With the whale experiment, it's both easier than before and impossible to do a $100 upvote. Blocktrades did a 100% upvote and brought a post to several hundred dollars on his own. But he had to take it back and lower the vote, or it would have gotten countered.
My guess is that anyone with a billion Vests can do a $100 upvote now but would get countered.
And what do the vests mean? I keep seeing that on steemd, but I'm not sure what that actually translates to
Steem Power basically doesn't exist, it is only a way of presenting Vests. Vests are the real unit of stakeholding behind the scenes. Every new block, the amount of Steem Power which a Vest represents increases very slightly.
Vests are also how we measure if you're a minnow, dolphin, orca or whale. Minnows are below 10 million Vests. Dolphins are above that and below 100 million Vests. Anyone with at least a billion Vests is a whale.
Thank you for that. And you mean anyone with 100M+ is a whale, or is there some secret level in between? x)
>100MV = Orca.
>1000MV = Whale
Oh my gosh, that's funny. Well thank you for explaining it all to me :)
