Hopefully you are noticing that the voting power of @randowhale has been increasing which should be resulting in larger and larger votes over time until voting power has been fully recharged, as expected. Over the next couple weeks @randowhale will be keeping an eye on use/voting power to see how the market is reacting. Please enjoy @randowhale responsibly, don't drink and rando.
For those asking about why the rewards have been decreasing, even though the vote strength of @randowhale has been increasing, here is your answer: The amount allocated to the reward pool has been decreasing, ~30% already. This raw data can be found at https://steemdb.com/api/funds if you'd like to check it out for yourself.
Here's how it works:
- Ensure the post you want to vote on has not paid out or is not within 12 hours of payout
- Copy the URL of the post you want @randowhale to vote on
- Navigate to your Wallet
- Select Transfer under Steem or Steem Dollars
- Populate To field with "randowhale"
- Populate Amount field with "2" (Steem or SBD)
- Paste URL into Memo field
- Submit
@randowhale or @randowhale1 will now place a vote with a random vote power of 0.50%-2.5% on your post!
- Yes, there is now an additional account voting (only voting!) so you may see a vote from either account.
- This change in voting power will result in comparable rewards to the previous settings.
Notes:
- Only send to @randowhale. Do NOT send to @randowhale1, this account is used only for voting purposes.
- Do not submit posts in their last 12 hours before payout - they cannot receive upvotes.
- There are no refunds, period. If you send the incorrect amount or to @randowhale 1 (DO NOT SEND TO THIS ACCOUNT), consider it a donation.
- Each post may be voted on only once! Please verify @randowhale has not already voted on the post before submitting.
- Again, no refunds.
Hey @randowhale!
I know you are a very busy sea creature, but I wanted to tell you that I made an upgrade of the design of your project and I'm giving you the rights to use it.
Please consider dropping me a line there so I can make sure you saw it =)
I'll leave a preview of the animation I also made so you can check it!
Have a nice day !

How much upvote does your 2% give? You should give at least 5% but I guess that would drain your voting power too fast. Anyways it's a great project on Steemit. Hope you continue to run it after the price rise and more members.

I am really enjoyed your work here but I noticed since last few days that your power is decreased and therefore people get less amount then they give you for vote. As we all know it happen due to some moment in crypto market. I just did calculation too and i found that if i use your vote power by giving 2 SBD then its may chance to get less amount so i will waiting for your power come up and then use it.i wish your power come on high level soon.

From the browser bar ( is that how everyone else copies links?)

@randowhale, do you have any preference for steem or sbd? Does previous upvotes before your vote affect your vote % or is it completely random?
In your opinion is Steemit as a community and Steem price better served by converting my sbd to steem before spinning the @randowhale wheel?

Hey @randowhale, I'm agreeing with a few of the people on this post and beyond. I think the voting percentage is too small.
Why not 5-10% or even higher?
I'm not even using it for myself anymore, as it's not worth it, but I would like to boost a few newbies and undervalued content creators...

I think the reward pool descreases as a result of the decreased value of Steem, correct? I have noticed several well known characters on Steemit Powering down and selling pretty large amounts on the market, which may be contributing to the overall situation. It's kind of annoying that they continue to get massive votes on Steemit - it means that people are voting for their own earnings to decrease. Strange world!

@randowhale upvotes are not profitable for me anymore.
For example, I just sent 2 SBD for an upvote, 1 SBD is currently worth $1.7 so 2x SBD = $3.7
I received a 1.7% upvote (above average) which boosted my post with $3.34, I'll be receiving 75% of that so I'll be getting $2.505
So I basically lost $0.83 after receiving a 1.7% upvote. I didn't even break even!!
So no more @randowhale upvotes for me till the rate is reduced or upvote % is increased.
Thanks.
