More In Depth 'XP' Explanation
Earn XP by participating
Yesterday I mentioned you will all earning 'XP' while participating in the daily contests. XP is earned by posting photos to the hashtags, commenting on other photos from other Steemians (still working on this) and by winning in the contests. Some of you will have seen some automated responses on your photos. Like this one:
Two upvotes per day
Every Steemian will be getting 2 free upvotes from @photocontests every day on photos posted in 1 of the 14 hashtags. Your amount of XP will determine your level, which in turn will determine the height of the upvote you are getting.
To prevent abuse the initial vote weight will be quite low, after that it will increase with the weight of your level. Every new level takes 30% more XP to achieve.
| Level | Total XP | Payout |
| 0 | 0 | 0.1 * base vote |
| 1 | 100 | 1 * base vote |
| 2 | 130 | 2 * base vote |
| 3 | 169 | 3 * base vote |
| 4 | 220 | 4 * base vote |
| 5 | 286 | 5 * base vote |
| 6 | 371 | 6 * base vote |
| 7 | 483 | 7 * base vote |
| 8 | 627 | 8 * base vote |
| 9 | 816 | 9 * base vote |
| 10 | 1060 | 10 * base vote |
Base vote
The height of the base vote will depend on how much Voting Power (VP) the account has. I will set the threshold for 95%, as long as it stays lower than this it will decrease over time. When the VP gets over 95% it will increase over time.
Initial setup
Things are subject to change in the future as this is just my first concept. So it might happen that your level or the upvote weight will change over time.
Have fun participating!

Hi,
does this work automatically or should I register for the contest?
Everything is automatically as long as you are using one of the 14 hashtags stated above. If you do not see an automated response do not worry, I am still working things out. I go all over all the entries manually for judging. Enjoy!
Great, thank you for your quick response!
It reminds me of my nights of Dungeons and Dragons :)
Awesome, if you have any ideas of tips. Those are always welcome!
I'm totally lost with all this. Anyway, I'm just entering to support the challenge so it doesn't matter. Thanks for trying to explain your system.
Thanks for supporting the challenge! It is quite easy though, what it comes down to: the more you participate the higher the upvotes will be on your entries to the contests <3
Okay, thanks, I'll remember that :)
Great stuff, still waiting for the winner of the Wednesday challenge :)
