Ausbitbank Witness Update 20/6/17 (HF19 in 3 hours!)

writewords (53) · 7 years ago

Your advice about not using the 100% steem power option for posts and not using the internal convert for SBD really added value to me personally. Thank you!

@ausitbank I've written about not using "Convert to STEEM" feature, but I hadn't even thought about the "Don't Power UP" aspect. I guess it does make sense though. So when you get a payout, I suppose then it's also giving you that 50% SBD at a $1 value versus $1.60 or so (where it is now). If so, that would mean our current Power Ups are potentially costing us 50% x 0.6 SBD in potential extra SBD! Please correct me if I am somehow misunderstanding what you wrote.

Also, just curious when you say "1 missed blocks this week (10 ever)", how does that relate versus required server reboots or other required downtime? Or is that part of the "10 ever"? That would seem unlikely to me unless you're running 2 or 3 witnesses simultaneously with fall-over capability.

If I'm right you need at least 1M Vests to use the voting slider.

Really? I was adjusting mine in eSteem app.... or at least I thought I was.... Does it not do anything?

alexpmorris (65) · 7 years ago

yeah, I think it's a UI issue though, not a block chain limitation, but I may be wrong on this. They should definitely consider offering the slider to steemians with >100SP, versus 500SP minimum now.

thx for your comment, Alex. yes, they should do this. btw. they should hide the upvote-button until you open the post and diskuss changing this new linear system to an degressive one...

I told you b4 this is the first time i have ever used social media and that's still true.. I'm 3 week in now so I thought i would update you on my progress. I now understand how it works . Not just the posting but the actual way this concept of interaction works. YES i made some big mistakes as your aware of and im putting that down to a very steep learning curve, but I want to say thanks for still upvoting me even though you could have just forgotten me and never looked back. it is unfortunate though @sirknight did not try to explain to me how all this needs to be played out. the community idea I had was how i learn a lot of what not to do ..lol.. but I would still do it again as it revealed a great deal to me. I was like a Kalahari bush man who had just been dumped it New York city. lol but i used my survival skills and have learned to survive. So thanks again and may you receive all you wish for.
Cheers
Graham

My dad asked me to write this, as I am on Skype with him. I sent him this link, and he dictated to me:

"I'm trying to stay positive and think of the increased minnow influence - but all I can think about is how is this going to affect some of my recent projects...."

Improvize, overcome & adapt.

Believe in yourself, because your intentions are good and everything you do shall be done in a way that helps people out.

Don't lose time stressing over what has been done, remain focused and keep marching forwards through life.

I would also add that you should be patient on exchanges trading those SBD. I like to place my orders pretty high because SBD has such low volumes and it often experiences irrational pumps, which only last for minutes. 77k satoshis is a good order imo, unless you need that money instantly.

Good work, half of the tech stuff went over my head but im glad your looking after it :).
Thanks for the info on posting 50/50 and also on using the market to convert and not the internal system. Ive made both of those mistakes in the last few days.
Thanks for the update.

Steemians should be taking advantage of these higher prices and sell SBD above face value while you can.

recommented so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle. SBD is supposed to be a peg, so bet on efforts to keep it that way.

Lot's of good info in this post. Thanks!

This HF, is sounding like Steemit is looking at the future and trying to find that happy medium. I only joined 2 weeks ago and most of my followers are minnows. and even I only have 100+, it is good to know that I can build a good relationship with those followers and not get disheartened when I get a lot of upvotes but not the return for my effort of creating a post. But maybe a HF later down the road will be a happy medium as some of us minnow become whales. The only thing I don't understand is, those of us that want to create more posts. How is that going to effect. For example, I'm planning to start doing breakdowns with pic and writing how to create games. I don't want to do a youtube video and post it up, I want to do it as a teaching lesson. How will that effect me if I have multiple posts on step by step processes, and increasing my reputation.

I'm just going to roll with it and keep an eagle eye on my vote strength as I do my thing. I do not like the idea of 10 power upvotes. I feel quite limited. You know that ever since they implemented the slider I've been an advocate of everyone less than whale status should vote 100% otherwise what's the point? This is definitely going to shift things... but how? hmmm... TBD, I guess.
