RE: New to Steem? Here are a few basic tips...

in #steemit7 years ago

We each have our own technique. Until you get a slider after getting enough power to like it then you will possibly want to be more sparing in your votes as they will default to 100%. This will depreciate your voting power quickly.

If you go to https://steemd.com/@yourusername it gives a lot of good information... in your case it would actually be https://steemd.com/@xistentialshadow

As you vote:

that voting power % goes down and your votes become less and less effective. This is to prevent people from simply up voting everything without thought or creating bots to intentionally drain the reward pool to their own benefit.

Once you get a slider being able to set a % of your vote enables you to vote more often. I tend to vote 10% on comments. That means I can up vote 10 comments before they equal the same as a single 100% vote.

I vote a lot so this tends to be an issue for me.

It is something that each person does slightly different, so you'll really just need to find what works best for you.

Thanks! That makes sense and I had no idea all the information available at the steemd link. Very helpful!
