Thank you very much for your comment @shai-hulud. I appreciate it and you have also some good points I would have to take into consideration.
I would also definitely have a minimum personal sp requirement from the receivers
Would you have some minimum user level requirements or something like that? I mean, reputation score or whatever. I won't have a follower requirement or anything like that, because that wouldn't feel good at all.
Rep isn't really a great indicator I could name a few steemians with crazy high rep that are far from the model that I think you want to create.
I once saw a report on the stewards that broke down total comments and average comment lenght which I think is a good indicator of their community engagement.
Additionally if it where me making the choice I wouldn't judge to harshly those that self vote or use vote bots provided its not excessive sometimes that self vote is all the reward us little red fish get for the effort put in.
I know your busy but one option is to link the full 500 delegation to a mentorship system it mean more work for you but could provide them with valuable direction.
Btw my wife said my percentage of 25% was two low and that the deligation should represent a growth of total sp by at least 50% preferably 100% minimun.
This is awesome, I truly appreciate your replies. I haven't slept for more than 1,5 hours these last 30 hours so it might be because of that, or perhaps I'm just stupid... :D - But I don't understand what you mean by this:
However, I definitely agree with what you said regarding the reputation score.
sorry that was in relation to my suggestion re a max sp cap for the person you delegate to.
I was discussing it with my wife and she suggested that perhaps your delegation should represent a minimum 50% growth in total steem power preferably 100% growth.
eg there is not much point delegating 500sp to someone that holds 1000sp the larger you can feasibly make the growth in the receivers sp the greater their investment in its use.
Go get some sleep
Haha, thanks. I appreciate it. Just woke up and I'm feeling terrible actually. Worst headache in a long time. :S
That's a good point. I think I'll go with 2x250 or 5x100 SP delegations... And I think I'll try to delegate this to people I believe is "worthy" in the sense of what I feel they do, more than relying on reputation score or any other numbers actually.
However, one of the requirements will be that the person needs to be "active". Perhaps not 5 hours per day, but at least do something each day. I have already seen like 3 or 4 different people who actually might be "worthy" of the delegations and I haven't even started to look for anyone yet. :D
