Lately I have been growing more and more frustrated ( not really, but it sounds good ) over the fact that my Voting Power is running out so fast. In all honesty, everything under 80% feels too low to me. I felt like I could upvote way less posts and comments ( I like to upvote comments ) than I like to and that didn't sit well with me.
I had tried a bunch of times, recently, to make myself an alt account on Leofinance ( the community where I hang out the most these past months ) and possibly - I don't remember - via Peakd.
I've seen quite a few people doing this, in order to be able to give upvotes on Leo, without draining the Voting Power of their main Hive account.
I thought my LEO alt accounts were created, but their keys didn't seem to work and I gave up forgot about it, after a while.
That is, up till today.
Today I gave the account creation another try, via the Leo wallet and (wo)man it was an easy, quick and smooth process.
I merely went to my Leo wallet, clicked on claim account and then on create account, right next to it. I then typed in the name of my alt account ( littlehyper.leo ), made up a temp password, downloaded my keys and C'est ça. Here I am.
I was a little confused though about delegation. I tried to delegate Leo Power from my main account to my Leo curation account, but it didn't seem to go through ( even though I received no error ). I then figured that it had to do with my current power down. I lowered the number of delegation power a little ( to make sure it was lower than my remaining LP, excluding the power down ) and it worked.
As per usual, people in ( the Leofinance ) discord chat were helpful. Cheers @FknMayhem , @tonimontana , @ubg and @bozz and helped me to get rid of my temporary state of confusion.
For now the 5k LP delegation will have to make do. I will probably up it to the max ( after my Power Down has finished ).
This write up was mainly made to let you all know that littlehyper.leo - who will be upvoting your Leo posts and comments as well as leaving some sweet comments himself, is yours truly: @vincentnijman
It might also be the little kick behind the butt that you needed to make your own alt/ curation account.
Also, if you decide to do so, make sure to delegate some Hive Power to your alt account too. I realized that littlehyper.leo was running very low on resource credits, after a couple of transactions ( votes and follows ). A mere 22 HP delegation made up for this and gave me the following screen that looks a lot nicer to the eyes than drained bars in brown or reddish colors:
I am looking forward to interacting with you on Leofinance.
Have a good one!

I have some LP delegated to my wife's account that I use for curation. I also started using the vote percentage settings in leodex.io and that has helped me manage my VP much better. I can give a 2% upvote that doesn't move my Hive too much but it equals an 8% upvote over on LEO. This makes things much more manageable for me.

Interesting. I don't see that setting in LEODEX though. Where exactly do I find it? Even though I remember it from Hive Engine. Started using it there for some tokens quite a while ago.
I guess you're talking about auto curation/ curation trails though here?
I actually prefer to vote manually and decide how much I find a post or comment worth it. Especially on Hive, I prefer to either not vote at all or make sure the vote makes it over the dust threshold and reaches the person that wrote the blog / comment.
P.S. Have you ever heard of @dustsweeper? If not, you might find it an interesting service to use. It's the way to make small votes count.

Really interesting. I haven't tried. I had an old account laying around @tulwave, and that is where I do my curating and leo powering up.

Cheers!
I have another one too ( @vincinema ) but I mainly use that one for movie posts. Recently blew some new life into it, after not blogging about films for ages. I felt I needed one just for LeoFinance.
