You probably know that upvoting is changing in HF19. Your upvotes will be worth more but you will only have 10 votes a day before your voting power starts decreasing
A lot of people are advising spreading your voting power around by adjusting the slider. For example if your upvote is worth 0,04 SBD, you can adjust your slider from 100 percent to 50 percent so that the worth of your upvote becomes 0.02 SBD.
Make sure to check the percentage of your voting power. You can check the percentage of your voting power here. Just search for your account and you will see your voting power in the top-right of the screen.
The percentage of your voting power also affects your upvote. So if your upvote is worth 0.04 SBD and your voting percentage is at 50 percent your upvotes will be worth 0.02 SBD. If you then adjust the slider to 50 percent, the worth of your upvote will decrease to 0.01 SBD.
So in short you will be able to upvote more before your voting power starts decreasing when you use the slider.
However if you are a newbie like me, you are probably wondering where you can find this slider?
After reading about the slider I searched high and low to find it. I went to settings, tried other browsers and eventually gave up. However, two days ago the thing just popped up!
After some research, I finally found out what the issue was:
**The slider will only become available when you have at least 1 million vests, which currently translates to 480 SP in your wallet.
You can check can check your vests here. Just search for your account and you will see the ammount of vests on the right.
I hope this helps all you new Steemians that are looking for that slider you keep reading about but can't find.
Resteem this post so that we can inform as much new Steemians as possible!
