Thank you for the show of support from these comments. I cannot continue to manually payout around 400 voters .007 of Steem. Last time I checked, that was a fraction of a cent value. I think your votes are worth more than that. If voters are returning to vote and support the project, your rewards should be increasing. Not decreasing. Of course there are many other factors but the time spent voting on this post can be spent voting on a post where you can get a curation reward worth more than a fraction of a cent or .007 SP. That was the sad truth. I did have someone working on a payout script but their time was taken by other things and it was just bad timing on that. Maybe I'll reconsider in the future as of now I am unable to maintain VIP and would need to see something more substantial to restart this project.
Thank You.
I always gave you 100% brotha
It's not only the voting percentage, but if VIP is powering all these voters accounts, things should increase. I noticed after powering people up, there are some that was giving let's say 100% from the start, lowered it to 50%, then I seen people drop all the way down to 1%. Which would explain the the drop in reward. Also the fact that there wasn't any whale support and there were a couple that I would considered a whale don't see to support it with 100%. The percentage doesn't really matter because people can use their voting percentage as they please. It was the lack of community support. Community meaning new users, old users, whales, minnows, coders, etc etc. Each are needed to do their part.
It's sad that you were doing that manually. Hope the situation get improved sooner.
I would have no problem doing it manually if I am sending 1 steem to voters. I cannot continue to ask for the voters to take time of out their day and using their vote to receive less and less. Voters deserve better than that.
