RE: Introducing @powerbot - a simple delegation service (Trial Run #1)
Thanks!
I feel ya on the price, but I'm glad you understand.
Being able to delegate to other users was an interesting feature. As I was building the bot, the idea came from a friend who powered down one of his accounts completely (was a mining account from back in the day), and he couldn't transfer the funds off of the account because it had no SP. So the thought was, if someone got stuck in that situation, would they pay 1 STEEM from another account for a temporary delegation, allowing them to withdraw those funds? Probably, 1 STEEM is a small price to pay rather than powering up again or finding a friend to delegate a small amount of SP.
I'm sure there's a lot of other uses for delegating to other accounts as well, I just haven't had a chance to make a list hah.
Yeah that is an interesting case for sure, 1 steem is a small price to pay as opposed to powering up and then having to wait 13 weeks to get that back. Plus the delegation to others service will be great for people who are looking to give others a boost. I could even see this being used as a reward for competitions and things like that.
