RE: HF 19: self voting ahoy!
I think it can also become an issue when you are being delegated a bulk of your stake for curation purposes...then those votes go to yourself at much larger percentages than you're giving out to others.
It's like that Steem Guild issue all over again...
"One vote at 5% for you...three votes at 100% for me!"
I agree with that. The responsibility for it should be in the hands of the delegator to ensure their stake is being used well.
How about 50/50?
I talked on @neoxian about his sp rental or delegation. 50%/50% upvotes for me/others sounds fair to everyone. That gives me 10-20% interest on my investment on delegation if steem will have a stable value or good median value. If I'll make it 30%/70% upvotes, Im throwing so much love on the community but there's a 30-40% chance that I can't get my ROI to rent SP again.
Above all these, I am only giving 5$ or less with my upvotes. A value that's incomparable to a 50-100$ self upvote. And lastly, this is still a mere plan. :)
Do you mean 50% of your daily votes to yourself? If that's what you're working out with your delegator, then that's between the two of you. That's not something I would do though and I don't think it's very helpful overall. Why not just buy the stake yourself instead of renting it at high rates?
I have delegated stake. I've been using it mostly on others. I only post about 5 times per week on average and only rarely vote my own comments. When I do, its a low percentage. For my blog posts, I generally vote right around the same amount that I use on other posts...sometimes slightly higher. But again - I only post about 5 times per week, and two of those are contests where I give away the liquid rewards.
Even doing that, I'm making some very good returns. Upvoting myself at 100% while giving a small fraction of that to others would make me feel pretty dirty. I don't understand why people feel the need to do that, especially when they're using stake that isn't even theirs...that they didn't invest themselves. It just seems very cheap and greedy to me.
