RE: Do you want to support FBA in my support of the little guys on steem?
If you will sign up with steemauto.com you can follow people that will make a list of votes in your steemd account.
I was using steemvoter, but their price tag got toooo high for me, and then I found steemauto.
By doing this you can set the percentage you want to vote those folks with that you follow.
You can also set a percentage in steemauto for how much you want to devote to me.
Just pick what percentage of my vote you want to have.
If you follow the trail with like 10% it shouldn't impact your vp much, and won't keep you from getting the slider as quick as a delegation would.
If it takes you too low you can change it later.
Doing this will give you a list of authors to read, too.
Just follow your votes on steemd.com/@bitfiend.
It is definitely hard to build sp now that it's not .2usd anymore.
I would hate to start out now, most of what I have was gotten when the price was under .25usd.
I thought it was bad when I started with 3 steem, but that low price helped a lot.
It only gets worse as the price rises.
So is that how people who clearly don't have a vote slider are voting with a lower percentage?
Well, there are other ways, but that is probably it.
Fossbot is an option if you got some skillz.
I think the cli wallet lets you do stuff like that, too.
That's neat, I will look into it. I've followed your trail (looks like I'm the first one!). I set it at 10%, it won't be very heavy since I'm still a minnow but I'm excited to watch it work.
I've never upvoted for curation profits, but because it was good content. So I'm not worried about roi, I'm happy with the typical 0.001 SP that I get in curation rewards, and it'll only grow from here.
Alright, you got that going for you!
Curation rewards depend on vote weight, so it may not register on the ui, but the minnow math is done on the blockchain, I'm told.
Let me know if it votes on comments, too?
I'm not sure that it follows my comment votes, it may only vote posts.
Looks like that's a no for comments as it doesn't show anything on steemd. I think it'll have to be an actual post.
I didn't think I got rewards for those low weights, (any curation rewards less than 0.001) that's something I didn't know. Thanks!
There is a dust level cut off, but I don't know exactly what it is.
When I first got going they told me that the ui cutoff and the dust cutoff were not the same, that the minnow math is done on the blockchain.
I had to change the voting power limit (it was at 70% while im at 59%) so it should work now!
Yeah, that would do it.
