Are the minnows getting this inflation, too?
I've been here several weeks and received no interest, and side from one notice that I got SBD 00.00 interest have heard nothing about it.
If this is the case it's no wonder they drop out quickly.
We are getting shafted from both ends.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
You're not getting shafted. You are on a site that gives you rewards for the value you can create. It takes time to get attention, but there are many projects like @curie working on that. The only investment a minnow needs to make is time creating and engaging, which is completely optional, of course.
You can invest to get to a tier that will provide curation rewards right now, but it's very important to remember that if Steem is significantly undervalued, then minnow accounts today will be able to generate better rewards in the future, since the daily Steem rewards would be worth more in USD, making your vote worth more in SBD.
I'd also emphasize that this is an experiment with no real promises that has only been partially unveiled since it is still an early-evolving organism essentially. I'd wait a year or two before writing it off, while also using this as a fun platform to create and engage with people if you don't want to invest in order to generate significant curation rewards.
Ok, so I don't get curation awards until I cross a threshold?
I don't get the miniscule amounts attributed to my vote?
That is difficult to swallow.
If I was at least getting my fractions of a cent then I would mathematically grow, albeit never enough to break the glass ceiling.
Can you tell me what this threshold is?
Really it's only because Steem is worth less than $100 million. If it was $100 billion (or ~20% of Facbook), your vote would be worth the same as a 6k SP account today, which would be ~.02 SBD.
As far as the current threshold to actually push .001 SBD, I'm not sure. I push close to .05 SBD, so I would guess you would need 1/50th of my acct, or ~270 SP (.79 MV) to push .001 SBD with the current price of Steem.
As a non-investor, influence currently needs to be earned through creation/engagement. However much creation/engagement one seeks to produce is completely up to them. Just like how much one chooses to invest.
Also note that as posts get bigger, your vote pushes more and more. I have an attempted miner account, @boomer, which can push pennies when a post is over $10.
I actually posted under it because I'm messing around with Streemian XD
Confirming this is me btw :)
I noticed that, too.
Sometimes my vote added a lot, sometimes a little, and sometimes it took away.
Ok, so when I get around $100sbd I will start seeing my input, but until then do I get the fractions, or not?
You need to get to about 270 Steem Power. SBD doesn't add influence. 270 SP costs about .21 btc, or $130 USD, currently to get to the .001SBD minimum threshold, if my rough calculations are correct.
Until then, yes you can still get curation rewards. Go to your wallet, then click rewards, then curation rewards, and you can see that you already got a couple. You can get more by voting between 20-40 times a day on posts that will become popular, within the 15-30 minute window. You won't get much most of the time, but you will likely notice a little trickle after a while if you keep that activity up.
I've voted most of dollar vigilante and barry cooper's posts early, but I've only gotten one curation award, I don't understand what was different about it.
I've voted a lot everyday, my voting percent is near 80.
you need a lot of steem power to gain interest the more you have the more you make.... for example whales are making minimum 200 steem power per day...
So, it is mathematically impossible for me to be a player that isn't sanctioned by the top?
