The above is my VIP Team Australia Wirex Card. Pity it does not have any steem on it yet.
Anyway, in the past days I have been frustrated that many of my upvotes had no valuation, I did some research and I will now try to recharge my upvoting power to 100%.
Use upvoting to promote content you enjoy, earn some of the rewards from the posts by following some upvoting rules and make it more profitable for everyone.
Some rules to follow:
Read the post before upvoting it or you could be upvoting some utter nonsense.
It is recommended that you upvote your own posts.
Edited, no longer valid: When you upvote within 15 minutes you will allocate 99.94% to the author and get 00.06%.
Edited, no longer valid: When you upvote after 15 minutes you give 50% to the author and receive 50%.
Edited, no longer valid: When you upvote after 30 minutes you will receive 100% of the curation reward.

mattclarke65 · 4 minutes ago Hey LuckyDigger. The first half hour is tricky and not as you've described. Originally, curation rewards were for being early to upvote content which went on to be popular. The problem was that people had bots set up to upvote posts from popular authors immediately. This left no time for human curators to read the content. To combat this, the rules were changed, now if you vote in the first half hour any curation reward you get is divided between you and the author. If you voted in the first minute, the author gets 97% of your reward, after ten minutes he gets 66% and after 20 mins he gets 33%. Its broken down minute by minute.
The more upvotes you do in a 24 hour period the less each of your upvotes is worth.
It is recommended that you execute a maximum of 24 upvotes per 24h.
Try not to vote on content that is already popular.
Upvote content that interests you and that you think could become popular.
Follow the 10 rules of upvoting!
How to find your current upvoting power?
Go to https://steemdb.com/@lucky.digger, replace my username with yours. It will look something like this:
If you look in the top right hand section, you will see this:
Here you can see my voting power is now 43%. Try to keep it above 70% or many of your votes will have considerably less value than they could have.
If you liked my post, then please follow, upvote and resteem, but please also leave a comment.
Your good friend, Lucky Digger

Thank you for commenting. I will edit and hope that is alright with you. Thank you again, my good friend.
Please check in the parent text, can we leave it like that? OK?
You're welcome to keep it like that, although your text is still incorrect.
At 15 mins any curation reward is split evenly between author and upvoter.
Can we leave it like is now? Please forgive me buddy. I had researched erroneous steemit posts.
It's your post, mate :)
Good luck. Hope you do well.
Just want this information to be right. Nothing worse than distributing incorrect crap!
thanks for putting it in simple terms, not too much information and very accurate. I will upvote and follow
Do you mind also commenting on @avvah's question further down? Thanks buddy.
My pleasure @jaycobbell. I am upvoting your comment and following you. My upvote is now worth 2c, if I was charged it would be around 10c. This has caused my upvoting power to go down by around 2%. Enjoy, my friend!
Since this new HF19 I'm keen to become an orginal curator. Starting a new followers list of people rep between 40-59.
Please elaborate, I am a newbie and have no clue what you are talking about?

Thnks i am going to follow as well
Resteemed and Upped. Cheers for the very useful guide!.
having seen a few posts about them, im now looking into wirex cards a little more. all the best ~ Chris
Highly appreciated my good friend. Visit here again in 3 days.
:D Will do!
"Try not to vote on content that is already popular." What is the reasoning behind this?' I think I know, but can you tell me?
@avvah, This is the information I have picked up about steem upvoting. It concerns your own curation rewards, the idea being that you want to not waste your votes on things that are already popular, but are looking for content that WILL BECOME POPULAR. Have I answered to your use? Or do you still need more clarification?
Thank you for your message to me. Search for good content. There are so many minnows with great content. Give them the the A+ and the golden star. Your right!. Let's keep those little minnows of which I am one, some encouragement.
BTW.... my "power" is lagging. I neeed to rest. :)
Oh, but you are hot enough to always have power...
Please check the reedited post. @avvah, please excuse my incorrect information that now also clarifies your question correctly.
Hey lucky digger. Thanks for the post. Interesting to know. An upvote for you 👍
By the way, your wirex card image looks great! May I borrow it for my series of Wirex petition posts?
@nolnocluap, it's OK, please use my credit card and go shopping. Say "it's a VIP card from Lucky Digger" and you get a Lambo for free...
