Great post! Once again, you display your patience and well thought out answers to the great questions of Steemit while I barrel through them like a bull in a China shop. So glad that I met you on here because your perspective truly helps me stay somewhat grounded instead of totally flying off the reservation.

I know you and disagree on the bot issue, but we certainly agree on the relationship building aspect of the platform. Most likely we agree on about 95% of everything we discuss, but I'm not as good at articulating it in a non-polarizing fashion like you.

Needless to say, I am extremely happy that you stuck it out. Also, I have a solution for you if you want to keep upvoting people's comments. This is important because I get better engagement on my posts BECAUSE I upvote their comments. I don't want you to go backward on this.

The solution is that you tell me how much SP you need to get you over the hump on upvotes to your commenters and I will figure out how to get you that delegation if it isn't incredibly expensive. My only request is that you keep supporting minnows in our #payitforward contest.

Let me know if we have a deal.

Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for the kind offer. I am not sure how much I would need honestly. I used the calculator that is on Steem Now the other day to figure what I needed to get to .02 (although I ended up throwing more at it, lol) but right now it still thinks Steem is worth 4.10 and it has fallen to 3.69 and continues to fall. I appreciate your offer, my main concern would be that the cycle is going to continue downwards which would quickly pull the vote back out of .03. I have actually been waiting for the coming downturn as these things cycle, before doing another position trade. I also figure (in case you have some money at the exchange to invest) that the G20 meeting is coming in July so by next month the FUD cycle will begin again driving prices down, a perfect time to invest in crypto.

While I will gratefully accept delegation, I will continue to participate in the #payitforward contest without it being tied to your offer. But I don't know what I would need to get there as I see people using algebra looking math and talking of vests and such and I just nod politely as though I understand any of it.

I knew you would stay with #payitforward. lol Let's try to come up with a decent number in the next day or so when we see where Steem settles. Then we will act on it with some SP.

Huh. I had not been aware of the $0.03 payout minimum. This is what you are saying, right? Do you have a source for that or is this just your observation?

I think one thing you are missing concerning the value of upvotes on replies to your posts is your ability to influence the order of what others see under your posts. Having high-value replies as the top response to your post could be a good thing. Maybe not.

As posts go, this one is not very long winded ;-) Thanks for writing.

Here is the latest post I read on the payout minimums.

https://steemit.com/steemit/@thedarkhorse/your-2-cent-vote-is-worthless-the-real-deal-on-dust-votes

Thanks for reading. I hear what you are saying with the top comments being the best replies. But I really want to reward those who interact with me as well. When I read initially they were saying it was .02, I bought as much SP through delegation as I could. I really want those who engage with me to really be paid as it suggests they are when I upvote. Then found out the next day it is still not enough, lol. So for now I am going to give it in a way that they can still receive it. It occurred to me as I was writing this it may be that one last vote they need to get higher on a list for visibility.

I have been having problems figuring out voting. About a week and a half ago I was continuously at about 45-50% of my voting power and stepped away for long periods of time to get it back up. I figure i will fine tune it as I go along.

Thanks for the links. As I said I had not heard of the dust rule before, as the site makes no explicit mention of it. I understand why you've changed your voting strategy; it'll change mine too, because I only have dust power as well.

I'm happy to read you survived the first three months. :) I'm only a month ahead of you, and while the climb is still steep, it is getting a little easier.

I'm not sure what it is that makes us all think we're going to have instant success when we get here. It's probably due to a lack of information about how this platform really is, and that might be purposeful since we might have not joined had we known what we found out within our first few weeks.

The mere idea that some potential reward can be affixed to our posts and comments makes this place unique in the blogging/commenting world. The fact that it is based on a cryptocurrency, which is primarily the domain of investors right now, makes the combination an odd mix, and not at all what I thought it would be.

Trying to figure out a way to help those who are here to invest and those who are here to create and engage is going to be the ongoing issue, especially when people see those two sides (and either other you could add in) working at cross purposes. I'm hoping, though, there's a place somewhere in the middle where we can all meet.

Thank you

It's probably due to a lack of information about how this platform really is

For me it was watching YouTube videos by one of the witnesses pretending it was simple to make hundreds per post, lol. There is a lot of misinformation being purposely pushed by those who should know better. I am guessing some of the retention issues Steemit has is due to those videos that brought people here.

I'm hoping, though, there's a place somewhere in the middle where we can all meet.

I believe there is, and my growth on here seems to be a testament to that. Despite getting discouraged (which I didn't touch a lot on in my initial post) and not posting for awhile, I continued to engage with others on their posts and my account grew. After enough growth I finally had my aha moment and saw the solution to the visibility issue.

The fact that it is based on a cryptocurrency, which is primarily the domain of investors right now, makes the combination an odd mix, and not at all what I thought it would be.

This made me laugh. I am that guy you wouldn't have expected here. I was ignorant of crypto at the beginning of the year, skeptical of it in fact. It was this platform that pulled me into testing the waters. Thanks for reading my post and sharing your thoughts. Hoping the next quarter will see great growth for the both of us.

May it be so!

And skeptical is a good way of describing me when I initially heard about STEEM, or I might have joined when I first heard about it back in July of 2016.

I really don't know why people feel the need to sensationalize these things. Well, actually, I do. They're hoping to make quick money. Which is too bad. Because they could make long term, long lasting money if they chose to educate people instead of find ways to grab money first.
