I am honestly guilty of this as I have already answered many questions here on Musing but only upvoted around 5% of them. So I guess Sorry is in order. Sorry!! :)
My reasons are mostly because of the "dust payout threshold" and the VP percentages. Before HF20 all posts and comments with a payout less than $0.02 becomes $0.00 after 7 days.
Last month my effective SP was only at 250, which would mean I have to give a full vote($0.023) in order to ensure that my vote won't go to waste as not all questions are being upvoted by Musing. Seeing as VP recharges around 20% per day, that would mean only 10full votes on Musing alone.
Well I'm probably just making excuses here but now that I have an effective SP of around 1000+, I can now at least scale some of my votes to make this platform grow more.
So I swear to upvote ALL questions I will answer on Musing from now on as long as Musing has not yet upvoted that question. I think this will help the curators see what questions are of quality.
I probably will start at 20%($0.010) which I think is still below the threshold but I guess it's the thought that counts? :)
Ever heard of Dustsweeper? Tell people where you vote often of that service "My vote is only a small amount but with Dustsweeper it won't be lost"
I have heard of DustSweeper and have been using it for months now. It would have been cool if they added a feature in which a votee's vote would also be followed by them 5days after to ensure that it doesn't becomes dust.
Right now, dustsweeper only upvotes posts/comments from the one who have subscribed or was sponsored to their service. :)
You mean a service where I invest and it looks whether the comments I voted for had a high enough reward to be paid out? That could be quite a big amount, I don't know who would pay for that. I wouldn't. And perhaps that might discourage ppl to invest in Dustsweeper...
Truth be told the reason I tried DustSweeper was because I thought it did exactly just like that.
Months ago I used to get a decent amount of comments on my blog posts to which I always make sure to upvote above the dust threshold. This means I have to upvote most of the time around 50% which is ery costly, my thought was just I could upvote them at 10% and let dustsweeper do the rest. Well turns out it doesn't work that way.
So yeah I for one would pay for a service like that.
Thank you for using Dusty.
What you mention above is in the pipeline. The idea is to give users a choice, if they want Dusty to follow their vote or vote their own comments. The choice will be to set the preference, if there is enough vote-power, or not enough votes in one of the categories, Dusty will automatically do the other category.
Perfectt! Looking forward to it :) Thanks
