How on Earth did you use up your Bandwidth. Please write a post about that. Please let us know how the hell it happened.
I'm one of the The answer many give is "there is so much good content, I just can't stop voting" people on steemit. I hope I'd be able to unlock the voting slider. I think it unlocks at 500SP. Correct me if I'm wrong.
It'll take some time for me to reach there. I'm trying to do less upvotes a day for the time being.
Yes it does unlock at 500 SP...as I mentioned, the busy.org interface gives people the slider bar immediately. You might want to take a look at that.
When new, like in your first week or two, the bandwidth is very very low. I guess all the transactions I conducted between voting and commenting, which I did a ton of, used it all up. As we become more active, our bandwidth increases significantly....obviously it is not in the blockchains best interest to have people have to stop interacting because they used up bandwidth...especially active people.
Thanks for the tip on busy.org
The active people are bound to get some upvotes and they can power up with few bucks if they already have some cryptos. In a way showing that they have limited bandwidth based on their stake is a good way to practically educate them why STEEM tokens are important, valuable and why STEEM isn't any sort of a ponzi.
Tell them and they'll forget.
Show them and they'll remember.
Involve them and they'll understand.
Feel sorry about your excellent article getting downvoted by a Payed upvote bot. We are at where BTC was 4 years ago.
