I have a few questions. You’ve put a lot of your own funds toward the bid bot, will you continue to do so? I’m looking to hear if you are planning on diversifying your support? Will you delegate/donate, to other people or projects, or grow your own projects?
I currently owe 40K STEEM/month for my Steem Power leases, I am going to have to continue to put almost all my money towards paying this reoccuring bill. I depend on all the incoming bids to make rent.
I also have a new community project I am working on that will take a lot of the Steem Power I own. As a witness I make around 280 STEEM Power/month which is locked up and unable to be used to pay for the hardware I run or the rent I owe. I have never powered down.
That doesn't leave me much to delegate or donate. I can donate small amounts here and there, but I am not a whale, I am a minnow myself. I just hit the 2,000 Steem Power milestone this week. As I grow, I hope to have more resources to use on other projects.
Where do you see yourself in the long run with steemit, 5 years from now let’s say? What’s your goal, vision?
I am hoping a platform where spam is the minority and not the current majority of content on the platform. Right now I see that as one of the largest hurdles to future growth. I hope in the future I can play a bigger role in preventing it or from the other angle encouraging quality content. This is the biggest frustration I have as well as those I introduce to the platform. The inability for minnows to get exposure and reward is a close second.
What could MSP/pal be doing better or differently?
From what I see, they are doing a good job. I love MSP Waves and how popular the shows are in the community. I am looking at starting my own podcast/radio show with a friend of mine. Giving minnows a reason to stay on the platform I believe is critical to the survival of the platform.
always with you@themarkymark
