What we have here is something that I have been thinking about for over a month. Unfortunately, I tend to overthink things and never do them. So... I'm just gonna do it even though it may be half-assed and not exactly what I want :-0
What I've been thinking about is ways to incentivize people to power-up and hold STEEM. I have a lot of grandiose plans for a total system for this, but can't seem to get past the planning. What I'm gonna do instead of getting everything all set ahead of time is just start with a less than satisfactory (to me) giveaway and build all of my grandiose ideas later :-) It may be rough, but I'm gonna make it work.
A short thanks to @streetstyle. I have been thinking about this for a while, but your post on #SPUD #steempowerupday really gave me the push to just go ahead with my giveaway idea! It may not be much at first, but I plan on making it a recurring thing (probably weekly on sundays). Thanks for the push even though you had no idea. Hope I'm not stepping on your toes!
What You Do:
- Power Up some STEEM after this is posted - any amount will do
- Comment on this post - I've got skin in the game! Just copy/paste that phrase to ensure validity.
- Resteem if possible. Not mandatory, but I don't have many followers and would like as many people involved as possible.
- Upvote if you like the idea. Also not mandatory but very helpful.
- Follow if you like for further info on future plans and giveaways. Once again not mandatory
What I Do:
- Confirm that you did indeed power up some STEEM at a time after this post.
- Send you 0.1 STEEM Power (SP). That's right SP. I want to encourage and ensure powering up, so I am going to send STEEM Power (SP). Force the vesting for you :-) After all, I am using my STEEM and not my SP to send you SP. Even if the amount you power up is less than I give. I am also putting skin in this game!
I realize I may be biting off more than I can chew, and future giveaways may not be this much. Or they may be more.
I also realize that his may not be safe or good for me or my powering up plans, but I'm gonna go with it for this week.
Payouts will be made for all commenters who followed directions. Some payments will be made before the post expires, but some may be after.
Only one payout will be made per account!
I do have more ideas for the future to encourage powering up, just wanted to get some momentum and get started. If too many people respond, I will have to find a way to make it right, but I will. So... Put some skin in the game!
This is good...I'm gonna resteem this post. I support you
Thank you very much for your support! I hope we can all make #SPUD a very good day by spreading the word and making it a movement for more than just a day ;-)
I've got skin in the game!
Just so happens that I power up at the end of every day.
Woohoo!!
Yes, you do indeed qualify! Enjoy your 0.1 SP!!
Feel free to tell anyone you know about this. Only lasts a few more days!

Will you pull this delegation back in the future?
No. This is not a delegation. What I did was transfer SP to your account. Basically converted 0.1 STEEM to 0.1 SP then transferred that SP to your account.
It is yours forever :-). When I transferred it, it became no longer mine. Since it is SP, that you own, it can be used and powered down the same as all your other SP.
Part of the reason I made the amounts small is because unlike delegation which costs me nothing, this actually cost me 0.1 STEEM. The reason I gave SP though is I wanted to increase the number of people powering up. By “forcing” the power up I get the result I wanted. :-0
If you want to check, go to Steemworld
Click on my delegation tab, then click on outgoing and you will see I have no outgoing delegation to your account. Or go to your account there and click on delegation/incoming and you will see no delegation from me.
Pretty neat hunh? I didn’t know one could do this until recently. Did it all through steemworld. That place is awesome!
Enjoy that small SP forever if you so choose!
TLDR:
I cannot retract it. It is yours!
oh that’s cool, thanks!
No problem! Your welcome!
Spread the word to whoever you like. This one ends when the 7 days are up (very soon).
There will be another shortly though:-)
Well this is a fun idea and PIFC supported with a resteem and 100% upvote. Hope that you get some traction with this one!
Woohooo!! Thanks for the boost!!
Hopefully I will keep this going in some form or fashion for good. The giveaways may change, but I will continue to do something to encourage skin in the game for small and big accounts alike :-)
This is a great idea and initiative... and no worries on my part, you are Team Steem then you good with me. And yes, when you make your next post regarding, let me know or tag me... thanks for the support!! I will resteem this for my followers.

Awesome! SP is headed your way!
Thanks for your participation and support!
Let's roll LOL
Great idea! I hope it takes off! Resteeming and following. And yes I do have skin in the game! Give my .1 STEEM to a deserving plankton please. Cheers
Haha! Thanks for the support!
Since you are the first person even close to following the rules though (and thus deserving even if not a plankton) I am gonna give you SP anyway. Whether you like it or not :-) I'm feeling authoritarian today :-0
Enjoy your tiny prize! Don't worry. I will make sure no plankton that participates properly goes short. Even if I have to hock something:-)
Fine, be that way! :-) Don't worry, when word gets out you're giving away free stuff they will come running.

Well I hope they do!
My worry is that many may not because they actually have to comment and power up. I really do want to give away some SP :-) Its burning a hole in my pocket!
