Yo!
Say a user were to give you a big delegation or follow your votes with a lot of voting power for 6 months. What would you do? How would you plan things out, what problem would you attack, how would you distribute the daily voting power, etc.
PS. This is a hypothetical question. :P Just want to know people's thoughts on what they think would be the best move forward from here according to them.
PPS. Aiding with the growth would either mean growing the amount of users, dapps, projects, devs, price, etc.
I would make sure I make a plan:
Point 1: 30%
Point 2: 10%
Point 3: 30%
The other 30% I would probably 'enjoy' for my regular curation of all the cool Steemians I've learned to love over my Steem career, so they can enjoy my luck with me and are not suddenly left out just because I got that delegation. Money/value is often changing behaviour anyway, and if I got a huge delegation following my votes I would definitely behave differently, but would want to keep a part of my original behaviour in tact as well.
Great question, nice to fantasize this for a bit :-)

I would ''hire'' talented devs to create more awesome games on the Steem blockchain, meaning I would use the SP to provide a few geniuses with a satisfactory income so that they would keep working 24/7 to deliver the best possible outcome.
Then I would create a facebook page with the aim of spreading the word about the Steem-based games, and I would probably use 2 - 4 % of the account's VP per week in order to pay for promotion services on Facebook.
Add some extra funds to that, and I could also make deals with Youtubers, paying them to promote the Steem-based games in Youtube videos.
Just thoughts.

I'd set up a bot that followed trusted curators. Every time it hit 100% voting power, it would select a random active post one of them had curated and drop a 100% vote on it. It would boost the curation rewards of those trusted curators, as well as increasing their impact on distribution.

Let's go hog wild and say @ned dropped 1 million SP on me for six months and began upvoting my posts at 100% for the same period.
I know, crazy talk, right?
But stay with me, this is only make-believe...
I feel, before we start thinking about bringing new people onto Steemit, we need to shore up content creators who are already here now.
If it weren't for @tribesteemup @earthtribe @steembasicincome @busy.pay and @actifit I would have almost no support for my posts. The curation trails and delegation I send out helps to keep me posting without feeling like it's all for nought.
I still remember the large upvote I got on a comment in the summer of 2017 when nobody was seeing my work. Just as I was getting discouraged seeing a pic of a ham sandwich being upvoted to the trending page while my posts langushed, the sky parted, and a kind Whale gave a refreshing, significant upvote.
Just in the nick of time.
So, I would focus on a twin strategy of "stopping the bleeding" along with initiatives like what @nathanmars is doing to both retain good content creators, with growth from outside of Steemit.
Combine that with delegation to grow my stake, so I could be self-sufficient once the six months are done. Kind of like if a wealthy person gave a homeless guy $100,000. Instead of spending it on hookers and blow, he wisely invests the funds for future growth while also paying it forward with the dividends.
Dapps like Actifit, Partiko, Steemmonsters and the brand-new DrugWars also provide a "stickiness" and a fun factor that helps keep people around. That's why I have no problem supporting them with my delegation as I can see the utility they provide for Steemit.
It's like renting vs owning. Would you spend money fixing up a place you didn't own? When users have a stake and feel invested, they are more willing to increase their shares which in turn helps support the price of STEEM.
So yes, going outside our platform is all fine and good, but we've got to help retain the good people that are still posting. It makes no sense to pour gasoline into a leaking fuel tank. We need to patch that sucker up first!

Hypothetically speaking, :)
as I am a curator for @steemgc and @vimm, I would follow what I'm curating with my vote.
That way, I could help the platform (@vimm) and the community (@steemgc) and also give a boost to a post I'm curating and help people grow.
I believe that the gaming community needs more recognition on Steem blockchain. But mostly why I would curate this community is because I see a BIG potential where we could onboard massive numbers of gamers/streamers.
That's why I think we need to have something to offer before they start coming.
Peace yo!
Other than that, I would try to support (if I'm left with enough VP) some projects that are helping minnows, like @welcomewagon.

I would add more emphasis to new users and assisting their onboarding. I currently spend time there every week but have often thought of expanding those efforts to actually mentoring a few in their journey towards being a minnow. However, the undertaking is substantial as I myself have been limited in my capabilities to do so as of late! I think that projects like @steemonboarding and @jongolson’s Steem Saavy can help in this as well!

I think my primary orientation would be to work on our "retention issue," specifically seeking out and encouraging engaging newcomers so they stay here and become long-term participants, rather than follow the "make an account, play around for a couple of days, then die" pattern we seem to see a LOT.
Depending on the actual size of the delegation, I might sub-delegate 100-200SP blocks to active newcomers who are struggling with managing their resource credits... which is a very confusing issue for those who come here from other social media. "I like this place, but why can't I post anymore??" is NOT the sort of "welcome mat" we need here.
I know a LOT is already going in the direction of dApp development and other technical stuff... but I believe having a strong resident community really matters because who's going to USE those dApps? It's great that we can say "The Steem blockchain is a great place to develop dApps!" but wouldn't it be BETTER to be able to say "The Steem blockchain is a great place to develop dApps, AND we have a huge and active built-in user base!"
Thanks for asking the question @acidyo!

Since received delegation cannot be sub-delegated, you would need to have your own SP base to delegate out. How would you convert the massive delegation into native SP that could be delegated out to active newcomers?

That's a good question, @josephsavage. I guess I would have to (a) develop considerable curation expertise to maximize returns to build my own SP (which I would do, anyway) and (b) work hard on engagement to build rewards for my own posts which would be 100% powered up. It would be much slower of course... but you have to work with the tools available to you!
On an unrelated aside, thanks for SBI! One of my favorite things in this community!

I think it would be hard because when some people see how much SP someone have they are trying to make friends with him/her. With great power comes great responsibility and you need to be more cautious. But my goal would be helping some great projects by following their curation trail. I think that is the only thing that you can do with delegated SP, maybe I'm wrong.

A large delegation would go directly to rewarding and incentivizing our users to run/cycle/hike/practice-yoga more. Along with that, it would be almost immediately used for claiming / creating new accounts so we can start reaching out to local athletics stores and on-boarding more users to EXHAUST (and Steem by extension).. Hopefully, it would also give me a bit of a kick in the ass to clean up some of the many rough edges / outstanding issues that I've been meaning to wrap up for a while now.

I'd probably look to create a community whom I've interacted with and are amazing content creators but don't get the rewards they deserve and start pvoting their quality posts. Other than that encourage users through a contest in which the winners would get a 100% upvote and so on so that newer people start creating more blogs and get rewards for their self esteem and get encouraged on the platform.

Just asking this question shows how important it is for all steemians to support each other.
I will post more and I will continue what I have been doing since HF20 create more accounts and onboard more steemians through #actifit and #partiko.
I just did it last night give away an account to @chrislene.
I am here for the long run.
It will be great fun to give back more and look for steemians that come over to empower more.
Anyone getting a delegation is worthy of it.
Great question and I wish someone is pushing steem more receive it.

That's all my friend.

I'd prioritize time to curate more again. I've been online a lot less the past month, and probably the next month as well. I would take advantage of the opportunity to make a big impact on the platform during that specific time period.
Then I would curate more but also try to get a training program going where I teach people a series of lessons on how to succeed on the platform. As part of that, each week someone participated in the training then applied what they learned, I'd give them an additional delegation of my own SP, say another 50 SP delegation for every week of lesson completion. I have enough SP to mentor numerous newbies like that if I don't need my SP for my manual curation for a period of time, due to someone else having delegated to me.
It may seem odd, but human nature is that you have to reward people for effort even to get them to do things that are in their best interest a lot of the time. That's because adults don't learn like children do. Children want to know just to know. Adults have so many responsibilities that they are always looking for what is a better investment of their time. So you hold their focus consistently only by making it pay immediately, until it becomes a habit and they can see how they can control their destiny themselves with their good habits. So I want to train them into those good habits in an effective way for teaching adults.

As a user, I am sincere when I say that I do not have the capacity to create something huge like a dapp I am very bad with the computing, it is more I leave the engineer in systems halfway. Over time, I learned that each of us has something important to do, and can contribute. Then I gave meaning to my path, I started as an assistant moderator of an important community as it is @cervantes and my abilities nowadays have led me to be a curator of @templo.
I was able to add a little value to the publications, give that possible aggregate that I had in my capacity to give to each of the authors (they almost always deserve more than what I give them, but everything is limited). Thanks to these two communities as well as that of @ocd and @steempress I have been able to reach my 500 sp, which are delegated in their entirety to the templo. A curation project to which I have been a curator for a couple of months. A project to delegate and also cure, whose organization is great.
If I knew that someone is interested in delegating power or giving support with votes, I would not ask for it, I would certainly accept it for a @templo, because in the end, I always see for the good of all, and that is a vision that has made to @templo something possible and very good in what he does with the contribution of the delegates and the support of several witnesses.
@Templo allows me to vote the posts of my language (Spanish) without forgetting the community that speaks English. Then, in a hypothetical case, that support would be great.
:P

For one, I would instantly start using the RC to create account creation tokens and use that to onboard devs and app users.
Next I would start funding my next project, Spire sidechains for Steem. With Spire you would be able to write just a few lines of code and create a transaction to automatically deploy a new Steem sidechain, which then you could interact with using a web (and maybe game engine) API with Steem Keychain. I would focus resources on getting the project out by June and hire devs to build as many APIs as possible.
Finally, after all is done with Spire (well there will always be improvements), I hope to start funding hackathons and continuing to improve developer interest in soft-consensus Steem DApps.

If I had a good delegation the first thing I would do would be to vote for many new people who have good talent, but who have not yet been discovered by people who support them, I would especially cure in the Venezuela tag to support the people of my country. That would encourage people to publish more ... we all get motivated to get votes for our publications, but sometimes you publish and you do get just 0.01 and there comes a time when you get discouraged ..

I received a 30k SP delegation from @eeks to help influence the increase of posts within the #film and #movies tags, which has definitely helped a lot of people; not just through encouraging to post, but ensuring good content isn't always overlooked and receives a moderate reward. It's crazy how much a few upvotes -- as it's meant to be -- can actually help the platform.
The two tags have improved significantly, and there's now a much larger community of posters within them that are aware of each other and curate each other as a result of the upvotes and improved interaction.
In short: I attacked the lack of curation in general. The solution has been a revival of a once-dying group on Steemit. Pretty neat.

This is a great questione: herebin Steem Blockchain I am not an artist, an Amazing writer or an expert on a specific main theme. I really like writing about everything and I probably I am one of the biggest dreamer on this platform.
Why do I speak about "dream"?
Well, they are ideas that I usually make during my freetime or when I did something that helps me to get free my mind like cooking or running.
These ideas are dreams only because my account is not so strong on Steem and I can understand that whales do not want to help or build a project on an idea of a person who they do not know.
I have already written some whitepapers on my PC about ideas that could become real if I could be able to find a sponsor. Not a giant support but enough to make Steem more dynamic.
Probably the best one is about sport: not a simple project where users write in ghostwriting, because writer are the owners of their texts, but a project where contests, special edition of a National Championship (NFL, Olympic Games, Football World Championship) written by a team of "journalist", weekly TOP 5 of the best sport posts, a team of curators...
At the same time I would like to build a new account with this delegation and not take this role on mine: I want to build a new reference point for sport on Steem Blockchain.
Thank you @acidyo for give us a space where we are able to speak about our ideas.

I would help user retention via upvoting those who been around for months (and are making an effort) but still see their post barely crossing the dust threshold. I would do this via giving them a delegation that can help them sustain their blog and upvote support. Depending on the amount of Steem I have, I would also create a small team to help out with this task and other user retention related tasks such as commenting on new user posts.
Perhaps star an umbrella program.
Create 4 dolphins in which help out two Minnows each who in return then help out 2 redfish each. As each one grows to the next step they are asked to follow the above guidelines so the help umbrella reaches as many as possible and would eventually be self sustaining.

I would use it to reward game development. Gamers make a nice juicy market of spenders, content consumer, and influencers.
The blockchain gaming model really needs to start shifting away from f2p browser and cellphone like style of games. To many view them purely as an opportunity to try and make an ROI then have fun playing those games. This defeats the purpose of gaming in the first place for the average gamer. The platform needs more spenders.

I would launch my own Steem based project/dapp and utilize a large portion of the SP to further delegate out to new comers on the platform, and take the rest as a reward pool for upvoting solid content produced by these participants.
During this starting development prior to Alpha release, I would take advantage of the delegation by posting Steemit articles relating to the project (ie. purpose, design, dev updates, etc). This would be to attract attention and following around the project, develop a true presence on the Steem platform (which is extremely difficult to achieve organically at this stage of the platform when refusing to pay for it), and also earn additional SP which can be fed back into the my dapp upon its release.
The project will have an 8-10 week initial dev cycle prior to Alpha release. I actually have documentation and a cofounder (also a software dev) who is willing to tackle it with me, so this is the projected cycle given current scope of the project.
While a hypothetical exercise, I would eat that shit up!
