I Promised That I Would Delegate 500 SP...
You see, when I made that promise, I said that I would start to delegate 500 SP for each 1000 SP I have/earn... And I would obviously want to keep my promise. But, I will do it with a small change.
I have a total of 836.656 STEEM right now... But, I have recently undelegated the Steem Power I delegated to , which I did in an experiment to speed up my own growing process. I undelegated the Steem Power because of a short loan I had to take from
recently. I will start to power down once I get this SP back and I will power down for 2 weeks. - This way, I'll be able to pay back what I owe using my Steem Power, instead of relying on potential post rewards.
That being said, I will start to power down in a day or so, and pay using the Steem I get from my power down from 2 weeks. I will pay him 100 Steem in total so when I've paid him in full, I'll stop my power down and grow my account again. That means that I will have ~736 SP when I've paid him and I have decided to delegate 500 SP in total from that time and not wait until I reach 1000 SP!!
500 SP ON THE LINE!
So, even though I've come to the conclusion that I will delegate 500 SP in about 2 weeks from now, I have not been able to decide on exactly how I will do it.
And I'm not talking about how I delegate to others... What I talk about is the fact that I don't know if I should delegate 500 SP to one Steemian or split the 500 SP and delegate to more than one person.
What's Your Thoughts On This?
First of all, I just want to say that I am able to do this due to the awesome delegation I've received from . He saw potential in me and/or liked the things I did or tried to do... And I guess that's the reason I received this delegation to begin with... But, even without the delegation from
, I would've done this sooner or later, due to FTG's generosity. The whole idea behind the delegations are incredible and I have been able to have a much bigger impact than ever before due to his generosity and mindset... But I also realized that I should do this myself too.
- It's literally the most awesome thing you can do for the entire platform.
I mean, 500 SP is not a huge amount of SP by any means... But it's still 500 SP that can make some difference. I am not a well established Steemian and there's literally hundreds of authors on Steemit with higher payouts than me. Many of them have more support and contributes to Steemit in various ways. Even though it might take me a long period of time to reach 1000 SP... That's still only my first stepping stone.
I have every intention to delegate 500 SP for each 1000 SP I have, but I will start to delegate the first 500 SP even though I have 700+ in total, because that's my way of "paying it back" and my way to say "Thank you" for all the support.
So my question is...
Should I delegate 500 SP to one Steemian or delegate SP to two different Steemians and delegate 250 SP each? - Or 5x100 SP? - I have no idea, so feel free to help me to figure this out.
Feel free to tell me why you should get this delegation too, in case you're interested. I will not make any decisions at this time, but I would definitely use that in ~2 weeks when I'm about to delegate!
Here's some questions for you to answer. If you're up for it:
- What do you think would be best? Delegate to one or more Steemians?
- How should I split the SP in case I delegate to more than one?
- What kind of requirements should I have?
- Should I delegate for a certain time?
- Why should I delegate SP to you?
