They are. More demand for SP than investors, unfortunately. I already am leasing 7000 SP and am dumping those payments directly into sponsoring SBI shares. It's just not enough, yet.

There would still be an equilibrium price where all demand is met by supply, but we try to ease into it instead of spiking the prices unnecessarily.

Just filled a lease for sbi6. I believe the estimated returns are the same but from a sustainability standpoint is it better to fill leases or to delegate directly to steembasicincome.

It's not really an 'issue' per se, because it only impacts the experience of 23 people.

We have just increased the deleqation quantity we are ordering each day, and will continue until VP stabilizes on an increasing curve again.

Direct delegation is slightly better for us because we don't have to pay dlease's 10% fees that way, but for high SP members like @samuel-swinton, leasing through dlease is better because if he leased directly his vote size would be impacted whenever our VP gets low.

As one of the 23 people I disagree about it not being an issue 😋

While VP is low it is also better that I lease because I'm not using any VP in doing so. If I delegated, I would need to post more to get the reward, putting more of a strain on the VP.

Nonetheless those fees are an issue. Are you still offering to convert SBI balance directly to SBI shares, @sbi-booster? If so, I'd be willing to switch back to delegating in order to save on fees while keeping my VP impact low.

Pending balance conversions are still available. Going to process another batch of them first thing tomorrow morning, actually.
