Resource Credit delegation
This. All I use my RC's for (and probably you too), is claiming accounts in the hope that someday I may find I have not wasted my time doing so.
How do you envisage these being used in the future? We both have more than enough of them to delegate if that could be possible.
Yep, #metoo
say there is a pool of RCs at the door of an application. A user can sing up and be given an account that can be delegated to on sign-in but taken away on sign out. That way, there can be a floating amount of RCs that can support many more users as the RCs are unbound. Potentially, this could have several applications draw from it or, have delegation settings that only allow some applications to draw your RCs.
Also, like creating accounts, RCs could be used to create artefacts in a game, for example a customized SM card or additional skins.
I think there are plenty of creative uses for RCs that will be invented once the pools are out there, but it would be nice that if I onboarded my company for example and gave them all free accounts, I could also give them the RCs needed to have a good time commenting and earning their way in.
I can see the possibility of delegating RC's to alleviate the problem that new users have (cant post, cant comment etc..), but right now they have delegated STEEM to take care of it.
Delegating RC's would be much more preferable and would release the STEEM. Hope that can happen soon.
Yes, Steem however is a voting token, RCs are not. Steem can draw on the pool, RCs can't really be abused other than what they allow in interaction. Because of this, RCs could have a zero undelegation time so getting them at the doorand on exit works. Pus, an application can set its own rules and remove RCs to curb activity if needed or use them as an incentive (depending on usecase)
