To be clear, all of my steem dollars are in the pot, too.

in #chessmatch8 years ago (edited)

My wallet shot up to around 600 steem, then ground to a halt. Took me far too long to realise we're being paid in steem dollars again, instead of regular steem.

Just to clarify, although I technically only offered all of my steem to a winning black team, I think it would be a little cheap and disingenous to not include steem dollars in that.
Any thoughts on whether/not I should convert those dollars to steem now, or wait until the end of the match?

I'd like to focus on @blocktrades today, but he/she is something of an enigma.


No photos, no background; apparently it's some sort of crypto-exchange hive mind which is good at math.
So in their/her/his honour, I'll take a closer look at the sums of money, instead.

If we ballpark, 600 steem at 0.20, plus $100 in SBD, that gives us around $220 US

We have 103 upvotes so far, making them worth about $2.13 each.

Assuming a black win yesterday:

@blocktrades would be looking at $96,
@armen $77,
@brendio $28,
and the others less than $10 each.

This has fired up my formula itch, so I might look at adding in a total current/potential payout column to my chart from tomorrow.

Also, great to have you on the board, @writingamigo.

I recently recruited a good friend and colleague. He has a personable, friendly nature, and the chiselled physique of a greek statue.
He's blogging on strength and wellness and absolutely knows his content.

I'll be recruiting and mentoring one real life friend each month, and promoting them at the end of each post.

December is Joe, give him a look

Question. ? Im still doing 100% steem power up ! Should i be since the hard fork ? Or is it better to go back to 50/50 ? Im not good at these things its confuseing to me lol ! Thanks for everything! Steem on ! 😉

If you aren't looking to use the funds in the short-term and believe in the longer term value prospects of Steem it still makes sense to get paid 100% in Steem Power. Since the hard fork you can actually access the Steem quicker than previously.

On the other hand, inflation of Steem is no lower, so you are penalised less for holding Steem that is not powered up.

So do i earn more by holding Steem Dollars ? What would you do !? 🤔

If you're not planning on cashing out soon, best to power up 100%.
A: Your post gets a little steem logo so people can see its 100% SP. This is likely to attract more upvotes.
B: Your curation rewards (Upvoting a post which goes on to be successful) are based on your SP balance.
Power up unless you're going to need it in the near future.

Ok wow! Thats great to know, because i have been powering up 100% all this time , so thats good to know ! I will keep doing so ! Thanks a bunch ! 😉👍

Personally I go 50/50 simple because why not. If you need some steem no need to power down.

Ok thanks for your reply ! Steeming on ! 😉

Upvoted followed and resteemed!!!

Thanks riosparada :)
Feel free to post a black move too, if you like one nobody's mentioned.

Hey riosparada. I need a tie breaker vote on today's move. I have 3 possibilities tied on 2 votes each.

I think this is the winning move. Next move is queen to D2 or D4 depending on where he moves his king and I think we have mate!

No chance to escape, unlike my and blocktrades' suggested moves. The position of the knight protects the attacking queen.

On second thoughts, he could block the queen with his knight. Let me think this over some more ...

We take that with our queen. It buys him an extra move (and gives time for a bit more steem to be added to the winning kitty), but I believe there is still no escape.

So sequence would be Black D4b3. White C3d5. Bl D8d5, Wh D3 to either C3 or E2. If E2, then Bl queen D5 to C2. If C3, then black knight F6 to anywhere out of the way of the bishop at G7 for the mate.

Have I overlooked anything?

He can take cover in C4 or C3 if he moves his knight.if am white,i'll go to C4..then B3.

Ah, yes, that knight in B3 is not protected. I thought we definitely had him. It seems there's still life yet.

With blocktrades'..checkmate in 3.ive changed my vote to his ;)

E6 to E5
Whatever he does,we will move to E6 to checkmate in 3!
We have our knight and bishop for checkmate.

White knight to D5 will put us in check.

We have a knight,a queen and a bishop to take his knight..but am going for blocktrades as checkmate in 2 moves.

How? The best I can see is 7 if he makes the right moves.

I can actually see 6..sorry Matty.just enjoying this thing ;)

Am confused now. Let me do my own ;)

I voted for blocktrades ;)

You can upvote as many as you like. No limit :)
