying, the chain turmoil couldn't have happened at a worse time. If STEEM and HIVE had gone UP 35% this week, wow, wouldn't we look smart right now? But instead, we're dealing with yet another sudden blow, even as we try to avoid getting funds lost, frozen, stolen, or devalued any more than they already have!
I can't wait to see the water flow because it has taken nearly 2 years, and many thousands of dollars now : (
I truly believe that justin will pump the Steem price again soon so that he can sell more himself, be patient if you can and don't give up just yet!
I do think turning the funds over to Edgar now is the right thing to do. It may be that he has more pressing needs now than getting the pump fixed. I know many people there are going hungry and by now he must be used to hauling water. No matter how the money gets used, you have done a valuable thing here. Thank you for your kindness
