After re-reading the post that I wrote yesterday, I realized that I missed a pretty big opportunity to explain WHY everyone, should delegate at least 25SP to the project.
So I decided to sit down and make the case for why, without question, it's in everyone's best interest to do so. Just before I forget, here are the quick links to delegate to the steem-ua project:
Get Upvoted by @Steem-UA
Steem-UA is a curation service that uses the User Authority algorithm to upvote content. In order to receive an upvote from them, you must register to it through a delegation of at least 25 SteemPower.
The promise of UA is that it is good at recognizing authentic writers and quality content...but in order to prove it, it needs to have the maximum of user registered to it.
Once you are registered, you will get an upvote based on your UA Score(find yours here). The higher your score, the higher the upvote you will receive. The amount of SP that you delegate doesn't impact the percentage of the upvote you will receive, only how many times per week it will upvote your content.
| SP Delegation | Sponsor Benefits & Upvote Frequency |
|---|---|
| 25 SP | max. 1 @steem-ua upvote per week |
| 50 SP | max. 2 @steem-ua upvotes per week |
| 100 SP | max. 4 @steem-ua upvotes per week |
| 250 SP | max. 7 @steem-ua upvotes per week |
| >= 5,000 SP | Stake-Based Sponsor Rewards + max. 7 @steem-ua upvotes per week |
How to Increase Your UA
The first step is to delegate, the next is to increase your UA. UA is tough to game since it's much more than the raw amount of followers that you have...it's also WHO is following the people that follows you as well as a number of correction to prevent abuse by bots.
Your best bet to increase your UA is:
- Keep engaging with the community
- Create great content people want to follow
- Add value by creating some sort of community, app, events, etc.
- Run for witness
- Network on the steem.chat and the Steem-UA discord
- etc.
Good News
It seems that certain front-end such as @steempeak are considering the idea of using UA to generate a trending page that is not based on upvote $ alone. By using and engaging on these platforms you will get a better experience as well as better visibility if you are focusing on increasing your own UA. Follow @Steem-UA to know when these projects come into fruition.
Conclusion
I sure hope the whoever you are, you will consider delegating to @steem-ua, even if it's only 25SP. Not only you will get upvotes in return that might exceed your investment but you will also participate in something that might partially solve the issues that Steem faces.
First read a bit on this project the other day, and intended to delegate at least 250 SP to support its development. Going to do so now! I know relatively little about how the current @steem-ua algorithm is calculated: looking forward to becoming more educated in that area.
I do have my doubts when it comes to building a non-gameable reputation system, but anything is clearly better than the broken pay-to-win system we have presently. I find the idea of building Trending pages off of different parameters a great step forward in solving some of the dilemmas regarding spotlighting excellent content.
Edit: proof of 300 SP delegation is here. I'd encourage others to think about doing the same.
Please how do I do this?
Thanks for this @cryptoctopus...I really love what @steem-ua is doing but I didn't even know they were looking for delegation (must have missed that post). Just delegated 1k SP and will look to increase that over time.
Wow! That's awesome @yabapmatt! You are definitely one of those guys that I want to follow. I admire what you've done with SteemMonster and looking forward to see where this adventure will lead :-)
@cryptoctopus, what do you think the value of a 250 delegate to steem-ua will be? I want to delegate 250 sp.
I would say you have everything to win from this.
OK. Good @cryptoctopus.
I am impressed. Just did my upvote, resteem and delegation:
https://steemd.com/tx/02f13d62a8b12fe34af720e93bc96ef02a95d2b1
Will see how it goes.
I don't have much steem but in the last of this post you mentioned for the future of steem. For that I will delegate 25SP and request others to do so because steem has given us a lot and will work as our future maker. Thanks for introducing such steem projects.
Thanks for this clear explanation! I think I will delegate. Curious to see how this system unfolds. Loving using steempeak lately.

awesome :-)
Delegated: https://steemd.com/tx/9dac9c936ecdd282962ebc988db497736c437441
That's awesome man!
Just delegated some steem! Thanks for the heads up!
it is interesting when you say at least 25SP, it's like month of regular posting :D
it looks like an interesting concept, but not sure if it is a solution. the score depends on how many followers you have and if i got it right who is following you (how is their score, and that is an interesting part) but most of the high number of followers accounts are the accounts with high SP and most of the high SP accounts have big $ posts and are in trending. If you see smaller acc in trending that must be really good post or it is paid. so not really sure how much will the trending change.
Would like to see @steempeak do something like that, they are doing great job with the project till now so it has a potential to be good.
Maybe i should try to delegate 25.
And as i am really a noob in all this steem technical part, it could be that i misunderstood it all and completely wrong :D
you have to consider that the current high UA are what they are because of previous incentives. With new rules come new behaviours. Also, witnesses are obviously be the kind of people who have high UA...also other high UA accounts have been working really hard for a very long time.
Also, if someone were to write crap and be in the trending page through upvote bot, it won't translate into followers. If you do the same, but write stellar stuff...it will.
i missed this UA stuff all together, i am reading about it more right now. it looks that it could be an interesting system, and it could change the "trending" to be better.
For the last part, most of the time you are right. there is a part where people follow regularly high paid posters for the part of curation but it is probably not that high amount.
thanks for sharing this
and sorry for the gloom and doom attitude, i am a bit "steem down" this few days so it reflects :D
Thank you for explaining it clearly.
I just delegater 50 SP. 😊
I believe that @steem-ua will succeed to there platform and find more quality content here in @steemit. More Power!!!
I'm struggling to be a good blogger/writer.
Be patient with me.
I'm trying..
Sorry for the tears...
I have just delegated 50 SP.
So far as I knew and know, this is the best project to delegate SP.
Hoping for your success @steem-ua, @cryptoctopus and the rest of the team!
Cheers!
I guess I have to enjoy now!
nice, think i will eat some !popcorn
Thank you!
I love !popcorn
To be fair I do like the idea behind ua. I think that it's a far better indicator of status than the old ranking system. Having checked my own numbers and finding them a lot lower than expected it has only encouraged me to do a bit more. I've never bought massively from the bots so my rep is still only 58 but in terms of participation I think that my stats should be decent. If some of the new airdrops start taking ua into account then it can only be good news for the people who are really a part of the blockchain rather than just the users.

Delegating 25.
Love this. Hope it’s the fix we need
@steem-ua seems very interesting. I don't have a lot of Steempower but I will delegate 25 SP to them just to be part of this new Program.
I was going to wait to delegate but your post inspired me to do it faster :P
How much UA score do you need for 1 cent upvote?
Thanks @cryptoctopus for this project and delegation information. After reading your post, I have started with 100 Steem delegation and my best wishes for great success of this new project. Hope @steem-ua will find the way they want.
:)
I will delegate 5000sp to @steem-ua if I have, for now here's 250sp as the max that I can. Thanks for this 2nd post @cryptoctopus, this really convinced me to contribute to its development.
As a curator for the photography community, I believe that UA is beneficial. Browsing through the "trending" or "new" is painstaking.
My UA score is around half of yours now, but I'm geared to increase it overtime (thanks for the advise).
Hopefully UA will be in full implementation soon.
Below is the proof of my delegation :)🍻
Very true and thanks for the delegation
Excellent project - I just delegated 100SP. This is just one of the many innovations that are coming out now to make STEEM rock again!
I'm glad you did! Let's rock this town!
Thanks for the information, This sounds like a great idea.
I just used your link to delegate and try it out!
I can't wait until there are some tutorials on how to better your rep in this new grading scheme
This is cool bro. almost all can delegate 25SP and try how it will really works. If it is beneficial then maybe we can increase our delegation.
I just delegated a 100SP to @steem-ua. Thanks for encouraging us @cryptoctopus. :)
Hi @steem-ua, this looks like a great project. I have delegated 25SP and will tell others in the Vietnamese community! Hopefully this will mean better recognition for users who produce good content
Thank you for your links and explanation.
I am on board and ranking at 1400 ! Not too bad I guess.
If Steemians want to interact on Cryptocurrencies, follow me and let’s chat together.
Take care @cryptoctopus.
I am definitely signing up. Hope to earn more. Thanks.
As always @cryptoctopus thanks for sharing this massive boost for ua.
Every one delegate at least 25 SP you wont regret it as OP stated.
Just delegated some juice to them .
I delegated 25 SP to try this out. I appreciate any efforts to clean up the quality and reduce the amount of bid bot usage and abuse on Steem.
Great idea! I'll try to delegate some SP soon!!
Thanks for the explanation on how and why we should use @steem-ua, @cryptoctopus.
Great news. I must try and see the difference.
Very interesting :)
There is a new trend in streemit where we are relying less on whales and more on the community projects for our daily upvotes. Small delegations to projects that focuses on minnows and help the masses. Power in numbers. @steem-ua just took it all to the next level! Excited to see where this goes!
The only thing that's holding me back from full support is that, if I understand everything correctly, while engagement is encouraged, comments are not part of the algorithm. I personally would hold someone who engages every day users with valuable comments in higher regard than someone who intermingles with whales. With that said, I understand that I may not have all the information and/or the understanding of how difficult that might be to integrate into the algorithm. In any case, any improvement on the current system is welcomed, in my mind.
For those interested in how the current system works, feel free to check out this post as well as the steem.center wiki article here.
Hey thanks for sharing your thouhts. Ive been reading many posts supporting this project and want to participate as well. But having problems with steemconnect, they dont recognize my name :(
Brother this great compain and very best of luck keep supporting evey one.
Hello @cryptoctopus I don't have enough steem power to delegate but I have total 3 steemit accounts and the total steem power I have in my 3 account is that :- 20sp+26sp+41sp=87sp
What I can do

This could be a major boost to the STEEM blockchain.
