Its been awfully slow my way here on Steemit, figuring the pace is due to the voting power 5% drops in upvote usage but had me ponder how HF19 has done for everyone. Is this what you expected now that its been a week into it. Is this doing well by you or do you have any concerns about it. Are you one of these 3 guys at the moment when you think about HF19?

Are you Jonah Hill excited to be taking HF19 to the Greek?
Or are you old Jack just sitting back without a care in the world about HF19?
Maybe your Smokey finally losing your cool about losing your weed funds due to HF19?
Personally all I am seeing is a drop in activity my way, less comments and upvotes but I suspect a lot of voting power recharging going on due to the slight changes or I have bored the every living hell out of everyone lol. Just curious how everyone is feeling this change and the benefits or non benefits they are taking from a week with HF19 in their lives.
Comment below, very curious how the community is taking to the change seeing its been sunk in a bit

i dont think HF19 is too bad personally,great post i like the gifs lol
Its not bad, just a lot less activity I am seeing between a few buddies posts and mine, but I suspect there is a lot of voting power recharging going on. Overall I do think its great once we have that VP up. Been wanting to wait it out a week to see what everyone else things after they used it enough
My vote worth more but can't get back to 100%.
That is my biggest and only issue at the moment, I been down below 40% all week lol. Just got up above 40% but this rate is slow so I can't hook people up and in turn think its slowing down my earning potentials lol. So I am gonna sit back and try to get it back to 100% and be way more careful in the future.
i would up vote your post but i am too low on percentage
its okay, I don't expect people to always upvote me and never take offense to it. You got to get it up in % like I do...not a worry my friend
what's up buddy, i love it but the money from my posts is just changing - going down
Mine too...man I lost $70 on a post today lol. No downvotes just due to that average being so low and sucked it down bad. Concerning but I am thinking after time this may benefit if the prices go back up. Its so hard to tell because BTC is screwing everything in the markets at the moment lol...one BTC hiccup and they all fall lol
lol, yeah buddy, let's just stay in the game, we're here until steem is worth a 100 dollars and beyond
Hanging in there, gonna see how it rolls as I continue on. Hey it doesn't make me a lot I just post a little less and find some side projects to tackle lol. I am here for the movement anyways so I have to use this to post about that junk and inform the sheeples lol. Maybe on the side make my own dang coin lol
yeah hh dangcoin, just make a whitepaper and i'll buy for 1 satochi
lol...dangcoin lol...and I will pair it with steem so I can get more Steem Power lol
i'll be mining that dangcoin, you should come up with a logo
I'm just happy to see the numbers change when I vote. Until steemit I had never even wrote a Christmas card, but I'm slowly learning and My first month had good results. Thanks to the fork things look even better.
At first for me it was great but my earnings been going down lower recently than they were before. I think the voting power thing has people limited on who and when they vote. Other than that yes its great to see high earnings but recovery on VP seems a bit slow, I haven't been able to upvote for days due to it lol. I am 50/50 on the fence about it. Open minded enough to keep going but if I only make $20 a week from now on, I am sadly outta here onto the next thing lol. Gotta keep up for the family but I think its just a momentary thing my way. Hopefully
My only option ATM is to go back to Canada to work, which I can not do till my residency is complete. My work permit is ready maybe next month for Panama. So I'm All in. But holding onto my cash on hand, and building steem power as fast as I can. But too poor to invest directly, incase my reserves are needed for day to day life here.
So the price of steem is irrelavant to me, as I have no intension of cashing out.
I'm lucky to be able to live on next to nothing forever if need be. So Life is Good.
Thanks for your reply
While I can still afford it :-)
I guess this right now is just growing pain and we should correct. Just discouraging I guess to me, had such great momentum then bam it just stalls lol. I hate to powerdown myself because I am in the same boat, no real finances to regain it back so I guess I will just grin and bare the moment. All we can do is keep on keeping on lol
Chin up Brother ! I've owned Millions of alt coins, that eventually I sold off, some after 2 years or more. now it breaks my heart so see them take wings.
I know about Bitcoin when I could mine on my laptop, but disregarded it (F*^K)
but no more selling only buying what I can when I can. With no more Bitcon casino's LOL
Cheers
Don't feel bad, when bitcoin first was about I bought 13 of them for a dvd, trust me I kick myself now about that one but I just thought it was a payment system the store used lol....now damn it man lol. It will all be fine, Crypto is in a crazy place lately is all
I don't feel bad, I feel Great ! How many people have never heard of it? I've been playing for years now. I've never gone hungry in my life, and don't expect to in my retirement years now ( unless I'm a idiot ), only time will tell :-)
Steem on my freind
I don't know if my predicament has something to do with the HF or not. I mean, I am new here 13 days ago. I've seen all of my posts drop half their potential earnings without losing any votes or anything. I don't really understand that.
Don't get me wrong, the $1 I am making is $1 more than I had before, and I have no problems with small payouts at all, but what is bugging me is the fact that they get up to $14 and then drop down to $7 when payout rolls around. I feel like there's something wrong somewhere and it can't just be that the value of steem is going down, cause it's not???
I agree with you completely, that is my question and the voting power recovery seems slower with a higher percentage being taken away per vote. Other than that its great when its up it upvotes higher for people but if I can't upvote as much its kind of restricting. That price dip on the blogs, concerns me too.
I'm Jack.
i think that is where I am at too lol. In between, see some pluses and some concerns as well
I like it alot! It is just frustrating when you post something and get 50 comments now, with 2 upvotes!
I mean those two upvotes are worth 20-30 cents now compared to half a penny
Everyone seems to be holding back the upvotes due to the 5% hit on voting power, I been noticing the very same thing. All we can do is keep kicking out great content and pray it catches fire at some point. I had a lot of great upvotes hit but hitting a very slow period the last 3 days or so. Probably how it will be for a bit till everyone figures their game with voting power. I get the same thing, loads of comments but not much income coming back in.
lol baby do I look like I am fishing for those dollars that bad, pappa needs a new GPU though lol
Currently I am trying to get my voting power back up. I didnt notice too much of a difference because I have only been on steemit for just over two weeks. So I didnt have much to begin with nor do I have much to compare it to now. However, I am noticing a lengthy time to rebuild my power. Pre hf19 I believe it was due to me being voting-happy and not knowing I was limited or that I would run out. Now that i have learned this I am more picky about where I choose to upvote.
That is the biggest issue and main issue. They hit you now with a 5% take away on your voting power per upvote so it dwindles faster but that recovery seems slower as well. I been barely able to keep it above 40% so I had to chill the last few days. It poses a few things maybe, there maybe buddy systems being formed lol...so unsure if that will be good or bad for business here in the long term but noticing everyone pairing up in groups to vote only on their posts lately. Me I will just hunt good content and bless where I can. I got a ton of SP on the way through my constant mining so in the end I am sure it will all even out. Welcome to the community by the way, trust me you got here at the very right time
Thank you! I am very interested in learning how to mine. Ive heard/seen more and more about it and I dont even know where to begin how to do it. I hope you are successful with it and would love some tips if you could lend any!
First you gotta kind of figure your budget in what you can afford to buy right now. If you have enough to get an ASIC that is first step to try to get, if you want to mine off a GPU that is a decent other route that maybe more affordable
Payout of my old posts increased at the day of HF19, but then everything seem not much changed.
Same here, it was great on payouts first couple of days but since it appears to keep dropping the more and more people realize they have less voting power to spread around. Unsure if this will be good or bad in the long run, kind of in between on it right now
I also need to adjust my voting power everytime and I trends to vote fewer and more carefully.
That voting power setup has lost its fun for me lol....seriously been trying to recover mine for a week and last 4 days haven't even voted...still at 50% Not so sure about this at this stage .... starting to feel like it was great at first but a major hold back due to the increase in percentage take away vs its actual recovery
I personally think it's bad thing, first of all you can't do anything with just 10 upvotes, there is some good content out there but you feel that your hands are tied behind your back. Less votes means less traffic that goes anybody's way. But again that's just me.
I am leaning towards that with you as well. I have literally been stuck not to vote too much all week just to recover my voting power, due to that less votes come my way and the fun is starting to become less and less here lol. I am literally slowing down on bothering to write as much, figure whats the point in my usual long well researched out articles if memes make about the same as they do. HF19 is kind of starting to make me reconsider usages here, that is not good
I'm not happy at all. It was much more fun upvoting all the posts that deserved the votes - and now we are all holding back and saving our upvotes for the "special" posts and then neglecting a whole lot of posts that deserve an upvote. I upvoted you now and all you got was 4 cents. Have you seen @leelektrik post on @shaewebbmusic. It's the No2 to the series on musicians - (you were No1) It's hardly received any votes and likewise @shaewebbmusic and @danshaw - we need to be supporting and uplifting new musicians
Seriously this HF19 maybe turning out negative. I am also starting to feel more towards not liking it too. I woke up to see I only regained 2% voting power since yesterday. I just finally got to 50% after a week of waiting it out. Which is causing me to not upvote those that deserve it and my own earnings took a nose dive. And this is making me think, why should I bother spending hours a day researching and putting together in depth articles if it makes the same as the memes out there? That recovery timing is a huge issue. I think they took that 5% on each voting and slowed down the recovery. They take more and make you wait a week is gonna hurt the community I think, seeing a lot of negativity forming, heck you can see it in the trading prices as well. I will upvote everyone when I am up recovered, right now my votes aren't worth much to anyone so I guess I am about to take a break, let it rise up and return maybe to try this again. Tell you what, if its $20 a week, I can just blog on fiat blog sites for that lol...powering down right now would pay more and I am seriously fighting that urge to do so but I do have bills coming
