Hi Steemians
Up until now, to benefit from upvotes from @smartvote you had to delegate a minimum of 25 SP that would give you daily upvotes using 10 times that SP, that is 25 x 10 = 250 SP which today is about 0.02 STU.
With our recent update we are bringing in two changes:
- The minimum SP is now only 2 SP.
- You can now register and increase your member account SP by adding shares.
Let us go through those two changes.
New minimum SP
Dropping the minimum SP to 2 allowed us to implement the SmartVote shares functionality without adding too much complexity to its usability. However, it brings up another small issue that we want to clarify.
Now that the minimum SP delegation is just 2 SP, smaller accounts can choose to join us but you need to keep in mind that delegating 4 SP will only gives you upvotes at 4 x 10 = 40 SP which, at today price of STEEM, is just $0.003 STU. You will see it shown as $0.00 on Steemit.com because they are rounding it to two decimals. However, you can verify that the upvotes you receive from @smartvote are correct by using other dApps such as steempeak.com because they show upvotes values with 3 decimals. Your SmartVote dashboard is now also displaying received upvotes values with 4 decimals.
Buying SmartVote Shares (SVS)
Buying shares for yourselves
Buying SmartVote Shares (referred as SVS from now on in this article) will allow you to get lifetime upvotes from @smartvote without delegation. Just transfer 1 STEEM to @smartvote and receive 2 SVS giving you 4 SP and a daily upvote of 4 x 10 = 40 SP.
Basically, for each 1 STEEM transferred to @smartvote we will upvote your content with 40 SP, that is 40x!
Here is a table of examples:
| Transfer amount | Shares | SP | Upvote SP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 STEEM | 2 SVS | 4 SP | 40 SP |
| 2 STEEM | 4 SVS | 8 SP | 80 SP |
| 5 STEEM | 10 SVS | 20 SP | 200 SP |
| 10 STEEM | 20 SVS | 40 SP | 400 SP |
| 50 STEEM | 100 SVS | 200 SP | 2000 SP |
How: just send a round amount of STEEM to @smartvote, no MEMO required.
Buying shares a friend
You can also purchase shares for one or multiple other Steemians giving them a lifetime upvote on posts and comments.
This functionality is also great if you are organising contests. You could offer SmartVote Shares as prize.
Split shares purchase
Very similar to buying shares for a friend, this feature allows you, in a single command, to buy shares for other Steemians and receive half of the purchased shares.
How to buy SmartVote shares
Buying shares for yourself
Simply go to your wallet and send a 1 STEEM to @smartvote. If you want to buy more shares, send more STEEM the price is 2 shares = 1 STEEM. You can only buy shares in multiple of 2 so only send round amount of STEEM.
Buying shares for one or more friend
To buy shares for one or more friends, the process is the same but add your friend’s Steem name in the MEMO for example @friend.
For multiple friends, add a list of friends separated by a space, for example: @friend1 @friend2 @friend3, each of them will receive an equal amount of shares.
SteemConnect links for buying SVS
To make your life easier, you can use the following SteemConnect links:
- buy 2 SVS and get 40 SP upvotes with 1 STEEM: https://steemconnect.com/sign/transfer?to=smartvote&amount=1%20STEEM
- buy 4 SVS and get 80 SP upvotes with 2 STEEM: https://steemconnect.com/sign/transfer?to=smartvote&amount=2%20STEEM
- buy 6 SVS and get 240 SP upvotes with 3 STEEM: https://steemconnect.com/sign/transfer?to=smartvote&amount=3%20STEEM
- buy 10 SVS and get 400 SP upvotes with 5 STEEM: https://steemconnect.com/sign/transfer?to=smartvote&amount=5%20STEEM
We have also updated our MEMO Commands Tool to help with creating your custom SteemConnect link.
Advanced share purchase
For more complex operations, you could use a combination of the methods above to obtain the same thing but we've added some more control via MEMO commands to make your life easier:
- you can add your own Steem username in the MEMO to get an equal amount of shares as your friends. For example: send 3 STEEM (6 SVS) with the MEMO
@me @friend1 @friend3and the three of you will get 2 shares each. - to buy shares for one or more friends and get yourself half of the total shares use the following MEMO:
half @friend1 @friend2 @friend3. For example: if you send 6 STEEM (12 SVS) with the memohalf @friend1 @friend2 @friend3and you will personally receive 6 while giving your friends 2 shares each.
Combine SP Delegation and SmartVote Shares
You can choose to receive upvotes from @smartvote by:
- only delegating SP to @smartvote
- only purchasing shares with @smartvote
- or combining both delegation and shares

Ummm.... your vote to me seems a bit on the LOW side. I'm also displaying your footer banner, so I should get the bonus for the banner. (Just because the vote is on an older post that doesn't yet have the banner doesn't mean I'm not advertising for you).
(Comment edited for clarity)
Then again... I'm not sure HOW you calculate that 20% bonus since the example doesn't show the math. 20% of what exactly?
Thanks!
Hi @happyme,
First of all, thank you for your participation.
You have made a delegation of 2500SP which currently gives you an upvote weight of 16.4% which at the current STEEM price gives you $0.677 upvotes on your content.
You can verify on https://www.steemnow.com/upvotecalc.html that at 2500SP a single of your own upvote would be worth $0.07 STU (actually $0.0677 STU rounded up). So SmartVote effectively upvoted you at 2500 SP x 10. As price of STEEM fluctuate, the actual value in STU will also change.
As for the footer banner, we are adding 20% of your current upvote weight. So 16.4% + 20% = 19.68%. The current system can only add those 20% to the post currently voted on. We will bring this topic up for internal discussion.
Hello @smartvote.
Thank-you for your response. I understand the first part and don't have an issue with the amount of up-vote without the bonus. It is the bonus that I am questioning. If the bonus expires at the end of this month and it takes 5 days just for the bonus to begin to show up, then I'm not going to get very many bonus credits, am I ?
Are you intending to extend that bonus period at all? If not, and in any case, I think it is only fair that the bonus is paid out for as many days AFTER the expiry of the promotion as it took for the bonus to kick in.
I'm looking forward to growing together.
The bonus was implemented since the start of the project, 3 months ago, just like any promotional offer it has an expiry time so the earlier you join the more you benefit from it.
You could also have edited your older posts and add the banners to them as still get the bonus on those. You still can do so for you current unvoted posts.
There is actually a plan to extend the end of the bonus period until Dec 31st.
We have also upvoted your current comment with 10% which should be more than the 5 missed bonus.

Hi @mango-juice,
We sure are still active. Feel free to ask any question here or on our Discord server if it is easier https://discord.gg/nGkEtAc
Hi @summisimeon,
Good question 😊, SmartVote is encouraging the daily creation of good content on the platform to add value to it and sustaining it for the long term. If you don't post today, you loose the upvote. However, we have couple of alternatives in place in order to mitigate the situation:
daily payoutand receive STEEM in your wallet instead of upvotes. However, because we want encourage more of content writing we will soon limit this feature to only 60 consecutive days with a 30-days cooling period between each.I hope this answers your question.
