I’m going to keep this short and sweet, and steer clear of sentimentalities, mainly because the day has come, and I am very short on time.
The bottom line is that I am leaving Steemit, that is, from a participatory standpoint. I’m still going to be a diehard STEEM investor though. In fact, I’m not going to power down. I’m just going to stop posting and commenting because I don’t have time. Steemit is a serious venture that needs to be given serious attention, and I just don’t have time to do that.
What’s the hardest for me is saying goodbye to such a great bunch of people. It’s not necessarily forever though, just the foreseeable future. I learned long ago to never say never.
I will be leasing my SP, and I’m looking seriously at MinnowBooster. I haven’t been able to really research the subject much, but they look good. What do you think? Would that be a good choice? Let me know in the comments!
I’ll be active until the 23rd, commenting and rewarding, but after that date I’ll no longer be posting or upvoting.
Thanks a million to everyone, for all your support and collaboration. It was nothing less than a pleasure.

This is tragic news. Well maybe tragic is too strong a word but it is depressing nonetheless. Who am I going to share my findings about Bitshares with?
I wish you the best. I understand how life takes over. We both feel we are in firm position with our holdings and I enjoyed our conversations about what is taking place.
Hopefully your schedule will clear up soon and your return imminent.
Like you say about the bull run I will apply to your return: not a question of if but when.

Many of us will miss you and your weekly posts man...Thanks for all the good moments, comments and upvotes you have provided to all the community...
Just in case you don't know, I am the creator of the @runningproject initiative which tries to promote the Running community at steemit. For the time being I think the initiative is going very well and every week we have more and more enrolled members...in order to sustain it I created a few months ago @isotonic which is a bid-based bot used to fund the project... I would be very grateful if you would consider delegating some of your SP to @isotonic, so you would get a passive income while helping us... @isotonic provides 90% of the total earnings to their delegators, the rest, 10% is going directly to fund the @runningproject initiative...
So, it will give you a passive income comparable if not more than the majority of the other bid-bots...It is worth to say that I am not getting any income from @isotonic more than the one coming from my own delegation to the account...
Read this post if you have a couple of minutes: https://steemit.com/running/@toofasteddie/delegating-sp-to-isotonic-as-a-good-option-to-fund-runningproject-initiative-and-get-some-passive-earnings
I hope you get back soon, with more time and, as usual, motivating ideas to share with all of us.
Steem on!

I knew you were an avid runner, but I didn't know about your inititive here in Steemit. Very good idea, and it exactly this kind of "niche" inititive that will make Steemit great. Everyone pitching in their two cents will turn this thing into a real wonder in the eyes of all, and I'm definitely going to take a close look at @isotonic - it sounds like a good place to put my 2¢ to work. Best of luck to you.

@cryptographic,
First of all I am personally don't like this decision! Coz, you are one of the most worthiest Steemian on this platform! I have learn a lot via your posts and analysis! So, this might be a very bad news that I heard today!
You asked about SP delegation! Yeah Minnowbooster is a good choice! Specially you have 20K SP, so you can make a decent income through delegation as well!
But if I offer you 100% Liquidity + 80% Curation daily rental for 10K of your SP on my bot (Working on bot automation), I hope sometimes you might think about this offer as well! I will handle everything manually at this point, but sooner everything will be automated. (Working on that project at the moment)
I am looking forward to hear from you, but again I wish you might stay on this platform and will share your valuable market analysis with us! Coz, it's very rare to find worthiest Steemians like you do!
(If you like my offer, please comment below, I will help you to proceed the process)
Cheers~

Thanks for that. Appreciate it, but, you're right, there are only 24 hours in a day, priorities are priorities, and somewhere along the line something gets dropped. Sadly, from a community engagement standpoint, happily from a personal standpoint (which means that knowing how good Steemit is, if there's no time for it, everything else must be even better), my active involvement in the Steemit community is what is getting the axe.

Wow! It looks like you are making a killing on Minnowbooster! I calculated out a daily rate of .0812% for you which = 34.48% a year I think. I'm not even going to try and attempt to do business with you. lol I have been paying like 30% on some of my loans though but I hope to get that lowered and have 0 intentions of renewing my 150 rate loans which do actually = 34.67% if I were to keep those.

I've really enjoyed your participation. Keep up the good work. You've got great energy and a very interesting style. BTW, I've been thinking about what might be the most conservative portfolio in crypto, or, to say it another way, what would be the lowest risk portfolio, and it seems to me that the average investor just couldn't go wrong if he or she took the first 15 of Weiss Ratings and invested equally in each. No market cap weighted BS, no, just an equal distribution, for example, $15,000 spread out evenly, $1,000 to each, and it would be very difficult to lose money long term. The whole of crypto would have to go bust! Granted, you give up 500x potential, but long term a 50x on 15 grand isn't bad either, especially considering the low risk to begin with.
Just something I've been muddling over. Take care!

Oh Man your posts and nice votes will be missed!
I personally think that minnowbooster takes too big of a cut of your money to be 100% profitable, you should look into @tipu which pays you 100% of each vote + 60% of the curation rewards.
If you prefer vote selling over delegation, I prefer smartsteem over minnowbooster since the site is so much better and has more users and options to manage your vote selling, but in the end it's a matter of preference!
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Thanks for that. Will look into both.
BTW, what's the difference between selling and delegation? How does selling work?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Vote selling uses your VP and it votes on other people using your account until a vp threshold is met, let's say 80% and then it stops selling until you reach 80% vp again which shouldn't be an issue since you will not be participating much anymore but it gives you flexibility, because you keep all your sp and can vote and reward things if you want to manually.
Delegating, if you delegate all your sp to a bot, you won't know where your sp is used and your vote value will go down to most likely 0 because all your sp will be delegated, it takes 7 days to recover delegated sp after you undelegate it and with vote selling you can configure it and change it around every time you want and make it stop or run again anytime you want without delegating your stake away.
If you are interested in smartsteem, I would love it if you used my referral link <3

It’s really sad to read this. However, I totally understand it. I met here on Steemit platform great people including you. However, I have been taking it a bit slower lately here on steemit platform as well. Sometimes, there are other more important things. Because of that, I have delegated bigger portion of my SP To @tipu. I do recommend @tipu if you look for your SP to delegate. You can compare his returns with others. That’s what I did and he is definitely the most profitable. But you have to do your own research. I wish you the best and hopefully we will hear from you sooner than later. By the time I hope BTS and other cryptos will finally start a new bull market.

You act very wisely. The main disadvantage of STEEM is that it mercilessly absorbs time, like any other social network. But, personally, I will remember you as a great guy who was absolutely honest in his blog.

It's a bit confusing but if you give me a $1 upvote I could just pay you a dollar to fix the low weekly rate for the first week which assumes I don't renew.
1 Steem per 200 per week = 52 Steem per 52 weeks 52/200 = 26% interest rate but it's only like 24 since minnowbooster takes a cut but 24% is higher than what the bots are paying.

Hello @cryptographic,
I'm not farewell you. Because, you should be here. When you get time, we can discuss more on crypto trading & market analysis.
You can delegate your Vest. It's a good thought to make more income. There are a lot of bot programs are looking for SP delegations. @tipu is one of them & @minnowbooster is another. My senses say both are good. But lot more bot programs are processing the same module.
Don't leave the platform, delegate & stay still.
Use this tool to find a good delegation service:
https://www.steemdesk.com/delegation/current
Check Username: @arama
You can compare APR % by using him delegations.
Most of delegation services are paying 100% Liquidity Profit with 60% Curation Profit at the moment.

it's sad to see you leave, but if you got less time, it's hard to be attached with charts, posts & etc at the same time. but your idea of holding steem as power & delegation is a good idea. it's equals to have a mining machine of steem.
minnowbooster, postpromoter, jerrybanfield, smartsteem, upmewhale, boomerang
these bots are good for delegations. upmewhale, boomerang are the best of them. 100% liquidity & 60% curation they provide to you.
