RE: Help Conserve Bandwidth Usage!
I understand where you are coming from and this is an important topic, but instead of cutting back on interacting on Steem - we should find a solution which fixes the problem instead of delaying it.
Spammers won't care about your proposal - only the good people will care - and those are 99% not spammers.
I'm not familiar with the Code of Steem / Condenser, but it would be great to have the option to delegate bandwith.
Because that way - I could delegate at least 50% of my bandwith (which is pretty much unused) to other users, without needing to give away my Stake of Steem.
@ned @almost-digital @gtg @sneak @ausbitbank @jesta @abit - what are your thoughts on this? Would really appreciate your opinion, since you are a lot more familiar with Steem than I am.

my bandwith is always between 90% - 97%, so that would not be a problem. I'm pretty excited if that will work
Delegate bandwidth only: That is a nice idea. currently you can delegate Bandwidth by delegating SP. Not sure, how this can be separated.
Because bandwidth is directly related to the current reserve ration. -> What your upvote worth is-> your SP
But the separation of those would also give spammers more advantage and incentive. One account for spamming, and one for upvoting. The perfect circle-jerk..
If this were possible, it would bring about great improvement to the majority of active little fish. Being one, I'm in contact with dozens of complaints every single day from the ones who comment the most.
These are friends who would give me good feedback on all my posts in the morning. Now they have to cramp all their usage in the night because days are dead with -10/-50 kB available. (And who's to say spammers don't do the same?)
We have to give priority to quality posters, regardless of size. I think bandwidth delegation would solve a big part of this. (It could even be added to your smartmarket initiative.)
I wasn't proposing that we shouldn't do normal interactions. It is a social network after all. I was just saying that due to the current situation, perhaps we should occasionally reconsider making a comment if it really isn't necessary, for example.
There is no way to delegate only bandwidth, and I'm not sure there should be. I think the excess bandwidth so many users have though, during a time when new users can barely post, is proof it needs to be adjusted.
Maybe the majority of spammers won't care, but that's because they aren't affected, because they have come up with ways to make SP. New users can't even post, while bots make comments all over the place.
I'm only advocating that we tighten our belts, until this gets fixed, because it needs to be fixed.
