Hang in there! I am new too, you have a much better grasp of the crypto side of this than I do. As part of my daily routine, I try to find one minnow and give them an upvote and some encouragement. You are my pet fish today... lol! I just watched a video about voting power that I thought was quite useful, basically it says you have 10 votes a day that have impact. I try to use those 10 votes every day and post every day, I do not freak out about missing either goal. However, that is all I have done and I am over 100 SB in about 6 weeks, not bad for no real effort beyond what I do one facebook.
