Never let your Voting Power overflown

Everyone's effective Steem Power(SP) worth something, and what makes it worth something is our precious Voting Power(VP). In HF19, everyone has a VP meter where the maximum is 100% at the regeneration rate 20% every day. Use it or not, VP stop regenerate at 100%. By that, it means wasting.

Wasting the VP you could have used for voting, wasting the SP that make your vote worth something, wasting the money you could have casted to own/other's articles. So the key is, never let the VP stays at 100% unspent.

There are several ways to make sure not to waste voting power:

• Delegate SP to others. You receive nothing but the grace from the delegatees.

• Rent SP to projects like @minnowbooster or @utopian. You receive Steem or SBD in return for the lending.

• Actively casting votes, so that the voting power could never to be full.

• Use custom/third-party bot to cast votes.

Any of the above-mentioned methods will keep your VP busy and not wasted. My personal favorite way is the last one. There is a 'Sell Vote' feature offered by @minnowbooster which you can set it up using this guide. You can define a condition whereby the bot will only use your posting key to vote when your VP is up to certain level. By this way, you will get to earn the curation reward at the same time @minnowbooster will pay you some SBD for selling them your vote.

As I always try to keep my VP around 90%, I set sell my vote to the bot whenever VP reach 99%. In other word, @minnowbooster will start to vote for me as long as my VP is above 99%. The bot reacts to the rule promptly so that I will never reach 100% while maintain at high level of VP. Not bad.

No matter what method you use, never let the VP overflown.

充分利用每天恢复 20% 的 Voting power (VP) 是非常重要的事，因为一旦达到 100% 而不使用，就意味着浪费 Steem power 赋予投票的力量，也意味着浪费金钱。

有几种方法确保不让 VP 过满而形成浪费：

• 每天踊跃投票，让 VP 远远低于 100% 。

• 把 SP 出租给@minnowbooster 或 @utopian 类似的服务，它们会提供一定的报酬。

• 把 SP 无酬委托给别人，除了被委托者的感恩什么也得不到。

• 用机器人定制自动投票机制。

以上的方法都可以确保 VP 不会过剩。个人而言，我最喜欢最后一个方法，但不是自己做个机器人那么麻烦，当然最重要还是因为我不会， 而是通过卖赞给 @minnowbooster 的方式来进行，不明白的可以参考这篇文章。

我让他们的机器人只有在我的 VP 达到 99% 或以上时才执行卖赞，所以 VP 不会过剩的同时也确保时时保持在高 VP 的状态，卖赞也还会有 SBD 的收入呢，一举三得哦！

你又有什么高招呢？不管如何，请不要让 VP 过剩就是了。
