The Easiest Way to Change Your Voting Power After HF19 - Go to chainBB!
As the Hard Fork 19 is upon us, there is advice about how it will affect the number of votes we can cast in a day. If you spend a lot of time curating, or just like to vote a lot, it may be sensible to decrease your Voting Power down to below 100%.
Now, I've seen that there is a very simple way of doing this. Just go to the chainBB forum and on every article your Vote button tells you exactly what your current Voting Power is. And, if you click on the arrow a dropdown box appears and just use the slider to change that Power. In the image above, I have changed it from 100% to 70%. The 99% figure is the Effectiveness - it is this number that drops every time you vote, then rises again with time.
Better still, your choice is sticky, so the next time you vote it will automatically show the last value used.
Isn't that easy?!
If you have not used chainBB yet, you will need to login first using your private posting key.
I also assume that the changes made to your Voting Power also transfer to your votes on Steemit.
Thanks for reading!
nice advise :)!!
Thanks, but there is one question for which we need one of chainBB team (like @jesta) to answer: does the Voting Power change also affect it in Steemit?
I may have been presumptuous here! A vote cast from Steemit looks like it may still be 100%.
mmm... I guess just keep voting on chainBB instead!
I guess the voting power setting is just for chainbb's side, (like an option in chainbb)
but you can try it out very easily by voting and looking at the blockchain data (sadly im not near any computer, cannot try it for you)
Yes, it looks that way. Let's wait for a chainBB admin reply - it might be something easily changed :-) especially as it makes no sense to have different voting powers on the two sites.
I tried it - one vote from Steemit and one from chainBB - different %.
Reading other posts, we get the same slider once we hit a SP threshold, but I don't know what that is... yet!
ya thats we i expected as well
As I could recall
The threshold is 1M Vest, which is around 47x Steem Power, in which we are still hell far from there lol
btw check me new post :)
free 5SBD party haha~
Yes as someone who upvotes comments a lot this feature is good for me
Thank you for the tip:) I'm the one who exactly loves to vote a lot, now will keep an eye on it:)
Yeah, I also like upvoting comments, so that can eat into one's effective power.
Thanks!
