Once you have one hunt approved you start moving up the scale. I only had one hunt approved, now i just upvote,resteem, and comment. Yesterday i made 250 steemhunt tokens and I only have a 10 cent vote. I may not even even post another hunt since upvoting hunts is way easier, I'm almost at level 3 and like i said i only did one hunt. I don't think rejected ones hurt you, not sure, I had 4 or 5 rejected. Your (rep) and time on steem and follower numbers all count towards your score too.

Also you need 10 thousand minimum to move hunt tokens to your ERC20 wallet so 99 percent of these people who just got airdrop and dont participate on steemhunt won't be able to move coins, unless they had over 10 thousand SP. Its really easy to earn steemhunt tokens, I only vote for hunt posts now. Also change up percent on upvotes, dont just give 10 100 percent ones and leave, They have criteria for how these are calculated i cant remember where.
