Voting for Witnesses (Problem Solved) + A Few Programs to Increase the Votes You ReceivesteemCreated with Sketch.

in #witnesses6 years ago (edited)

I've been posting for a few months and it was only recently that I've decided to investigate on the Witness aspect of the Steem Network.

After casting a few votes, I had a problem and couldn't cast others.

These were the users I was trying to vote for as Witnesses:

A) @minnowsupport

This is an excellent program for everyone who's starting to take Steem seriously. If your posts maintain a certain level of quality, you can join their program through their Discord channel. Every 30 hours, you can ask for a vote to one of your posts. (Or give it to a friend.)

The registration is free and at the moment, that vote is around $0.07.

Please beware that single photo posts with little text will be considered to be low quality posts and you'll be removed from the program.


B) @earthnation

Was one of the main developers of the program Steem Basic Income (@steembasicincome), an excellent program to give upvotes for life to anyone who enters it.

Putting it simply, you can buy upvotes for life by sending 1 STEEM to @steembasicincome and mentioning on the "memo" an user you'd like to see receiving the same votes.

Each 1 STEEM allows you to sponsor a fellow Steemian. The more STEEM you send to @steembasicincome, the higher the votes you'll be receiving.

There's a guideline to keep in mind, though. If you abuse the system by copying content from others (and stuff like that) you will stop receiving votes.

If you don't know it yet, you should really look into it.


C) @costanza

Creator of the Project UpvoteShares / MinnowShares

This project is like Steem Basic Income on steroids.

There are two sides of this:

1) UpvoteShares which can be bought during certain periods and will give you upvotes for life, as long as you maintain a certain level of quality in your posts. (Check out @upvoteshares to know what's happening.)
@upvoteshares shares are over 3x more expensive than Steem Basic Income shares, but in compensation, you don't lose your STEEM. About 90% of the STEEM you send to the program can be recovered, if you feel like getting out of the program at any time.
Each @upvoteshares share you get comes with a bonus share in the @minnowshares program. But this won't be for you. Just like in Steem Basic Income, you'll choose who to offer these shares to.
2) @minnowshares doesn't give votes for life, though. This will last for a while... and then the votes associated to each MinnowShare will end... However, 6 inactive MinnowShares can be traded for an UpvoteShare!

Please take in consideration that the quality requirements are even higher than on the previous mentioned programs. Your Profile will be reviewed and if you don't met the minimum requirements, you won't be able to join @upvoteshares.


D) @steemchiller

He's the creator of SteemWorld, the best tool available to manage your Steem Account.

You can check your Voting Power, a million other different statistics, like your Account Balances... it lets you Power Up, Vote for Witnesses... and a lot more.

If you don't know it, try it... You'll be amazed: SteemWorld


Now, the reason I couldn't vote for these users as Witnesses is rather simple:
  • They aren't Witnesses. Doh! (I can't believe the amount of time I wasted on this until @timcliff pointed it out.)

Meanwhile, I've found a site who shows the Complete List of Witnesses. I wish I had found this sooner.

Hehe, that was fun... ^^ Next time just ask me ;)
Thanks for promoting SteemWorld!

Sometimes the solution is closer than we think. Thanks for your awesome tool!!!

@cleverbot проснулся!

Ok nice to meet you.

@cleverbot mutually

What do you mean?

So, what did you use this time for, @cleverbot? Learning how to swim?

I'm not in love with you and I was right.

I was wondering why you couldn't vote when you made that post a few days ago.... now I know XD.

Yeah, because I am an idiot. Uahahah! 😂

That is so funny! I'm sorry but I am still smiling at you.
On the other hand great info! Minnow support is something I really need to look into. Thanks for the tip.
Also so sorry I completely dropped the ball on @pifc visits this week. At this late date I think I will just plan on being more on top of that for the next round.
Maybe one day I will learn to balance out all the Steemit activities and 3D life.

Yeah, I wasn't so active this week to. I had to recover my SP which was below 70%.

I can't help but smile reading your post.😊 On the other hand, it is very informative. The explanations you made for each account that you wanted to be witnesses have clarified some questions in my head so thank you!

You're welcome! I hope you can take advantage of these programs. They're working good for me.

Yap. I am fortunate to have been sponsored for the minnowshares and I have been using SteemWorld for quite some time already. 😊

Congratulations! This post has been upvoted from the communal account, @minnowsupport, by Trincowski from the Minnow Support Project.

I really wish I understood this. It sounds so foreign to me. Can i get a breakdown?

What is it, that you don't understand...?

The voting for witness

Posted using Partiko Android

Ah, Witnesses are users who have their computers working all day long to keep the Steem Network alive and running well.

They also are the ones who make decisions regarding changes in the platform.

Everybody else can vote on one witness over the others.

It's up to each of us to decide who we believe is doing more for the platform.

I hope this helps.

Nice post on Voting for Witnesses. It's stunning, awesome, cute and wonderful.
