| Maximum Virtual Bandwidth (MVP): | 1.849688064e+18 |
| Total Vesting Shares (TVS): | 378251662406.06244 |
MVP and TVS are 2 system required variables we willuse to get our account's bandwith
What means bandwidth in Steem? :
Let’s view a blockchain like an Internet Service Provider (ISP) co-op which owns all of the cables in the town and has a maximum amount of bandwidth that it can provide at any time. People living in the town can buy shares in the ISP and in exchange they are entitled to utilize a portion of the available bandwidth.
Why is it getting important?
In the last days many steemians got locked because of lack of bandwith
The limit rate has been very volatil and developers are already working on fixing this
Every time we post we spend bandwith, we need to keep it above a dynamic level to be able to post , if we spend too much we wont be able to post for a while
You wont be able to post , vote or even Power UP your account , until you get more Steem Power or your bandw rate decreases
The formula uses also 2 more Account parameters :
- Account Vesting Shares (AVS)
- Account Average Bandwith (AAB)
which formula is this:
AAB/MVP < AVS/TVS
which is also :
AVS/TVS- AAB/MVP >0
You can calculate account's bandwith state , by replying this post and writing :account_name
Also check this post to sort out the issue : post
This calculator is still in beta , it will work only in the last post from me , so if this one gets older will not work!
Update: Steemd has just added a Bandwidth Remaining indicator at its main page
