Streemian has been a little buggy and way more difficult post HF19. The bot makes over 1000 votes. So, it drains power. It drains so much power that it shots off streemian even when folks do get it running. To avoid this hassle we're adding delegation as a way to membership.
Is membership mandatory? No.
Is membership useful? Social status, skin in the game, manual curation help, and friendlier terms with folks in the channel. Should pay for itself.
How does one do it?
20,000 vest = 10sp
200,000 vests = 100 SP
2,000,000 vests = 1000 SP
You can also use vessel-

@aggroed has switched from streemian to delegation. 1500 delegated SP allows a higher voting power while keeping support going.
Membership still requires steemvoter at 100% on minnowsupport.
