Time to update the FAQ. Our service is fundamentally unchanged so that will be the same, but steem value and our SP has changed since the post FAQ post so it will be good to provide some updated numbers for comparison

What is this service
Stax (
Who can join? Do I need to use a specific tag? Can I post with other blockchain interfaces
Our service is open to anyone here on steemit, blogging about anything and using any app to blog on. I do make a quick review of your account to make sure your not some sort of spam bot, but otherwise your in and we would be glad to have you.
How do I join
To join you just need to send a delegation of SP to
Once you are a member we do require that you also cast a vote on our daily post made by
How much will my vote be worth.
Currently your return vote is calculated by the following algorithm (SP delegated/75=Vote=%), but it may fluctuate and change on a regular basis as we add and lose members.
Here it is in chart form. (the tiers are just examples and you can delegate any amount between 50-5000SP that you choose)
| Tier-Title | Delegation | Vote | Vote Value(current) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platinum | 5000SP | 66,7% | $2,38 |
| Gold | 2500SP | 33,3% | $1,17 |
| Silver | 1250SP | 16,7% | $0,59 |
| Nickel | 650SP | 8,7% | $0.30 |
| Copper | 400SP | 5,3% | $0.19 |
| Lead | 200SP | 2.3% | $0.10 |
| Minnow | 50SP | 0.6% | $0.02 |
What do you mean my vote will change/ Why was my vote % reduced
The % needs to be balanced carefully depending on the amount of members, as we take on more members the % of your vote will be reduced, and as members leave for stop posting it may increase. I usually try to do the changes every 1-4 weeks as required. The thing to keep in mind is as we take on more members they are all adding to the active SP held in this account so vote values in $ should also rise accordingly.
The $ value of the vote you receive is mostly based on STEEM price and our VP, so it may change significantly and daily. The bot's VP usually stays in a range between 85-95%, and votes cast while the VP is lower will have less $ value.
How to I get my Vote
All you need to do is post your blog, no other steps. You will get one vote per day, so Stax has a built in timer to help with this, once 22hrs have elapsed you are eligible for your next vote. So this works well for people who post at the same time daily, but maybe not for erratic posters. This timer goes from your received upvote to your next post. It takes a bit of getting used to, but you can always trigger a vote by "editing" your post and the bot will find it if it's been over 22hrs.
Once you send or change you delegation there is usually a small delay since it is a manual process to add and adjust voting, usually this is done within 24 hrs but occasionally may take up to 72 hrs.
How do delegations work
If you are unfamiliar with delegating SP, it is essentially loaning your SP to another account for them to vote with, you always remain in the control of the SP and can revoke it
