Done. My voting power is winding down. I need to let it recharge to gain more voting weight.

Steem on,
Mike

Is this a thing? I didn't know your voting power goes up and down, I thought it could only go up as your rep and steem power holdings go up? Do I need an education here?

Here is a link where you can watch your activity log and your voting power among other parameters: https://steemd.com/
Just put your username after it like this: https://steemd.com/@dexter-k

The activity log helps you keep an eye on posts, comments, and voting. Clicking on the link to the post brings up the behind the scenes information on a post.
I have found the steemd site to be very helpful.

My voting percentage is down in the 80's. That's it for me.

Steem on,
Mike

Thanks for that link. My voting power is at 84. Is that really low? I haven't received curation rewards in days...And what are "vests"

The way I understand it, voting power doesn't really mean very much for us minnows. The higher your voting power is, the more weight each vote worth. The weight behind each minnow vote is so low that I don't think there much of a difference if you are voting at 100% or 70%.

Based on Dan's post from earlier this week, I think curation rewards are a function of your current steampower, voting power and when you actually vote (or your vote number). Since the steam power for minnows is so low, we usually don't get any curation rewards, at least I've never received any. Once you are a dolphin or a whale, you need to watch more closely how you vote. If you vote too often on unpopular stuff it will give a lower payout then voting on popular stuff less frequently.
