RE: Some thoughts about the upcoming hardfork: It might be great for minnows

in #steemit8 years ago

Great post. But I couldn't understand the point where you mentioned that "but now you can adjust your vote power, so if you adjust your vote power to 50% per vote, you can cast 10 powerful votes to use up your voting power" Is this included in upcoming change as well..? Or it still exists with 20 votes per day and 100%.. How can we adjust our voting power ?

Sort:  

@miserableoracle do you not have the vote slider? When I click to vote a little percentage slider bar pops up which allows me to adjust the power of my vote. I thought this was a universal thing, it showed up for me a few days ago. That is the adjustable vote power I was talking about

Interesting. I never saw that.. Although Steemd showed me the percentage when someone upvoted a comment or post I authored but I never got to understand that.. I still don't get that slider thingy while I cast the vote. Neither I understand if my vote is valuable or not, because I don't possess that much steem power yet I guess...

Just keep going at it, eventually you will start to understand like me. I was a super noob joining Steemit but I finally feel like I am getting a bit of an understanding about it now.

Indeed.. I just saw an overview of upcoming hardfork through steemd.. According to them, they are adjusting the voting counts from 40 to 5.. As far as I understood, the voting was limited to 20 per day otherwise voting penalty will be implicated. Oh well, I will read github more to understand what exactly is going on, may be create a post outlining a few important changes and will ask questions there.. what do you suggest on that ?

I really don't have vote slider, when I vote, it just vote without any pop-up :/

Maybe it has to do with rep? I seemed to notice the slider come up when I hit rep 55 maybe? Or maybe it was just something that they put out to some users first and will put out to everyone later?

it only shows up if you have a certain amount of steem power.

Ah I see, thanks for clearing that up @anarchyhasnogods :)
