Have fun upvoting after HF19?
Enjoy watching rewards growing up?
I was too. Even not doing always at 100%, by the end of the day have noted the vote power is exausted just below 45%
Well, not a big deal, I thought....it recovers by +20% per day.
So in ~2.5 days it will be back to 100%. Right?
Not really so !
Little calculation showed me, that to growth from 45% back to 100% takes 96 hours! That is FOUR full days!
So be very careful, when you go crazy while upvoting. Or you may end into situation, when a VERY very good post, which you sure would be happy to support at your maximum potention, at full 100%, may take to wait much much longer , then you want. Yes you can wait, up to 7 days, but the downside of this is, that your final curation rewards will be not as high, as it could possibly be.
Rule of thumb is simple - every 10 upvotes at FULL power takes 24 hours, or ONE full day to recover. (at the maximum possible level at any given moment)
20 upvotes will need two days.
40 upvotes - four days
70 upvotes - a one complete week, full seven days!
Just keep this in mind.
And scale down, whenever you think it will be suitable. Just like this:
Scaling is available only once user accumulates 500+ of steem power. If you have 500 SP, once you click the "^" upvote icon, a small scaling slider window pops up ( like in the picture above). Then you select the wanted level of upvoting ( marked as step "2" in my picture, in red, with arrow). And only then you must click the final upvoting buton ( marked as step "3")
P.S. You think it may be useful for others? For the newbies? Then - resteem ! :)
