RE: Its time for STINC to actually support communities on this platform.
Great idea, but where do you draw the line on which countries get delegation? Nigeria, Malaysia, India, South Africa all have communities trying to grow, and some are growing very fast while others are struggling. Perhaps delegating to the struggling ones would have a bigger impact on growth?
Delegating to something is also an endorsement of that community, so it potentially opens up a very political and subjective can of worms. I suspect that is one reason there are no delegations from those big accounts.
Certainly good points.
But in the same vein, the big accounts are endorsing reward hogging individuals whom generally (not all of course) look after themselves rather than the greater good.
And of course, all those other countries.
It may be the case that the delegator requires a level of "professionalism" within the group, a code of conduct to ensure quality is rewarded for fear of loosing delegation.
Having someone listen and be prepared to discuss is the main goal here.
Very true, and discussion is the first step. It would be nice to see some more big players fostering growth throughout the whole community ecosystem. There will have to be some sort of code of conduct and due diligence to do to make it work.
There is also the aspect of delegating away your influence. I'm not sure how it works with Witness votes, but by delegating too much away, and having very little "net" vests left with which to vote could be a disincentive for those big accounts to delegate (unless your "native SP" is what counts for those votes - which I think is the way it should work for Witness Votes - perhaps it already does??).
Why even draw the line? So many need help and yeh I reckon the smaller ones really struggling could use a fair chunk more than others.
I see the can of worms. I didn't actually think of it to be honest. Yes I suppose it could get tricky and we could end up supporting something we don't agree with in the end.
But surely, after some time, certain communities would have proven themselves to be worthy of the boost they need to grow that community further. Delegations can also be removed and I'm sure if stipulations were made considering said delegation, depending on what it is, parties can come to some sort of agreement.
Just knowing they are aware of the struggle we are having in growing our communities and are willing to negotiate will go a long way.
There would have to be some boundaries to keep things in order, and that may vary from person to person.
Seeing more outward-looking and growth fostering big accounts would go a long way to helping the whole ecosystem develop, that's for sure.
There would also obviously be limits to which the big accounts would delegate so as not to lose their own influence on the rest of the platform too.
Yup. Numbers need to be crunched. Even if the delegation was limited time only and it moved on to the next community after say 6 months, that is still an alternative to big fat nothing.
