Great to see you back, I thought you were gone forever not with you not showing up at SteemCamp last year. There's another one in April ran by @shanibeer. Would be good to see you again.
As I mentioned on your post, lots has changed.
- The tribes arrived last year, as well as gaining STEEM rewards you can gain other tokens as well as STEEM if you use the correct tags.
- Most dApps (not Steemit) allow 12 tags now, and you need them.
- Trending is now mostly organic. The Bid Bots are all but dead. You can still buy votes but you will get flagged to death if you do.
- Curation is a big thing now the reward system has changed from 75/25 to 50/50.
- Writing decent content attracts the curation groups, some that have spawned from the old bid bots.
Enough info for you?
Welcome back...
Wow! Some good pointers there, thank you! I was using esteem before, are they still upvoting content? I’ve probably got some research to do with regards to new groups to join in discord. So curating others is more profitable now? What are the timings set at currently?
eSteem only take a 3% cut now, it was 10% before. I still use busy as they take a 0% cut (unless you tick the box that says, tick here to give busy 10% of your rewards) and give you a vote based on your cumulative followers SP.
There is a seperate flag pool (now called downvotes). You can flag and the VP won't be removed from your regular pool.
TheSteemEngine has folded. @enchantedspirit has left, though she may roam about on discord still.
The timings.., yes all changed. 100% is now 5 minutes, I vote at 4 minutes which is 80%.
If I explained all this to a non Steemian.. it would be... 'huh' ;)
I know you understand the native STEEM tongue. It takes months to learn but is hard to forget.
🤣🤪 understood! Hehe I’m sure it will take a little time to catch up but I’ll soon get there. Just doing a little trading To Bump up some sp. what is a decent stake nowadays?
The new Dolphin is now the Orca (50,000 SP) is decent. 100 quid can buy you 1000 STEEM if you time it right.
Depends what you want, if it ever goes back to anywhere near $1 STEEM I will be in heaven.
