I read an article saying that the bandwidth limits are set to hinder spammy type posting, etc. I post once, maybe twice a day and my posts usually only include one photo and not a lot of text. I am also not an excessive voter, maybe 10-12 per day. According to what I have read on all the comments here, my SP should be sufficient. I have been getting this message on and off since Saturday. It's a mystery.

Thank you for offering your help but in my limited understanding of how Steemit works, this seems like a problem larger than your generosity. I am encouraged by people like you willing to help. Keep up the good work.

I continued my observations today of nuggets of wisdom from wildlife and wrote a blog 'Dueling Duo - How impalas manage conflict' with my wildlife photos and musings with a twist. I request you to take a look at it when you have time. Your comments, would be an encouragement and incentive for me to make better blogs. Thanks

gregario (55) · 7 years ago (edited)

Thank you for the kind offer. I could certainly make good use of it. Yesterday I could not participate in Steemit for about 5 hours, I think. I got the bandwith limit error message.

But I have 118 SP, plus 27 delegation. I believe the blocking is because I voted too much, since my voting power was something like 73%. But maybe this is not the cause.

Perhaps you can give me advice on how to avoid this.

neoxian (70) · 7 years ago

Try to be more efficient. Are you casting 100 %1 votes? Do 10 10% votes instead. Make one really smart comment instead of 10 "nice post" style comments, things like that.

gregario (55) · 7 years ago

Thank you. I cannot regulate the % of voting power. I think that is only possible when you have more than 500 SP. If there is a way to regulate voting power with less than 500 SP, it would be great if you told me how.

Thank you for the generous offer to help the network. I had the problem an hour or so ago, but have been able to post again just now (guess this will be another test?) I have like 8 steem dollars at moment. Could this be happening because the price of steem just dropped under a dollar??

I'm curious about this system message, because I should be completely fine if it's based of amount of SP (2k SP+2k delegated=4k total SP) yet I got this message earlier.

It seemed like a glitch because afterwards I could still do actions just the same as before. Any thoughts on this @neoxian? Note: I've been experimenting with lots of 1% votes, so that could be related.

$0.91

neoxian (70) · 7 years ago

fitinfun (71) · 7 years ago

I had this message earlier today and now I am ok. I really have no idea what this even means, but someone told me to lighten up on my photo uploads. So I will only use a jpeg for the first photo and pngs for the rest.

I was also told only to empty (?) the wallet once per day instead of any random time you see it has money.

Today I have this in my Steem power:
18.477 STEEM
(+27.575 STEEM)
I have no idea what that means either. Can you provide any help or explanation? I'm pretty sure I had 25 steem in parentheses when I started, but my 3+ weeks here are mostly a blur now.

I really appreciate your offer to help, but I am not in any chats and don't understand the concept at all. I am not good in real time.

I only got on fb to push my message, and then Twitter and Pinterest and on and on. Now I'm trying steemit due to the amazing Alexa ranking.

Old lady alert! Just trying to push my health and weight loss message and so confused! Still swimming though :)

neoxian (70) · 7 years ago

You have about 18 steem power and someone is lending you 27 sp. In theory you should be fine now, but we'll see.

Also, the photos don't matter at all since they are not stored in the blockchain.

fortified (66) · 7 years ago

Hello. Welcome to Steemit.

The best bit of advice I can give you for now is don't even think or worry about STEEM, Steem Power or $SBD fo rthe 1st few month. Just keep writing and posting. It is a long and slow process with many stages to understand and reap the reward from Steemit. I didn't even look at my wallet for the first 3.5 months.

Hope this helps.

@fortified

fitinfun (71) · 7 years ago

I am trying to ignore it, but I'm getting the bandwidth exceeded error, so I think I at least need to understand enough of this to avoid getting locked out on and off. I can't post or do anything else when I am locked out and I do not know what I am doing wrong.

Someone told me not to empty the wallet unless there is SP in it so that you get more power. I have no idea if this is correct. Someone else said on one of these threads that he had 200+ SP and it still happened to him, so I have no idea if .001 SP would even be a help to me if I get it.

I'm not sure. With your 200 SP you should be fine normally, it could be that the blockchain is getting more spam than usual. It's unclear.

Judging from some of the other replies here it seems that I'm not the only one it's happened to. Whatever it is is very interesting, hopefully it's not going to be much of a problem in the future.

It seems there might be a few little gremlins playing around with the inner workings of steemit right now, I remember seeing last week someone post about a resteem that disappeared.

I have seen this issue on and off for a few days. I have less than 1 SP but 27 SP delegated. It appears to happen in high load periods and hence the higher power users get into the block first, the minnows get biffed out.

Hi , I signed up for Steemit about 2-3 weeks ago . I finally completed my first article after long hours of formatting on Steemit. When I hit the "post" button, I am getting this error message: c::raw::pack_size(trx) <= (get_dynamic_global_properties().maximum_block_size - 256): I've never posted anything here before, I've only commented 3 times and upvoted 3 times (if I remember correctly) in the past few weeks. All I have done has been formatting / editing my article a few hours per day the past week or two. Does anyone know when I will be able to post my first article or why this is happening? This is extremely discouraging because since it is in Steemit format (Markdown) I can't just post it at my blog right away because I will have to spend hours reformatting it, re-uploading pictures, etc. And I can't earn cryptocurrency on my blog. The article is controversial. Am I being censored? It also has a lot of photos, is the size too large? I have already tried posting on 2 different computers today and get the same message.
