I will leave the delegation as long as you need it. To be honest I have been working harder to build myself back up what I have given out in delegation between yourself and my wife. I think I picked good souls to support and since you both seem to be producing much better quality content than myself you can keep the giving spirit going to the next person.
It is all an experiment in character I think. The fact you want to support a new person after seeing the difference a little steem power does makes me proud I choose you to begin with. Keep being @rubencress and you can keep the delegation.
Wow, I'm quite dumbfounded with this insight. Never thought there are plenty of folks like you on this platform. In my few days (or months) of stay on this platform, I kept seeing folks looking only for personal gains, self upvoting and hoarding their precious SP, but you, you're on another level good sir. You would rather let others who produce better content than yourself have that precious SP. May God bless you with more than what you have given out. That also goes to your family. Kudos!
Eroded is very kindhearted and indeed selfless. This idea is inspired because of his out of the blue delegation to me when I had absolutely no clue what delegation even meant.
He did a post about sharing his perspective about delegation and why, in his opinion, it could be a good decision to delegate small minnows on the platform, I'm small myself. But that doesn't mean I can't give just as equal to make a statement and following his ideas about delegation.

i didn't see that post...LOL you are the best choice my friend
Yours is a good initiative sir, I just hope some Whales would see your heart and follow the same...Keep it going sir, I believe it will come back to you, in good measure. I wish I could Power up like you do, but as of now my family is really in need, but as soon as I get 500 SP I will also delegate to others. Thank you and God bless you sir!
way to go . great experiment . good choice in Ruben . I will do the same DTD . I will talk to you in chat about this . have some ?
I am Jaka Emmanuel Lumanao, a month old steemian. At first, the reason why I joined steemit its because I badly need money. I thought I am the only Filipino steemian and Im afraid I have 0% success rate in the platform. Weeks have passed, I had a lot realizations, It turns out that Im not the only person who needs help and I found a lot of reasons to steem,
1st is to help others
2nd is to interact with others
3rd is the importance of originality
4th respecting other's culture
and etc. I know, I have no chance of winning. I just want you to know that you helped me a lot! You put an end to things that I fear most specially on financial problem matters. I just want to Thank you (I hope I can do it personally) and rest of our crypto friends :)
Ill be celebrating my first month in the platform and thanks all to you @rubencress :)
Overcoming your own boundaries is one hell of a job Jaka. I struggle with my own, as so many other people. I'm very happy to see that you're doing very well on the platform! Already at 45 REP! how about thatttt. Has it been one month already? :-D Time flies when you're having fun huh! I'm looking forward to see some more beach posts to make me jealous and motivate me to chase my goals.
Talk to you soon.
Good luck in your project, but...don't do 100% power up. I understand why, but don't.
I send everything I earn to bittrex, then trade it back and forth to earn more. It's the only way I can earn enough to power up the amount I want in a short period of time, plus earn more to spend it on things I need. It might look like I'm just sending it away to spend it, but I'm not. Powering up is important. It's also not bad to spend it though. SBD was made to spend.
Yeah, you're absolutely right. Might do the same as well.
choosing a 100% power up in potential rewards is no good decision, you loss more rewards
I might want to reconsider that indeed, for now, I wanted to point out that I'll be Powering Up 100% and invest 100% back in Steemit. I am still a small fish myself, so I could use the extra rewards. @lemony-cricket pointed out that it would also be better for taking the SBD down, as it should be pegged to 1$, and not as crazy high as it is right now. Thanks!
As long as you can trade the SBD for more steem than you make at 100% power up take the SBD. The broken peg creates the power of those who wish to power up to get higher SP by trading them in for steem. Don't sell yourself short thinking everyone will try to help the peg, right now the majority of the SBD's are going to the Bid Bots and to @freedom. He has stacked a quarter million of them so far in his account and he funds most of the vote sellers with delegation.
Would be nice to get this project supported by @freedom LOL, one hit and I would be @done and could delegate to two people I think. Do you think he is keeping the SBD to make it peg to 1 USD?
I didn't know you did stand up too.
non in steemit can take sbd down to $1 unless they will overflow with sbd in the market but the truth is not steemit make the price of sbd more than $1.
since this was the situation, all we can do is ride the tide.
-since long term view of powering up or staking more steem power, It is good to take advantage of 50/50% potential rewards, then trade sbd to steem then power up. this is the best way and gain more sp, than lossing more potential sp in 100% potential rewaRDS
That's what I thought also but @kevinli made me realized I was wrong. I didn't know that SP reward is DIVIDED not multiplied to current STEEM value so the higher the Steem price the LESS we get with 100% Power Up reward setting. 😂
READ: When is the Best Time to Power Up 100%?
50/50 is still BEST then just Buy STEEM and Power Up
.
If I have more cash I'd
Buy Steem Power from my own pocket to be an INSTANT WHALE :-D
This is a good and generous move. Keep it up man. I was delegated with 50 by @jrswab and it really boosted my moral and ego and avoided that dreaded bandwidth issue. 50 is not a lot I know but it is really a big help, that 50 is like 500 already for a starter like me :)
Good luck on this @rubencress,
That's very generous of @jrswab! And good to know that even 50 would help you boost your morality! Could you share what you have found valuable when you we're getting delegated? For example, being able to cast more votes?
The 50 SP delegation highlights these 2
Cool, thanks for sharing. To me personally, I really enjoyed the ability to cast more votes to posts that I enjoy without burning my Voting Power too fast.
If people are desperate for a slider while being a minnow, they can always get one by using the tool described in https://steemit.com/steem/@ironshield/instructions-chrome-vote-percentage-slider-for-minnows
I think you're missing the point of this blog post as this is not about a 'slider'. But thanks for sharing a link for those who are in desperate need of a slider.
I love the concept of this project, it would greatly help small minnows who are struggling on this platform, and in some way that little minnow could also help others back having a slider would mean more votes going around. Kudos to this great initiative. Cheers~
@jamesanity06
I'm not sure if 400 SP delegation would be enough to get a small minnow a slider. Let's hope for the best ;-)
Thank you @rubencress your initiative is truly appreciated. This project will definitely help minnows who are learning to swim in the steemit ocean. Plus they will have the chance to be able to give back to other folks by having their power increased.
Exactly! It changed for me big time, the curation rewards itself were more beneficial already after 7 days. It would be good to seek a talented, eager to learn Steemian that is undervalued.
I remember when I first rented delegations to blocktrades to get myself a slider. Being able to use a lower percentage while retaining value felt awesome and being able to vote for more people is addictive.
Although I have placed some people on autovote. Majority I still do manual curation and voting.
I find leaving a good comment and engagement as important as leaving an upvote.
IMO though using the 100% power up might not be the most efficient way. I tried that before and was losing out on some instances that it could have gotten more Steem with the ratios. I still stack from time to time but often wait for a good entry point but that is just me haha.
Great initiative man.
I have most of my friends on Auto-vote, I know they provide good and mostly high content and do not abuse the reward-pool. This makes it also more enjoyable while reading their posts without remembering if you have up-voted them or not. Manual curation is fun to do, especially when you have found something good no one else has seen yet x).
I do find it hard to place a good comment as my brain is mostly thinking in images. When I was active on Instagram, I had a WhatsApp group and taught others how to increase the content-value of their comment instead of just replying with "nice shot" or "great sunset". It's funny, some things you can explain well to others, and yet I can't seem to teach myself ;-).
Let's pass the delegation stick @erodedthoughts gave me.
You are such a nice person for helping other small fish.I am cdaveboyles23,small fish but willing to grow by your delegation for me I can do more things for this platform.I hope you can also help my mother @deevi who had been experienced bandwidth all the time.She is more active than me.She has a talent in writing good story and more in giving tutorial in cooking.She deseved to have additional sp for her future goals. I feel so sorry for my mother since her password has gone.Accidentally she got wrong in copy pasting it while she was going to change her password.She cried like a baby. IT HAS BEEN 7DAYS AGO STILL RESET PASSWORD DIDN'T COME.I hope you can help my mother @deevi to have sp as long as her account will be ok.Thank you Sir.Gobless.
Thank you so much for sharing. You're saying that she has lost her password? I don't think she can retrieve her account if she lost it. Let's hope for the best.
