RE: SteemReports - When Do You Get Your Vote Slider? The answer!
Not sure how it works, but when using Busy.org you also get a slider when voting from an account with less SP.
Any idea how this works?
Does Busy.org just interact with the blockchain differently and lets any account split their votes?
I would be curious to know!
I haven't actually used busy.org yet, but yes, that's exactly right. There's nothing preventing any front-end app (that you give your posting key to) from awarding a lower vote weight to a post or comment.
I seem to remember reading that restricting the slider was a decision in Steemit to prevent users with low SP, from using too much blockchain space and bandwidth with what they call 'dust' (very low votes that don't have any impact on payouts).
The API function a programmer would use asks for the vote weight between -100.0 and 100.0% - negatives for flags.
Thanks for the clarification!
That's what I thought, indeed.
