LUV in need.

There's no need to beat around the bush here. The account that distributes LUV is in need of Resource Credits (RCs) to keep the LUVbot running steadily. So...

If you have any RCs to spare, would you consider delegating some to @LUVshares?

Checking your RCs is easy. Delegating RCs is easy. Three tools I know of are:

1. PeakD.com - go to your wallet, then click the magnifying glass icon, then choose “RC delegation”
2. Ecency.com - choose your “Profile”, then “Resource Credits”
3. https://primersion.com/rc

Personally, I have nearly all of my RCs delegated (90+% or so) and still interact fine on chain. It depends on how much HP you have, but there's a good chance delegating RCs wouldn't even be noticed. Plus, if you ever delegate and then change your mind, you can always simply undelegate or adjust the delegation amount.

Given the current LUV RC situation, I see three possible things that could happen and three outcomes:

1. LUVshares gets more RCs and LUV goes on.
2. Some changes are made to slow the rate that LUV is given out. This would be done by raising the required amount of LUV needed to be held in order to call the bot command.
3. With no change, given the current RC drawdown rate, the LUVbot will eventually stop. (To be clear, I think it would still run, only in a very sputtering and broken cycle as RCs are replenished, spent, bot stops, RCs replenished, spent, bot stops, etc.)

Thanks for reading and for any consideration on this.

Here's some more information on Resource Credits from the HiveWiki.

Edit: Some wonderful Hivers have stepped up and delegated some RCs to @LUVshares. I mention this because if you look at https://hiveblocks.com/@luvshares you'll see the current RC amount. Right now as I type, it looks great (thanks to those Hivers!). You might wonder, "Why is he asking for more RCs? Plenty are there!"

Earlier today, LUVshares' RCs were slowly but steadily drawing down and had been for several days. RCs are like continually pouring water into a bucket that has a hole in the bottom. The water (RCs) flow in at a steady rate from the spigot. The water (RCs) flow out out a steady rate as well. If the outflow is faster than the inflow, like this morning, the bucket would soon be empty. Thanks to those Hivers today, the inflow is now faster than the outflow.

Going forward, we'll see what happens. The crypto winter seems to be thawing a bit. That's great! With that thawing there might be a renewed interest in engagement tokens, like LUV. If that transpires, and if more users begin sharing LUV with other Hivers, then the hole in the bucket would grow, the outflow of RCs would increase, and things would need to be reassessed again.

For now, thank you to those who delegated! The Hive community is wonderful. 😃
