Understanding upvotes
Not sure I understand the upvoting on steem. I just upvoted someone in the amount of $6.00? Usually my upvotes are worth 0.0-0.1 cent! (Although i use em anyway!) Is it based on a combination of the steem power of the original poster and my own steempower? It cant be just from mine. Thanks for any help on the not-so-newbie question!

It would seem to me most likely someone with high SP voted at the same time as you, you can use https://steemd.com to find the blog post you upvoted and see the weight of different votes. It is a little tricky to read but it's a start.
Ok thanks @cryptotax!
Also, if you can check this way.
Go to the post. Next to the upvote symbol is dollar value.
Then the # of Votes.
Click on the number of votes and it will list in order who left the most money.
You will probably see a whale in there above your name.
If you left $6, you will be listed right at the top.
Ok thanks @happymoneyman! Have a good night :)
