I am also thinking of running a node for Lisk. Will I get any votes from you guys?

I already know of a few that I will vote for for sure like Mal, banana....

If you don't have much more than the cover of the book, this amounts to much.

I completely agree with MalReynolds that sharing reward with voters is simply buing the votes and It doesn't add any VALUE to the project. On the other hand putting your hard work to develop and promote LIsk and projects beeing build on it is adding VALUE. Considering a potential reward $300K+ its clear that just setting up a node on 5$ Vultr it not enough what delegate should do and most likely won't be enough to stay in 101 unless he will pay the voters keep him there.

I hope the competition between delegates will be directed to active promotion  and we gonna win our votes by posting our specific plans how to do so and later what we already done. I think it will be handy if each of us have a one topic on Lisk forum where will be updating his activity.  

In my opinion proper promotion beside hard work needs funds behind and we as delegates gonna have lots of them. The potential revard  $300K+ per year or is just ridiculously high. Of course I would be happy to keep it all, but I also would be happy to have half that sum and additionally satisfaction that I'v done something for the project by popularizing it in my country. I is still a very nice piece of pie to keep me well motivated, and I  even think that keeping all the revard Is a bit unethical to Lisk, considering how big oportunity it gave to us it we should be gratefull and support the project. Thats why Im going to REINVEST a part of the revard (if I'm gonna be voted) in LIsk promotion, the details will be posted on lisk forum.

I also think that the gap between position 101 and 102 will create jealous, only hoping that it will create a drive in them to top 101 by doing something for Lisk and showing it here.  Considering such a HiGH revard per active delegate maybe in future we would need to incerase the amount of Active delegates since there is only specific amount of work and time a one person can sucrafice for the project. Unless the delegates will hire people,  at some point, the revard might be to big and ufair to the rest of comunity.  Maybe 200 or 300 active delegates could do even better job than 100 and it decerase the revard gap between Active and standby delegates, however it would be harder to follow everyone and decide who is actually a doer and shoud earn your vote.

To decerase the gap between active and standby delegates we could for example change the way how the blocks are generated increasing the likehood a specific delegate will be drawn proportionally to the voting power he received. This way active delegates at the end of the list would earn smaller revards. However it might cause that the rich is getting richer effect and its very likely that the pools (the ones who paying for votes) will be on top of the list which means more money for passive people instead active.

Anyone who is not buing votes and plan to do something serious to promote/develop Lisk can coun't on my vote. I trully belive that reinvesting part of revard will actually make delegates  more wealthy, since it incerase the price of Lisk indirectly in the long run.
