Your advice about not using the 100% steem power option for posts and not using the internal convert for SBD really added value to me personally. Thank you!
@ausitbank I've written about not using "Convert to STEEM" feature, but I hadn't even thought about the "Don't Power UP" aspect. I guess it does make sense though. So when you get a payout, I suppose then it's also giving you that 50% SBD at a $1 value versus $1.60 or so (where it is now). If so, that would mean our current Power Ups are potentially costing us 50% x 0.6 SBD in potential extra SBD! Please correct me if I am somehow misunderstanding what you wrote.
Also, just curious when you say "1 missed blocks this week (10 ever)", how does that relate versus required server reboots or other required downtime? Or is that part of the "10 ever"? That would seem unlikely to me unless you're running 2 or 3 witnesses simultaneously with fall-over capability.
right, but the minnows can't adjust the votingpower :/
You can change it at 55 reputation right?
i'm not sure. i thought, you have to become a superuser with at least 800 sp...
If I'm right you need at least 1M Vests to use the voting slider.
I have it, at 500 steempower you can use the slider ;)

thank you very much, altinay. Proost!
THIS. Yeah, FAQ rhymes with WORK. j/k thanks for doing the work for us!
480 exactly, now it's a fact: https://steemit.com/steemit/@xervantes/the-one-about-hf19-and-the-slider-for-all-the-steemit-newbies
Really? I was adjusting mine in eSteem app.... or at least I thought I was.... Does it not do anything?
yeah, I think it's a UI issue though, not a block chain limitation, but I may be wrong on this. They should definitely consider offering the slider to steemians with >100SP, versus 500SP minimum now.
thx for your comment, Alex. yes, they should do this. btw. they should hide the upvote-button until you open the post and diskuss changing this new linear system to an degressive one...
I want to make my Steem Power Work! Is anyone 100% sure what is going to happen during the hard fork?
^^^UPVOTED^^^
You're an inspiration. Thanks for the update and the honest update in your witness
Glad FOSSbot Voter is getting used 😆 And thanks for the contribution 🤓
I told you b4 this is the first time i have ever used social media and that's still true.. I'm 3 week in now so I thought i would update you on my progress. I now understand how it works . Not just the posting but the actual way this concept of interaction works. YES i made some big mistakes as your aware of and im putting that down to a very steep learning curve, but I want to say thanks for still upvoting me even though you could have just forgotten me and never looked back. it is unfortunate though @sirknight did not try to explain to me how all this needs to be played out. the community idea I had was how i learn a lot of what not to do ..lol.. but I would still do it again as it revealed a great deal to me. I was like a Kalahari bush man who had just been dumped it New York city. lol but i used my survival skills and have learned to survive. So thanks again and may you receive all you wish for.
Cheers
Graham
Aah the update is during my birthday dinner! If I have time after, I'll check out how things are looking. If panic is ensuing or things have gone peacefully :-)
My dad asked me to write this, as I am on Skype with him. I sent him this link, and he dictated to me:
"I'm trying to stay positive and think of the increased minnow influence - but all I can think about is how is this going to affect some of my recent projects...."
Improvize, overcome & adapt.
Believe in yourself, because your intentions are good and everything you do shall be done in a way that helps people out.
Don't lose time stressing over what has been done, remain focused and keep marching forwards through life.
Jack.
Wise words. I'll try :)
I would also add that you should be patient on exchanges trading those SBD. I like to place my orders pretty high because SBD has such low volumes and it often experiences irrational pumps, which only last for minutes. 77k satoshis is a good order imo, unless you need that money instantly.
I upvoted this.... because .... I was losing mad Steemloot using the internal convert (not that much but still) and you / @ausbitbank are saving my booty :)
Yeah, the internal convert is a mistake nowadays. I am glad that this post and my comment could save someone some money.
Good work, half of the tech stuff went over my head but im glad your looking after it :).
Thanks for the info on posting 50/50 and also on using the market to convert and not the internal system. Ive made both of those mistakes in the last few days.
Thanks for the update.
Slightly worried about HF19 but fingers crossed it will work itself out
I just want to thank you for the awesome support you have given to the #minnowsupport project. You are very much appreciated
