RE: Dear newbies

Since you offered, I'm going to ask away hohoho pls don't regret (I might have too many questions though... maybe it can become your new blog ahahaha ). I tried researching for all the questions I had but I still can't seem to understand how the small details work. So here we go:

• I'm still quite unsure what does delegating your hive to other people do? Isit part of curation?
• Does curating mean voting for people's blog?
• How does the system decide how much vote value one can give? Or are we supposed to decide for ourselves because I saw my voting power decrease after I voted but there was no option for me to decide whether I want to vote 100% or 10%. (I saw in some of my posts there was a notification that said someone like your post eg 2% how was that decided?)
• does the sequence of #tag affect where the blog would go?
• Does voting in different platform affect what would be given to the content creator? eg if someone vote in splintertalk and in hive what would be given to me? because I notice in splintertalk when I have spt, I might not have hive value when people vote them. Here is one example:
  
  

I know that spt and hive power are different but still quite confused by the different platform payments. I did my research and still can't wrap my head around them but I know that I will slowly understand. However, with the help of you, I think I will understand faster? Thank you for the help hehe ;)

  • Delegating Hive Power to others enables them to post and comment more. Plus, they can use these HP to upvote other Hiveans' content.

• Does curating mean voting for people's blog?

  • Yes, curating means upvoting other people's content, so that they earn rewards.

• How does the system decide how much vote value one can give? Or are we supposed to decide for ourselves because I saw my voting power decrease after I voted but there was no option for me to decide whether I want to vote 100% or 10%. (I saw in some of my posts there was a notification that said someone like your post eg 2% how was that decided?)

  • How much rewards result from your upvote depends on your amount of HP, and you can (at least if you vote via peakd.com) decide with how much percentage you vote, as you can see here:
    

• does the sequence of #tag affect where the blog would go?

  • the sequence of #tag does play a role, but I don't know how exactly.

• Does voting in different platform affect what would be given to the content creator? eg if someone vote in splintertalk and in hive what would be given to me? because I notice in splintertalk when I have spt, I might not have hive value when people vote them.

  • I haven't used splintertalk, but I think that the low value results from the low Hive Power your upvoters have.

I hope I could help.
