Hello, appreciated @ew-and-patterns.

I recently received an upvote from you and then I decided to check out your blog.

I may notice that you haven't had any posting activity for a while and you may not have enough free time to do efficient voting rounds either.

With all due respect I would like to propose something to you:

We have been monitoring the upvoting patterns of many users on Steem and Hive. And it is clear to me that many of them do not control their voting power well.
Some are depleting voting power with tons of upvotes, and others very often hit 100% voting power and "sit" in that full VP for quite some time, before casting a new upvote.

In my community: "Project Hope", we have developed an efficient system of the use of the VP that might interest you. So far we are combining a 50% manual / 50% automated system but we are working on developing an application that we can offer to users.

At Project Hope we take advantage of the non-linear reward curve and in this way, once we do an upvote with our little curation trail (@ ph-support) these are followed by positive votes from strong accounts like @therising (almost 300k SP), @project.hope (230k) and @eric818 (100k) thus obtaining greater curation rewards.

I would like to invite you to join our curation trail (@ph-support), I can assure you that you will see positive results immediately.

I greet you very warmly.
