Now at 123 delegates for those keeping score (https://semux.info/delegates)

I didn't expect that many people to pony up the 1000 sem so early, so it seems like a very positive indicator for the level of interest in semux. Once semux hits exchanges my guess is we will rarely see any new delegates registered. Maybe someday there will be a way to rent out these registered but unused delegates to people trying to start a validator Wink

yeah when semux will cost 100$ sell delegate will be new business!! :-)

Delegates are non-transferable in the current software.

We could start a debate at some point with the devs if it would be beneficial to implement allowing renting and maybe even transferring (selling) the delegate status.

There is already a ticket in github about delegating the delegate to another address but it's considered to be a security feature (in this scenario block rewards go back to the address which created the delegate).

Once this is in place (if it ends up implemented) maybe they could add another feature which could be seen as "renting" a delegate: delegate the delegate from address A to address B for N number of blocks AND allow address B to collect the block rewards.

The last of the features for a debate is whether to allow transferring the delegate status (sellig).
