RE: SBD TA projection for Jan 2018
Yeah, that is somewhat crazy the way they are doing it.. I would be a bit more deceptive I think and go to old old post and upvote my comments there, little here, little there.. nothing big.. if it were my intention to game the system on the down low.. Create a couple accounts to vote myself up as well.. I am curious how this problem will end up being addressed that is for sure.
And to go to all that trouble to hide what can't be hidden!
I do it openly. 50% of my VP for me, 50% for others contributing quality content. I wouldn't be here if I wasn't rewarding myself. Wouldn't have ever powered up. The fact is that this is now one of the best ways "to mine" that there is! I've been mining since late 2012, and I'm thrilled to be here, "mining", and producing something of value in return too! With practically no carbon footprint! Doing something I enjoy, but mind you, I've been on BBs, Forums, even done a [sucessful] stint on Disqus (with other 3rd party publishing as well) and I gave them all up simply because my time is better rewarded doing other things (as anyone who's ever tried to run a profit on the internet well knows, as you well know). The only reason why I'm here is the financial coupling. Even though it still pays horribly, at least I've got some sort of justification. 😆
And it might just turn out to be as revolutionary as we think it might be.
BB's, wow that brings me back to my wildcat days and tradewars.. lol back in the 9600 modem days.. Yeah I have been in the game for a while, grabbed my first BTC sub $100... remember when coinbase opened up.. Yeah it has been something to see this industry grow, and perhaps you are correct, 50/50 may be a good idea and smart way to do things. Right now I'm spending 95 percent or more on everyone else.. not that my .04 really helps but my rep can a little bit for the 25 club. I may change as I grow more on the platform. See how I feel as I start smashing milestones, 10k ,25k, etc.
Yeah, I was referring to my blogging experience, originally unrelated to crypto, and dating back, back before the word blogging ever existed. 😮
And I gave it up because, even though I had many a happy reader, I made no money doing it and I could no longer justify giving so much away for free.
BTW, I will be upvoting your comments in this thread as well since I consider it to be a very good conversation that I judge as being valuable to the community - certainly worth much more than the 15 or so measly dollars we'll take home as a result . . . but like I've been saying, something is better than nothing.
Thank you, I'll take it, probably of more importance than the $$$ for me at this point is the rep.. I figure if I get in the 65+ area it would be more difficult for certain members of the community to affect me in that regard, they can still swipe post rewards but I have found the rep matters more in the long term when trying to reach an audience. I myself find that when scrolling through the new I tend to default to 55 or higher when looking for articles.
How does having a high rep benefit you more than having high steem power?
Well initially those tending to want to follow me don't look at my wallet, they look at my rep in the new or whatever category my article shows up. Then they check my wallet. It also helps as it makes it more difficult for certain evil forces to hurt my account..
