Hey my Steemit friends!

Want to bulk up your SteemPower?


(Muscle Shark by MatthewTri)

Now here is your chance! I'm offering up for auction, and nice delicious slice of 10K SteemPower delegation that will last for one week.

To participate in the auction, place a bid down below.

  • All bids must be in SBD! No other currency!
  • Any strange or invalid bids will be ignored (or possibly flagged)
  • Please only place a bid if you are serious, the winning bid will be expected to purchase this delegation from me at the bid price.
  • I will be obligated to rent to you at the bid price
  • All usual rules apply, misbehaving accounts will have their delegation pulled early.
  • If you don't want to make a bid, but still want to comment, you are welcome to do so, just be sure your comment doesn't resemble a bid.
  • Only one unit of 10K is up for bid.
  • When renting, the full amount must be paid up front.
  • The auction will last one week, until this post pays out, then the winning bid will be selected.

The starting bid is 65 SBD, all valid bids must be above this number!

Happy bidding!

Auction still open!

Current highest bid: @digital-gypsy for 191 SBD

Sneaking an upvote for yourself in the last minute huh...

Capitalism is the system of self-interest. I know if I keep it under the radar I won't be downvoted. The only accounts willing to do it are those with a massive stake when convinced by major authors who don't want others to do it for fear of losing their monopolies on rewards.

I know if I keep it under the radar I won't be downvoted

Well the under the radar thing didn't work this time did it.

oh I know we are friends, sometimes the best hiding is in plain sight.

I also know there are debates going on in the background about the idea of people doing it, right now is the best time for it.

wow you have some good business mindset :)

with some outside help wink!

i don't understand what people are bidding for, i read the post twice over but it think im too fresh, do you mind explaining to me? i ask because of your comment and rep level

i'm pretty new too, but i think i got most of the basics down. so i should be able to answer this.

to understand this post, you will first need to understand "steem power", which is basically the amount of power you have behind your upvotes (and flags). the higher your steem power, the more powerful your vote is in terms of rewarding the people you vote for.

there are many ways to obtain steem power, and one of them is by "delegation", which is what @neoxian is offering here. it's basically "loaning" of steem power from your own account to others for any period. also note that delegated steem power is deducted from your own steem power.

to anyone reading this, i don't think i got it wrong, but if i did, please feel free to correct me!

Good job on this nice answer, my padawan.

shortly - you pay to have more influence over platform, ie to give more money to people (or yourself) with a vote. nnnhhh explained it pretty good

If nnhhh explained it pretty well, then maybe you should have given him the vote...rather than yourself.

hit him to 78 dollars ;)

Thanks, I'm sure that made his day.

my god, it sure did. thanks guys. i honestly just wanted to help out a fellow newbie and wasn't expecting much out of it. $100 is a lot for a comment! i almost feel like i don't deserve that much

Thanks for your vote!

Hello im new..what did zeartful bid for?thanks.
How much wikl he earn for that 125$?

For 10k Delegated (borrowed) Steem power see my account and you will see this.
"Part of your STEEM POWER is currently delegated to you. Delegation is donated for influence or to help new users perform actions on steemit. Your delegation amount can fluctuate."

The auction isn't over yet.

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

sneaky! :)

you saw it first ever steemit delegation auction!

100 SBD

125 SBD

wait whats a bid ?

A bid is your price you are willing to pay for the above 10K SP, this is an auction, so people will try to outbid each other.

only money that we have in our account right ... well that sucks cause many of us totally power up 100% incrudig me

To be clear, you don't necessarily have to have the money in your account right this moment, but you'll be expected to have it if you win so you can rent. And you have one week to come up with it.

Of course you have to be able to pay for it

This is the winner!

@digital-gypsy for 191 SBD

Current highest bid: @digital-gypsy for 191 SBD DING DING DING Winner enjoy it.

Yep he won it, just waiting for his payment.

Well @neoxian, it looks like 125 is the high bid and that's pretty rich, so I will pass for now. I wish this process all the success.

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

125..so far, but the fat lady hasn't sung yet, and I feel some snipers are going to strike on the last day of the auction. Definitely still have high hopes for this one ;)

If I re steem this hog you are surely to receive at least one more bid. I want to see the bid go higher as well, so let me see if I can help you my friend. @neoxian, good luck and Steem On!

Awesome, thanks for the resteem. Have a full powered vote on me.

I think what you're doing is awesome and I believe in this blockchain. I still have a lot to learn, but it's a lot of fun.

(2nd bid) 120 SBD

I bid 110 SBD

Nice! Auction format! I like it

My bid 111

I don't have enough money to bid now but wait you greedy shark I'll catch u in one month. Please allure me with the prospects of earning back using the power. It's your responsibility to train your future customers. :)

What's the high bid on this auction?

Looks like 190

Looks like a round of beers are on you. That's some sweet SBD

Wow this is a great way to make some money and an awesome business!!

Has anyone ever made a loan to pay this delegation?
*must be brave to ask something like that

Don't worry, I don't bite. It's ok to ask questions.

No one has done it, but a few have brought it up. Getting a loan from me and then buying a delegation are two separate actions. You would still have to get your loan approved, and I charge interest. I usually only want to loan to people who need the money for a good reason, so I'd probably deny the loan.

NEOXIAN .. how complicated (technically), to delegate power ?? - ))
... and, how would someone abuse it ?? - ((
i like to have .. further goals to shoot for .. so details 'add' to the scope of my imagination !! - )) ... one last thing .. does YOUr account receive any benefit ?? while lending the power ?? - ))

.. thanks for the offer !! - ))

LOVELOVELOVE )))
greb'Z )

ha ha .. my bid ?? - ))

[ love ] .. INfiniTE SBD - ))

how complicated (technically), to delegate power ?? - ))

It's not that hard. I use the command line wallet, but you can also do it on busy.org now.
A tricky part is calculating the Vests from SP, since the interface wants Vests.

and, how would someone abuse it ?? - ((

Becoming a flag bot, or upvoting spam and plagiarism in a big way.

does YOUr account receive any benefit ?? while lending the power ?? - ))

None whatsoever, which is why I charge for it.

WoW .. cool .. and, THANK YOU !! - ))

Sorry .. it raises one more quest-i-on ?? - ))
... what are vests ?? - ))
.. ha ha )))
BuT i'm curious to a fault - )))))
so ... i'll STEEM GooglE IT - ))
.. i'm sure someone will have written about vests - ))

appreciate YOUr TIME !! - ))

LOVELOVELOVE )))
greb'Z )

i LooK forward .. to being a curating NINJA !! - ))
SEEmS like a FUN retirement GiG - ))

Vests are the secret currency in Steem. They represent the size of your stake in Steem, or your SteemPower. The front end interface hides this, and shows you SteemPower instead of vests.

Whenever you power up Steem, you are really converting to Vests, and powering down is changing your Vests for Steem again.

ThanK YOU .. clear - ))
.. i appreciate this - )

Darn it, I missed it 😩😀

Missed what? It's still ongoing.

bid over 140 :)

Bid: 126 SBD

Nice! in the moment of receiving the 10K steem, how will the process work? is it sending steem or renting an account?

I don't not send steem, nor use a second account. I use a mechanism called "delegation" where I can assign a part of my steempower to bolster yours. It will make your account stronger, even though the steempower is still mine and I can withdraw it anytime (but for this auction, you'd have it for one week.)

Nice , how can I delegate mine?

Excellent! Thank you neoxian!

busy is so much easier.

I wish I had more SBD and I would so bid on this!!!

You are a very creative loan shark bastard..Haha
It looks like you like that game :)

I bid 140 SBD

So lets spice up the auction a little bit. My new bid is 185 SBD
I should have taken the 65 Dollar Offer a while ago...Mhhh

This is fine, I got your bid of 185. Will add you to the post. Thanks!

Haha..WOW

want to pokebattle? 190 SBD

Haha.Is that a bid or not ?? LOL

I'm taking it as a bid, will update.

191

wow, that auction becomes more and more interesting. maybe you will end up getting a rental fee of 10k for the one week rental of 10k - than all the financial books needs to be rewritten I guess :) I think I need the old 3-2-1 strategy we have done on ebay and need to try to launch my bid in the last second of this auction. FANTASIC THREAD. I really love it !

I wish i could bid.. But unfortunately my account is worth 5 sbd lol

I'll start the bid out at 65.01 SBD

Phew, I sure hope someone out-bids you, because that would be a fantastic deal ;)

I don't think there was any worries on that one haha

🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺😍😍😍😍😍

This is a pretty great idea. I wish i had more SBD to be able to actually competitively bid. Followed you anyways in case i get there sooner rather than later! :)

Interesting. As a new member, no SBD at all. May consider it later

73 SBD #steemfam

hehe cool

Can we bid again if someone outbids us?

Yes

Hi @neoxian

But I do not have so much SBD. ^_^

Hi dear!! I need other loan, I did not know how to communicate with you!!
This time I need 200 SBD to pay them in 1 week!! please

I'm on discord.

I'm also in discord so I can not find you

I'm neoxian#3936

betamusic#9860

Dude I'd loan 50k delegated if we could work out a price

I don't have 50k to delegate.

Could you send me a message on discord same user name

@neoxian, I believe you are going to give this loan to the highest bidder. If that is so then the highest bidder at the moment at 191sbd has tried and will not let me place my bid because I think it is already high at the moment. I dont know if there is any clarification you will be willing to make with regard to this.

will not let me place my bid

You can't place a bid? Just make a comment with your higher bid and I'll update the post.

I am invariably saying that the amount bid by the last bidder is high already and would not permit me to place a bid.

Well, ok, I'm not sure what to tell you then, that's how auctions work.

Let me add a reference to a related post here. In the old days this was called a pingback, I suppose:

https://steemit.com/steemit/@konstantint/the-expected-returns-of-greedy-self-voting

Good idea man! Upvoted and followed you for future reference ;)

What is money?
:o

whut

Just saw some funny comments and questions in here

Are you manually updating the winner, or do you have a script? That is some fast updatin!

It's manual, it might not always be so fast.

Where is now with the 243 comments? I'm curious what people are willing to pay for an extra 10k in Steem Power for just one week.

191 SBD
I update the highest bid in the post.

Dude, that's impressive numbers for a week

191 is not good the most u can get back from 10 k sp is 265 roughly, better off paying for votes

Thanks, feel free to rent delegation cheaper, under cut me.

not interesting and dont have the sp

Yea making money is actually pretty boring ;)

happy for you

How about I give you $15 SBD! But I have to wait for some of my posts to clear

Um, you have to beat the highest bid, which is 140 SBD as of this writing.

Clever indeed!

i have nothing to bid with . but u can have 80% or curating reward for that week .i get a chance to curate :D

bid over 112 :)
