RE: (Re-)Create Life in a Lab - Part I

Handy hint: Do NOT power up your posts. You will make a lot more money doing 50/50 payout as long as SBD is higher than $1, and right now it's almost $7. so for 50% of your post income you can be earning 7x more than ifi you power up...

Sort:  

I was not aware of that (i didn't even receive my first payment). I thought that receiving your reward as 50% STEEM / 50% STEEMPOWER and powering-up was the same as receiving the whole reward directly in steempower. Isn't the reward supposed to be the same no matter the currency (since they are all interchangeable anyway) ?
Thanks a lot for the advice !

as an author, you get 75% of the rewards. say your post is standing at 100$ - you get 75$. half of it - 37.5$ - is payed in steem power - this matches the $ price of SP exactly. Half of it, however, is payed in steem dollars (SBD), which are supposed to be at 1 USD. So you get 37.5 SBD. But currently, SBD aren't worth 1 USD, but 7. So you would get much more if you go for the 50/50 split, and just buy Steem from the SBD, atm.

Ok i thought that the price shown was always calculated according to the current value of SBD (so i would just get less SBD when the price is higher), i guess i lost good money on this one . I'll know for the next time :)
