Whats Up STACKERS!Β
It's one of those nights when you boy @stackin must rest his "Voting Power" because I've been "Curating" AKA "Upvoting" like crazy for the last few weeks draining my "Special Powers" π€£
For all the new "Steemians" or "Minnows" out there,Β The more "Steem Power" you have, the more your upvotes will be depending on your Voting Power Percentage.Β π―
You see, we get a certain amounts of upvotes a day. In other words, everyone starts at 100% from the beginning and for each 100% upvote that you do, your power drains 2% and this power drain can be regeneratedΒ within 2 hours. π
The optimal Voting Power Percentage should always be above 80% to maximize your curation rewards. πΈ πΈ πΈ
The best place to check your "Voting Power" is at steemnow.com/@stackin.Β As you can tell from above, I should take my own advice as I've been around 60% for a couple of weeks but slowly creeping up higher today... What can I say, I sometimes can't help myself from voting for my peeps. π
I'm going to be taking 24 hours off from "upvoting" just to power up a tad bit so that I can maximize my "curation rewards" so that you guys can get higher upvotes from me. π€
So is your Voting Power Percentage Important? Yes it is! There are lots of new people here voting nonstop with very low voting power. This will give you less upvoting power and low curation rewards. ππΌββοΈ
So in other words, try to optimize your "curation rewards" by staying above the 80% mark and monitor it daily. Hope this little tip helps you guys out.
Have an great "Friday Night" Guys! Keep On STACKIN! π
For those who are interested in following my Awesome "Content" and "Daily Activities". Follow me @stackin so that you can get a notification.

Try to vote every 1.5 hours while you are awake and you should always wake up at 100% or very close to it
I always love to hear from you and learn new perspective towards the things. You are a great genius my friend.
I spent yesterday recharging my vote power. Gotta keep it 100%...
I can tell, I donβt get upvotes from ya ππ€£
My bad bro. I hit you with a full vote ππΌ
I hit you with 100% upvotes all the time:-) Did you see the post I did on Contests? I threw some props your way... https://steemit.com/contest/@jaquith/new-on-steemit-try-contests-if-you-have-never-won-a-contest-read-until-the-end#comments
If I upvote my power is down.
My power is auto full but I don't know how to increase and decrease.
Thabk you for sharing.
I thought that in a perfect world you want to NEVER let your voting power fill up to 100%, give out 100% votes to people sometimes, but never let the account fill up, keep it in the 80% to 90% range, but never fill up becasue it is basically wasting money... I learned this the hard way, mine sat at 100% for over a month
It's important that it's why I only use 10% of my power every 12 hours to keep it between 90-100 % and get the most out upvotes! however, if you only use steemit once a day you can get away with going down as low as 80%.
I use https://steemnow.com/@raybilson to check my power!
Thank you so much for this info, I've been trying to figure out how voting power and voting regeneration works for weeks but every post I read is 8 months old and the info is totally wrong because its outdated..... Thank you so much again lol
Damn It Charles @stackin before you take a Rest you better UP Vote this Comment. Everything I do for you and you are going to go SNOOZE on me and not UP Vote this Comment?? Shame On you we have been Friends for a Long Time and you are going to pull this Crap right Now ??
JK
Fine, here is a small vote! HAHA
Ha Ha, that's my Friend !
Hey man @stackin, this is so freaking awesome, where have i been all these while? men! you give out such good stuffs, i am new on the platform and have seen where i have been doing things wrong. Thanks for this post
i just got to follow you right away so i can have access to more of your value.
not going to ask you upvote but you might need to just encourage me in your own way.
You the best man!
Thanks for the tip, I'm an obsessive compulsive upvoter myself lol. How much steem power do you need before you can adjust your voting power?
The esteem phone app and busy.org give all users a vote adjuster regardless of steem power so you can adjust the weight of your vote if you login there. They are also Steem block explorers so they see the identical information as your account on the Steemit.com portal.
Very cool, thx... I always feel like such a newbie... I gotta figure this out...
There's a lot happening on the Steem blockchain... its hard to keep up!
Thanks for the tip, I totally forgot about busy.org ππΌ
I'll have to check into those. Thank you
I totally agree lol ... you just need 500 Steem to start adjusting. For all the new people, they should just vote around 9-11 times a day until they do.
Cool thanks for that. I was hoping it was more like 100 sp but that's good to know.
Don't you get 20 full power votes a day?
Gotta recharge your batteries!
Once a month kinda deal, It's Friday night in las Vegas and also decided not to go out and "recharge my batteries" lol
Every body is asking for upvotes before you go, fine I need one too, my girlfriend wants a new phone ππππππ
Most people wonβt even upvote my stuff and just comment lol
Thanks stackin, a very good post.
Please feel free to take a look at this portal.
In my opinion, the best tool on the market.

Thanks Bossman! I seen that a few times and used it, great site! π
I also learn some gpood ares from steemit
thanks for sharing your information keep it up wish you all the best
Just droppin' some knowledge like Tai Lopez lol
Thank you, learned some good areas of steemit and minnows. I hope, my curation rewards will worth it.
I think the best is 80-100%
Totally right, got to keep it up 80% min at all times :)
Well no Upvoted today, that's what that means :(
Thanks for the info though
wow.....thank u so much for good advice...your information is very useful....@stackin
ππΌ ππΌ ππΌ
Thank you for this information ,,, really helped me as a beginner :)
I take breaks from voting every night when I go to sleep. :) lol
Thanks for the information.
Great to share
Upvote
Good post @stackin
WoW this is nice to take rest as every one needs rest other wise we are
Robot's ha ha ha
@maujmasti
Thanks for posting
Thank you for this information, I've learned few things about upvoting people.
you right at your poin but leave you without voting except comments make you disappointed!
Yeah but next time you come here, my upvote on comments should be twice as much :)
Well said @stackin
You need the rest .... You always upvote for fun i must say!!!
I am not complaining ... i actually like your style.
You try to carry everyone along!!!
Happy 24 hours rest :)
My backs been hurting a lot carrying everyone jk LOL :)
Sorry man π
thats pretty cool to know..
thanks for sharing.
I thougth if I voted, that will be back in a day (but it came back in around 2 hrs). Seems like I've been at 100% for several hrs before voting.
Well, I voted this so fast, can't waste my voting power! π
Thanks for clarifying this issue. I spent a lot of the day yesterday messing with @inertia 's Dr Phil upvote bot which lets you upvote EVERYBODY .. which is really nutso but I guess if you are a whale and have lots of power to burn, you can make a mint on massive upvoting, so a bot would work for you. But clearly for a minnow I cant really vote more than 20-40 times per day so having a bot do it doesnt make a lot of sense unless I limit it to a list of say ten people and maximize my profit by timing the vote just right .. not that I understand the details of that ..
All that said, the Ruby implementation of @inertia 's bot is totally cool and it's fun to look at curation bots work ...
Thanks for sharing i will done upvote I always see your post. And follow you
🏧 phenomenal &
!
It's a nice thing to take a break from upvoting especially for minnows like me who have small voting power. This is to maximize our rewards on curations.
Thanks for sharing
Just a quick 1 day recharge lol :)
Thanks for the valuable information for me. Understand newcomers boss .. success always πππ
Yup voting power is definitely important. At 100% a minnows with 15SP can atleast get 0.01 upvote. If only voting power can recover much quicker. Actually scratch that, people will definitely abuse the system when that happened.
Yeah, I knew when I first started that I needed some Steem Power. After 2 weeks, I went to buy 500 Steem and it was a good decision. :)
Thanks for the information
This post has received gratitude of 4.52 % from @appreciator thanks to: @stackin.
Very informative post regarding upvoting and very useful for newbies.
Thanx @stackin
This post has received a 9.43 % upvote from @booster thanks to: @stackin.
Just curious, is the amount of your upvote the same regardless of reputation and is ONLY based on SP, or is it a combination of SP and REP?
Rep is just social media indicator that your bustin out good stuff and not getting flagged a lot π
Thanks for the education @stackin. Followed.
Resteemed! I wasnt aware of this til a couple of days ago by that time my voting power was 30%... still waiting for it to regenerate so no upvote πππ
Haha, yeah I had lots of stuff to learn when I first started. I was voting like crazy at first but learned real fast that I had to regenerate my power π
hi stackin i have landed on your article first time, i have learned most valuable thing about the steem voting power, i am very thankful for your post. i have followed you ,please post awesome article in future
this is great investing sir and thanks for sharing this, this is something new to me.
I know how you feel, my VP is alway around 70% because when i have more than that i usually just go crazy on upvoting content that i like xD
I will do the same thing you are doing, ill save my VP today, no upvoting today for me
I think Voting Power is so much important. There are many newbies. I am also a newbies. I always try to get attention and try to post good contents so that I can get upvotes and make some money. But the voting power is low of the voter who want to upvote then i won't get much revenue. So, Voting Power is most important. It's the reality. @stackin
how it feels like :D

Thank you stackin for this tip,
now i know how to mange my account and when i have to take a break to recharge my voting power.
seems for me, there is a lot to learn here.
I'll definitely need a break soon. I just went on a voting spree down to 20%.
The good news is overvoting doesn't really lower the total amount of rewards you can give or curation you get - it just diffuses it over many more data points.
Hey @yinaury - this is a good run down on how voting power works :) I tried explaining yesterday but this is pretty solid.
P.s - thanks for your upvotes @stackin!
Back when 100%
This is useful advice, which I try to follow, but not always is obtained... Zotya my voice weighs still very little(
I like how that site you mentioned shows how many hours until your full, I normally use SteemDB but I don't think it shows you that.
