My Master Plan To Delegate 4,500 Steem Power Amongst My Supporters: Yay Or Nay?

Attempting To Push Boundaries

Months ago many of you responded to my Creating A Force Field Of Reciprocity post where I was asking for ideas to further The Art of Reciprocity. My mind has been churning for months now about those ideas and what I could do to further the cause. Enter my master plan for continuing to empower people to live, give, and grow. I hope this will not disappoint.

I will be delegating roughly 4,500 SP amongst my strongest supporters in hopes that we continue to become better creators and continue to support those around us.


There are some details I want you to be aware of at this point in time. I have also decided to delegate all of my SP in different proportions to different things. Here's what this means. 

  • I will still curate content but my VP value will not be worth much of anything
  • Your comments will receive little to no payouts (I must admit this one sucks the most for me)
  • My passion to give and support others in various ways has not gone anywhere, in fact the fire is rising
  • I will now take the VP out of my hands and give it to you my fellow steemians 

How will the 4,500 SP be delegated? 


Here's the good stuff + the details of how this will work. Hopefully this idea will catch wildfire. 

  • Roughly 20 people from my list of 43 people will be drawn at random to receive delegations for an entire month
  • I will run the drawing every 2 months to decide who wins the delegations
  • Whoever doesn't win during the drawing will automatically take part in receiving delegations the following month


*BONUS INFO*

My signature upvote airdrops (due to the fact that my VP will be worth little to nothing) will simply evolve into something like a "Creative Shoutout", "!!Blog Blast!!", or something along those lines. I have not figure out a name for it yet but it will basically be similar to how I compile posts after an upvote airdrop but hopefully much more epic.  I want to do this because it means alot to me to be able to promote other peoples work. I believe this will be a major deal for creators. There will me more details about this idea in a later post.

 

I know these are huge changes. As you know I'm the type to experiment and figure out how to make things better. This is not some permanent plan per se but I will definitely try to stick with these ideas in the near future just to try to see how they work out. Thanks for the continual patience and priceless support. Please share your thoughts, concerns, or joy in the comment section. Peace to everybody.

@humanearl,
I don't think this is a good idea! Actually I like the idea! If I am in your supporter list this might be a good news! But when I see things from your view, this might be a bad move!
Keep it, make more STEEM, you can make a good and decent income for your future!

Cheers~

Oh its not bad for me. Im glad to delegate. Haha I like your joke and I have enough steem.When you delegate to others you still keep your SP its more like a loan.

You're changing the game Earl, you've inspired me to up my Steemit game. I'd love to know your opinion on my new post format, check it out if you have some free time man, appreciate it :D

I'll be headed your way for sure man. Thanks for the comment

Appreciate it earl, Thanks man :D

It's a big Yay for me bro @humanearl. This is an amazing plan you have got and it gives me so much joy to know how selfless you are. We need more people like you on this platform. So let it kick off.

Honestly I had no clue how people would recieve the news. Feel relieved. Most have said yes to this idea so it's a go.

Disagree? How will I? This is a great idea and it's called self sacrifice. Only God will bless you for this act of generousity. Thanks a lot @humanearl.

Man thanks. I'm happy people have taken this news well.

Yyyyayayayyayayayaya!!!!!!!!

@humanearl, where did you spring from man?? You are so so different.. This is really wonderful.

If every one could think like you then maybe steemit would be a lovely place for minnows.

For me, I love the initiative but I also wouldnt want your voting power to go down too. Why I said is because you said you wanna delegate all your sp soon...

All Im saying is the Idea is great but you gotta know how to do it so that it will help either parties..

Thanks for this opportunity great man. @humanearl.. You are so unique!

I think this is a good idea bro, some, if not many of us here solely depend on the little Steem Power(SP) we earn from our little posts and comments payouts which accumulates bit by bit. You coming up with the idea of SP delegation would go along way to impact the community- uplifting one another. The benefits of supporting one another spreads quickly when the support-work is done by many than a person.
I say yay to this.

Great words. My hope is to give power to the community and not just me holding it all to myself.

Much love to you brother.

This idea is great! I hope that the fact of not speaking English is not an impediment to participate, I believe that a delegation would help to support the content of those people who put all their effort to excel with content in Spanish, I will be looking forward to participate a yay! that's why

You could have simply lease the Steempower to some bot and receive ROI, but you decided to use it to support and promote the community. That shows how much community oriented you are over profit and that is what we need to keep the platform from collapsing. I want to ask, they you have plans to ensure that the recipients use their delegated power to help the community in some bits. Maybe you can ask that certain limits on self votes be maintained so that this gift get to reach as many people as possible. To me, a little self votes is okay especially for plankton and minnows but when someone goes over 50%, it no longer benefit the rest of the community.

Honestly I have also invested some SP. Mainly since I wll no longer receive much in curation rewards. But most of my SP is delegated to the community.

Great idea to hold people accountable with their delegated SP. I will release another post prior to the drawing about the details of it.

Oh man. That's a very big heart ❤️. How can you do such thing?
I wish i can also do this someday aswell! making positive impact and helping minnows in any possible way I can

It's a YAY for me brother. 🙂

I know many of yall struggle so I'm just trying to help as much as possible

Yay or Nay????

YAAAAAAYYYYYY

Wow.... How come you have such a golden heart? Wow... Blessed are you boss. Keep shinning

Perfect! Glad you like the idea. I was nervous about people's response.

I would NAY NAY NAY, not a lot of people will use these delegations as well as you do, some might decide to use them selfishly.
so i still suggest you keep them and use it in the best way possible as you have always done.

I know what you mean. I will set some guidelines for the delegations. I respect your thoughts.

Honestly @humanearl it's ultimately your choice. I feel that you have given us a lot already. I will not say Yay or Nay on this one. It's your call and it also shows how committed you are to Steemit/Dtube and the entire #onelovedtube community. My hat's off to ya!

Thanks for understanding. I'm just thankful people have liked the idea

From what I k ow if you, you are constantly trying to encourage people. What better way to encourage someone than to entrust your SP to them. Keep up the good work

Trying to be a great steward my brother. Glad you liked the idea.

Bro you’re the steem giver. Most generous guy I know

Just trying to be a great steward with what has been given to me. Now let me keep eating my humble pie.

I absolutely love it! A HUGE YAY! This is why the STEEMIT COMMUNITY is so VERY GREAT! Because of people like @humanearl! So VERY kind and helpful! So VERY generous! Positive Energy! Great Karma! All the VERY best! Your Friend @extraterrestrial :)

Wow. Great and humbling comment. Thanks for the love and positive vibes

One great idea from a liberal soul, is it a Yay or Nay for me. Sorry i would like to be a double-edge sword here.

Yay, it will help struggle planktons and minnows and the second thought Nay some that got the delegation might wanna abuse it.

My advise will be that, a guidelines should be place as per how it will be used for whosoever got the delegation, so that it will represent what the art of reciprocity stand for.

My take on this finally is

Yay

👍👍👍

At first bro I was like uh oh a double edge sword. But now I see. Great idea about setting some guidelines on the delegations.

wow..this is unbelieveable. wow.
but one life principle is give to as many, what they want and you will get all that you want.
but this is far beyond business. you truly have a rare kind of heart. and i salute your confidence and passion.

Man thanks a bunch. I just wanna empower people. I was hoping people liked the idea.

I think this is a great idea and this will surely help everyone in achieving more.

I personally think this will help as we also have projects which we would like to help others too such as #insta-bus.

Thanks for this initiative @humanearl

Thanks for that. Whats insta bus?

Its a project also for helping steemians in building and promoting quality content from good content creators.. And your initiative will definitely help its cause.

@humanearl what a nice thing to do! I'm not one of your followers but your title was a real clickbait :)
I have no intension tho claim a portion of the SP pool you are delegating for free! That would just be false!
I do want to give you some advice! If do have some free SP delegation and I am glad that the ones who do delegate this power to me, check once in a while if I'm using it like a good Steemian! It also possible that during the delegation one of the receivers become passive on the Steem blockchain, in that case it is just a waste, for sure for you.
So, yep a great thing to do, but check once in a while to they are using the power given to them as a good Steemian!
Keep it going!

Very good idea. I plan on setting a few guidelines for the delegations and yes I will oversee how the SP is being used. Thanks for the comment

You are welcome! If would be a shame to give to a great gift to see that people aren’t using it!

When there is a good cause how can someone disagree?
He must be either greedy or scam...
This is a very nice gesture @humanearl.
I wish good luck to everyone and i hope that the winners will support minnows and their efforts just as you do
God bless you

I hope so too. Thanks!

Instead of delegating

Choose some of your followers who post good content and upvote them for a week or smthing

I think that would be a good idea too but the people have spoken. So far its a YAY for delegations. But I do appreciate your thoughts

Oh btw it's a YAY from me aswell ^^

For me... Its a big fat YAAAAAAAAYYYYYY... 💃💃💃💃💃

A lot of minnows are struggling so hard with the issue of low sp... Delegating to then wud do a lot of good and this just goes to show how selfless you are. Looking forward to it already. Lol

And yes, thanks in anticipation...

Yepp. I know how hard it is for minnows. At first I was nervous about how people would respond to the idea. Glad I put the idea out now

Hmmm... Aren't we all glad..

Its a really warm and welcomed idea....

That is indeed a generous act of yours .

Your words all alone makes one to go ahead and chase the dream out in here and in the real life !

While these sure will allow some to get some help that the few that you have chosen :)

Right! People should be empowered to chase their dreams. Especially on steemit

that's a Yay idea for sure will help the creative content creators a lot :)

Pheewww. Im so relieved yall have really liked the idea. I will release another post at a later time about the details. Thank you very much

I think it is a good idea. Many here do not have enough motivation to start acting, and you provide it. Thank you for that. You are a very generous person. So of course, yes, it's just a great idea.

Other people agree too so the plan is on. Thanks

In my opinion this is a great idea. This can be called a new level in the art of reciprocity. Those users who will receive SP will also have the opportunity to become an active member of the art of reciprocity. It's a great system.

It will be interesting for me to observe how the participants will use the power of voice. This is a good way to identify people with good intentions.

I support your initiative.

Thanks for your support on this idea. Yes this is another level. Also Im gonna oversee how the SP is used.

Hey bro! I'm back on. Took longer than I expected, but it made my day yesterday to acquire another device to service my yearn for steemit. I missed your posts loads, and I'm glad you're choosing to do this. It takes a big heart. You reactivate my inspiration everytime you reach out like this, the world needs to visit steemit to realize how gifted it is, lots of good people in here. I missed this. I missed everything.

No worries. Good for you on getting a good gadget to help you keep creating. Along with you many others have expressed they like the idea.

Yeah. It spells sacrifice. You're a good man.

The person who have had coined phrase "out of the box" thinking must be really proud of you if he knew it anyway.
That's a brilliant idea to support people on practical grounds. That's even fairer to give everyone a chance, who has supported, to further the art of reciprocity.
Although you would be having little SP with you but delegation is really a selfless and kind thing.
You always have some new brilliant things to disseminate. Good luck for this project also.

That was my mindset to give everybody a chance to get it. On one hand it suck cuz my upvote wont be worth anything but Im more than ok with it.

Hey @humanearl, what more can I say, you're a true benevolent force on Steemit man! I wish more influential Steemians out there would step up and follow your example. Thank you for everything you've been doing!

Stay blessed!

Naw man its people like you that continue to make it fun to be here, be a creator, and to wanna see other creators prosper.

Your kind words are more than appreciated and mean a lot to me! Stay awesome!

That is an incredibly kind plan you have. You need to do what is right for you and your family, while following your heart.

True that. That's the plan.

wow!
This is huge. Who would say no to this?!!!

Most won;t although some just worry if the delgations will be abused. I have no worries though. I'll oversee things to encourage people to take care of what is given.

That would be very kind of you.
And it's a YES for me!

I’m still learning about delegation and SP but I see the benefeits and sacrifice so let me vote you and send you some respect.
Thanks!

While delegating 4500 SP will be a good idea but delegating all of your SP will be a very bad and worst decision.

If you wish to be inactive then its okay..else its not going to look good.

The art of reciprocity is in deed good but with your SP with you, you can deliver this art in a much better way and believe me your SP is your real force filed.

So please try to take this in a practical way.

What do you mean it's not going to look good?

I can only upvote so many people at a time so I figured why not allow others to benefit from my SP by delegating it to them.

I sometimes find it hard to believe that good people still exist but meeting you here on steemit, I had a different perception entirely

There are some details I want you to be aware of at this point in time. I have also decided to delegate all of my SP in different proportions to different things. Here's what this means.

Y.O.L.O you deserve to love more than once.

I'm no good man just a servant trying to empower others. But thanks for the thought and always being supportive
