RE: Steemit Things I've Learned In My First 7 Days - #1

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Yep as a new person you only get 10 votes per day, yes you can vote more but you only recover 20% a day after 10 votes you are drained to 80% voting power and till you get your slider you need to vote for only the stuff you like the best. And it can take longer than 5 days to repower if you get into the negative numbers with your voting. When I was new I drained so bad it took me 10 days to power back up to 100%

Awesome @tecnosgirl, thank you for adding more (and better) information for the people here. I haven't even gotten into what happens on the "negative" numbers (and hopefully don't experience that for awhile. :)

I understand that it does take a long time to come back up though, I was below 5% when I learned this and I have had to show restraint ever since. Its kind of a good thing though as I look back, because it taught me how to do other things and engage other people. Without the simple upvote as a quick expression of favor, I found that I actually had to think about what I wanted to express in a message and accurately reflect that in my messages. That has been a blessing as I have made deeper impact in the messages than I have ever done on any posts.

Plus a bonus is that I have met hundreds of new people in many different field of life (all around the world). So being in "recharging mode" isn't such a bad thing afterall :)

Again, thank you for taking the time to give us more accurate information and for also caring what happens to us "newbies" :)
