Wow, this is a lot to digest, but makes pretty good sense at first glance. I’m definitely going to want to read this again later for comprehension, but certain points just made sense immediately, like the minimum for payout.
I’m switching my vote for now to >90%. So far I’ve never depleted my voting power, so I’ll take it for a spin this way and see what happens.
I thought I noticed that the 10% in savings only applied to the HBD, yeah I’ll move that over to HP as soon as I can get it released. I’m hoping Doge climbs up again so I can liquidate and bring it over here. I never really knew what Doge was, but Hive seems to make a lot of sense…it’s an investment I can sincerely get behind.
I’ve been using 3Speak and Ecency so far. Outside of these two things and my keychain, I’m in way over my head! …I’m just hoping I can piece it all together as I go, cuz if I wait to understand all this before I join up, I’d probably never get in :)
Ah sorry I meant to be a little clearer but it helps to know that you use Ecency. I think if you click on the settings bar it brings over a pop-up box on the left side of your phone and you can see your voting percentage.
By voting I meant this "mana" section here. You don't want this to dip below 92% when you are out there voting on content. Your votes get spent and it takes time to recharge it all. The more you vote, the lower it goes and your overall vote gets decreased as well over time until it recharges.
Another thing, just checking out your profile in more depth, I would limit yourself to 1 or 2 posts a day maximum. More than that can be considered spam and you can get down voted and flagged for it so scale it back a bit. I think it's awesome you're posting! Just stretch it out. You can even schedule posts for a future date which is really cool.
It's great that you're using Ecency, you get activity points and you can use those points to boost, or upvote, your posts and help get yourself some more Hive Power!
Doge is okay, I don't know if I would liquidate all of it but it's definitely great to have a good stake here on Hive!
Thanks for this, that makes a LOT more sense! I’ve definitely been over-posting by that criteria…yeah, I’ll step it back a touch. This was probably a bit special since I mainly wanted to get my new communities off the ground, but good to know now before I form a habit of inadvertent over-posting!
As for Doge, I was just coming to the same conclusion, if nothing else just because I planned on leaving it in my ledger wallet for 10 years before messing with it…hate to have an empty ledger after all that time, so no more than half but I’m really excited to add to my HP here.
