Well right now your voting power is at 60% and your SP is 45. A vote for you is going to cost you 2% bringing your voting power down to 58% and that vote will be worth 60% what it would be worth had you waited till your voting power was 100%. So you are almost voting with half the power you could be by over voting.

Doesn't explain to me how I am making a loss over that! Yes, I do know that everyone's VP replenishes back at the rate of about 0.83% per hour. So at 80% VP it will be about 0.67% addition in an hour whereas at 60% VP it will be about 0.50% addition per hour. Are you willing to point me towards this?
But I really don't care for that as overall impact to my curation reward is very negligible. And I'd like to be on the side of over spending than just letting my VP redundant due to under-spending on some day.
To each his own. But simple math shows you are throwing your votes away when you can manage them over a 7 day period for posts/comments you like to maximize the power they influence. Vote down to 10% Voting Power by all means you will need 100x more just to matter at that point..
Well let me share my story. I ain't a very heavy Steemit user. I mean I ain't online 24 hours continuously upvoting. There are days when I can spend more time here than some other days when I can't spend a moment for Steemit. For example, the days when I used to maintain my VP over 90%, when I used to sleep and do other choirs, I'd normally return to the platform after a gap of about 12 hours. So if I left my account with about 95% VP, I'll really wasting more than 5% of replenishment as my VP can not go over 100%. And this is only for a small gap of half a day. What if I ain't using steemit for couple of days? I'd be making much more losses. So over spending my VP makes better sense to me than under spending. I can't be so consistent with my voting frequency compared to the replenishment rate. So you rightly said that to each his own. And for me, "overspending" (the way you will call it) suits me more.
Thanks for all your advice anyway!
That is a good valid point, that is where phase 2 comes in to play! Keep in touch you won't want to miss out on this!
Another thing I'd like to point out is that as you said; a vote for me won't cost 2% as in bringing my VP down to 58 from 60 but it will cost me 2% of 60 i.e. only 1.2 VP bringing down my VP to 58.8 from 60. And that's the advantage of being at 60! At 100% VP your 10 votes would bring down your VP by about 20% where as at 60% VP, I can vote almost twice than you and spread my votes more until I hit my VP to 40%. So figure out who is losing what 😉
And I bet with your SP over 4,000 you are not always voting at your 100% vote weight. You must be playing around with your sliding scale? Aren't you?
Well, I just checked up and found that your last vote (the only vote you made in the last hour) was weighed at only 4% despite your VP is over 80%. 😉
So why do you expect planktons & red fishes to always cast their vote at 100% vote weight?
(Well, I know, much of my calculations aren't exact since I ain't good at math but you get the drift. I'd probably do the exact calculation with the help of a calculator when I'd write a post on this subject some time).
Waiting for your phase-2. Following you!
