What is a Steemit Upvote? - An Illustrated Guide

sndbox (77) in toolkit • 7 years ago (edited)

What is an “Upvote”?

An upvote on Steemit.com is very different than a vote on any other social-media website. Clicking that little arrow is much more than a “Like” on Facebook or a “Heart” on Instagram. On Steemit, votes are rewarded with STEEM!

In today’s Toolkit post, we’ll explain what an “upvote” actually is, where the rewards come from and and how they are distributed on the Steemit website.

Where does the STEEM come from?

When you upvote someone’s post - that value is not being withdrawn from your personal account. (This is a common misunderstanding.) You’re not giving anyone anything from your personal savings or STEEM Power. Instead, you’re vote is actually tapping into a brand new pool of STEEM. There’s a fresh batch of STEEM produced everyday, and it’s called the daily rewards pool.

New STEEM tokens are being created all the time. The rewards pool is an amount of STEEM generated every day from inflation. Right now, several tens of thousands of STEEM tokens are being created every day (Approximagely 63,000/day. The percentage of yearly inflation shrinks incrementally as time goes on). This daily STEEM represents the pool from which your vote takes a certain amount and distributes it to where you’ve directed.

What happens when you vote?

When you click the upvote button you are telling the STEEM Blockchain, “this is where I want X amount of the daily rewards pool to go.” The amount that you’re able to direct is dependent on the amount of STEEM Power you have. So the more SP you have, the more of the daily rewards pool you can direct to posts you like! (Your vote is not affected by liquid STEEM or SBD, learn more about the differences here.)

You can verify how much voting power your account has at any time by plugging it in at this website - www.steemnow.com

Curation Rewards

An upvote on Steemit is also a tool for you to earn curation rewards. Simply put, when a post or comment is paid out a portion of the rewards is redistributed back to the people that helped generate that amount. If you upvote a post, you’re effectively helping it gain visibility and support and you’re rewarded for that curation.

The amount you get back from a post you upvoted depends on a number of factors - how much the post made during payout, at what point in time you upvoted that post, the number of votes before you upvoted, voting power, and so on and so forth. Without going into too much detail, the following can be used as the basic rule of thumb-

The earlier that you vote on a potentially successful and highly rewarded post, the more you will make in curation rewards. You can read more about the exact calculations of how curation rewards work here.

BTW, you didn't mention 30 minutes rule.

If newbie or minnow would vote according to your rule: " The earlier that you vote on a potentially successful and highly rewarded post, the more you will make in curation rewards", so if somebody would vote in the first minute then he would get nothing because he would get 100% penalty and all his potential reward will be moved to a post author

$0.00

[-]

sndbox (77) · 7 years ago

Thanks @allfabeta for the clarification! It is an important aspect of the voting system -

Of the 25% that goes to the curator, that portion will be split between the author and the curator if the curator votes within the first 30 minutes. The split of the 25% between the author and curator during the first 30 minutes is calculated linearly based on the time the vote is cast.

If a post is upvoted the moment of posting, 100% of the curation reward goes to the author.
At 3 minutes, 90% goes to the author and 10% to the curator.
At 15 minutes it's a 50/50 split.
At 27 minutes, 10% goes to the author and 90% to the curator.
If a post is upvoted 30 min after posting, 100% of the curation reward goes to the curator.

For the purposes of this post we thought it might be burdensome and overly complicated for new users but it's definitely something to learn more about once you've familiarized yourself with the platform.

Also, thanks for the translation! It's awesome. =)

kenfinkel (57) · 7 years ago

Clear and enlightening, thank you!

But I have a concern about the reward pool and long-term sustainability. I gather the pool fluctuates with inflation and possibly with the currency market? You write "the percentage of yearly inflation shrinks incrementally as time goes on." So as Steemit users increase in number over time, won't that make the value of the pool shrink and difficult to sustain?

$0.00

[-]

sndbox (77) · 7 years ago

Interesting question @kenfinkel! Inflation of the daily "rewards pool" increases the number of STEEM tokens held on the blockchain... but it does not directly alter the value of STEEM. (An important distinction.)

From the Steemit FAQ page...

Steem began creates new tokens at a yearly inflation rate of 9.5%. The inflation rate decreases at a rate of 0.5% per year. The inflation will continue decreasing at this pace until the overall inflation rate reaches 0.95%.

So as the ecosystem of Steemit users increase over time, yes, STEEM tokens will be harder to come by. BUT the value of each of those tokens is another story. Ideally, the value rises as the demand rises. There are many other factors that give value to the STEEM ecosystem. If your next question is where does the value come from? This might help...

Steem is a game system where users compete for attention and rewards by bringing content and adding value to the platform. The rewards people earn are tokens that have market value and are readily tradable. It is similar to how someone playing a video game could obtain a limited item or currency by playing the game. If the currency or items are transferable between users, then they can sell or buy them on game item markets.

We know steemit from friends but we have no special sharing community here. Therefore, searching out in related articles is the best way for us. How poor we are.

Great question... There is no limit to how many posts you can upvote in a day! But you can only upvote ~15 posts per day at full 100% power.

Thanks for the explanation @sndbox. One more question, please: besides Steemit Chat and Discord, how can we promote our posts?

Right now I believe those two are the best options! Find a chatroom channel in either one and begin a conversation :)

Very good post, thanks a lot for explaining this , I upvoted you, resteemed, and I will follow, so every person who upvote can earn some steem dollars also and that is nice.

I hope in the future the upvote will worth more to more people, even if someone is not earning a lot will earn, I am planing to help my followers to improve on steemit and I am sure that after one year I will earn very good money from posting !

Good luck, keep posting good quality posts like this one. ☺

Thanks for a simple explanation. It helped me to understand the platform. I have one more question though. Please clear my doubt about purchase.

Where does the Steem come from if someone purchases the Steem using BTC? There is a definite amount of Steem generated everyday, you said. And this amount depends upon inflation. But inflation is nothing but the loss of purchasing power of a currency with time, but if Steem price keeps rising then there would be no inflation.
For example it Steem reaches at $4, its purchase power is almost tripled from now, then it is not inflation right? Then won't these new tokens be generated? If someone wants to buy Steem from where would he/she buy? I guess the exchanges must be keeping the reserves of Steem.. hmm?

How does the STEEM blockchain verify integrity? Other blockchains (e.g. Bitcoin and Ethereum) use computer heavy mining to ensure no fraud has been committed.
