If I undelegate I have a vote strength that is worth $0.02, if I'm lucky. That will generate me virtually nothing in HP so I can not grow my stake.
That is only true if you vote comments/posts that barely get past the threshold if at all. If you vote on posts that get past the threshold you'll still receive your fair share of curation rewards (even as little as .001 hp per vote).
I guess what @slobberchops is saying is that as a newcomer it's better to have some stake and delegate part of it out later on when you have more.
Saying that you'll get votes based on your delegation is also not amazing considering if everyone did that then they'd just get their daily voting power returned on a post without sharing it with anyone else. (not saying that's what pimp.token does (I don't know what they do really), but some do it like that which is frowned upon for proof of brain curation).
Perhaps that might be a better way forward I really don't know, there's so much to consider. I will get thinking some more. But thanks for the input.
You did respond to @acidyo's post saying 'who aren't getting the attention we deserve'.., I am letting you know why from my perspective, but that doesn't mean it's everyone's view.
Yes I responded to @acidyo based on your comments. I am considering reducing me delegation by half, because I can see both sides of the argument here. And yes I appreciate what you're saying and your perspective.
Where are you in the UK, there's not so many of us.
I'm in the Bristol area, whereabouts are you man?
A long way..., Manchester.
Almost decided on Manchester but opted for London instead for five and a half years. And that was five years too long.
By the way I don't know if you saw my message yesterday but I published a post and forgot to add @commentrewarder to the beneficiary despite pledging to use @commentrewarder on all my posts now, I didn't do it on purpose I promise!
