Day 103 - 5 Minute Freewrite: Tuesday - Prompt: cracker

Well, 10 votes evenly spaced out. If you make them all at once, they'll take less than 24 hours to recover.

Nope, they take 24 hours :) if you go to steemworld.org it gives you a nice little clock that shows you how long it takes to recover. If you space them out, each vote has the highest value. Your 100% vote value goes down as your voting power goes down....

I think you understand, but you said nope... if you make them all at once, you'll use up less than 20% of your voting power. The first vote is worth 2%, but the next is 2% of your remaining voting power, so only 1.96%... and so on. Which means after 10 votes (if you made them all at once - within a negligible timeframe) you'd still have more than 80% voting power, which takes less than 24 hours to recharge...

This is what the article I wrote was about. There's a misunderstanding amongst many Steemians about how VP usage and recharging works.

I am going to do that tomorrow with my husband's account and see how much the time difference really is :) I would think now more than a few minutes - and I am not that detail oriented.
We shall see if it is really enough to deviate from the general advice of 24 hours...

It'll be at 85% if you make all the votes as quickly as possible (30 seconds total). That means it would take approximately 20 hours to recharge.
