Power up for newbies (Voting weight too small? Get more than $20 in SP delegation for free)

in steemit •  8 years ago  (edited)

TL;DR: I have over $20 000 worth of STEEM POWER delegation that I am willing to give for free for a limited period of time to users (~$20 to each user) who have difficulty using the Steem platform in a normal way, because the value of their accounts is too low.

If you get the error:

"Voting weight is too small, please accumulate more voting power or steem power."

then you are one of the users affected by this situation.

As a result of various factors, including the high price of STEEM, some low-powered accounts, typically the newly-created ones, may have insufficient bandwidth (in other words, not enough Steem Power) even for non-excessive usage.

You can think of it as a game where beginners try to play with their low-level characters and can do only very basic actions, so they quickly get tired. What I want to do is lend you good armor and a few artifacts to help you have an easier start.

If your account has less than 15 STEEM POWER (both own and delegated) and you have trouble voting, posting or commenting because of that, or you would like to just get a nice bonus for start, please let me know in a comment below.
(Or if you can't, contact me (Gandalf) on steemit.chat)

I will temporarily delegate 20k VESTS to you, which is currently worth over $20.

steempowerdelegation.png

This will give you not only more bandwidth to perform actions on the Steem platform, but also more influence: your upvotes will be more powerful and your curation rewards will be bigger.

Bla, bla, bla (some technical note):
@timcliff's idea about increasing block size to 128k can help with bandwidth requirements for other transactions such as posts, comments, and transfers. Unfortunately voting is a different story. All because of: #define STEEMIT_VOTE_DUST_THRESHOLD (50000000)

I reserve the right to discontinue this action at any time, withdraw the delegation without giving any reasons, and choose not to delegate Steem Power at my own discretion.

EDITs:
Good news: Steemit increased delegation so this issue should be mostly gone, I've changed requirement to <15 STEEM POWER (both own and delegated)
Please check your wallet before commenting here: In most cases issue should be already gone and you should have enough Steem Power already delegated to your account

Many thanks to @fukako for the graphic made for the purpose of this post.
(25% of SBD rewards will be transferred to her)



If you believe I can be of value to steem, please vote for me (gtg) as a witness on Steemit's Witnesses List or set (gtg) as a proxy that will vote for witnesses for you.
Your vote does matter!

I don't need a donation, I can buy steem and steem dollars on bittrex. And I'm willing to grow here organically anyway. So, with that out of the way, the reason for my comment is just to thank you for the gaming metaphor, which made me completely understand what is happening here in less than three sentences. Well done! Thanks!

Thank you for your comment! Actually I'm lobbying in favor of gamification since the beginning (unfortunately lack of UI/UX skills). I'm sure it would help this site to grow even faster.

I'm with you on that.

Yes that will be good, this site does need more perceived structure and not everyone playing spy vs spy.

This reply made almost $5 purely because you're already doing well. Get the problem? It's the same thing as a city. Do everything to get rid of losers?

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

That reply was 9 months ago during my first two weeks on the platform, but I got well known since then by actually showing up nearly 24 hours a day and doing the work to build massive communities and not crying about fairness because I was not raised in an age where everybody gets a blue ribbon or skips facts to make themselves a victim. Get the problem?

Good job! :-)

lol wow.

there is not error like this post for me.
But it was not fun, when i vote someone, just voted up less then single cent!
I can't check my voting is works.
I think, It was the matter, steemit newbie was gone out like me.

There's no such error for you because you have already much more Steem Power than threshold that I'm writing about. Your vote does make a difference but sometimes it's too low to affect potential payout, when rounded to 1 cent. Especially when you take a look at it in early stage of voting.
This works and you can check it easily - you are actually getting curation rewards.

Thanks for your reply. I will find about curation and your link!

Hi, @gtg! Please, delegate some power to me. Big thanks! I want to know about steem platform and recommend to my friends, also i share all new info for them and i see changes.

Hello Maxim, you currently have >27 Steem Power delegated to your account :-) You can check those amount in your wallet (delegated amount is in brackets). That should be more than enough for normal interactions with site. Good luck.

Great!!! Thank you, @gtg! I send your article to my brothers, coz they are keen on new technologies, eth and science. See you!

Great initiative. I am a newbie with less than 15 Steel power. I have bren actively trying to participate and bond in the community. A little help from your soḍe in delegates Steem power will go a long way in supporting my efforts. Thanks in advance.

oh ok. Sorry. Did not know that though I had studied the guidelines etc

No problem, I'm aware that it is not easy to get familiar with all that Steem platform specifics, but don't worry, it just need some more time. :-)

Great! My account gets this issue sometimes. Would love more voting power I can give to my followers and to people which posts I enjoy. Thanks in advance! @gtg

Shouldn't be the case anymore, you currently have received 301k VESTS :-)

You're awesome @gtg !

Thank you for helping the new members

thanks I will make sure I use it judiciously

Awesome initiative @gtg !

I actually kept getting this error yesterday and two days ago, but once i waited it out for a couple hours it went away.

Your help will be much appreciated, especially for people like me, who tend to upvote ALOT of things! As a result, I will resteem this post for more visibility and will vote you as witness, as anyone with your love for the community deserves to be voted!

Let's all vote for @gtg guys! Maybe he'll reach no 1 spot!

delegated 20k VESTS

Thanks alot @gtg ! You are one of the people that makes this platform amazing!

Thank you :-)
What is great about this platform is that there are hundreds of people involved in improving it.

I think you had a great idea to help the steem community. I'm a newbie too. I feel the same problem on my skin. If you can help me, thanks in advance.

Great initiative to help minnows like me and other new comers. Thank you!

By the way what is Steemit's Witnesses ?
I have voted you!

Witnesses are providing infrastructure for Steem platform, generating blocks that contain all Steem operations, providing reliability and security for the network.
Thank you for your vote.

Thanks for replying!

Thank you for your offer to the young steemians!

Thx!! for this great initiative!

That's a great thing to do for the community. The success of Steemit will certainly grow with power users like you behaving like that. So cool!


You are being followed by a coin puppet!

Please follow it back ;)

Thank you :-)

What a lovely thing to do, your very kind :)

Thank you :-)

I think this is a great initiative. @gtg ftw! :P

Thank you :-)

Don't need the donation (I'm just over 15), but thanks for supporting those that do!

Sure :-) Good luck.

Love the though and heart behind the post man. Wish you lots of success.

Thank you :-)

I'm trying my hand at working my way up with awesome original content, but have been trolling around thanking more influential users for posts like this...so simply a heartfelt thanks, from a determined minnow.

For every post I see hocking spun crap, I find someone else sharing just to share, and I'm loving it.

I just took a look at your post - nice! :-)
Was a bit hard to find because of re-steems.
While it is not obligatory, please consider creating #introduceyourself post to get some more attention and attract potential followers that share your fields of interest.
Good luck! :-)

Sweet of you to answer— so are you saying that my re-steeming items is diluting my own content? (Sorry, just working on figuring this all out.) I've only re-steemed a few things that I've really appreciated thus far.

Case in point: I actually did write an introduction post. It didn't do very well at all in terms of connecting me to anyone new, which is fine; I have to earn it. But I did notice that posts from scraped and flipped accounts that went gangbusters, comparatively. Going to have to watch and learn to see if time of day or whatever has a solid impact on performance. WAGH SO MUCH I DON'T KNOW.

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

Some people like re-steeming some people don't. If I go to someone's blog I wan't to see their own content. Seeing content that they like would be good as an option, currently however you can't turn it on/off.

Oh dear, your introduction post is awesome! :-)

I've already upvoted it but I'm going to spread a word.

Please take a look at official welcome page and list of frequently asked questions. If there would be still something unclear, try to find some help on #help channel on steemit.chat or if all that would fail, contact me directly: Gandalf on chat.

I think that's fair. With very few followers, my re-steems are not too useful yet anyways. I'm happy to vote and throw my minnow-weight at the things I like.

Thanks for the big ups; it's really encouraging to see that people are into the weird stuff I've spent my life chasing! I'll spend some time poking around in all these resources to see if I can't be a better minnow and do some growing :/

I've just delegated you a bit for some time for easier start. Good luck :-)

oh, thanks! I shall go spread the wealth, judiciously yet responsibly.

I'm such a nwebie that I don't really know how this steem power works but this articule seems to be helpful, thank you :)

Don't worry, you would get used to all that Steem weirdness ;-)

That is so awesome of you. Thank you! You have my vote!

Thank you :-)

This is very kind right on brother

Thank you :-)

There are some good people out there!
Thank you!
@gtg

It was very informative, for as long as it was translated by my translator. Thank you.

Hiya, I am not eligable, but i thought I would chime in to say what a great opportunity you are giving away.You go girl!

Not a girl, but thank you ;-)

Opps! You Go Guy! 😅

:-)

Thanks @gtg for helping out all of us. Much appreciated

My pleasure, in the end we all would benefit from the platform growth. :-)

Appsolutely @gtg

I love to vote! .02 really helps a lot honestly speaking 😂😂😂

seriously man, hats off
Nlt only you everybody who are the king's here should donate sp to those who need it.

Thank you for contributing steem powers to newbies who wants to grow up here.

Thank you, good luck :-)

Thank you !! It means a lot
Can you please share any tip for us ?

Please take a look at official welcome page and list of frequently asked questions. If there would be still something unclear, try to find some help on #help channel on steemit.chat.

Thank you

Wow, what an amazing response. I'm just commenting on what an admiral thing that your are doing @gtg. Your article is well taken by the community and it's getting a lot of attention. Thanks for caring.

Thank you :-)

"Voting weight is too small, please accumulate more voting power or steem power."

That is exactly what I am facing right now. My power is just 1.24...I think I need your help. Do you need prove or supporting for that? like print screen or whatever..

Anyway, thanks so much for your help!

No need to prove anything. This platform is completely transparent so everyone can see everything. Please note that aside from your own SP, you also have delegated amount (that in brackets)
delegated 20k VESTS

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi @gtg! You'll be proud of this newbie. I figured how to finally move some Steem from bittrex to this platform. It's small potatoes for now. But, I finally figured out that even a little bit makes a difference. Just bought a little more from bittrex and am moving it over today. Here for the long haul! :)

That's great, good luck! :-)

Thank you @gtg!

Hola, soy nuevo en esto, apenas sé moverme por aquí, he dado con este post mirando el voto a testigos, imagino que el tiempo ha pasado ya pero veo que está implicado, así que lo votaré como testigo, saludos.

¡muchas gracias :-)

I don't know if this is still possible.My curiosity within 3 days of being here get me into this. Now I got the messages few minutes ago that I am out of bandwidth. So I have to research on what that is all about. That got me here

Similar symptoms but different reason. Hopefully in future there would be some better UX available for users to avoid confusion. You can either wait a bit until your bandwidth replenish or power up more STEEM.

Hello, I know this post is already 8months old, but am really crying out for help. My Steem power is very low and I would appreciate if you delegate some sp to me. Thanks so much

I can't help with that. My delegations were for people that are unable to cast a single upvote due a bug. That's no longer the case.
If you wan't more SP, you need either buy it or earn it.
You have some SBD, consider using them to buy STEEM on the Currency Market and then Power Up.

ok no worries, thanks fro the reply atleast and i have a question, am about 9days old here and have never been paid curation reward despite upvoting and resteeming varrious post. why is that so?

Curation rewards depends on your Steem Power, if it is very small compared to others, then your share in rewards is also small. Sometimes rewards are so negligible that they are rounded to 0.

Re-steem is irrelevant for rewards.

thanks for the information. i appreciate

Hello, it might be not polite...but may i have some SP delegated? I'm writing a post for two days but cannot publish because of this reason.

I have voted you as a witness! Thank you for all the delegations we can see above. I believe you really are the kindest big whale to us newbies!

Hi, you need to check that with your account creator, i.e. @skenan, who apparently already un-delegated SP from you, leaving you with very minimal amount.
But it should still be enough with current blockchain conditions to post (you can check your current available bandwidth here: https://steemd.com/@madokami).

(PS, I'm not a whale, I'm just a witness, thank you for your vote)

Hi @gtg, I noticed that my vote does not worth anything when I voted for others. When I check on my voting weight, it shows 0 weight. I was searching for it and came across your post. I was pretty upset about it. Do you have any idea why is that so?

Of course, I would be grateful if you don't mind to delegate some steem power to me :)

Here's where you can get some more info about your current voting power, etc. On Steem it's similar to many games, when you are a beginner you have smal impact on the world surrounding you but over time, that would change if you invest in your character, either by work (creating and curating original, high quality content) and/or by buying more Steem and powering it up.

It was supposed to have at least $0.01 when I vote with my 100%, but it's not the case now, so I'm not sure what has changed.

It depends on many factors, like price of steem, your Steem Power and your Voting Power (you can get "tired" i.e. each consecutive vote is slightly weaker than previous one, voting power replenish over time, rule of thumb is to vote no more than 10 times a day)

Oh I see.. Thanks @gtg for your explanation! ^^

Hi @gtg

You seem to be pretty active on the platform of late, and seeing you still visiting this post and responding to people is pretty cool.

I'm in the unusual position of being a low vest holder but having a rather large proxy vote and so it seems my vote for you today will move you to number 1.

Thanks for doing this 11 months ago and for your continued engagement here on Steem.

I'm trying to keep up with the reality ;-) not an easy job because of a chronic lack of time (and all that because of Steem).

Thank you for your trust.

Super nice what you're doing for all the new members to our community!!! would have never thought there would be such an influx of interest as to turn noobs into literal level one characters?!?! not everyone is going to be on polo or bittrex just yet and we want this to be a GREAT intro to crypto for the masses so it's incumbent on us if we want to make the platform great, to help each other out, specially the newcomers!!!

Send you 1 steem to help out!!

Thank you :-)

nice initiative. voted for you as a witness and followed

Congratulations @gtg!
Your post was mentioned in my hit parade in the following category:

  • Comments - Ranked 8 with 113 comments

I wonder about comments to upvotes and views to upvotes ratio or even views to comments :-) Looks like this one is pretty exceptional, at least among all I've posted to that day ;-)

Pretty great idea 👍

Thank you :-)

I do not need the delegation, I'm just here to tell you that this is awesome and I want to be like you when I grow up.

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

Well, atm you are my personal hero for telling me about this, so. . . .

Thank you :-)

It is so awesome to see what our community has been up to this past couple of months..keep it up, you have my vote!

Thank you. :-)

I was wondering what the SP in brackets was, thanks for the clarification..where does the delegated SP come from?

From other SP holders.

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

Super offering you have. With all the newbies coming in I think you are doing a great job with this offering. We must indeed try to keep these newbies active on the platform instead of them withdrawing quickly. In my way I try to help by giving the new Steemians my vote, looks I hope rewarding to them when upping their posts from 1ct to 11ct (my vote is worth around 10ct now, so also for me it looks good when bringing a post from 1ct to 11ct...that is a 11 fold increase) :)

Keep up the great work you do!

Thank you :-)

Great to see, help for us minnows, Upvoted and Resteemed.

Thank you :-)

I sent my missus your way, any help to get her kickstarted would be appreciated, thanks @linda-rose

Great, I love seeing that people are willing to help out in the community to make it bigger.

Hi gtg, I just joined up today, not too sure if you can still help or am I too late?
Thanks anyway, Linda

Hello Linda, Fortunately accounts are currently created with enough Steem Power to properly transact. :-)

God bless you more.

Would be great to have more influence here! I love the community.

Can I ask you a question it is bugging me for last few days, is something wrong with my wallet/account?

I joined just before last hard fork and my upvote was 1 cent I think. After hardfork it become 0.04 so far all good. Week or so ago I was too generous and was voting too much and I drive my voting power under 30%. Of course, my upvote was 1 cent again.

So I decided to wait to re-charge voting power. Few days ago it become 100% but my vote is keep yielding only 0.01. How is this possible? Shouldn't I get back to 0.04? Is something wrong with my account?

My account got worth ~20$ so I claimed some of rewards, but yesterday my vote was still yielding only 1 cent. After I post this I will upvote yours and my post and see what it will yield. But it really makes me unhappy seeing my vote revard went town. Oh I was not being downvoted as far as I know, didn't do nothing that I shouldn't... Got reputation from 25 to 38, yet my voting reward went down.

Could you look at my valet & statistics and see if everything is OK? I don't understand all of the details and I don't know who to ask to look into this.

Thank you!

P.s.
yes, my upvote still yields only one cent

Hello, your account/wallet looks good. Just after last HardFork, voting power impacted potential payouts abnormally high for some time until it reached new equilibrium.
Please note that your impact on potential amount depends on various factors like for instance amount of steem in rewards pool and your share in it, also price of STEEM on market, etc.

OK, thank you for looking into my statistic, I'm glad all is how it should be

Of course I can't upvote you now. But if you don't mind, then can you please help me by that $20 SP of yours!!!??? Thanks in advance @gtg

I'm no longer providing those delegations. This is very old post and the issue was fixed.

Oh! It's a sad thing then. But anyways I might take some advice from you then...

Just getting strated. I am really looking forward to using Steem. Everywhere I have looked there is nothing but positive (except for the haters) information.

Hope your offer is still good.

Thanks

Hello,
My offer was aimed to help people that was unable to transact at given platform conditions. That's no longer the case. People usually have at least 15 Steem Power at their disposal, and even having less than that is currently enough for making basic operations.

I would be honured if you could empower me, I will show great gratitude upon recieving your gift! Thanks a lot

Hello @zyzz, this issue described in this post should no longer be there, you currently have >27 Steem Power delegated to your account :-) You can check those amount in your wallet (delegated amount is in brackets). That should be more than enough for normal interactions with site. Good luck.

this is nice,but am new to this. your post is really encouraging and will propel me to be more and more active. and more so i will love to have more voting power, thank gtg. thanks for the insite.

You currently have >72 Steem Power delegated to your account. That should be more than enough for normal interactions with site. You can check those amount in your wallet (delegated amount is in brackets).

great. seriously due to steem power. can not do anything. if you help that is great :)

Definitely it's not about your Steem Power, you have already few times more than I'm offering here.

got it. Thanks

uh just registered 1 week ago, would be really nice if you could help me

This issue shouldn't affect you, you have 72 Steem Power already delegated to your account :-)

Oh, it still shows 0.5, will the 72 steem power come the next days?
the 72 u mentioned is in brackets under the 0.5, no idea what the meaning behind that is.

Yes, delegated amount is that in brackets.

A very good thing you do.
I do not yet fully understand the steem power thing. Doing my own thing here. Commenting, voting, creating my own posts and following people. what else can I do?

Steem Power give you more control over post payouts and allow you to earn on curation rewards.
A week ago you have transferred some STEEM to your account using blocktrades. You might consider powering it up to improve your influence. Please note that Steem Power would require 3 months (13 payments) to convert back to Steem.
Steem Power has also an effect on how powerful is your vote for witnesses (in this case delegated Steem Power does not count, only your own)

Yes I get that you can buy steem power. But is it worth it? Does it help me if my voting power increases?
I will read about this more thoroughly . thanx mate

If you think about involvement in this platform for long term then it does. Your vote would be worth more, you would get more from curation rewards.

Great 'proactive' initiative, followed! Although i dont think i need it since i never had such an issue, still you get my thumbs up!

Thank you :-)

Can you please help us with your support to promote this idea of marketing steemit? Thank you!

I will contribute with a Upvote to the Max.

Hello Mint, I've just delegated 20k VESTS
Also, please go to your wallet and claim your rewards (you already can claim those from your introduction post).
You've done well with your recent post so within few days you would have more than enough by yourself.
Good luck.

Please help. I have 20 SP but not voting rights. Thanks!!!

You should be fine with your amount, you might also want to power up your liquid STEEM (to become Steem Power)

Thanks @gtg. I will convert STEEM to SP. Have a nice weekend!

Thank you, same to you :-)

Hi @gtg please delegate some power to me and give a look to my accont and help me be better and make some money i need some money . Big thanks

Hello Prima Nia, you don't need to return anything because that's only a delegation (so you can use it in same way as you would have it, i.e. for upvotes, bandwidth and curation rewards). After some time it would be undelegated but by that time you would be able to gather some own Steem Power.
Good luck.

Hi gtg,

Thank you for your good wishes! :)

In my wallet under STEEM POWER, I read:
Influence tokens which give you more control over post payouts and allow you to earn on curation rewards.Part of your STEEM POWER is currently delegated to you. Delegation is donated for influence or to help new users perform actions on steemit. Your delegation amount can fluctuate.

And I see:

0.500 STEEM
(+24.161 STEEM)

Do you know what these numbers mean? Is it STEEM allocated in the STEEM POWER area? And can one or both of these numbers change arbitrarily, un predictably? Do either of the numbers, or both of them, effect my limited ability to upvote and to resteem?

If you happen to know, please share. Thanks.

Sincerely,

Both numbers are Steem Power, 0.500 you currently own, 24.161 is delegated to you. Please take a look at the list of frequently asked questions to get some better idea about it.

Hey @gtg, thanks for being so helpful and encouraging newbies on steemit. I really appreciate it.

If the offer is still on, I would be glad to receive delegate SP. Thanks in advance :-)

You have now >27 Steem Power delegated to your account :-)
You can check those amount in your wallet (delegated amount is in brackets).

nice i realy need it ive got issue sometimes

delegated 20k VESTS

Would love to get little more steem power. Didnt know the limit.I did purchase some,but still having issues with errors

You've got like 10 but powered up only 3. You might want to power up some more, but you should be fine now. Anyway I'm delegating some more to you :-) Good luck.

Thanks a lot. I am little confused under steem power there is xx steem and (+yy steem).. what is that and when i started i swear it was (+ 144) and then fewweeks later (+144 ) became (+2)

I get this message a couple of times.
Probably because I recently joined.
Thank you for your generosity! :)

Hello, that issue is already fixed and you currently have >27 Steem Power delegated to your account :-) You can check those amount in your wallet (delegated amount is in brackets). That should be more than enough for normal interactions with site. However, as far as I can see looking at your activity, you are voting quite a lot which doesn't make much sense as your voting power decreases. Don't worry because it would replenish itself over time, just voting that much is not really effective. Currently voting 40 times per day is best, but to improve power of votes, that rule would be changed to 10 (and thanks to that votes would be more powerful). Of course you can always try to vote more than that but your votes would be watered down the more you vote over that (and if you really wan't to perform that many votes you need to earn / invest more in Steem Power yourself.

Good luck.

This would be a great help. Nothing is worse than upvoting something you like and noticing that your upvote literally had zero impact. I admit I'm new to the platform but it's hard to see a way to raise my vote power.

Hello sir. I am new to Steemit and would love a little help getting started. Thanks so much! :)

Fortunately, aside from your very own 3 SP you already have 145 SP delegated to you :-) You can check those amount in your wallet (delegated amount is in brackets).

I hope you can help me too. Thanks in advance.

meep

I have only 1.600 steem power, but I havent gotten that message yet?

That's because aside from your very own 1.600 Steem Power you have delegated 4.500. That's the amount in brackets. (+4.500 STEEM)

Thanks. But it's still very far from 30? I have 6.1 Steem..

Well, if you think you need it anyway, then here you are:
