This post is answering a question by Hive account@intishar in a Thread Transferring Hive-Power? in Leothreads .

Well, I think you're right Hive account@intishar — I misunderstood your question.
You asked about transferring Hive Power (HP), not HIVE tokens.

There are two main ways to transfer Hive Power:
The first one is the known one Power Down to have your HIVE liquid:
When Power Down You initiate a "power down" from your own account. This converts your HP back into liquid HIVE over a period of 13 weeks (1 week at a time). Once the HIVE is available, you can then transfer that HIVE to another account. The recipient can then power it up to convert it into HP on their own account. This is an indirect way to move HP.
I think the one you can explore more is Delegation (Leasing), we know we get some benefits on Delegating, depending to who: As mentioned by Hive account@suzn.poudel, you can delegate (or lease) your Hive Power to another account. This gives them the voting power and bandwidth benefits of your HP without you losing ownership. You can undelegate it at any time. This is the most common and direct way to "transfer" the use of HP to someone else.
So, while you can't directly send HP like you send HIVE, you can either power it down to HIVE first and send that, or delegate it for temporary use.

And one more could be to transfer directly to someone as Power Up. I am not 100% sure about this, it looks I did it transfering to a friend a small amount not in liquid HIVE but into a Power Up from my Liquid HIVE to another account.

Thanks for pointing out my mistake!
