News and Updates
MAW 2.0
Ladies and gents, welcome to the new and improved MAW. MAW has been around for more than a year now and it has worked pretty well for most of the members. The only flaw that MAW had was that it could not allow many new members to join. So with this update we will be tweaking settings and rules in order to let new members join.
All the old members do not have to delegate according to the new rules (the joining delegation). The voting weights will be slightly lower in order to allow more VP for new members.
New members can join by delegating a minimum of 150 SP and taking part in the daily upvote on
Old rules for joining still apply: the minimum amount of SP required (500) and a Steemit Reputation of at least 50. In the case where you do not have the minimum amount of SP to upvote or delegate then we can look at paying a direct steem fee. (This is not advised since it is only profitable if you post daily)
Upvote Brackets
The way the upgrades work will now also change to accommodate the new members. The upvote weights and values will decrease, but so will the fees. For example, each upvote bracket will equal 150SP. Then to double up on your upvote weight you can delegate 300 SP, triple will be 450SP and so on. I also decided that those who want to delegate to get larger upvotes will also get a slight bonus percentage.
Example:
| Delegated SP | Upvote Weight | Bonus multiplier | Final upvote % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 150 SP | Basic upvote | 10% | |
| 300SP | 2 X Basic upvote | 1.1 | 22% |
| 450SP | 3 X Basic upvote | 1.15 | 34.5% |
| 600SP | 4 X Basic upvote | 1.2 | 48 % |
| 750SP | 5 X Basic upvote | 1.25 | 62.5% |
| 900SP | 6 X Basic upvote | 1.3 | 78% |
| 1050SP | 7 X Basic upvote | 1.35 | 94.5% |
Please note these are not the final upvote weights, only an example. Weights will also be adjusted after each delegation.
Weights can change weekly depending on member activity and post count. Paying Steem for the higher upvote will still be done monthly, the fee will be worked out according to lease rates and will be updated one week before the end of each month.
No wasted VP
Now that we are updating the upvote weights weekly, we will keep track of how many members post and how many outgoing upvotes. With the data I will make room for a little more Voting Power regeneration and slightly lower upvote weights. With the extra VP we will start selling some upvotes via Smartsteem. 90% of the SBD/STEEM generated from the vote selling will then be used to lease more SP for MAW, the other 10% will be powered up. So even though the upvote weights are a little lower, the upvote value will increase over time.
This is indeed all experimental and might change if something does not work. I will always have our members in mind and want the project to be worth it for everyone. =)
Let me know what you think! =)
I will change all the weights and post-layout tomorrow after I get some feedback.
Paused Upvotes:Some members have been paused because their upvotes fell below the minimum required upvote weight. This is only temporary and happens all the time due to SP changes or delegations expiring. Not to worry, correct you upvote weight and send me a message on Discord, comment here or even a wallet message to let me know the weight has been adjusted. Will unpause the upvotes ASAP. Please have a look at the formula below to make sure you are above the minimum.

Minimum upvote requiredAll members are required to upvote
If you have more SP and you would like to change the upvote weight, please use this formula to calculate the % of your vote:
50000/ (Your SP) = Voting Weight towards posts.

Example:
Member A. has 1200 SP on his account,
50000 / 1200 = 42% - this is the minimum upvote required.
