Voting PowersteemCreated with Sketch.

as I understand it.
........................................................................................................
first off...
if you are plankton or krill

don't worry about it.
until you get sufficient steempower

you do NOT get Curation Awards.
so it doesn't affect you.
the best thing you can do is.

as much as you can.

as often as you can

when you get enough SteemPower to earn curation awards
you are no longer phytoplankton or krill
you are a minnow
.

.
you'll get a slider
.

.
notice it's showing 1%
.
it can be adjusted to anything from 1%
to

.
note: it's not immediately obvious but there are TWO separate sliders.
the vote for COMMENT slider
and
the vote for POST slider.
they can be adjusted separately and left there.
.
for example...when you vote on a comment you might set the slider at..oh...1%
I mean...it's just a comment right
but a post is something different.
if you REALLY like it...set the slider to 100%
if you don't like it so much set it less.
or nothing..
it's up to you.
.
so here's the deal

after your vote power is recharged to max.

notice that mine is NOT
(go to steemstats enter your name..or anyone elses... on the left...and view stats)

.
but I digress

.
what I was getting to was that you can set your
comment vote slider at

that will give you 100 votes for comments.
set your post slider at ...say...25%..that will give you 12 votes at 25% power...
you get to manage your vote power.
isn't that fun?

So how many Steem Power do you need before you get Curation Rewards?

I'm not sure..but I THINK it's 300.
I wasn't quite accurate...you're already getting curation rewards
BUT...

it's too small to see.
like.... .0001 cents each.
steem power makes it more bigger.

the more steempower you get
the more POWAH your vote has

I've just checked my wallet.
I'm currently at 0.597 Steem Power.

6 hours ago i earned 0.003 Steem Power.

This was the first Curation Award I got on this platform.
So It's possible for small accounts to earn Curation awards, you just earn very little

yup...but the more steem power you get..the more your curation awards are.
I'm getting about $5 a day right now...I have 12KSP

Power that up to get started :)

Steem Voter is pretty good. Automatically votes up posts by users who's posts you like and you can set the percentage power it does it by. You earn steem power consistently every day, not much but it's steady and soon adds up.

I would not say posts that you like but those who posts have consistently been rewarded with high payouts so you can hopefully get a bigger share. But having said they you will be sharing with a lot of people who also voted.

As far as I understand it Everyone voting/resteeming a successful post gets something, curation etc?

I thought that resteeming does not count towards to curation.

I think you are right. I check out steem stats and on posts I've upvoted and resteemed it's consistently the same amount of SP returned.

I heard 500

Love all your posts but have to keep my votes for grandchildren and kids, as soon I get a slider I will be there everyday, but still read them thank you

if you don't have a slider you have an effectively unlimited supply of votes...
they're just so tiny you can't see them.
don't worry about it.
go crazy..
or not.

awesome post, thank you

Thank you for this! It helps me comprehend this a bit more. @oklaprepper @weetreebonsai @volcanosquad

you're welcome

:)

Thank You @oilyshumblehome for tagging me for this, I am still unsure of many things here and trying to get a grip on why a person needs to upvote their own postings...

You're welcome my dear! 😁

I like it!

Votes are now more precious after HF19, too many full power votes will deplete your ability to reward very quickly.

nope

Thanks did not know.

Hahaha! At least I've made it out of the plankton/krill phase and am now a full blown minnow...woot woot!! Thanks @everittdmickey for the info!!

What rep is considered plankton?

LOL idk...maybe 25, eh? lol

Cheers man

Steemit is a lot of work;) But good illustrations

Yesterday I heard that you could get a slider when you have more than 500 Steem Power.

I thought that was the default mode, but I bought in with more than 500 SP the first time and had it right away...

It might be 500...I dunno.
I got mine a long time ago and the rules have changed since then.

Nice post, added Steem Stats to my ever expanding amount of steem related bookmarks in my browser :-)

you'll be glad you did
i use it daily....in fact I use it as an interface to Steemit a lot.

Nice work

thanks

your welcome dear

I like I like because of funny pictures and gifs :) upvoted you my funny Steemer friend :D

tankyewtankyew

yurwelcomeyurwelcome

Hi - thx for this, funny too...lol. I am new so am algae bacteria at the moment......how many posts or things do I have to do before I get this golden slider of love?

I'm not sure...somewhere in the 500 SP I think...maybe less.

Love your use of the memes in your post.
Great work.

EDIT: Is it correct you only get a slider once you hit a reputation score of 60?

i don't think reputation matters.
I thought it was SteemPower.
and you need 500
maybe.

ah ok thanks. My confusion sorry.
It doesn't really make much difference to me at the moment anyway as I have neither 60 rep or 500sp. But I'm working on it and I'm enjoying it whilst doing it. I've been on it for 4 months now and I'm still learning things everyday. It's great.

Thanks pal.
See you around.

Thank you for helping me to understand this better. Grasping things as I go and posts like this have been very instrumental in me getting it! :D

you're welcome

See, I didn't know about that. Thought there were just one slider..need to check on esteem. And @everittdmickey you are great at writing out this article in gif talk.

note: it's not immediately obvious but there are TWO separate sliders.
the vote for COMMENT slider
and
the vote for POST slider.
they can be adjusted separately and left there.

thank you
I tell it as I see it.
I could be wrong...I probably am often.
but I try.

Every single time I upvote a post.. I feel like..
