I've started a fresh account from zero where I post daily going over things like this. Tomorrow's post is exactly about what you're asking about. But let's see if I can summarize here while keeping it simple.
- To get SPT, you just have to post. You can buy it, but you'll earn it from posting too.
- Payouts are after 7 days. You can see your current holdings in your splintertalk wallet. You currently have 6.462922 SPT in your wallet (this is public)
- You can click the arrow button beside your SPT in your wallet to transfer, stake, or sell SPT. If it's in your wallet, it counts towards your SPS airdrop. 4 SPT = 1 SPS airdrop point. You don't need to do anything else.
- if you stake your SPT, you turn it into SPT power, giving you a more powerful vote when upvoting other people. This is a good thing to do, generally. Your staked SPT still counts towards SPS airdrops.
That's the quick and dirty. Post more, get more. Held and Staked both count towards SPS.
wow thank you!! that makes a lot of sense and really helps me out. So to stake the spt I do it on the hive wallet?
looks like you got it figured out. Nice. The simplest place to do it is right at https://www.splintertalk.io/@shaddrak/transfers But there are other places to do it as well. Hive-Engine and Leodex are worth getting acquainted with eventually for managing tokens.
So I know there is another one called Leofinance is that what the leodex is? CAn you also include how to upvote with staked spt if you can. The other guy said he might not be back until 2 days.
