Right now I haven't had a chance to think about how delegators could be rewarded in the future.

I'm not all that keen on the "SPs for vote" approach (though I must admit I did delegate to @steem-ua) and so I'm not sure that this is the direction that I would like to take.

To be honest at the moment I'm hoping to get the attention of other Steemians who believe that there is a positive future in such project and that it will benefit the STEM community.

Please don't hesitate to share your thoughts as to how you would like delegated SPs to be used and rewarded.

All constructive input is welcome!

I share that sentiment.

The SteemSTEM account does earn a fair share of curation rewards (since many are doing automated "vote trailing", and because others are following SteemSTEM and giving votes to awesome content). This is paid back to delegators in steem, ordinary transfers. That's a fair way to do it, IMO.

Yes, I think the steemstem model is a fair.
I haven't really worked out the logistics of applying this model but I can definitely ask guidance from the steemstem team.

Of course, StemQ is far from having anything resembling steemstem voting trail as of yet, so it's hard for me to be able to tell you what the return to SP delegators would be.

I'll investigate further the above and come back to you through a new post or comment.

Thanks for your time and feedback.

Cheers,

Very insignificant, but with potensial to grow :-)
