Ecency Points are earned for every action on Ecency and can be used to receive a 200 HP delegation called Boost+
Even writing and commenting on Waves earns POINTS!
A 7 day delegation is 1500 Points and 30 Days is 6000 points.
Ecency curators freely give out Votes on posts, with the largest % of votes given to active Points earners who publish using Ecency.
I agree that small accounts should not delegate their HP away.
