Yep - I've "locked" some amount of @tipU SP so reinvest can be supported but invests are being rejected.

I've come to a conclusion that's it a bit unfair that users who lock their funds in STEEM POWER and delegate to @tipU receive the same profit as those who just send funds to @tipU as investment and can take it back any time they want.

I'm thinking about either limiting invest option, making it less profitable than delegating or ditching it out so reinvest can be supported for as long as possible.

Looking forward to your opinion :) I will be probably making post about it with question to delegators/investors in what direction the "invest" option should go. In the same time I'm supper happy how the reinvest option is working so I'm not changing it in any way :)

Ah! Well that's a mild bummer. I was enjoying following the dip of steem with stable SBD. Knowing that I'd be able to lock in the best possible rates without having to worry about steem sinking further. But I'm glad you finally took my advice! Now to decide if this is the price to buy steem at or if it'll go even lower. Or... Will some of it be available again for liquid investment soon?

Will some of it be available again for liquid investment soon?

That depends if any other investor will refund and free up some @tipu SP :)

By the way, my proposition for now - make investments twice less profitable than delegations. So for example if you send 2 STEEM as investment, it's treated as 1 SP delegation. Of course upon refunding you still receive 2 STEEM back.

By this @tipU would be able to support more investments, investors would still receive profit but delegators would still earn more. What do you think?

Hm. Hard to say. Yeah? I would certainly never invest steem. If I have steem, I'm either powering up and delegating or buying SBI shares. It's only SBD I want to "invest" because I want a little cushion against the volatility of STEEM, but I want to do something with it while it's otherwise just sitting around.

Alternatively, you could create an artificial length of time for the investment to be returned (or to start earning the interest). Like, opposite of delegation timeline. So, when I "invest", I don't get payouts on that value until it's been invested for a week. Oh! I like that idea as an alternative way of making it fair. That way, with delegation you have to wait a week at the end to get it back, but you're investing immediately, and with liquid, you have to wait a week for the investment to go through, but you get it out immediately. What do you think of that?

Oh, and, if I try to make an investment, and an amount of SP less than the invest amount is available? Would I get just the difference refunded, or would it chuck the whole thing?

Also, is there a way to check if it's accepting investments, or must I simply try each time?

Currently try each time. I could try to add it to the profile description but it could be confusing for new service users. I'll see if I can fit it nicely.

And thanks for the ideas about invest.

So, just tried and no bounce back, yay... but also no confirmation of investment value. It's only been 10 minutes, but also, it's already been ten minutes, and it usually works faster than that.

Edit: Just got confirmation. YESSS!

Hah, you have used like the last "free" @tipU SP for now but don't worry, it's slowly growing anyway.

Also in the upcoming days I will probably introduce the change where "invest" gives 50% profit of a normal delegations so investing should be open again. Probably this change won't work backwards so current invests won't be affected.

Whew! I'll be sure never to withdraw. Will it apply to reinvest, though?
