I've heard about busy.pay, but I don't know any details. You get upvotes based on your followers SP or something, right? 1 upvote per 24 hours or whatever if you publish a post with the tag busy?

In case I am right about the followers-thing... Wouldn't that ultimately endorse follow-for-follow type of deals? Or at least make it lucrative for follow-beggars in general?

How much are the votes worth?

You're right about it. It's hard to get too far with follow-for-follow because it's based on followers' vests, though, and you need quite a few to get votes. The vote percentage from busy/pay is half of one billionth of your follower vests, which you can find at https://steemdb.com/api/accounts?account=hitmeasap under "followers_mvest". My Busy vote is 34c, it looks like yours would be about 16c. @thedarkhorse would be about 30c.

Is it purely for using their tag? or do you need to actually post on busy?If you need to post on busy how much are they taking per post off the top?

I think you can get it for just using the tag, though I post on Busy because there's no reason not to. They don't take a beneficiary.

Can you calculate how much I will get if I use the busy tag, Tim? ^^

It's not bad actually :o.
                       
I tried posting using busy twice but they actually never give me anything. Weird.    
                       
Anyway, thank you for the calculation :).      

It's hard to find any info on this busy.pay-thing. Just post through busy.org and use the 'busy' tag? And then be lucky enough to get an upvote? Is that any different from ow it as a couple of months ago?
It confuses me that there's so little info to be found...

Man i am curious to about busy.pay... Can u give me a link to its intoduction or any post ?? Or make 1 yourself? I think as a plankton it will help me a lot.

You are exactly right!
I get around 30 to 50 cents every 24 hours depends on the Steem price, used to be every 12 hours...
no follow to follow schemes because the amount of SP of your followers should amount to over a million if am not mistaken and over 10 million for a 14$ upvote or something like that... which is what I am trying to get at ;)
this can only encourage authentic work and is a motivation for new starters...
busy.pay is only one account imagine if steemit has a steemit.pay account or a bunch of whales delegate SP to serve the entire growing users of steemit? I think it is a sound system that could make steemit a powerful platform
Busy has been doing it for an year now I believe...it works! @thedarkhorse

@kingyus when you reply please tag me so I read this. I'm curious about it too.

Do you have to actually post through busy or can you just post via steemit and use the busy tag?

you can try it and if it doesn't upvotes you in a couple of hour then go to busy
Personally I tag it on busy.org just to make sure but since it is the same blockchain it should go through on both platforms ;)

OK thanks - will experiment and see how it goes. They take a cut of yer payout if you post through the platform don't they?

they did it to promote their platform... I don't believe they take a cut but I believe busy.pay has been growing so they must have some kind of a curation reward for sure especially if your post gets upvoted by others too
