A @Steem-UA delegation initiative
I haven't run a delegation competition for a while but I have decided to try out a different tactic for this one. This comes with a few caveats though. My goal is to encourage content producers and hopefully get some thinking about the way they interact on Steem.
I am going to delegate either, 25SP (1 vote per week) or, 50SP (2 votes per week) to users who;
- Comment on this post politely with a brief explanation of "why you"
- When I check accounts; must have posts I consider half decent
- The open posts have to be older than this post
- Account has to have at least 40 Steem Power
- Those already signed up to User Authority don't qualify
- But you can nominate a worthy account if you think they qualify (no alts)
- I only want active accounts of post content producers to apply
I plan to delegate to between 10 and 20 accounts.
I am going to delegate directly to the users and then they are going to delegate their own SP to @steem-ua (This is why one must already have Steem Power in the account). This can be done via @steemchiller's @steemworld using your active key when prompted or a few other ways.
- My delegation period will run until October 31st (Halloween) unless I forget.
This should be able to add more value to these accounts than I can add over the same period with the same amount of SP myself, and automate the process a little without requiring or encouraging self-voting with delegation. I hope it will help those who get it also think about their space on the platform and perhaps improve the way they interact with other users.
This isn't charity though, it is a social contract in the hope to encourage content, engagement and a future position on Steem. The cost to you is some effort each week to produce a post or two. I might even drop by and bump on the odd occasion with my own vote.
After I delegate, I will announce the delegations and then check each after 24 hours to make sure the same amount (25/50) is delegated to @steem-ua. If I find any nonsense, I will cut the delegation.
The size of vote you will get from @steem-ua will be dependent on many factors but you can check your rating here:
https://steem-ua.com/ by signing in through Steemconnect. I don't know how it is calculated but @scipio seems to believe it is worth it so in the vein of trust, I trust he knows what he is doing. This will help their project and the users who get delegation a little perhaps.
You can resteem this post if you want to give others the opportunity to take part or tell them in discords etc.
Good luck

OK, I'd like to nominate two accounts if I can...
@petesays - He tries very hard to write great posts, applies passion and injects a lot of himself into his work. He seems to be having trouble gaining traction and yet has kept grinding it out. He has had a lot of personal struggle off-platform and I noticed has not posted for a few days so I hope this doesn't preclude him from the benefits you offer.
@papacrusher - What can I say about this asshole...I mean top sort! :) He operates man. The guy is a deep thinker, wields a gun as fast and accurately as he does his mind, trains the thin blue line in firearms safety and handling and yet has time to write with passion and validity on steemit.
Both of these users interact widely with other users, reply with relevance and interest and work hard at their own blogs.
What a great notification to wake up to! Thank you so much for the nomination, it is greatly appreciated!
You're welcome my brother. You'd have done the same for me.
I know you are already helping me out a lot in growing my account. I have and still have delegations out to family, friends and communities, all of these are non-profit delegations, (no strings). I have never tried delegating for profit, but I am interested in growing my account and this seems like a way to try to grow a little bit more, and dip my toes in the delegate for profit waters, without selling my vote.(just a little vote power)
no worries. you are added to be considered.
Do you have a discord btw?

Thanks. yes.
Really great idea. I found out about this opportunity from @wolfhart.
Why me? honestly one of the hardest questions to answer. The answer off the top of my head is so I can continue to help others grow and build a stable middle-class. My thought out answer: Right now I am averaging 3 posts a week, really want to get up to daily posting. I do spend a great portion of my time supporting others and groups such as @pifc and @asapers. Every little bit helps the more my SP grows the better votes I can give out. Even an upvote translates into growing SP.
Hello @tarazkp 😊 I haven't sign up for steem-ua yet, though I read many information about it lately, why? Because steemconnect asking for my masterkey😔 is it allright? I was told that even for steemit.com I need to use the posting key though, when I use the blocktrades to power up or sending steem for sbi, it asked me to use my masterkey too.
I have my own SP around 80 and 431 delegation SP from 3 accounts yabapmatt, abh12345 and simplymike. simplymike will take back the 50 SP delegation on september 6th, it means that I couldn't used the slider if I didn't have 500 SP. At the other side, I really want to have an experience about how to delegate SP myself, I'd like to delegate 50 SP but I only have 81😯 do you have any suggestion?
Thank you 👐
You need your active key for Steemconnect - no need for master, ever (unless wanting to change all keys).
Lets see what happens when your delegations settle....
Last time I tried to use ulogs and busy through steem connect.. it said the active is incorrect, after trying for 3 times😯 I quit, better use steemit though. But I will try for steem.ua ... hope that this time the active key will work. Thanks @abh12345☺ I need to reach 100 of my own first.
You can find your active key here: https://steemit.com/@cicisaja/permissions
You will need to log in with your owner key to show it.
Good luck!
Hehehe.. I already have that 😊 but thank you for the information.. but is my active key changeable I mean.. is steemit change it frequently? I have a back up so I don't have to access it everytime I need.
No, only you can change it, with Master password :)
I want to delegate X sp to @user
Where X is the amount of SP and @user is the steem user you want to delegate to. For example:
I want to delegate 100 sp to @tarazkp
@tipU will answer with a delegation link. Hope this helps!:)
Thank you @tipu 😊 but that's not the suggestion I need 😂
Hello, This is a very nice thing to do. Why you might consider me is that I am a active member of both ASAPERS and Pay It Forward and both groups are trying to do the same things. I also take part in a lot of contest but also try to share good info on crypto and life. Most of my votes go to redfish and minnows so you will be supporting a group of people who are trying to grow here. Well have a good one and thanks for even doing this.
Thanks a lot I saw a 25 boos show up on my wallet today.
An honestly great initiative. It's so great to see how you are selflessly helping out minnows without asking for anything in return unlike all those folks who keep begging for resteems and votes.
I would be really grateful if you could include me in the consideration. I post around 2-3 times a week and I think you would love to see my work :)
Because, why not me. What kind of a question is that :) just kidding. I really enjoy these kind of support to newbs, hope it reaches out to them. I just want to add something, delegation can be done via steemconnect as well.
Here are steem-ua's quick delegation links;
25 SP | 50 SP
more can be found in their posts.
ps. Your ua score is 2.383 and you have a ua rank of 17422 :|
Thanks for the links, I will add them to the update post of accounts :)
1.2 million accounts.
I like your generosity.
I'm planning to delegate 250sp to @steem-ua by weekend
Why me?
I don't delude myself with the thought that I should get the delegation, but I know how much I want it. I got a little 'job' checking out posts and submitting those I see as good enough to be upvoted and encouraged, and it is painful and a tad shameful that my upvotes don't do that even before I submit them to my 'boss'. This delegation will help me put my money where my mouth it, so to say.
Also, I hope to use this delegation to grow my own SP by voting great posts and earning curation rewards so when the delegation period is over, my SP will be a little better.
Thirdly, I get to also delegate to @steem-ua. I love delegations, they are like lending a hand without losing the said hand. So I get to be a part of the community interactive process which the steem platform runs on.
Finally, I have seen great writers and I know I try, but I'm getting towards greatness, not there yet. I fit into the criteria listed for qualification. I try.
Why me? I really want this and I'd be very happy to get it.
Thank you @tarazkp for the opportunity.
Why me? That seems like an existential question. Huh. Well, I write stories which nobody reads, which kinda defeats the purpose of writing them. I make an app for steem called steemer, which is a free android application with no beneficiaries. And fast as shit. That is all I could think of. Well that sucks. Have fun.
