Also when you give a flag, your voting power goes down. So you can give one upvote less to others. Also if you flag a big player with a lot of steem power, these user could take revenge and downvote you down to level 0.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
level 0?
New users start with reputation level of 25. But you can go down to 0 (or maybe 1) if you got many downvotes (or one really big downvote).
alright... what if I transfer some steem from exchange to this account? will it increase my power?
yes, you can buy steem and convert (Power Up) it to steem power.
I made a withdrawal 3 days ago.. its still pending.. poloniex is experiencing some problem in steem withdrawals..
once converted..is it all "wasted" or could be cashed out later?
You can do a Power Down to converts them back to STEEM in weekly batches. But this takes many weeks/months.
It's never wasted, since for Steem Power your upvote worth is growing. So, if you convert to Steem Power, it's permanent (unless Power Down - Which takes about 3-5 steem per week). So, my best suggestion is just simply to put back from Poloniex to Steem. Convert for SBD, research a bit on boosters, and for same money earn from your own posts new SBD and new Steem Power. You can't go wrong with it.
Example:
Minnowbooster for 1SBD does around 1.95$ on your post (promoted). In payouts, you get around 0.75 SBD and 0.9 SP (SteemPower).
So practically you almost return your investment in CASH, plus you gain more Steem Power.

Does it mean as an amateur I have a long way to go??... But the info was quiet educative
