Steemhunt received over a 100k delegation from their post yesterday here.
And it seems to increase with every hour.
They could very well have created a new standard for funding.
What I like about their funding model is that the delegated Steempower can be fully used to build the project instead of also being used to return part of it to the investors straight away.
Investors are not left empty handed though. They are earning future SMT Hunt tokens by delegating SP today.
If the project is a success, these tokens could be worth a lot more in the future.
If the project is a failure...well...you have lost some ROI on SP for some time. But you still have your STEEM.
Steemit Blockchain Team Update
The Steemit blockchain Team released an update about what they are working on here.
There is a lot of info there for developers/witnesses and investors but not much yet for end users.
It's mostly about scaling the blockchain and making it more efficient. SMT's and future Hard-forks are also mentioned.
If you like this sort of stuff it's a great read (I do) but if your looking for new cool things to try today (as a enduser) you will have to wait a little longer :)
I talk about it more in my vlog.
I am a witness with our developer group @blockbrothers for the Steem blockchain. If you want to support us I would appreciate your vote here.

Hi @exyle!
I've been following your vlogs for a long time. Congratulations for the succes. I've never used glasses and I went directly to laser surgery as my vision was getting worse over time.
Now I see perfectly and I truly recommend you to do that. Do some research about were are the best doctors in your city and then decide.
Best regards.
PS: Upvoted for visibility
Thank you for the info! I'll consider it if my new lenses will fail me.
Steemhunt is doing great with the delegation, their concept of creating a HUNT Token Economy for Product Influencers is simply awesome.
@hms818 you are right dear.
What I like about their funding model is that the delegated Steempower can be fully used to build the project instead of also being used to return part of it to the investors straight away.
You know, I am starting to understand one thing.
The possibilities of delegation are endless.
You could see ICO start that way, where by delegating you earn another token.
Cryptocurrency has so many ways of doing business.
It is crazy.
The future of #steem is so bright you can get blind.
Keep on steemin'
Yeah, there is a very interesting period upon us. A lot will change I suspect.
This is a great new standard for raising money! Thanks for the share!
I am liking the sound of this!
Completely missed @steemhunt so far and so thanks for bringing it to your audience.
I see that you've gone for an additional account, I'm wondering about the same but as I'm likely to submit few reviews (at least prior to being able to 'hide' content from other apps) that might not be necessary?
Could this be the start of a move away from delegations to bidbots, at least from smaller accounts, as people look to @steemhunt and other projects to put their SP into ready for the forthcoming airdrops - I really hope so!
Pretty exciting things starting to take shape, I'll be delegating today too.
Cheers!
My thoughts exactly . This might just be that salvation we have been waiting for and it's really exciting. Lets see how this pans out though.
Yeah, salvation!
It could be that it's not the one to spark a major move, but hopefully the beginning.
Are you planning/have you delegated in?
Mark @exyle Because of you doing this Posting I just made a Delegation of SP to @steemhunt . Thank you for bringing this to my Attention. I think this is a Wonderful Idea to participate in projects here on STEEM with the Future of SMT's in the Forefront !!
I didn't know you were part of @blockbrothers witness! You have my vote for sure! @ironshield
Thanks!
Who doesn't love a good initiative ? People are always looking out for something concrete and sustainable to invest in and steemhunt just gave them an avenue to. It's a wonderful project that deserves all the support it is receiving right now and like I said in one of Ur previous posts, if I had just about enough steem power as well, I would have done just the same.
i've been into steemhunt from the start with my 'hunt' show. i know they are going places. i'm super happy to have been supporting them from the start and the airdrop of the HUNT token is genius! :) nice one for supporting them too man.
I hope that the Steemhunt project will be successful and their HUNT tokens will be valued highly if SMTs go live.
It is good that @steemitblog updates us on where the developers are doing pertaining to the SMTs and other things so that the sentiment can be positive.
I wish your eyes good health on the impending checkup with an optician. Upvoted!
Great vlog about Steemhunt.
About your Dtube video. When a click the video, Dtube pops up. Is there a way to stay on Steemit and watch your video?
Steemit.com does not support this yet. Busy.org does.
Do you feel like it is worth it to invest if you have limited SP to begin with? For example, is there a threshold where you would say, if you are under x amount of SP it might be a good idea to wait on delegating to anyone... Just curious. It sounds like a cool initiative though.
I guess it depends if you use your SP to grow your own blog. If that's the case I would focus on that.
Yes, I power up all of my awards when the market is good. I am not pulling anything out at the moment, just working building my account. Thanks!
It does seems quite great and the way they are approaching liked it very much. No risk for investors in the project.
There is so many projects going on right now, im a little afraid that once SMT's come out its going to be even more of a nightmare keeping track of everything.
As times goes on, smart apps for keeping tracks would surface. I believe that
If the blockchain becomes so large that we can't keep track, that would be a good thing :)
Hi exyle - this should be vlog 309, no? Regardless keep up the good work. It is always a pleasure!
Thanks! fixed
Thank you for mentioning Steemhunt here :)
FYI: Total delegation is over 160K now!
Thank you for your support and we'll do our best to make it succeed!
It's even higher now, great result for you guys! Congrats.
Good funding method but I'm not convinced by the actual project itself. Time will tell!
The steemhunt funding model does seem to be a good one all round @exyle. If I had more SP I'd delegate but, right now, I still need every bit of power I can get. 😊
I know you can't say for sure but do you think we will ever get back to where we could power up 1SBD and get 1Steem/SP in return?
I can't say this. I took the the gamble that it will go up (SBD) and for now I'm wrong.
Lots of updates came from the steem team which is really exciting lot of air cleared which was blurry got to know a lot from your blog too thanks for sharing all the details
Very good times we are living in!!! If only i had built up reserves to delegate too. Still building my stack. It will come. Have a wonderful day!
Nice and helpful post , thank you . Keep good work .
Your post is always different i follow your blog everytime , your post is so helpful . I always inspire of your post on my steem work . Thank you for sharing @exyle
hunt will discover new era
Thank you so much for the great post and good advice @exyle
Once scalable, it is worth investing and would apparently attract investors
Haven't checked it yet. Ought to check it now
You got a 25.00% upvote from @botcoin courtesy of @infoslink!
Wow great project the steem team has put forward. Will be looking out for how this project pans out.
Is the steem hunt token a fork of steem coin?
Its a nice idea steemhunt is awesome it will boost economic package already steeit doing lot of things to improve common peoply wealth ofcourse your video is very helpful to understand it properly with better options and clearly no doubt it an amazing effort
I'm interested in this SMT
Great!!
thank you very much, for not knowing English, the literal retelling of the video is very helpful!)
No doubt your work is always fantastic ..
Hello friend, excellent publication, I liked it a lot. Count on me, I invite you to visit my profile and count on you too, Regards
Hello friend. Shit comment. Count on me to tell you when you leave a shit comment. I invite you to leave comments relevant to the post and count on you to stop spamming.
That's ver interesting!!!
hi @exyle Big congrats for the success.
SMTs are already getting a lot of funding and they are not even out yet :)
The idea is good, there is no doubt about it, and the prove is the amount of people who are interested in investing under this conditions (100K is quite a big amount). But in my opinion I think it is still to early to opt for something like this, because steem token will grow a lot, which makes me think if that new project will be able to outpace the growth of steem.
100k? Impressive
What would be the minimum worthwhile investment?
The blockchain of opportunity...!!!! So so true man!
I'm fascinated by the Steemhunt initiative and will be looking into it more. Amazing number they raised so far and like you said, investors have no real risk because they can get their SP back at anytime..Such a smart idea to raise funds.
I still think STEEM priced at 3 bucks right now is a steal....And things like this and the news from the dev team too...Undervalued is an understatement lol
Yes @exyle, i think that is big funding and supporting platform as you say, for the steemians and now you make it more easy in understanding by publishing this video on Dtube, because some points i was not understand when i was reading the post about Steemhunt. but, after watching your video i really understand that what is this.

Nice one Dear buddy :) Thanks for sharing us
@upovte
that fluid, buddy
Your blog is always nice and very informative. Hope to back such kind of valuable blog.
Thank you for the steemhunt update. That is very impressive of the steemhunt team, they are doing an excellent job. I too am excited about what the future holds for them. All the best at your doctor's appointment- I don't know much about laser surgery but I think it would be really good if it will make you not need glasses and their subsequent upgrades :)
Amazing
