RE: Consensus Reached for Hardfork 17+18! The New Features are Yours on Thursday, March 30th at 11am EST!
so something that Streemian is doing will be built in here? Delegated Bandwidth: You can now delegate any part of your SP to other users to vote for you. Whales, this is your cue to sponsor the best curators and content creators you can find!
To the best of my knowledge, please feel free to point out errors.
*Though the follower/delegator can choose to delegate a set amount of SP.
**It would be as if the SP was yours - your vote counts the delegated SP. So, yes, if a whale delegates to a minnow, a minnow might see their vote push up the pending payout by several dollars.
***The delegation is canceled immediately, but it'll be 7 days before you can use the SP to vote again.
****The curator also earns rewards from their own SP. However, follower gets to keep all rewards from the delegated SP, depending on the position of the vote. The curator does see increased curation rewards contributed from votes added by the follower, but limited by the SP they own. In the case of Delegated SP method, curator keeps all curation rewards directly, from SP they own + delegated to them.
You're correct. This feature is a gift for the real curator but not the original SP holder.
Yes, pretty much. Of course, the original SP holder can cut a deal with the curator to have X% sent back in Steem over time. Or it could be built into apps like Streemian's Guilds to account for the splits automatically.
Yes, that's possible -- an off-chain solution before we implement it on the chain.
Can delegate when powering down? Yes No
I think this doesn't apply to new SP awarded since starting the powerdown, as the powerdown calculation is based on the total at the time. So if you are powering down, throw on a few thousand SP, this extra can be delegated. Also, I'm not certain, but I think you can set how much of your SP you are powering down, I could be wrong about that.
"Delay between votes" is kinda irrelevant in this because the delegated SP is de facto the possession of the curator.
Yes, it's important to note that delegating SP benefits the SP of the curator, not the delegator. Also, with Streemian, the operator gets their own (should be larger) share of the curation rewards and followers progressively get less the later the bot puts their vote on.
Yes, I worded it wrongly. Hopefully it's clearer now.
In the case of following, both get curation rewards. The reward to the curator is boosted by the followers but the folowers can get some too (progressively less for those later in the chain)
That's true. This comparison is from the perspective of the delegated/followed SP though. Added a clarification.
Not the same thing really. Delegating Bandwidth I believe is Ned talking about Delegating SP/Vests. You can basically lend someone your SP, and they can use it to participate on the site and distribute rewards/earn curation.
