FullTimeGeek Delegates Some of His Precious Steem Power
With much Steem Power, comes much responsibility. In this blog I summarize some of the delegations I've done recently. Hopefully, this helps minnows learn what us "whales" like to see on Steemit.
I have delegated 15K SP to @openmic for the cause of supporting musicians.
I have delegated 15K SP to @MarkWhittam (who I couldn't remember in the video ... sorry Mark ...) for his great cause of evangelizing Steemit all throughout Europe and for his @familyprotection project.
I have delegated 30K SP to @littleboy because he is not shy to speak his mind and moderate the blockchain. Not sure who he is, but he seems to be some blockchain detective that finds plaigarized work and spammy comments.
Last but not least! ... I have delegated 15K to Mr. @defango! There are just too many good things to say about him so I'll just let you go to his blog and figure it out for yourself.
Well ... hopefully this short blog and video helps all of you know my thought process as to why I selected the Steemians I did for my delegations.
@fulltimegeek you've been bringing new voices to steemit since before I joined. You really are an unsung hero of the platform. Great to see this level of generosity!
Bless
@v4vapid ... We're gonna hug it out if we ever meet up. Thanks for the love and support!

right back at ch'u!
congratulations to those that received delegations too, well deserved :)
I could not have said it better my self man. He is one of a kind.
Takes one to know one :)
:)
Awww... SEE! THIS is why I keep coming back to this place.
Cooperative community!
Thank you @fulltimegeek! SteemON @v4vapid!
Didn't know you had a YouTube channel. I just became your 339th subscriber. I'm not sure I understand the delegate of steem power or how one becomes a "whale." Actually....I am sure. I have no idea what the heck is going on here. I think I'm just smart enough to press the upload, reply and post button. Hhaha. Steem on. Peace!
P.S. Is it acceptable here to upvote one's own content?
If it isn't the legendary @highimpactflix! Thanks man for the comment drop and watching my vlog. I actually mentioned your comment on my most recent video. I attempted to explain the concept of delegation and hopefully it makes sense.
I usually always up-vote my blogs but not comments. I don't make too many blogs so it evens out.
You da man!
Haha...don't know about legendary. Thanks for the reply. I really like the Steemit platform but I wish they would work the bugs out of Dtube and make it more consistently reliable. I feel the days for my channel on YouTube are numbered with one community guidelines strike against me, and I'd really like to use this as my main go-to censorship-free social media platform. Much peace, my friend.
If you are still having issues uploading to DTube or getting the playback to work, definitely check out the following blog by @mrwalt ... It seems to help if the videos are compressed before uploading:
How To Compress Your Videos Fast If You Have Issues Uploading Them To DTube
If you're already doing that ... then idk what could be the problem ...
Thank you for all the awesome content. Peace to you as well!
Thanks man. There is no problem uploading. In fact...uploading goes surprisingly fast. The problem is that when I link my Steemit blog to any social media platform (twitter, facebook, etc) when the people bring up the blog post, they can't play the video if it is a dtube link. The have no problems playing a YouTube link.
Also, I've gone the compression route, and honestly, to have to go through another step takes up more time than I'm willing to spend. And if I'm like that, I can only imagine it would discourage others as well. Your thoughts?
I do agree the process involves too many steps and will deter new users. Hopefully though, it improves with time or another developer makes an alternative to DTube. It is just one of many websites to come because people will continue developing on top of the STEEM blockchain.
But, on another note, since you're so engaging I have also delegated 5k SP to you. Congrats :)
Oh my gosh! Thank you....but I don't understand the 5k SP...can you give me a brief summary of what that means?
Also, lemme just say, that, as I communicate with you and those like you, on this platform, I feel this sense of genuine camaraderie. With the veil of censorship lifted on outlets like this, it's like this whole new, unhindered, world opens up to us. And THAT is exciting.
Thanks again for the delegation....whenever ya get a chance lemme know what it means and how I use it. Peace bro!
I briefly explain delegation starting at about the 3:15 mark in the following video:
haha, I share your excitement brother. I'm sure this platform/blockchain will change the world (for the better).
Forgot to say....I agree with ya. I have no doubt that the people at Dtube are working hard behind the scenes to make it the best platform it can be. Things like that take time and I'm sure there are some frustrations they have to work through to get it where it needs to be.
Fyi, this was the man that brought me to Steem from a YT vid a couple years ago which I promise I will do what I can to make better.
I think we are off to a good start. We just need to tightom down and secure rewards to curators and we will be in a much better state.
Thank you for helping so many people @fulltimegeek! I wish there were more whales like you. You are one of the few who actually do manual curating.
As an ocd curator I see so many newcomers who deserve some extra rewards for their articles. One of the most important things for this platform now is to have people who bring value rewarded in the hope that will also invest in this platform.
At the moment there is a #promo-steem movement going on, initiated by @starkerz and @stephenkendal. This movement is about getting steemit to the masses by setting up a reward system for Steemians who are promoting steemit. Here is their latest conversation with Andrarchy
And this is their proposal. https://steemit.com/promo-steem/@starkerz/promo-steem-an-initial-proposal-for-the-next-step
I am appointed to set up a curation guild. Which I have been working on this week. I have created a community of promoters and newcomers, which I will make public hopefully next week.
I think this will be helpful to the community and that is why I invite you to give some votes to the the new authors in the community. If you don't have the time I could set up a new account which will only vote for quality promotion articles and new articles made by the community. Or if you could somehow spare some delegation that would be much appreciated, we don't need the curation rewards for it, it could be send back to you.
I hope you read this and thank you for what you are doing for this community.
Thanks for the Support Mang! I'm going to use it wisely!
Wow!
I feel honored to be on that list and I can't thank you enough.
Nice video,
I had the honor of meeting @luzcypher at steemfest, what a great guy!
Hahaha! "Wait a minute, what happened to the other 15k?"
Great to put a face to the name and it feels good your watching over our community :)
Thanks again @fulltimegeek
I've only heard good things about steemfest and will have to go to the next one. Glad to see steemians build friendships and connections. That is what social networking is about.
Been waiting for your vlog since the last one! Should do more! I'm still looking to delegate, but rather just vote on content / accounts and get it passed down the line over time!
Thanks man for the support.
I'm pretty much on the same page as you ... I'm not really a vlogger but am trying to get in the groove and do it more often.
Just got a new phone that can handle those funky AR face apps, I think that's mighty useful for newbie vloggers. Might just try it soon!
Edit: useful for camera-shyness as well!
That's an awesome idea. Make it so!
that's your kindness brother, you are a great man with a kind heart!! hope to see more rich guys who spend their money in the good way!
peace and love!!
this comment is not for upvoting me or checking me I just wanted to let you know that I really meant my words and I didn't say them as an spammer :)))
