A little humor there.
(very little)
.
back to earth.

consider the analogy
Steem is being created all the time at a certain rate.
It flows into your vote power barrel
...much like rain flows into a rain barrel

you can monitor the volume of your vote barrel by using SteemNow
.
Some things to consider.
100% means FULL
but just because your rain barrel is full doesn't mean it stops raining.
same with Steem
the steem just a keep on comin.
and when it reaches full
it overflows and is wasted.
.

.
in order to not be stupid
.

VOTE

.
consider a vote to be a squirt of water coming out
of the water faucet.
the more you open the faucet the more water pressure you have.
the same with steem
the higher you set your vote slider
.

the faster you deplete your votes.
.
If I understand it correctly you can deplete your vote power down to 80%
.
...and it will refill in 24 hrs.
.
So do that.
Vote in any combination you want
...a few strong votes..
or a bunch of lower pressure ones..
.
but vote.
cause if you don't, and it gets to 100%
...it overflows..
.
and it's wasted.
.
Don't let that happen.

Wow, great tip @everittdmickey. Now I just need to build my Steam to the point where I have a voting slider ;)

Good thing to know!
Thank you for that Information.

But, Where can i find the Vote Slider?

Im new to Steemit

Thank you.

Is located in your profile settings 😋

ive seen my profile settings and i cant find any slider in there.

You need to have certain amount of steem power in order to get the slider feature. About 480 or something, correct me if I'm wrong.

thank you for that information. i will need to work more to get that :)

Hmm, Is more easier to navigate with the eSteem app but on the site you should see a bar that is pushed all the the way to 100%

when you get 500SP you'll get one.

Hi @jeyes56, being new, if you did not invest on steempower then this will not be available for you. I don't have it also on the browser. However, you can download esteem mobile app and you have a vote slider there! Also under settings ^_^

Ahhhh to be a whale or even a dolphin and get that voting slider...

Good read by the way. Having such high numbers of Steem power and being able to give quality posts and comments nice amount of upvote must feel great.

you don't need to be either to get a slider.
all you need is 500 SP.
a minnow.

Good post @everittdmickey. I'm starting to understand it. Please just transplant the info you have in your mind into mine!

heh.
if only...

This is a very good blog! It very educational.

thank you.
I try my best.

Well you did a great job! I love it when fellow Steemians lend out a helping hand to those who just started using Steemit.

Right on, just having it sit at a 100% is a waste. I'm still napping, my vp is still below 40% :(

20% increase per 24 hours
it takes five days to fully replinish vote power that has been completely diminished.

Nice post, I like the faucet analogy!!!

thank you...
Upon further consideration I think 'dippers' would be better.
Imagine you have a set of dippers that rang from 100% down to 1%. Which ever 'dipper' you choose to use is your vote power.

great explanation!! i wish peoplee could understand this and not get angry at whales on steemit for having so much control of so muc money! thats the payof of havig so much steem!

and we need to keep bringing in more users to alllow steems price to REALLy explode!

I cant WWAIT to have $1000 steem! anyoen who sells tehir stem no is just stupid and deserves to be Poor I guess!!! u HAVE the answer and u SELL it?its like all the peopel who sold al their bitcoins durng teh first small bubble cooapse liek when butcoin went from $1 to $30 and crashed back to $1 welll yeah ppeole who soold ewere so dub, anyoen who jysheld oon just kept making more admore and is stil making money!

God steemit will be the SAME! listen t the whales who tel u to HOLD ON they mEAN it when they say Steem blockchain is teh BEST crypto currency system outther! its the MISt effeicnet! u couldfit ALl of stem netwrk on 21 rasbery pi computrs! its teh MOST ENEEGRY EFFicNET blockchain to!O and it canhadle the MOST trnsactions its the BEST technology!

the world will eventually see all that one day! when they are smart enough to realize it or when the reality cals for these things and they realixe steem has what nooen else has because theyll NEed to USE something liek stem and there wont be anything else as good as it!!!!

and everone ellse who gets on steem NOW is just gonan BEENfit Tremedoulsy!

by jining steemit nwo and saving $1000 u wil become a millionaire in afew years, thats ur fuckin rewardand its awesome!

what you said.

ROTFL

Good info! Upvoted and Resteemed!

thanks

Man. You'd think they'd vote a few people here and there to make those people's lives just... could you imagine?

you haven't been watching?
they do that.

Um, no, sorry, I'm new-ish. I haven't seen it happen myself.

it happens.
not so much now as when the reward curve was exponential
now the reward curve is linear and their votes arn't as important to us
we can do purty good on our own.
