RE: Conserving Voting Power : Why Bother?
I think I'm going to take a middle ground stance on this. I'm in agreement with you that there's really no reason to be keeping your voting power at our near 100%. If you're wanting to give as high a vote as possible 10-11 100% votes because of either a desire to give the most you can, or because you don't have a lot to give and you want to at least leave $0.01, I get it. But by the end of the day, you should have your VP recharging at least for the time period that you sleep, or until the next time you're getting on Steemit.
The only caveat I would have is that unless those with less than 100 SP are only voting on things that already have $0.02-$0.03 or above left on them, anything lower than that won't make the dust payout threshold. Those of us with higher SP can do a lot more voting before we hit that amount, but the lower SP folks will have to watch what they do for their votes to count.
It's a very good point. Thank you once again for helping knock the rough edges off my ideas! :)
How do I find out what the dust vote threshold is? I am thinking I should clarify that point today.
Well, I'd probably start with Tim Cliff's post, since he's the reason why I even know about the payout dust threshold.
The vote dust threshold (I didn't know but there are two dust thresholds and they're different) is set to go away with HF 20, whenever that happens. That was in the steemitblog's HF 20 Velocity update back in late December.
Thanks mate. Have I told you lately just how much of a champion you are? You've certainly got your finger on the pulse for anything STEEM related!
I think this might be the first time you've called me a champion, but apparently I've got you convinced I know something about this place. Kind of feels like the blind leading the not-that-blind, but okay. :) I am happy to be helpful however I can.
So modest. Ok, so maybe you're not an expert but you've got some kind of "Jack of all
tradesSTEEM" thing going on here.
