Hey @flipstar, this is a really good initiative. I would love to be considered to receive a boost on my SP for the following reasons:
- I try to produce content of a reasonable to good quality regularly, and am making the effort to improve as I go. I don't always get it right, but I'm trying real hard. My latest post is here.
- I almost never upvote myself (0.7% - I accidentally did the other day, and removed the vote), and certainly don't upvote my own comments. I would rather spend my VP on upvoting the great work of others, and earn curation rewards instead. You can view my voting stats here.
- My account is small. I have 221 SP, and have delegated 185 of it away to community bots to help them grow their communities. I have fortunately recently received some delegation from some generous friends, which allows me the use of the slider to give more Steemians a decent upvote on their great content, but this delegation is also temporary.
- I am currently using my SBD rewards to fund my @stsl (Share The Steem Love) community project bot, by leasing Steem Power to hive him a boost alongside his generous delegators (thank you!) to help him run competitions, and upvote close to 100 posts per day on average. I therefore currently rely solely on the SP rewards from my posts to increase my personal Steem Power balance.
- I would love to be able to hang onto the slider for a while longer, to increase my ability to curate more posts, and still give out a respectable value upvote in the process.
Thanks again for you support, and helping others with this great initiative!!
I will check out your stuff
On a side note, I think it is totally fine to upvote your own posts though :-)
Thanks for the reply :) I suppose the it's a matter of personal choice. If you're upvoting your own posts with your own SP then maybe it's okay, but not with SP delegated to you. To me it just doesn't feel right. And self voting comments to me is a big no. I think that debate will go on forever.... maybe I'll change my mind one day...
