RE: Delegating SteemPower - The best idea since the invention of sliced bread?!
I'm by no means an expert, but in my few weeks here on steemit I've come to the conclusion that it's not supposed to be a democracy. There is a strong anarchist influence behind the ideal that steemit has no central governing entity. In a way that's true now because the whales are distributing wealth and power. It's happening slowly but as @dantheman mentioned in his post, it's important to protect steemit until it's entrenched in society.
Is the idea you've proposed a solution to the problem some have with voting? I doubt it. Being based on democratic ideals, of power being temporarily given and then taken back, it doesn't really fit. I suspect that we need to look closer at the behaviour of voters to determine what "game" they should be playing so that the community benefits without driving individuals away. No easy feat.
I said more democratic, not democracy. the idea is this, whales need to vote more, but there's only so much humanely possible. so they can't. delegating will be like they multiply themselves.
Yes, it might a temporary solution but unless you can create 100 more whales out of thin air, curation as a dolphin/low SP is not helping the individuals so much. Everyone hopes to get the attention of a whale. EVERYONE: 40.000 accounts hoping for the attention of 50 whales[ if there are as many ]. in 2 months they'll be 100.000+ and STILL 50 whales. That's the problem and a proposed solution.
BUT! I did say and I do think I'm not necessary seeing all the angles and a better solution is possible and I can not phantom it, that's cool. that's why i'm looking forward to the discussion my post and others will birth and ALSO why I thank you for taking the time to comment!
