Bottom Line:
The dollar amount you see on posts is NOT in US dollars. It is way out of whack when the USD and the SBD are not at par.
I am going to return to this post in one week on Jan 7 and give you an update on my actual payout on this post in SBD and SP. Assuming no more big upvotes and barring wild swings in the value of SBD, it's going to be a lot more than the $85 US that seems to be pending right now.
And maybe I will be wrong. Stay tuned. Return in one week.
I was right. Final Payout was 75.529 SBD and 11.663 SP. Almost all of that was from the 35 SBD upgoat. Not bad.
