Not enough power ????
When I first came onto steemit , I realize that there were some accounts which had a negative number see in their wallet.
Why borrow out your power ?
Here are reasons which I can think of why
- For indirect monetary gains
- To help friends / family to get started on steemit
- Taking a break from steemit / Holiday
How to delegate your steempower to someone
You can run this url and it would literally delegate 50 SP from @myach account to @bitrocker2020 account. If you are looking at more SP you can increase the vesting_share amount. ( eg. vesting_shares=1035360 would be around 500 Steem Power )
