Hey steemians,
I hope somebody can help me understand whats happening. Last three days right before the rewards are payed out they drop to zero. It was'nt much te begin with and I understand 0.01 to 0.03 is very close to zero so it's not a big fall. But I have to admit it is a bit discouraging.
I know Bitcoin dropped again (I lost 19% today). Is this drop related to the drop in the rewards? If so will be the rewards able to climb and be payed out at a later moment?
I also understand the number you see through the days is estimated and can change. Is this because steem has a fixed pay out per day fo all the rewards and mine are just so low I didnt earn a part?
I know I should be happy with what I get and I am. But seeing it drop three days in a row feels a bit discouraging and I think this is mostly because I dont understand why this is happening.
So, if you know the answer or experience the same please leave a comment!
It has something to do with several things. As far as I know, as I'm also new. But at least with the following aspects:
so far my knowledge, wish I could help you more...
Thank you, you helped me understand it a bit more. Sometimes a lot of small clues make one great explanation!
I saw this happen on posts that I've made that didn't generate a lot of money. I figured that the post must make a certain amount for it to translate to a reward. Looking at the conversion system that it takes once the payout process occurs, I don't think a small amount (1-3 cents) would convert to much. This is why I thought I wasn't getting anything in return for post that only earned a few cents or less.
Thank you, I think something like that is happening. It makes me a bit sad because that means my 0.01 upvote on the comments will probably give the commenters nothing. It is however, a good incentive to try to grow.
I looked back at my blogs and see the lowest that's made it into a reward is 0.03 cents. So maybe that's the lowest possible.
I looked back too and saw that the lowest I've been given is 0.03, so that must be right. I wondered the same since my upvotes are only 0.01 also. I was hoping that it all gets put together (the comments with the total upvotes on the post). I wonder that too. That's why a part of me wonders if it is really worth keeping up with my voting power since my votes aren't worth much. It can be a little frustrating.
I have an idea! We are going to a little experiment. I give you an upvote for this comment at my full power (it is 100% now). If you remember, in seven days you come back and tell me if you got the 0.01 cent. Then we both know.
Okay, I upvoted your comment too. We can see what happens!
Indeed!
