I've been a fan of SMTs since the early days of Steem. I came here for the blogging, but was enamored by the idea of SMTs which is why Hive-Engine drew me in so deeply about 1 1/2 years ago when it was first launched.

Your mindset is the right one: spend the time/resources laying down the pipes and foundation to allow other people to buidl. That's the future of Hive but it takes a long-term mindset to make it happen since the instant gratification won't be there for projects like that.

Also the resource delegation/pools feature would be huge. We've been building out our own onboarding solutions for Leo and we can now easily onboard accounts up to the thousands and even low tens of thousands. The issue we then run into is that scaling up from there will require a massive amount of RCs and account claims that would be inefficient to handle by ourselves (inefficient in the sense that there are thousands of HP stakeholders out there with dormant RCs).

If we could rent these dormant RCs and utilize a pool for our onboarded users, it would be incredibly more efficient than staking an endless amount of HP to supply them directly from our official account(s) AND would provide a greater incentive for other investors to power up HIVE, HODL and earn from RC delegations.

@splinterlands has been experiencing this issue of inefficiency as well as they delegate ~10HP to each new user of the game. The demand for features like this are here already and are only destined to grow as more buidlers come to Hive.
