I have some ideas, but basically - it should be 10 people.
Then all you need is enough delegated SP for a voting account to give 10 1STU votes per day (1 every 2.4 hours for max power). The extra can go to the manager or even to help pay for the delegated SP to run the program.
SBD won't work right now, there is no print rate. Just plan on doing steem for now, that way market price won't change any of the math.
These are some new angles! I have gotten ,ore from a couple more people. Let me try merge them all up, and see how to carry forward and implement the idea. Thanks for this valuable recommendations.
