As I covered in my recent Curation Report, my strategy has been to curate with no regard for Voting Power. This is the best way to maximize influence and curation rewards. It seems like I'm one of the only ones actually doing this, and this gives me a massive competitive advantage over the rest of Steemit. As a result, my curation rewards have skyrocketed as my competitors go for tiny voting strengths, trying to maintain a high VP. Maybe they are saving it for a massive self-upvote, which would also be a good strategy.
My target was 10% but as it turns out, there's far too much good content from new and undiscovered authors nowadays, so I'm actually going for the 5% range. Yesterday, it dipped below 4%. (Clarification - this is my Voting Power. I vote with a 100% strength)
So, I'm in the market for renting Steem Power. I don't have any whale friends, so I'm not in a position to ask for a donation. Instead, I'm asking you to rent me your Steem Power. If you've been following my curation activities, you'll know this is for a good cause - discovering newcomers who create engaging content. I don't require minnows to follow me or pay me, I just dig for good content by engaged authors. Most of them don't know I exist, so I keep at it behind the scenes. This I believe is the best way to reach towards a meritocracy, though of course in my subjective opinion :) I also follow 
Incidentally, this is also the best strategy for maximizing curation rewards, while many curators seem to pile on the votes for top authors and set up auto voting bots for them. Voting on popular authors is an instant way to kill all of your curation rewards. That also gives me a massive competitive edge.
I'm offering the equivalent of 1,500 Steem for a months's delegation of 100,000 SP. If you're wondering why I'm willing to pay such an absurd rate, it's because of the aforementioned competitive edge in curation rewards I enjoy. My goal is to move the entire community to discover the best way to curate, so eventually more engaged curators compete. But for now, I'm willing to make the most of it and reach out to as many promising newbies as possible.
I'm only renting in 20,000 SP chunks. The more the better. For generous whales out there, I'd also appreciate a donation. In return, I'll promise complete accountability of my votes. Feel free to follow my curation trail as well.

PS: Seems to be some confusion, I seemed to have missed out on this detail. This involves delegating Steem Power to an account of my choice. At the end of our contract, you can undelegate. If you don't know how delegation is done, I'll guide you through it.
PPS: Reduced the minimum to 20K SP.
Update: I've updated my budget to 1,500 Steem per month to reflect both the unstable Steem price right and the reward pool balancing out. The first few days of HF19 were a bonanza, but things are starting to settle down.
