AskSteemit: You have 50 million SteemPower for a month to use, what do you do?

in #asksteemit6 years ago

This time around, instead of me writing a post about the question asked, I'd rather just make it short with a few rules and interact with the comments instead.

50 million SP will give you a vote of $2400, that's $24000 daily.

You can do anything with it, self-voting - what would you do with the rewards?
Funding - what would you fund and why?
Curating - how would you curate and who?

Go! :)

Edit because I don't read good I guess. I missed the whole "for a month" part. Assuming that means the stake is delegated, I can't have an effect on witness rankings, or redelegate to curation initiatives. Also, I'd have to let it go. Whoops :D

  1. No self-vote. At 50m SP there's literally no reason. Curation rewards from $24000 in daily votes, even if voting at the very end, should be more than enough to live on.
  2. Shake up the witness rankings. Some people would be happy and some would be sad, but one thing is for sure: things would change. And if I didn't like the results, they would change again, and so on.
  3. Counteract bad actors. With 50m SP there would be almost no limit to my ability to negate the voting behaviour of bad actors on Steem. I needn't elaborate on who they are.
  4. Drop random bombs. The idea of this has always excited me. Once a day I'd take a 100% vote and just drop it on someone. New, old, whatever. Someone who I thought deserved it.
  5. Delegate to manual curation initiatives. I am not a wonderful curator myself, and I think that's okay, because there are some pretty great community curation projects here. I would use a large amount of my stake to support their activity.
  6. Let it go. Slowly over time, I would power down and distribute stake directly by making purchases, giving donations, running contests, and similar actions. I would also burn a decent portion of it. 50m SP is just way too much for one person to have.

My upvote went to you for your point #3.
That was exactly in my mind too. First - build the own reputation to 83+. (as there is no any other option). Second - make steemit the better place.

I would think about all of the good things I could do then I'd UPVOTE MYSELF INTO OBLIVION.

After closely considering all the incentives this blockchain offers, I would absolutely vote only for myself.
After having staked up the whole month, I would then continue to vote myself, but spread some 10% of my VP over different authors and perhaps some sock puppets.
Every other month, I would start a new challenge - the more privacy invading and humiliating for the contestants, the better.
If a project had minnow or curation in its title and I could get more coins from it, I would support it.
After all, I have been a minnow once.

I would become the average Steemian's new hero and selflessly good whale, like ned or berniesanders.

like ned or berniesanders.

I feel like you're referring to someone else. xD

I thought that was the best part of my reply, actually.

challenge - the more privacy invading and humiliating for the contestants

Any examples of this one? :D

That is just my personal touch :)

To quote the one and only Uncle Ben

"With great power comes great responsibility"

Atm I post usually one post a day and usually I upvote that post with 100%.

That would not fly anymore...As I think most of my posts are not shit posts I dont think they are worth 2400$. My plan is to be able to live from my Steemit earnings so I would upvote myself for 100$.

Well that is probably easier said then done and maybe I would get greedier over time...dont know tbh as 5 million SP would mean a pretty heavy investment and with that I want ROI of course...but that is a topic for another day.

I would use some VP to downvote some of the shit in trending.

I would fund some projects or initatives like steemmonster, comedy open mic and chibera for example.

Curating...I would feel like with that much SP you would be pretty delicate what you vote with higher VP.

But even a 1% vote has significant impact. I would probably vote more in 5% steps. Atm I give out less but therfore with more VP votes out.

I think I would have to need to change that as I would decide pretty much by myself who is trending and who is not if I so choose.

I would delegate 5000 SP every day for at least a month to minnows who apply and I think will put it good work.

I would start a charity account where trusted Steemians get the key to and can post for a good cause. I would upvote this quite heavy to get the needed exposure and to fund it meaningful.

  1. Be pardoned as heck that everyone just started to like me for my SP
  2. 10% upvote on one of my blogs per day
  3. For once write a community blogs on the community account and 100% 2 of them per week max to build up some SP and reputation over there.
  4. 10-20% updvote a couple times a week on some people that have made life enjoyable on Steemit. They are the reason why I keep wanting to come back day after day
  5. Curate the daylights out of some amazing authors out there.
  6. Find some amazing comments and show them some love as well.
  7. Upvote some community leaders. There too many to think of at this time that go day in and day out without getting many votes at all despite their dedication and time invested into making places enjoyable.


Before people flood this blog with all them self righteousness, let me start by saying I'll spread the love to people making quality shitposts(the funny ones). I'll put comedy, music, posts about alcohol, weed and other "substances" that bring happiness. I might also fuck around get into a flagging battle with @ned for the hell of it(Doubt he'll get into it) Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I'll upvote the shit out of @wafrica @comedyopenmic and everyone that uses them tags. I'll not forget my closest friends on here of course and I'll make them rich as fuck too. Did I mention the flagging battle with @ned? 😂

ive changed my mind. prefer your idea lol

You're a winner. Come on down to @comedyopenmic there's a lot of funny money with your name on it.

lol, I'm sure there are plenty of other flagwar happy whales around :D
Would be fun if they didn't know it's for a month only and would stop posting their daily 10 shitposts and leave. :D

Exactly, It'll be so much fun. My discord will be flooded with death threats and pleas. Oh the fun times.

Definitly i will support streaming on steem, then i will support really skilled players to make the best e-sport team. Imagine that will be awesome to represent Steem at LCS, MSI or Worlds. Next i will create several tags for diffrent conetent like streaming, esport, best action montages. I will not forget about people who send me donation with text about their work on steemit. I will reward them with my love upvote.

I would create the biggest circle jerk group ever. Then when we would be ready to start upvoting ourselves, I would just downvote every one of them.
#endcirclejerking #itisdemotivating

Well, will self-vote at 20 percent
50 percent of that upvote will go to @minnowbuilder and @wafrica and @kevinwong because these accounts support me and many other small accounts


And the rest will go to the contents I fancy.
That's for a day.@ladywayne will get a 10 percent upvote for being a sweetheart

For a month will be delegating 95 percent of my sp.
65 percent will go to small account users struggling with resource credit
I will then scout for a project worth my sp and delegate the rest to them.
In all honesty, this is too much power for one man. I will need a team to help me out.

Keeping it real, I'd give myself probably 1-2 upvotes per day, and the rest I'd use to fund multiple new and focused front-ends. One for art and one for comics. Then I'd pay/hire some of the best in those industries to create some exclusive content that they would only release on these frontends. Part of their deal would be to advertise these projects on all their social media, then I'd curate new users that came and participated. This way, I primarily pay the herder and not the sheep.(I don't mean sheep in a negative way, just having people bring their following with them)

In this imaginary scenario, if I really only had this for a month, I'd also need to fund some alt accounts so that I could keep this up although to a lesser extent in the future past that one month.

If that sounds at all unselfish, don't be mistaken, I'd be taking a percentage on those front-ends :) But hey, I'd pay top dollar so they'd be super awesome, and create an empowering system for artists and creators as well as consumers, I think it would be a win win.

I think most would at least self upvote somewhat so when it ends, they would have more to keep up the curating with.

I would definitely upvote people from gaming communities, especially opgaming, people that stream on vimm, but look at all sorts of different posts to find the quality and share the love!

Of course, I would give small upvotes to myself so it isn't being greedy and the vote power % stays at a good height. When it ends I would keep the curating going with the help of the extra bits from curation and such.

I would be a lot more active once more like I aim to be soon enough.

You have a sexy way of putting things.

I'm not sure yet but that's what i'm trying to figure out with my current funds. i'm aiming to put things in percentage values just not sure yet how much for each (ie 20% to funding projects, 20 % curating 20%.... etc) large $ figure hopefully shouldn't change my plan. even though over time i may refine it

Sounds too stressful. Just flag war with like 50 alts

Would probably help fund the projects that are already supporting me right now. Stuff like OPgaming, SteemGC, and Archdruid. Would also help fund other apps like Vimm at this moment since I know it's so important for users and the platform itself to actually float on it's own! But like I don't currently delegate because my SP is too low so I don't know that much about it but those are the main ideas that came up to me as I read this post... It's not about getting something back, it's about giving something out back to the people who have helped seen the light and opportunities in here!

And yeah, I'd probably self vote like once or twice........

Giving back is always a great feeling. :)

Once or twice a day. Self vote once or twice a day.

Three times....

Hey dude... .sorry, this probably isn't the right forum, but my username isn't correct in @ocdb... it's got a space character between the @ and the aussieninja (ie, a %20), so it's not recognising my whitelistingness. Could you have another look when you've got a spare moment?

In answer to your question, I would definitely put funds towards @lifesacircus' movie that she's trying to generate finances for. I think that would be a huge use case and example for other people in the arts to turn to the blockchain...

I've also got a ton of developments in mind that I'd use that SP to pay developers, graphic designers, content creators, etc for... I feel like I have a new idea every day of Dapps that could be based off the Steem blockchain... some of which would enhance our experience here (an absolutely killer front end for a start) but also to create Dapps for niche areas that don't even know they're on the Steem blockchain because the Dapps are the entire ecosystem they want.

I'd also like to create tools that businesses, marketers and influencers would use on the blockchain; dashboards, statistics, etc to quantify the effectiveness of investing in the blockchain to further promote products, services, etc.

That's weird, it shows as aussieninja in the whitelist so it should be working. I've heard of the %20 bug before but can't remember where.

I removed and re-added you if you can try again, let me know if it doesn't work and I'll notify the dev. Thanks!

Thanks dude, that's seemed to have worked!

today, where I stand, I would self vote 90%+ of the time and set myself up financially. Will probably power everything up and then use my new high steem power to give myself a nice income ... all you guys already have a lot of steem power and wealth...I do not...I need the support of you guys and your votes to help me get more steem power

if I had that much power, I would vote for all steemians except those who like to make plagiarism. I think they all need it, now Steemian really misses something like that ...

Honestly since it's only good for A MONTH, I would probably succumbed to self-voting to get $24,000 daily.

$24,000 * 30 = $720,000 and then power it all up to create an account that only curates Anime-related posts ! Lol

I've actually answered a similar question about this on Musing but it was for 5 Million SP: https://musing.io/q/ikibaru-san/p36kzmb95

That would be a very big slice of Steemit's daily rewards, I believe if I wanted things to improve the best I could do is just have a bot look for people with low SP and give them 1% votes that would be 1000 people every day getting a big vote, and make sure the recipients change every day. I think that would help Steemit, and I don't think a self vote would be necessary as I would get very big curation rewards from these votes.

Distribute rewards in equitable manner to small accounts that show commitment to the platform, recruit quality popular authors that currently publish outside of the platform, and downvote low quality posts that drain the rewards pool.

24000 daily is more than what half of all people earn in a full-time job per year. No Idea how I should get 50 Millionen SP but for sure I would spend a good portion on me to secure my future,(50%) I met a lot of cool people so I would give them another portion(20%) and the rest would be split probably between good content (20%) and some charity (10%)

Start by spreading encourage to the newbies, then reward the Daily consistent quality posters, and commenters, repeat.

would go on an upvoting spree lol

I will utilize 40 % of it to curate good contents of authors, who have not crossed 2k SP. And then I will utilize the rest of the 60 % to do a lottery to reward 7 winners daily, to anyone, who participates and not won previously and do not have more than 300 SP. The reason, is the better the steem ratio is distributed, the more powerful the community will be. Of course, there will be spams, but making a video intro with some id, would help eliminate most :)

And all the curation rewards for me :)

Loading...

Curating fiction/poetry. We got some lovely work of fiction hereon the platform.

I would fund @steemstem to finish the homepage, because I share their (our) goal to create a platform for open science communication on the Steem blockchain, and I really think there is great potential in that idea, both from a academic and a financial point of view. I wouldn't curate much I think, because with 50M, my vote would be overpowered.

I will write a bot to randomly upvote all new posts each with 0.1% upvote weight. Each post will receive 2.4 $ worth of vote for total 10k posts each day.

Holding 50 million SP which may amount to $24,000 daily would be such a blessing to my community. That amounts to 7.2 million NGN in my local currency daily. I will dedicate Two months of rewards in building a Cryptocurrency University (May be I call it Steem University) in my country to teach blockchain technology and the Freedom economy it offers.

  • I will dedicate one month earnings to building 6 charity homes in the Six Geopolitical zones in my Nation.

  • I will dedidcate other months to voting similar projects as mine at 50% voting power.

@acidyo, please is @ned delegating that or???

Hmm... $2400 per vote you say. 1 month. Well, without giving this too much thought, my answer is:

Before doing anything, I would crunch some numbers and see exactly how much I need to continue my education and afford my living expenses until December 2019.

I would probably give myself one fat, juicy upvote per day until the last ~10 days or so. After that I would probably start to upvote my own content two times per day with 100%, but it depends on the numbers I got in the beginning. However, that should be enough to grow my account and to continue my education and it should be enough to cover any unforeseen circumstances along the way.

So, during the first ~20 days or so, I'd probably spread a handful of 5-10% votes across the platform. Mainly to people who've been supporting me through thick and thin. I would reward my audience, as that would ultimately give me more support in the future.

Next, I would focus on the asapers. I would (like I do today) curate newcomers and red fish through the asapers project. I would also upvote the asapers posts with 100%, just to make sure that the project will be in a position to operate properly. After that, I'd focus on the "push people"-initiative. Instead of sending users steem/sbd/SP, I'd give anyone in range of a community push an upvote that would push them to minnowhood.

That would ultimately make it easier for everyone involved in the project, as they wouldn't have to sacrifice any of their own rewards during this time, and it would also produce a bunch of minnows, which I truly believe can be seen as our first real middle-class on Steemit.

I thought about doing something to counter any form of "reward pool rape" or whatever too, but I wouldn't. As my SP would be limited for 30 days, it would be literally impossible to change things up, as the "rape" could easily continue after the 30 days. Therefore, I'd empower those I can and reward authors I like instead.

I would probably go to the introduceyourself posts and start upvoting newcomers too. Just with a tiny fraction of my VP, but it should be enough to encourage them.

I'm not entirely sure of how much VP I would have left after doing this. There's a bunch of things I would do. However, on the final day, just before I'd lose the Steem Power, I'd go nuts and do a bunch of 10-20% votes all over the place. Until I had 0 VP.

I would double it and give half away.

About the votes I would love to help the newbies with great content to get noticed and about rewards question i will found cancer patients on my country like that this quantity of money will never goes on stupid stuff. sharing is caring

50 million SP will give you a vote of $2400, that's $24000 daily.

You can do anything with it, self-voting - what would you do with the rewards?

We would use it to fund the InformationWar/DecentralizedTruth efforts. We would do some self voting to fund equipment for everyone.

Funding - what would you fund and why?

Some people in our group need better computers, graphics cards, monitors, money to upgrade their internet, hard drives for back up storage on podcasts, webcams, cameras, etc. That would be enough money to hire some people to create movie quality productions for videos to post online. Advertising. Fulfilling our general goals of getting people to understand the important of decentralization and getting onto blockchains to resist censorship.

Curating - how would you curate and who?

We would keep our curating the same. We curate things in the #informationwar tag, and also go into #news/#politics/#familyprotection and a few other places. Upvoting content creators/producers who regularly contribute to the project and the IW-Team. Curators would keep everything they curate as is our standing rule(all curation rewards to curators).

I'll be the voice of @kevinwong ( who is probably busy playing Red Dead Redemption 2 for the foreseeable future ) : I would be pomping out crap with my alt account while voting it like crazy to point out how broken the current voting system is, which rewards mostly bid bots and self voters. Trollolololol :D

First thing I'm going to do is to delegate half of it to 5 other trusted people or communities who will help me spread the love around to a more diverse groups of Steemians, and those whom I don't normally reach.

Then, I'm going to make sure I upvote the quality travel posts on the @Steemitworldmap to support the travel community.

Next, I'm going to specify some ground rules for quality posts. Those who consistently post 3 or 4 times a week will get 50% upvote each time, and if they keep up the work they will get 100% upvote the following the week. I want to improve the quality of stuff on Steemit.

I will have to upvote myself twice a day as well as having suffcient SP in the long run is the only way I can continue to support others here.

I'd better wake up now ....


Finally, as I have been lucky to travel a lot, I know some people who would need some help to develop wonderful projects. It will be for them.My life is not so bad! I would consolidate this life with a few self-votes, then I would invest the rest in the theme that I try to develop for some time on steemit: the underwater image like here (https://steemit.com/seaphotography/@marc-allaria/seaphotograhy-contest-week-14-theme-announcement)

Good day! In case if I will have 50 million SP I will do so:
1 Curating
I will curat as much content as it possible. And it's not depends is it minnow or a whale created this content. It should be quality content first of all.
2 Funding
First of all I will spend part of it to grow up thuther my account. Then I will spend part of the funds on charity. As an example, help to orphanages and shelters.
And one more part to build witness node and maybe to create some Steem based platform .

  1. And of course some part of my VP which I will not spend for curation I will spend for delegation as a prize pool of some challenges and as investment to such services like @tipu, Minnowbooster or Smartsteem. Because I think if I will have such amount of SP it should work for something useful and good. And for good at first place. It shouldn't be just a passive bank of VP. That's my opinion.

I would try steemmonsters and I guess I'll start writing and voting people who comment on my posts.

Other than that I'll be doing what i normally do

At the moment I would just flag the shit out of all those suckers who keep beating me in @steemmonsters Mirror-Matchups.

And right now, the week before Steemfest, I would upvote a few chicks going there to get the upvote-diggers (Steem's form of the gold-digger) running in my arms when I arrive there.

The daily selfvote(s) can't be missing as well of course!

Those would be my biggest concerns at the moment - the rest of the VP could of course go to the more serious stuff the other people mentioned in their answers! :)

However I think it's funny that so many people would curate soooo well if they just had much power - But who stops them from doing so with their little SP?! Who would really curate with a 2400$ upvote who doesn't curate with his 2cent vote? Saying you would do something and actually doing it then are two very different things.

That's a really hard question!

I'd follow #SteemSTEM with a bit, because they really do a good job with curation.

I'd try to upvote technology posts like programming and electronics, because even with SteemSTEM, they often go under-rewarded.

I'd continue to support artists and photographers. Artists and writers are surprisingly still under supported on here. Maybe I could get a group of curators to help with curating writers with that much SP.

I'd try to use it in some way to fund a group of developers to produce projects for the Steem blockchain. We need more things to help encourage curation. We also need more cool games.

Think I got enough things there to fully utilize all that delegation? TBH, with only a month, I would probably freak out a bit. The thing there that I wanna do the most is find out a way to be able to run a group of developers...but that would probably take a lot longer.

I see that everyone would create his circle jerk. Lol... The future is bright with you guys -.-'

I don't know. I don't believe in overnight success, so I wouldn't know how to handle it, even if it would be only a temporary delegation.

Imma self vote myself for 30 days and then give it back to the community later by voting on good content whenever anyone publishes it, simple 😂.

Will also upvote upcoming project related to improving Steem blockchain and steemit, but not anything else.

Posted using Partiko iOS

Interesting question. Playing it smart, I would definitely self-upvote for the entire month except for the last day where I would drop a big 100% vote on a struggling minnow. At the end of the month, with the current price of SBD, I would probably have upwards of 700,000 in Steem Power. I would then dedicate the rest of my time on Steemit to curating the best content minnows have to offer because by building them you are supporting the next generation of dolphins and whales who will equally support other minnows. Shout out to the amazing @wafrica, @steemmonsters and @OCD for the good work they do supporting minnows as well. I would probably throw in a delegation from my account.

Waooo 50,000,000 sp, the common response, will support users with quality and original publications really hahaha, although I do not consider myself an experienced curator, I would delegate SP to users who know the subject, I would give votes to authors who support to community of Steemit, and to the people or community where they reside, of course I would make the votes for myself that would allow me to finish conditioning and repairing my van Vw kombi, to bring food to the needy in the streets of the area where I live , I carry the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the organization of plastic arts and sporting events to take the youth away from the darkness and bring them to the light.

If I got it right now, I would give myself a autovote, pack my suitcase and attend Steem Fest, to meet many wonderful people from the Steemit community. I would delegate most of my steem Power to a person who will show that he would know how to use it while I attend the festival.

it's good to dream

Wow with that amount I would divide it between 200 votes of 5% each and those votes would be for the Steemit artists who, for me, are the ones who work the most and who earn the least, I would also leave about 50 votes for my Venezuelan brothers who I know they need it a lot and another 20 votes for those who always supported me when I did not have any power.

130 daily votes for 30 days to artists.
50 daily votes for 30 days for the Venezuelan Steemians.
20 votes per day for 30 days for those who always supported me.

I would start the project that would help us to reconstruct the history with the resolution of 1 km and 1 day even after 100 years
