RE: Community support- How to help a Steemian in need by upvoting their comments.

in #community7 years ago (edited)

Here's some rather informative info to go with your post. It's done by a friend and is about 'dust value' (i think that's what they call it) i found it quite surprising actually. And, choose to act differently now that I know this. Let me know what you think.

And, i am curious why you say go to 70%? I always have thought 80% was the threshold.

That's very interesting! Thanks for sharing!

" Currently if a post/comment earns 0.001 to 0.019 SBD worth of rewards - this is rounded down to 0.00. If a post/comment earns at least 0.02 SBD - then they receive their reward.

I wonder why though? I was getting my .001 curation reward on a comment, why would they zero out a 2 cents payout to the author?
It is definitely better to add to an already upvoted post/comment, and in that way piggy backing a 1 cent vote on top of another 1 cent vote. This is the kind of thing that newcomers need to know about. I've been here almost a year now and I'm still learning :)

70% was just a threshold I wrote down at the time. It depends on how strong your voting power is to start with how low you want to take it down to. For someone just starting out their tiny upvote goes down very quickly, but it you have a hefty upvote then you can go far before you get to 70%. It really is just a personal preference :)

Thanks again for sharing, I'll be implementing your advice on my voting strategy going forward :)

You're welcome! It is really important! I hope it doesn't get increased to $0.10 as has been suggested. Plankton and minnows will have such a hard time getting traction. Glad it was useful for you. Peace & joy to you 🌸
