I'm a little discouraged about this platform as I mentioned a few days ago, when it was getting hit with DDoS attacks just after I had bought in again. I've checked it daily ever since and it's still having issues; today seems better than yesterday.
So, I have just delegated all but 600 or so SP to MinnowBooster (wanted to keep 500+ so I'd still have the "upvote slider"). This means I'll earn around 18 SBD per day (and, it just sent the payout a half hour ago, which was a little over 19 SBD). I suppose this also makes me "angry whale"-proof, as whatever he chooses to do to me won't affect the MinnowBooster investment, regardless of what he can manage to do to my reputation, or to payouts on posts and comments I'm no longer making (again, hopefully, temporarily).
My voting power is currently at 100%, and http://steemnow.com tells me that my 100% upvote is worth seven cents.
Thus, I won't be upvoting people with a dollar (or two or three!) any longer. Seven cents is the maximum.
I'll likely buy back in later.
When I had stock options in the 90s and became temporarily amazingly wealthy, I had a large number of "fair-weather friends" -- which I didn't know at the time, until the money dried up.
I'm wondering if I'm about to weather a similar period.
Anyway. Next one will have harvest pictures.
