I'm actually encouraging the whales I meet to vote more and spread their power thinner over more people instead of giving out a small number of big jackpots.

Mascot name: How about "Steem Ball"?

Great art. I like your posts.

Only vote 20 times every 24 hours to maintain power!

Are you sure this is accurate? I have been told by a few different people that 40 was ideal number to vote?

Someone official correct me if I'm wrong here so I'm not spreading misinformation!

I heard you regenerate 1 vote per hour, so 24 would be the ideal cycle. Generally, I just pay attention to myself on https://steemstats.com to make sure my power doesnt dip too much.

I think the ideal number may have changed when the post payout times were halved.

Great post kyle! Easy to understand for sure. for people who learn with pictures this is 100% awesome.

I appreciate you see beyond my silly pictures and understand not everyone can read large blocks of text. :)

SteemyHulk smash post

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

Gotta admit I laughed out loud when I read your comment in my head.

SteemyHulk smash! ( Dunno if we can use hulk without getting sued! )

Is it ok to use this guy in posts and comments?

Well.... I upvote everything that I believe in no matter the timeframe because... We are on borrwed time. I guess this may not be the best way to go about this but I definitely believe that ehatever is in your heart will guide your path, the Lord will show you the entrance. Namaste~!

Interesting outlook on this! I agree with you wholeheartedly.
If you believe the lord will guide your way then happiness to you.

Uproids

Uptucker! :D

I like this ^

Great post but I can't Upvote because I've already voted over 20 times today! I didn't know there was a limit. Love the art work too.... @kbargold

It's not a limit, it just the ideal amount for the highest curation rewards.

Thanks for responding. Where can I learn more about "curation rewards"?

I'll have to get working on an article!

Thank You, I had no idea that it worked like that. I assumed it was recharged the next day.

No worries dr.gonzo! I have you covered!

I voted 20 times on this post yee hah! Wait, is that bad? Thanks for educatin' all us folk @klye and keep powerin' on @klye mushroom

I have a name for your icon - STRONG UP. Like Strong Bad. But up. Or somethin'

Hey, here's a virus! Have a nice day!

Awesome nonlinearone I am glad you're getting great use out of my icons. :)

edit: Viruses?! RIP klye

Love your style of cartoons!

Thank you mrprolific. I appreciate your kind feedback man. :)

One more thing i didn't know about steemit

Slowly trying to educate everyone as I learn things on here!

Klye call him - uptucker - haha

Done gordob! inb4 flagtucked by tuck. D:

Would upvote, but I dont want to discredit your post.

hahahah. What do you mean sir?

Telling me to be frugal with my upvotes.

You can upvote whom you choose sir. <3

It was a joke, apparently a pretty bad one.

Unfortunately normal humour evades me. D:

thanks, didn't know should reserve 20 upvotes for a day/ :-)

I may have buggered that up a bit on the initial submit...
You will recover basically 20% voting power per 24 hours. :)

Excellent and informative post. I, too, did not know power was diminished and then replenished on here. And, I'm still trying to figure out what curation rewards are (and author rewards), so I will eagerly be awaiting your article on that bit of information.

As for your super cute mascot, I vote to name him SteemPunk. :)

SteemPunk! That could be a neat name for sure.

Thanks for checking out my article. I'll be sure to post a new one soon.

Dat upvote is STRONK DA HEFTY UPDOOT!

Updoot... That sir is on par with uptuck.

I like your style!

Here's mine, full power! (actually just a tiny bubble fart at the bottom of the ocean)

Mmmm Delicious moonjelly. +drools+

Good post. The subject is still a bit confusing though. Can you give us some link where you dogged this out to learn more? When I saw the mascote, I sw Blaupunkt. But Wooot is quite ok as it is.

Basically when you vote you lose a small % of your payout power...

Sorry. No links.. I wish I had a solid source to back this with.
Learned it from looking at the tool I linked and observation mainly.

More you use voting power = less payouts for those you vote for

This is awesome - my name for the Power Upvote Mascot Picture is

The P.U.M.P. !!!! lol

Rock on dude!! Have a great day!

I like this.. :)

I think the mascot should be called 'Strongbaw'

Strongbaw? Like the cider?

Close, except baw is Scottish slang for ball, as in testicle and it does look a bit like a baw!!

Ah! right on man. Thank you for the info... LOL

Thank you for the great info and graphics here!
I wrote something titled "My best $0.00 posts" I would share with you :)
https://steemit.com/life/@andrew0/my-best-0-00usd-posts-episode-1-what-you-may-have-seen-but-you-still-didn-t-and-probably-will-never-see

Please don't post you links to unrelated articles on my stuff man.. C'mon.. -_-

I like it. Nice illustrating. But I would say even though the '^' is trying to represent the upvote arrow, it does give the character somewhat of a sad face.

It reminds me of a power lifter, overhead pressing a barbell. You might consider to have him pressing an actual barbell, with blue STEEM coins w/ up arrows on either side as the weights, and then give him a happier face instead :)

Just my 0.02 though! Rock on

I thought iot looked like a moustache instead of a frown.. Bit I see what you're saying!

This is UpMeeit

Neat name rittr!

upvote for the art :)) @klye

Thank you fiver! Much appreciated

great article as always my friend :) x

Thank you @allasyummyfood

Didn't realize about the number of upvotes/day. Thanks for the article.

Yeah it does affect your voting power and what your payouts are.

Love the art!

Thank you kindly!

Mascot looks like a Steem&m !
