More PAL and Partiko

It has taken most of the day to decide which of these topics to talk about, so they are coming together into one post today.

Partiko

I was originally going to suggest that the likes of @misterdelegation and @steemit consider @partiko for, in their terms, a small delegation of around 100,000 SP. However, as @partiko have been rather quiet and cryptic of late, I've decided not to push that too hard as yet. The reason for the suggestion though is as follows:

Right now, @partiko have claimed 2312 account tokens, and have created 2312 accounts from these tokens, and for the past 3 weeks they have been claiming accounts and using all these claims each day. There is clearly a backlog of accounts to be created, and it's not because the system isn't working or someone is being lazy, they are short on RCs. As well as being low on RC's each day, they also seem to be delegating 15 SP to many of the new accounts they create, making it tougher to grow their account.

And were it not for the kind delegations of over 100 Steemians, the on-boarding efforts of @partiko would have fallen way short of the numbers above.

I'm not well up on @partiko rewards, but I understand that the delegators receive votes on their content relative to the size of the delegation (and dependent on their use of the @partiko app?). With that being said, much respect to @gcalex who has been largely quiet over the past 6 months, and left us with this welcome reminder last time out.

I estimate that his(?) SP delegation to @partiko is responsible for the RCs required to onboard over 1000 users since last November.

Today I visited the @partiko discord, and it was eerily quiet. I did however speak to a 'partner' who informed me that the lead developer had relocated for a short period and that this must have been important, for him to drop tools on @partiko for the time being. I think in light of the recent exit by magicdice, and dlive last year, folks are overly concerned about apps moving away from Steem. I'm hopeful normal service will be resumed soon but we shall see.

PAL / palnet.io

This will be my second post with #palnet in the tags after subtly stating that I will be tagging all my posts with #palnet from now on. (which means that those who have staked their PAL tokens will get rewarded for upvoting my posts, at a rate of 50% author, 50% curator) See, subtle.

And those that kindly visited yesterday will be sharing half of of this, although it is 6 days away from payout and 1 downvote is free over on PAL.

Yesterday I put in a buy order for 1000 PAL at 99 STEEM and most of the order was taken at that price - I had to pay a little more for the final 150 or so. Today I've bought another batch at a higher price and now hold 3000 invested PAL. Part of me wants to throw a load more STEEM into PAL, but I shall resist, and gain value by suggesting to friends (Hi Eve) that they power up their PAL and start using the tag.

Now we are getting paid in at least 2 tokens whilst creating content, the self-vote feeling within is starting to emerge again - I shall resist for now, but what if we are at some point being rewarded with 5/6/7 tokens for our effort. I can see it being tough to resist - maybe one selfie a day will be OK? :)

Alright, I'm going to game away from the Steem game a little more, and I shall speak to you later.

Cheers

Asher
