RE: Announcement: All votes will be up to 8 times more powerful in new hard fork!
Thanks for this update, I'll make the appropriate changes to the FAQ. Is the following accurate?
If you can currently place 40 votes worth $0.10 each, with this update, each day you'll be able to place:
- 40 votes worth $0.10 (at 12.5% slider power).
- 20 votes worth $0.20 (at 25% power).
- 10 votes worth $0.40 (at 50% power).
- 5 votes worth $0.80 (at 100% power).
- Almost any other vote combination worth a total of $4.00.
If a user wants to place five votes each day, she can do so at 100%. She also has the option to place:
- 10 votes at 50%
- 20 votes at 25%
- 25 votes at 20%
- 50 votes at 10%
- 100 votes at 5%
- 500 votes at 1%
Yes, that's all approximately correct. There is another option: leave your slider at 100%, vote 40 times per day, and your voting power will equilibrate somewhere around 12.5% and it will be as though you've been voting with the slider at 12.5%.
The difference is that if you adjust your weight with the slider (like in your examples), your account voting power stays high and you leave yourself a reserve (so if some spectacular post comes along and you want to give it a massive vote, you will be able to). On the other hand, If you vote a lot at 100% and just let your power equilibrate wherever it equilibrates, you will have spent that whole reserve already.
If I could sum it all up, I'd say: "vote however many times you want; voting at full power is better unless you're sure you understand the tradeoffs; don't ever let your voting power recharge to 100%."
