Of course. We already had this some time ago.
On the one hand, it's good when users are encouraged to power up. But this should be a matter of course and over a longer period of time. If the campaign runs for longer, some users will find ways to trick the rules if only one month is considered.
I think it would be better to see who has powered up how much over a whole year, for example. As you can't compare the large accounts with the small ones, it would of course be necessary to differentiate.
Power up every day and don't post about it!
That's right, my friend. It was a very good campaign, but with the arrival of clubs (50, 50, 75, 100), Spud4Steem lost its usefulness. I think it's a great idea to invite users to show their continuous growth over the past year and evaluate whether they qualify for a one-month delegation.
I think it's a good strategy; this way, each SP can be used quickly. The posts about boosters became famous for Steem's growth dynamics.
Thank you for sharing your opinion and experience, and also for the work you do on the platform.

1. Are you aware of the Spud4Steem launch? What has been your power-up strategy on Steemit?
I did not know about the Spud4Steem launch until now; it is an incentive program. I hope it attracts more sponsors and larger rewards because stronger incentives would motivate users to power up. Delegations alone do not motivate me. I am currently analyzing Steem accounts: so far, I have examined about 700 k of the 1.9 million total, and the ratio of power‑ups to withdrawals is not impressive. When the study is complete, I will publish the full report. My approach is simple: I power up whenever possible because I do not need to cash out right now. I prefer holding STEEM as Steem Power instead of leaving it on an exchange. The only withdrawals I have made were small tests for development work.
2. Do you have an account on an exchange? Do you know a Steem community there? Do you use the comment box to promote Steem?
Yes, I have accounts on several exchanges, but I am not very active on them. I rarely use comment boxes to promote Steem because I do not have enough time. When I find a free moment, I talk about Steem: I have created a Twitter account and a Discord server to share my tools, though I have not promoted them properly yet. I believe people who actively market and support Steem deserve larger rewards because outreach is just as important as development. I am still surprised that many of my blockchain‑savvy friends have never heard of Steem.
3. Do you spend time on the platform without showing any trace of it? What do you do during this time?
Recently I have spent a lot of time on Steem without leaving much visible activity. Since I decided to build for the platform, most of my time gone into private discussions with users , witnesses, where we share ideas, advice, Develop some tools, provide solutions, and suggest them like this :
https://steemit.com/steem-dev/@kafio/introducing-the-enhanced-editor-for-steemit-improving-writing-experience-across-devices
https://steemit.com/steem-dev/@kafio/who-am-i-history-mystery-challenge-application-for-steemit-challenge-season-24
and plans, often on Discord and Telegram rather than directly on‑chain. Last week an experienced user walked me through some hard‑to‑find details. That conversation showed me that Steem still has a discovery problem. I know I should be more present in public communities. Even though I was one of the most active users last week with seven posts and ninety‑seven comments https://steemit.com/makenoise/@alejos7ven/make-noise-week-151-weekly-engagement-report, almost everything was development‑related, so the users base barely noticed me.
That's also my idea of steem. Why should I wait for a certain point in time to convert the liquid STEEM into SP? With more SP I can increase my curation rewards and the influence on various decisions (witnesses, proposals, etc.). I think it should be a matter of course to power up. Of course, everyone has to determine the proportion according to their own preferences. Personally, I power up any amount that exceeds 10 STEEM (that I want to keep liquid).
So that I don't have to do this manually, I've written a script for it... I'm sure you can write that too :-)
I actually made all my posts with Rewards: Power Up 100%. I think doing that shows good behavior and support for the ecosystem. so idon't need to make power up
But lately, I’ve needed some STEEM to test my game, so I started setting my post rewards to 50% SP and 50% STEEM to collect some for testing purposes.
By the way, have you heard about my game? I’d really appreciate any feedback if you get a chance to check it out! , also thank you for sharing your power-up strategy on Steemit.

Also, I noticed your name in the Discord server for the dev channel. Sometimes I hop in there and read the conversations to learn more about Steem, since there’s not much documentation available. It’s actually really helpful. But I’ve noticed the dev activity there isn’t as strong as it used to be—are developers still as interested in Steem as before?
Of course and I read your conversation with chriddi about her tests.
I wanted to test the game myself, but haven't been able to do so yet. But it would put me off if I had to enter my private key. I can't say at the moment as I haven't checked yet, but I would prefer to use Keychain.
According to your post about the current change (also regarding the use of keys), I assume that you are not using Keychain.
Because most developers are also witnesses, we talk more in the witness channel than in other channels.
No, you can connect with Keychain—there are two options yo login : keys or keychain , I get your point, and I don’t fully trust anyone either andalso i prefer use keychain. I added the key connection because there’s no solid mobile solution—especially on iOS—that integrates well with Keychain. If there were, I wouldn’t have add this feature. In my last post, I just made sure the keys are encrypted locally, in case things go really wrong—like if a user gets hacked or someone gains access to their browser data
Very well! Then I'll try this game soon...
I think there was already a request among the witnesses that there must be a solution for mobile devices. I don't know if anyone is currently working on it. But I hope there will be something suitable soon.
thank you , About the solution for mobile devices: if no one is currently working on it, I can help with that.
Delegations can give us greater voting power, and therefore, greater curation rewards. It's important to know the delegation amounts for each post; with 10K SP, you could generate around 25 Steem weekly.
I think it's good that you have accounts on multiple exchanges; it gives you more options to share with communities that are familiar with the environment. Promoting Steem on these exchanges is important to try to attract the attention of potential investors and people who want to get involved with Steem. There have been advertising strategies, but on social networks like Facebook and Twitter, but I think it's important to boost the community on the exchanges.
Developers have that peculiarity: they tend to work in the background, making it seem like they're not active on the platform. The same thing happens with those who review posts to verify that they comply with content policies. Developers should occasionally use established communities to showcase their work; this way, they will reach more users.
Thank you for sharing your opinion and experience; Also, for the effort you make to promote the growth of Steem and Steemit.
Yeah, I didn’t say the opposite , I think it’s really good to support new active users. I also received support like that not too long ago. But still, it’s not a solution to the main problem: people withdrawing money without a building.
I had a conversation with someone who told me how Steemit used to work — I’m not sure if you were around back then , but there were strict rules for users who only withdrew funds without helping building.
There are also the Club rules, but I don’t think they apply anymore. Like I said, I’m analyzing user behavior and I’ll be sharing a report on building up vs withdrawing. The numbers aren’t looking good at all...
Yeah, each person has their own way they can contribute, depending on their role. I think the most important roles are development and marketing—like what you do. I also hope that the people helping to promote the platform get some rewards, because it's not an easy task like many might think.
TThank you as well for your effort. I always get new updates from posts like yours and @pennsif’s. However, I think he hasn't done The Steem News in quite some time
https://steemit.com/steem/@pennsif/the-steem-news-10-february-2025-atlas-ambassadors
I hope it becomes easier to get news on Steemit, like what @disconnect is doing with contests and news posts. For example, if I hadn't come across your post, I would never have heard about Spud4Steem—only randomly. But if there were posts that collect all the latest news and events in one place, it would be much easier to stay updated.
What do you think about that?
This is completely false; in fact, I'm sure there's more of a growth culture these days than before. What I can say is that, in Steemit before the fork, support was governed primarily by delegations. To receive votes, you had to delegate to whale users to qualify for good votes; otherwise, it was a blessing to receive them. Today, there are whales, communities, and users who provide support in a community-based way for nothing.
Club rules were relaxed at the urging of some users, with the intention of further expanding the reach of support and encouraging them to share content more regularly. It remains to be seen whether the results have met expectations.
I think my friend @pennsif is very busy developing Steem Atlas. If he doesn't post updates this week, I think I'll do it myself so I can keep everyone updated until he has time.
It's important to let you know that after the fork, there were only a few developers left, which caused Steem to stagnate. However, since last year, I've seen a lot of movement, and we need to educate communities to support ongoing projects, as I can tell many users don't know how to do so.
I was talking about the problems of over rewards and making withdrawals, not about delegations. I don't know exactly how things were on Steem before I started, but from what I’ve heard, it used to be more organized. For example, if someone only made withdrawals, they wouldn’t receive rewards and might even get downvoted by stakeholders. But I’m not sure—that’s just what I’ve read and what others have told me.
Anyway, I recently analyzed data from over 900,000 user accounts, and here’s what I found:
there bad numbers
I will share all the reports soon, after finishing the analysis of the other accounts.
Yes, as I was saying, since 2021, several dynamics have been developed to encourage power ups. The most effective was the club approach. If you had 100 Steem, the following was applied: club5050 (you activate 50 Steem and withdraw 50 for a month); club75 (you activate 75 Steem and withdraw 25 during the last 2 months); club100 (you activate everything for the last 3 months). This was made more flexible by some user proposals, in order to avoid the exclusion of authors who don't normally power up. During this period, downvotes are not issued for not activating, but accounts are not supported either. Currently, the only way to not receive support is to have active power downs, and yet, there have been cases of support.
Before 2020, there was no culture of growth, as such; just the fact that to receive a vote from a whale, you had to delegate, and to delegate, you obviously had to grow (increase Steem Power), this was the support system before.
Here you can read one of the articles related to this point.

Thank you for the articles! I didn’t know there were stats like that , because I’m working on something similar .
I think there is a lot of information that new users should know about it. each day i discorve somthing new ..
There are still 1 million accounts to analyze xD
Steemworld has a very useful tool to find out some data related to this.

Wow, you've got your work cut out for you. That's the great thing about being a programmer: they create automated proofreading tools. I'm good at Excel.
1/ Spud4Steem - мероприятие для крупных рыб, коллективное наращивание SP. Видела, что его снова проводят.
3/ Сильно сомневаюсь, что кто-то незаметный ответит на этот вопрос. :) Сама я обычно показываю, все что делаю.
Spud4Steem is for users between 40 and 75 reputation, we decide that it is exclusive to the big ones, pues, the majority has 76 or more reputation. This is the case for guarding awards at the end of my work.
If you enter the platform to read or read your content, you should have a friend who only visits publications to organize your content, and you will not have a good reason without voting or commenting.
Gracias for comparing your criteria.
Вероятно Spud4Steem мероприятие для сообщества. Мне и раньше встречалось мнение о невозможности соревноваться в увеличении SP с крупными пользователями.
Действительно, про меня можно сказать, что я захожу в Steemit ради общения. Я общительный и увлеченный блокчейном человек.
Not all users have the ability to maintain their Steem until the end of the month to power up; some aren't even interested in competing; everyone has a chance, as long as they stay active by sharing content and interacting through comments.
I think it's fine; Steemit is a great place to socialize.
@adeljose! Я давно выделяю вас как умеющего отвечать человека. В умении ответить вы превосходите многих. =)
We strive to stay up-to-date to support those interested in learning and improving their platform experience.
