SteemPower Investments Structural Proposal
SPI token has a lot of people intrigued. It's a great idea. The ability to diversify your portfolio while keeping it in the Steem ecosystem. However, there is one problem holding people back from buying SPI at the moment: it's a bit too centralized. And people on Steemit love decentralized things! It's a little bit more difficult to do this since the Steem is being powered up and only the APR is being used, but this is my proposal. It's a rough idea, but I hope it can be used to pave a way to a more distributed approach.

<center>*(These are just random names of people)*</center>

Yes it does make things more complex, but I think it will increase the token sales of SPI. Reputable people in the community can make an alt account (@schubes.spi for example) and hold part of the SPI pool. They can send over the delegation earnings to @spinvest once a week. This way people who already follow that person or believe they are a trustworthy person will be more willing to purchase SPI since they know who is holding their Steem. Each new .spi account could hold 5K Steem and then move to a higher number as the total amount of tokens increases (5K is only 0.5% of the total supply). I also wrote down people potentially holding different assets for the fund which would could be balanced out with the amount of Steem they hold (more Steem holding but less assets or more assets with less Steem holding). 

The incentive for holding one of these accounts would be first of all to help an interesting project and second of all people who give you their Steem to hold have a vested interest in following your account which can be good if you are a content creator. 

I think this idea will resonate with a lot of people who are on the fence on buying more SPI tokens. This is the only way I can see this working on a large scale unless you plan or are a fund manager.

As for the voting system I would say that there should be tiers and at each tier you get an extra vote. This would incentive people to hold more and also keep a balance so that each SPI holder's vote is still worth something. (10 SPI= 1 Vote, 25 SPI = 2 Votes, 50= 3 Votes, 100 SPI = 4 Votes, etc).

<center>Thanks for reading as always!

Good Morning,

You bring up many interesting points, I believe that as the word spreads, decentralization will occur!

Hey man, great with alot of interesting points brought up. 

Im ok with having different accounts held by different people. It would need to be a small number of accounts are we run a higher risk of someone doing a runner. I know myself and i know my integrity. Another concern would be that account holder's would have to be unpaid due to future investment club rules and it's hard work to work for free. It also makes it harder to get a true value of the SPI token if investments are being held by different people as well. Holding an asset like BTC is easy but having to actively hunt down lease's at the best rates are use connections to get even better off market rates can be time taxing and people might be all for it when they start but after 1 year, it'll be an unpaid chore done half assed. Of course, there are always loop holes and account holders could be considered an overhead in some shape are form. If we paid for an auditor, its an overhead. Something to look into but im down with the concept. It would take some of the responibility off my shoulders and give me others to blame if it goes tits up. (that part a joke, haha). But i like it and it would decentilize the whole thing. Now, where do you find people you can trust with potentially 100k+ SP? I guess private keys would need to be shared. 

I like to voting idea and something along the lines of being weighted depending on how many token to hold is most fair i think. 

Great post man, keep the ideas coming

I understand where you are going with decentralization but overall feel like it would make the project less reliable.  The more wheels you add the more you have to worry.  I know that @silverstackeruk wants the project to succeed and would never do anything to hurt it, but we have seen other people say the best of things in a community to get what they want and then screw the others.  
Just my view is that there is a main driver here and as long as he can handle it let him go at it.  If it gets too big then the ideas can be revisited.
Great idea on the voting service though.  
Thanks for sharing!!

Interesting ideas, @schubes, although I'm wary of bringing in other accounts at this stage. There's a difficult balance between covering contingencies, scaling and ensuring accountability. I'm interested in seeing the agreement that @spinvest is drafting. The voting arrangements sound interesting, I'll have to think about that a little more.
