RE: Obligatory HF19 notice, and the near future of FOSSbot Voter
I have been voting freely, but have noticed (because I do it a lot) that sometimes my vote does produce a reward, but sometimes it does not. I don't want my vote to be without value to the people whose posts or comments I vote on, so the fact that my vote has variable value is something I have to understand.
If each vote simply had a value, then I could simply decide to vote for things I liked, or not vote for things I don't. EZ PZ. This is not the case.
I'd be interested in reading an exploration of this particular issue. Maybe other people are having it like you.
From my perspective I don't worry about the exact amount that my vote contributes. For me it's a given that it is taken into account (the main thing) and that the value is see is not necessarily reflective of the actual payout.
A simple vote value isn't Steemit. It's a little complex by design.
"It's a little complex by design." LOL you're sure right about that!
As I have been devouring Steemit's offerings today I have been watching my votes decrease in value. It was more than twice as much when I started today. This is probably what I have been seeing before, but since my vote was only worth ~$.02 max, it soon became too little to show.
How are you feeling about HF19? I'm surprised, and so far happily. Many people are far more pleased with their rewards, and seem to be intent on posting more and better content. I love it when I predict doom, and I'm wrong, and everything gets better =p
Your voting power decreases the more you vote. This is called vote rate limiting. It recovers gradually over time according to this:
Again from the whitepaper:
There's definitely a renewed spirit on the platform since yesterday. Exciting times!
