Some thoughts around POB delegations
I read one interesting thread around the POB delegations last week. The post was written by @scooter77.pob and is available for reference here. In this post he proposed a few methods of delegating the POB power in a constructive manner. Which in my opinion is a good idea.
In the initial days, when you are looking to grow the community and have the impact on the stakeholders, i believe that delegations are very helpful as they attract lot more people to contribute. Those with delegations vote the contributors to whom the community account can not reach out directly. In this regards @proofofbrainio chose the right people and we are seeing the positive impact of the same already.
Though there are no reasons for these delegations, i guess he was not the only one who delegated the #pobpower. Here are the top ten accounts which we need to look at too.
| No | Account Name | Delegated POB Power |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | @proofofbrainio | 33882 |
| 2 | @amr008 | 5205.378767 |
| 3 | @vempromundo | 4574.684946 |
| 4 | @scooter77 | 4011.586023 |
| 5 | @rxhector | 3750 |
| 6 | @richardcrill | 3400 |
| 7 | @leprechaun | 3000 |
| 8 | @calumam | 1800 |
| 9 | @espandor | 1717.543318 |
| 10 | @oldmans | 1700 |
All these above numbers are from the analysis from 10th May. Now if we take a look at these accounts you would see that most of these accounts have delegated the POB power to their own .pob accounts for better management of their stakes in the different tokens.
Those who are delegating to their own accounts are not the part of this analysis as this is not really helping the community at large to develop and is excluded from this analysis.
Delegation by @rxhector
The biggest delegator after @proofofbrainio is the account of @rxhector. I am one of the beneficiary of his delegations. His other delegation is made to @harpreetjanda @brofi and @jlordc. His delegations have helped the #pob platform to develop different statistical reports as me and @harpreetjanda publish different reports based on different activities in platform.
Delegations by @richardcrill
This account is of a passive investor. He received a delegation from @proofofbrainio account and he delegated a good amounts to @brofi @brianbeights @lindseylambz and amr008.pob account. This account is again helping the indirect curation through amr008.pob's engagement project whose bot votes on the highest engagement creators.
Delegations by @leprechaun
This is one of the whale accounts and active contributor to this platform. He wrote one of the best guides for beginners to use the #pob platform. He delegated only to @vempromundo.pob account. This again is a manual curation account of @vempromundo. I am sure, there would be very few accounts who would not have received the vote from this account inspite of creating the good content.
Delegations by @calumam
This is again another whale account which is active contributor and he compiles the trending topics and poses the challenges for the newbies to earn some quick POBs. Now this is an interesting piece of analysis as he delegates small amounts to multiple accounts and i believe that this is the real value of delegation.
| Delegated to | Impact |
|---|---|
| @celi130 | She wrote some beautiful pieces of stories on venezuela and also compiled the challenges. She had a very interesting debut on this platform. |
| @charcoalbuffet | This account participates in many challenges posed by the @calumam account and provides different perspective for the words. |
| @hranhuk | This account is also a regular participant in the word of the week competition by @calumam. |
| @clicmaster | This accounts is deeply involved with this platform and you will see this name in many posts commenting with some different perspective. |
| @finguru | This account seems to be one of the most engaging accounts on the leo platform. |
| @edystringz | I found this account doing a bit of evangelism and identifying the plagiarism on this platform. |
| @juanmiguelsalas | This is yet another active account on Hive. |
Those who have received the delegations have done excellent work and though it @proofofbrainio delegated the power randomly, today after two months we all are seeing the good results. Sometimes gut feel is important than scientific methods.
There are few reasons why I felt it is necessary to make this post and one of the significant reason is that I am one of the beneficiaries of the delegation from the account of @proofofbrainio.
Secondly, as we are a new community it is essential to pat the back of those who are working hard and providing support to others. Sometimes even the community owners need it.

Delegation has really help this community in every aspect and I think more account that has been contributed to the growth of the community should be considered too
Ofcourse, there would be so many other accounts who would be doing a great job of delegating the pob power to the well deserving accounts, however, due to lack of time i just considered top 10 accounts. You can suggest me some more accounts, i should look at.
Another excellent post! My main account still delegated 700 POB through contest, and i think this month i will get weaker, cause Leprechaun talked to me about undelegate the 3k POB now that i reached 10k POB for myself.
P.s.: sorry any grammar mistake, i'm typing through phone without google translate
Thank you @vempromundo, you have always been a source of inspiration for many on this platform. I have always looked up to you as one of the idols here.
Its a good post and I am taking this as an opportunity to thank @vempromundo.pob for delegating me the POB power which was required in the early days to make some good rewards out of contributing the content. Not only once, I received his delegations twice. It was so much of encouragement to be on this platform.
Bravo,you are taking the right steps in the right direction....@vempromundo.pob
Nice to see the data @interpretation as usual. I'll just add that all of these delegations are till the end of June 2021, and I'll be swapping them up after that, no real limit as to how much will be delegated out, just depends on what the account is doing for the platform. I usually match people's stakes with an equal delegation when they reach a milestone. They are pretty random for the most part except the 250 POB delegations are usually for continued engagement on the platform + WOTW.
Spread the joy and all that.
I really appreciate your efforts, because of your challenge to delegate certain amount of POB, I am seeing a trending tag of POB-WOTW on the left hand side of the pob front-end. I think this is an achievement in itself. I guess this is a big contribution in itself for the pob community. Your delegations are really making wonders. I have just joined this platform few days back and I am still trying to figure out how to contribute to this community. I am still overcoming some of the starting hiccups.
It's great to see the #pob-wotw tag climbing up the list. I'm super pleased with how the community has responded to it, very grateful for the continued support.
Thanks for the encouraging words @vanillavow.
Feel free to send over any questions and I'll be sure to respond to the best of my knowledge.
Thank you very much for the mention. I am grateful to @calumam for the delegation, it has helped me to stay longer in the community, and read interesting, as well as life-changing contents. And in turn, I am able to reward the writers.
Other persons who have contributed in one way or the other to the growth of the platform ought to be appreciated and are all worthy of mention.
Together, we can move the community forward.
Delegation is indeed a sensitive topic. Those who received it are enjoying the fruits of power on this platform. Their ability to generate rewards is lot more than others and those you mentioned here are doing a great job too. This post has really highlighted the great job @calumam is doing by not only giving out his pob power to smaller accounts but for that he has created a framework too.
The second point I liked in your post is that you have taken a stand to support the account of community owner @proofofbrainio. Many would criticize but its a good gesture to appreciate the actions of community owner.
thanks for the mention ;)
i've been SUPER lazy and haven't done a damn thing for a few weeks
maybe muh brainz needed a little break
i'll try to start picking up the pace again next week.
it's nice to see my delegations are helping .
I appreciate calumams' delegation for helping me grow and also to spread some pob around, especially when i sort by 'new' lol.
By the end of the delegation period, i'd have more than i need so like he mentioned, it would be better for it to go to another smaller account just starting up.
