Feature Request : Visualizing Voting - Gauging the Magic :-)
I am always worried that I am voting too much...
@ned had a great analogy in his post on Tatiana Moroz show about how the voting power pretty much work like a magic gauge in a video game. Why not have that somewhere next in our wallet area?
Watcha think?
hahaha perfect!
I still can't grab the concept of the voting power?
I know you can increase it by using steem to power up.
But, Does your voting power increase or decrease when you vote a lot?
don't think of your voting power decreasing when you vote a lot, think of your voting power being spread evenly over everything you vote for. If you vote for 100 things, then each will get 1% of your power. If you only vote for 20 things then each will get 5% of your power.
I would not hold back on voting just because your power is "low" unless you really want to boost one thing over another.
ahhhhh Now, I get it. thanks @dantheman
Ahhhhh, good to know!
Yep. You start the 24 hour period with 100% voting power and each vote thereafter decreases your "power".
Cool, I guess that's to be implemented from July 4th, is it? Or is 24 hours period already active for voting?
That is a great idea.
Superimposing your voting power gauge over the Account Profile icon in the upper right would be a great way to unobtrusively display it. That way you could see it while you surf too.
