Since I've upvoted whatever I could, it is now time to comment - I put it off so as to give myself time to think.
In the steemit editor, I use html - only because I know how to use it. However, as do many coders, I suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, so having to place the markers for opening and closing paragraphs for each paragraph, means my hands are in pain by the end of my day. So I am looking forward to seeing how yours works.
As for the matter of beneficiaries: I assume it means I am designating that the income from my post (upvotes received) will be split, the 10% as noted, plus 90% as I choose...but that comes from the 50% I am receiving in Steem, not the SP part? If so, it means you are actually getting 5% of the total? Is that after the curators have taken their 25%? I ask as I saw witnesses discussing changes to the curator earnings (they say that posters are not important to steemit, only the curators, so they should earn more, and the poster less - if I recall correctly, somewhere between 35 to 40% for curators).
I am not going to volunteer to test since, as you know, I am using an older system which finds ways of causing problems :))
Now, something so simple I am embrrassed to ask, but I've never seen anyone explain it. When I use steemit, for certain processes I am asked to login again and enter my password - either the posting one, or for transferring funds, the active one. It is that simplistic for me. Then I come across you asking for a keychain. Is that a different wallet with other passwords? For instance, I created a Steem Keychain (through steemengine) but I cannot use it as it needs me to move to at least Win7. When I can buy a small harddrive, I intend moving to Mint (Linux) so not going to Win 7.
I'm not sure, if this is what you need, but paragraphs will be created automatically with my editor. You just type in your text and it will open a new paragraph after hitting the return key twice:
The beneficiary part is being subtracted beforehand (10% of the 75% that goes to the author). Here is a great info graphic by @jga that shows how the payout is being spread. It's a bit outdated (was HF19 logic with 30 minutes curator time window and beneficiary rewards only in SP), but it's still very useful:
I'm currently not using it anymore and I do understand why Steemit does not implement it in it's current state (I guess they will come up with an own solution or fork it and clean up the code, encrypt/hide visible private keys in the settings dialog etc.), but it is still the one extension we have and it works good for most cases (has just been a bit buggy with Firefox on my end, but I'm not sure, if that's still the case).
Thanks. Which sounds like you are getting more?
10% of Author share
or
7.5% of total earned? (if you are earning 10% of the 75%). I would say choose that which SOUNDS less, it is always a better marketing strategy.
They are exactly the same, so maybe I am just quibbling.
Is there any likelyhood of editors ever allowing more than one kind of font (as in html) and colour of fonts? I am posting books of mine (12 x 750 pages) which need colours and fonts for the story to make sense, which as things currently stand, means I will have to post the pages as images of each page - a very cumbersome way of posting and, I imagine, expensive in memory usage. Also, I seem to recall that number of words in a post are important...though I do not recall whether they affect Rep or anything else.
Thanks for taking the time to reply, I am aware of how busy you are and appreciate it.
