Sorry for not making it more clear. It's not 7.1% voting power. It means you have to make 7.1 votes at 100% power per 24h hours, to make up for the dilution rate. (if you assume getting 25% of you vote value back that is). I presented it like this to quantify the amount of work/activity is required to counter the dilution rate.
As I replied to fitzgibbon, you best bet in the long term would probably be to focus on making good posts and voting on good content. Thant will strengthen the STEEM value and come back to you as a STEEM/SP holder with even greater return.
And I know for a fact that is what you are already doing Mark!
Thanks for stopping by again!
