"Matter of fact, as I witness I am voting for a 12% interest rate. A higher interst rate will invite new investors and brain power to Hive."

I'm also voting for 12% for the same reasons.

"Considering that, I am willing to delegate my Hive Power to Ecency to get those sweet curation rewards"

The same reason why I did the same weeks ago. Right now I am also accumulating Ecency points to exchange them for publicity/upvotes.
