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!
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 :)))
#FullTimeAngel!!!!! xo
How may I help you?
Omg you didn't! HAHAAA you know very well what face I'm making !!! #LULZ!!!! Strikes again!!! :) :) :)
lol, I had a good laugh myself
hahaha :))) , it's like she came from another world as you call her LOL
^0^/ Team up time!? Mew mew mew
That is nice gesture from you, steemit needs more people like you. Congratulations to the recipients and thanks to you for giving. Remain awesome. Thanks.
That is very generous and very awesome of you! Words can't make justice to such act of generosity. I can't imagine how these guys feels right now.
Also it always a pleasure to see you on video! Take care @fulltimegeek and let us know more about that script whenever you feel like it!
My neighbor up north! Thanks for the comment drop and support. It's always a pleasure to see a comment from you. I will try to keep making vlogs and will surely open source my groovy script once it's ready.
Hell yea man good on you! Make your SP work. :)
@littleboy is good people.
So, you are the man behind the delegation of the precious precious steem POWER!
Thank you!
I didn't make it on your video, but thank you nonetheless. Watch me put this $$$ to some use around the block chain!
So much potential on Steemit we're definitely building momentum and have to keep supporting each other like this, awesome.
P.S. when's upstate ny steemfest?
Thank you!!!
It's steemfest everyday up here :) hahaha
Always making Boss Moves 💪🏼🙌🏼💯
Right on man, keep helping steem to be a great place ;)
You're always doing such great things for the community. I love @littleboy's detective work lately. I have been supporting him and following him because of you. Thanks FTG
Thats generousness and honesty and help to build the steemians community in one page is not an easy task by giving your own effort to the other. Hope there will be more the seed of your exist .. Thanks love to read your articles.
And I have been monitoring what you have been doing. ;)
Transparency is literally the best thing of steem.
It's a weight off my shoulders to be delegating my SP :)
Also, consider joining my chat: https://discord.gg/6frydN9
Transisto is already there.
That's awesome man, I was wondering if some of the whales ever do this to help encourage quality posts and content to build the community more. I'm not asking you for this but I'd love to link up with some bigger users to talk about delegating steempower in order to help me prove a point to my subscribers and thus causing a lot of new users, once their interest is peaked.
My youtube is http://www.youtube.com/beyondtheweak and I'm looking to start talking about Steemit to my viewers in roughly a month once I can show my earnings for a month :)
I also think a referal system or big whales coming together to reward users per person they refer into the system would cause a lot of new registrations.
Love to talk to you more about projects in the future!
(Raises another beer)
Keep STEEM N ON
Cheers!
Great job @fulltimegeek . Your commitment to help steemit user is commendable.
This is a good act. Steemit will be better than ever with such generosity.
Wow! That's amazing! It's great to actually see some people putting back into the community! It gives all us minnows hope!
STEEM ON!
Walkin' the WALK, AS USUAL!! I'd say walkin' the talk, but you don't even talk about what would make the Steem blockchain better, you just DO!!
Here is an example of amazing people giving back. You are doing great work!!
Good stuff! This platform needs whales to responsibly delegate some of their steem power to both balance out the imbalance and to support worthwhile projects.
(by the way, I'm a littleboy in the making... ;) )
Thank you very much!
I will try to follow your activity. Steem on!
Cheers mate!
I was trying to get hold of you on steemit.chat. Is that possible while you are in the mood of generosity? :) Thanks
I will try to jump on steemit chat later today and answer whichever question you may have. Take care :)
Awesome. Thank you.
Excellent initiative about your precious steem power. I am a curator both for spanish and english. And I like to promote 3 things that I love: Mathematics, Software Developing, and education about cryptocurrencies.
Please take me into account in a future if you wish delegate more precious power. Regards.
I wrote a response, deleted the response, wrote it again, deleted it again. Then I sat here for a bit, and this is as close as I can get to something coherent and appreciative.
Thanks for taking a chance on someone you don't know, and believing in the spirit and the process. I try my best to find those who are stuck 'in the middle' who've 'repped out' of minnow services but are still too new to really know what's up or make regular payouts. I try to find great content, kind people, and give them enough love to help them stay on the platform and be kinder to each other. You just supercharged that selflessly, so thank you, for as long as you've given me this kick in the ass for.
Then I ended up just choosing a gif that sums it all up instead.
What a refreshing post! Good to see this kind of effort going into making Steemit a better place. I'll have to go check out a couple of the people listed that I'm not already following.
Noticed you cover your camera too ;) Nice to see I occasionally think like a geek, lol.
Full you say spam moderation requires on hands by humans, bots can't do it. Same goes for plagiarism, cheetah is getting it wrong, more so for certain opinions/activities.
Good work
Best of luck dear
Thank yes when power comes more the responsibilities increase but thing i think are we helping our self-are sustainable not we earning we facilitating our family are we are burden on them these all is true then should move further others because people also have right on us so kindly help each and one with out difference who have He/she then dream come true human and humanty is priror thank you.
Wow such genorosity buddy, i really know you can be a great witness here someday.
I sure know.
Haha well if you delegate some to me, i will build ice cream stores for children all over Nigeria 😝😝😝😝😝
exelent job
great work
Might I suggest that could you please also delegate some SP to @jamesanity06 as well, he's a good author of quality contents and poems but is greatly under valued. If you've got time, could you please look into his profile and read some of his works, I am sure you will find value in his works. Thank you and good day!
Congratulations @fulltimegeek, this post is the forth most rewarded post (based on pending payouts) in the last 12 hours written by a Superhero or Legend account holder (accounts hold greater than 100 Mega Vests). The total number of posts by Superhero and Legend account holders during this period was 27 and the total pending payments to posts in these categories was $807.30. To see the full list of highest paid posts across all accounts categories, click here.
If you do not wish to receive these messages in future, please reply stop to this comment.
thank you for taking the lead and setting the example for others. You ARE helping to build the inspiration in others to grow and build the community we call Steemit! ROCK ON MAN!
You're totally awesome. You're everywhere too. Someone should delegate some steem power to you :)
And how much will you delegate to my @steemeducation project :-D ? which will consist of giving my city's education system the rewards generated by Blockchain Steem.
We are currently working on the legal issues but once launched I wonder where to find support to move forward properly. Keep an eye on this project ;-)
i Followed You Would you like to be my Freind
Thank you so much for what you have done. I know that I and all the other Minnows appreciate it. Please let me know what I can do to get you to look in my direction for these delegations.
Great job! Bro... You are right about that....
I love your voice coupled with your good heart, seems i remember this voice in an animation.
Too sweet for a voiceover
Awesome!
Nice
So.. You're a whale...
Nice to meet you!
good post
