Since yesterday my voting power has been getting lower and lower. I got to the point where it said that I couldn't vote anymore until my power regenerates, or something to that effect.
Now I need to figure out how to regenerate this number. I don't have the ability to choose my voting percentage so all of them are going out as 100%, which is giving less than one cent. I'm not sure if it just takes time to regenerate this number or if it helps to comment and post on this site.
I will be experimenting with this until I get my power back up. Until then I have to be very careful with my votes. I'm hoping to get this fixed soon so I can continue to support my fellow Steem friends.
I did the math. From 0% voting power (I've never seen anyone get there because the formula is a "limit" function meaning it can't technically reach 0) it takes 120 hours (5 days) to regenerate to 100% voting power if you do not vote at all.
Each vote costs energy to cast, and the consensus is that you can vote a golden 11 times a day at full power to still regenerate to 100% per day.
The practicality of it is this. At 120 hours from 0 -100, each hour without voting increases your power 10/12 or roughly .83 percent. This equates to 19.92% per day.
Given that math, and the recommended "golden" number, a vote "costs" 19.92/11 or 1.81 percent to cast.
If a vote costs 1.81% to cast and regenerates at .83% per hour it means you can vote .83/1.81 or roughly .45 times in one hour without losing energy (every hour you can vote at 45% if you have a slider).
If you don't have a slider, you can vote roughly once every 2 hours (10 - 12 times a day) without losing voting influence.
Hopefully I didn't over complicate that ...

I think voting costs 2% of power, and regeneration rate is 5% per 6 hours. :)

That's odd... I was about to send you a link but I don't think I know anything that you don't... Do you fund your account using other networks?

First, wait - let it regenerate to at least 90, if not 100%.

It's a steep learning curve - without these tools, I'd be v much lost...
Great developers. On your right, upper screen is a menu with an option for Steemit App Center. Many more tools on there... Enjoy!
