Unbelievable effects of single votes!
Unbelievable effects of single votes!
This is an article but actually at the same time kind of a test balloon concerning the effects of votes after "Hard Fork 19".
I just tested the effects of 100 % votes by upvoting a comment of my friend who is still new here on Steemit. My recent Steem power is somewhat higher than 50000 and my remaining voting power only about 50 %. My vote brought him more than (estimated) 27 dollar(!) - but see yourself:
I knew that the weights of 100 % votes should increase after the upgrade (I thought by a factor of 4 - whereby voting power would decrease faster per upvote) but was not expecting it to have such a huge effect. On the one hand it feels quite fantastic to have such a strong impact now, but on the other hand it means one has to be much more careful with what to vote and with how much of ones voting power ...
Conclusion?
I still can't draw any conclusion - it is too early. But one thing is obvious: these changes are everything else than insignificant ... exciting times are awaiting us ...
I really would like to read your opinions about the changes. Do you appreciate them? Which problems may arise (I have some in mind but like to hear your point of views first)?
