Very interesting. I've read quite a bit about Hive recently, but often, I ended up more confused than when I started.
On the other hand, your explanation here is the clearest one I've come across, and I appreciate it.
I learned about:
A. Voting percentage
B. How the system stops voting-bots
C. Staked tokens/Hive Power
D. The more 'balanced' earning of consumer and creator.
E. Untapped potential of 'fully attracting' creators on this platform.
Extremely insightful, @nonameslefttouse!
You've given me a lot of value today far beyond your '10% vote' (though I'm grateful for that too). Thanks for injecting more joy into my early Hive experience.
And now, resource credits (RC). I see you're getting low. Under 50%. That'll take three days to charge up. Hive Power is what's needed to have more resource credits and a vote worth money. Everything you do costs RC including voting, commenting, posting, etc, all of it. If you power up your earnings when you receive them after seven days, that'll help.
Try this out:

That's what I use to browse Hive. That's where I found out your RC was getting low (by hovering the mouse over the 'i' next to your reputation score). So take it easy. I'd suggest avoiding hitting the vote button, since it's kind of pointless right now as it's not really a 'like' button. That'll save on some RC. Leave too many comments and you'll get a warning telling you you need to be quiet for a few days while it charges up LOL!
Oh my... now I'm scared to even reply to comments, lol. I'll try to power up my earnings after 7 days, thank you.
I signed up for PeakD, it has a nice look and some nice features, again appreciated.
I've learned so much about Hive just from a few comments from you, I agree with @slobberchops, you could totally rock some tutorials if you felt up to it. Or as I learn more, perhaps I could make some, just to help out other beginners like myself. :)
Anyway, I may use up all my remaining RC replying to people in this thread, so I'm off to figure out a way to get more.
