Whats Up STACKERS!Β 


It's one of those nights when you boy @stackin must rest his "Voting Power" because I've been "Curating" AKA "Upvoting" like crazy for the last few weeks draining my "Special Powers" 🀣

For all the new "Steemians" or "Minnows" out there,Β The more "Steem Power" you have, the more your upvotes will be depending on your Voting Power Percentage.Β πŸ’―

You see, we get a certain amounts of upvotes a day. In other words, everyone starts at 100% from the beginning and for each 100% upvote that you do, your power drains 2% and this power drain can be regeneratedΒ within 2 hours. πŸ”‹

The optimal Voting Power Percentage should always be above 80% to maximize your curation rewards. πŸ’Έ πŸ’Έ πŸ’Έ

The best place to check your "Voting Power" is at steemnow.com/@stackin.Β As you can tell from above, I should take my own advice as I've been around 60% for a couple of weeks but slowly creeping up higher today... What can I say, I sometimes can't help myself from voting for my peeps. πŸ˜‚

I'm going to be taking 24 hours off from "upvoting" just to power up a tad bit so that I can maximize my "curation rewards" so that you guys can get higher upvotes from me. πŸ€‘

So is your Voting Power Percentage Important? Yes it is! There are lots of new people here voting nonstop with very low voting power. This will give you less upvoting power and low curation rewards. ‍♂️

So in other words, try to optimize your "curation rewards" by staying above the 80% mark and monitor it daily. Hope this little tip helps you guys out.

Have an great "Friday Night" Guys! Keep On STACKIN! πŸ’ž

Try to vote every 1.5 hours while you are awake and you should always wake up at 100% or very close to it

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I always love to hear from you and learn new perspective towards the things. You are a great genius my friend.

I spent yesterday recharging my vote power. Gotta keep it 100%...

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I can tell, I don’t get upvotes from ya πŸ˜‰πŸ€£

My bad bro. I hit you with a full vote πŸ‘πŸΌ

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I hit you with 100% upvotes all the time:-) Did you see the post I did on Contests? I threw some props your way... https://steemit.com/contest/@jaquith/new-on-steemit-try-contests-if-you-have-never-won-a-contest-read-until-the-end#comments

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

If I upvote my power is down.
My power is auto full but I don't know how to increase and decrease.

Thabk you for sharing.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I thought that in a perfect world you want to NEVER let your voting power fill up to 100%, give out 100% votes to people sometimes, but never let the account fill up, keep it in the 80% to 90% range, but never fill up becasue it is basically wasting money... I learned this the hard way, mine sat at 100% for over a month

It's important that it's why I only use 10% of my power every 12 hours to keep it between 90-100 % and get the most out upvotes! however, if you only use steemit once a day you can get away with going down as low as 80%.

I use https://steemnow.com/@raybilson to check my power!

Thank you so much for this info, I've been trying to figure out how voting power and voting regeneration works for weeks but every post I read is 8 months old and the info is totally wrong because its outdated..... Thank you so much again lol

Ha Ha, that's my Friend !

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Hey man @stackin, this is so freaking awesome, where have i been all these while? men! you give out such good stuffs, i am new on the platform and have seen where i have been doing things wrong. Thanks for this post

i just got to follow you right away so i can have access to more of your value.

not going to ask you upvote but you might need to just encourage me in your own way.

You the best man!

Thanks for the tip, I'm an obsessive compulsive upvoter myself lol. How much steem power do you need before you can adjust your voting power?

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

The esteem phone app and busy.org give all users a vote adjuster regardless of steem power so you can adjust the weight of your vote if you login there. They are also Steem block explorers so they see the identical information as your account on the Steemit.com portal.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Very cool, thx... I always feel like such a newbie... I gotta figure this out...

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

There's a lot happening on the Steem blockchain... its hard to keep up!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thanks for the tip, I totally forgot about busy.org πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

I'll have to check into those. Thank you

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I totally agree lol ... you just need 500 Steem to start adjusting. For all the new people, they should just vote around 9-11 times a day until they do.

Cool thanks for that. I was hoping it was more like 100 sp but that's good to know.

Don't you get 20 full power votes a day?

Thanks stackin, a very good post.
Please feel free to take a look at this portal.
In my opinion, the best tool on the market.

Thanks Bossman! I seen that a few times and used it, great site! 😎

Every body is asking for upvotes before you go, fine I need one too, my girlfriend wants a new phone πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Most people won’t even upvote my stuff and just comment lol

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Gotta recharge your batteries!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Once a month kinda deal, It's Friday night in las Vegas and also decided not to go out and "recharge my batteries" lol

I also learn some gpood ares from steemit
thanks for sharing your information keep it up wish you all the best

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Just droppin' some knowledge like Tai Lopez lol

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I think the best is 80-100%

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Totally right, got to keep it up 80% min at all times :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

wow.....thank u so much for good advice...your information is very useful....@stackin

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

πŸ™ŒπŸΌ πŸ™ŒπŸΌ πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

Well no Upvoted today, that's what that means :(
Thanks for the info though

Thank you, learned some good areas of steemit and minnows. I hope, my curation rewards will worth it.

Thank you for this information ,,, really helped me as a beginner :)

I take breaks from voting every night when I go to sleep. :) lol

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Resteemed! I wasnt aware of this til a couple of days ago by that time my voting power was 30%... still waiting for it to regenerate so no upvote πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Haha, yeah I had lots of stuff to learn when I first started. I was voting like crazy at first but learned real fast that I had to regenerate my power πŸ˜‚

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thanks for sharing i will done upvote I always see your post. And follow you

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

&#127975 phenomenal & l!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

It's a nice thing to take a break from upvoting especially for minnows like me who have small voting power. This is to maximize our rewards on curations.

Thanks for sharing

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Just a quick 1 day recharge lol :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thanks for the valuable information for me. Understand newcomers boss .. success always πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

thats pretty cool to know..
thanks for sharing.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Yup voting power is definitely important. At 100% a minnows with 15SP can atleast get 0.01 upvote. If only voting power can recover much quicker. Actually scratch that, people will definitely abuse the system when that happened.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Yeah, I knew when I first started that I needed some Steem Power. After 2 weeks, I went to buy 500 Steem and it was a good decision. :)

Thanks for the information

This post has received gratitude of 4.52 % from @appreciator thanks to: @stackin.

You need the rest .... You always upvote for fun i must say!!!
I am not complaining ... i actually like your style.
You try to carry everyone along!!!
Happy 24 hours rest :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

My backs been hurting a lot carrying everyone jk LOL :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Sorry man πŸ˜‚

Thanks for the information.
Great to share
Upvote

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

you right at your poin but leave you without voting except comments make you disappointed!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Yeah but next time you come here, my upvote on comments should be twice as much :)

Thank you for this information, I've learned few things about upvoting people.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

This post has received a 9.43 % upvote from @booster thanks to: @stackin.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Just curious, is the amount of your upvote the same regardless of reputation and is ONLY based on SP, or is it a combination of SP and REP?

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Rep is just social media indicator that your bustin out good stuff and not getting flagged a lot πŸ˜€

Thanks for the education @stackin. Followed.

WoW this is nice to take rest as every one needs rest other wise we are
Robot's ha ha ha
@maujmasti
Thanks for posting

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I thougth if I voted, that will be back in a day (but it came back in around 2 hrs). Seems like I've been at 100% for several hrs before voting.

Well, I voted this so fast, can't waste my voting power! πŸ˜…

hi stackin i have landed on your article first time, i have learned most valuable thing about the steem voting power, i am very thankful for your post. i have followed you ,please post awesome article in future

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

this is great investing sir and thanks for sharing this, this is something new to me.

What can I say, I sometimes can't help myself from voting for my peeps.

I know how you feel, my VP is alway around 70% because when i have more than that i usually just go crazy on upvoting content that i like xD
I will do the same thing you are doing, ill save my VP today, no upvoting today for me

I think Voting Power is so much important. There are many newbies. I am also a newbies. I always try to get attention and try to post good contents so that I can get upvotes and make some money. But the voting power is low of the voter who want to upvote then i won't get much revenue. So, Voting Power is most important. It's the reality. @stackin

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

how it feels like :D

Thank you stackin for this tip,
now i know how to mange my account and when i have to take a break to recharge my voting power.
seems for me, there is a lot to learn here.

I'll definitely need a break soon. I just went on a voting spree down to 20%.

The good news is overvoting doesn't really lower the total amount of rewards you can give or curation you get - it just diffuses it over many more data points.

Hey @yinaury - this is a good run down on how voting power works :) I tried explaining yesterday but this is pretty solid.
P.s - thanks for your upvotes @stackin!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Back when 100%

This is useful advice, which I try to follow, but not always is obtained... Zotya my voice weighs still very little(

I like how that site you mentioned shows how many hours until your full, I normally use SteemDB but I don't think it shows you that.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Hi @stackin =). It also happens to me to lower my voting power too much, even now I am on 70% ... But I find it hard not to return the support of the many supporters I have, and often I vote more than I should, also because I spend a lot in voting comments on my posts.

But sometimes I'm forced to suspend the vote for 1 day, otherwise we can not recover anymore :).

Thanks for clarifying this issue. I spent a lot of the day yesterday messing with @inertia 's Dr Phil upvote bot which lets you upvote EVERYBODY .. which is really nutso but I guess if you are a whale and have lots of power to burn, you can make a mint on massive upvoting, so a bot would work for you. But clearly for a minnow I cant really vote more than 20-40 times per day so having a bot do it doesnt make a lot of sense unless I limit it to a list of say ten people and maximize my profit by timing the vote just right .. not that I understand the details of that ..
All that said, the Ruby implementation of @inertia 's bot is totally cool and it's fun to look at curation bots work ...

I never let mine hit 100% because if I do that means I totally just wasted it! I seem to average around 80% as 20% recoups in 24 hours. Keeping it around that level works well or if I know i'm going to have to take a day off ill vote even more down to 60% levels. I say a majority is spent on comments on my own posts for valued comments I like rewarding my readers however I use some for upvoting others posts as well such as yourself!

Voting power should always be around 100% each new day to maximise it's potential use.

well played - keep stackin

Steem on bro @stackin.
