Setting your payout to burn sends the payout to @null and reduces hive in circulation.
Flagged is the original name for downvoting before the feelers crowd got it changed.
The 'hivestasi' are those folks that care about where the reward pool goes, they will visit you if you run into what they deem foul territory.
They are mostly reasonable.
Just support your assertions and they will back off if you are right.
The only large issue with hive right now is that too many folks are willing to sell for less than 5usd, imo.
Thanks. I guess I'm a bit dim... I don't grasp "reward pools," or what I could do to be in "foul territory..." Haha! And I have no clue how to set these "payouts" to anything... I'm not here for money. I'm here to show a vastly better way of doing things such that We ALL can live richly without having to account for Our energy added at all (without money).
Yeah, me too.
As someone with those goals in the hive, you needn't worry about the politics of the hive.
They shouldn't impact on you.
Ah, good! LOL! I have little grasp of all the various forms of tokens listed in the "wallet." I'm used to "money or no money..." Not Money - but this is for this, and that is for that, and that other there... You can do that other thing. Confusing and cumbersome.
It's easy enough, once you have done it some.
Power up hive=bigger vote value.
After the hardfork you will need to put your hbd in the savings account, if you want interest on them.
I guess... I don't want any money, so... And I'm not sure what it means to have a "bigger vote value." And hardfork? Ah geez. [sigh] Can't there be a good, censorship-free, and STABLE platform? Steemit HFed, and now Hive??? My head hurts.
Lol, it's all in the vernacular.
Words have meanings here they don't have other places.
Excepting the fork from steem, forks here are non-contentious, and so, good things, mostly.
They do have surprises as we are tweaking a large conglomeration of aggregating cooperators.
It's hard to know the future until after you have chosen the path.
I peeked into your wallet and would suggest powering up the liquid hive you have.
On peakd.com you do that in your wallet's drop down menu for hive power.
By powering up your liquid hive you slow its dilution from the inflation.
You earn a small bit of hive power each block for having your hive powered up.
Doing this increases the value you direct with your voting on the content of others.
They will be happier to see you with a larger vote.
Shallow, but how it is, mostly, in the hive.
You also get half the value of your vote so it becomes a positive feedback loop.
Powering up also signals to the people voting on you that you are committed to being here.
If you would rather not be bothered by the hassle of rewards, I would suggest setting your payouts to 100% power up rather than 50/50.
That way you grow more popular automagicly.
I have no idea what "powering up the liquid hive" means... What's "liquid?" I see nothing that says "liquid..." I also have no idea how to change the "payouts" from 50/50 to 100% "power up." I really am clueless about all this complexity! LOL!
