RE: my steemit introduction: encouragement, great stories from real people, is world peace in sight?
@happyme may i ask another question? i really really like the way you explain things. i would say that there is an opening for your creating a mentor/buddy pool with 10 or so members and earning steem from that somehow.
That WAS a question. LOL
Of course! You need not get permission to ask a question. Just go ahead and ask away!
I was just looking into your wallet and see several transfers to NUL. Have you been declining payment for your posts? I thought only whales did that.
that really puzzles me. when i "promote" a post. i promoted 3 or 4 today, i get a message saying that i have sent some SBD to NUL.
Oh... now I understand. When you click on the PROMOTE button, that puts the article onto a special status that is PAID for! In essence, you are paying to put that post into the limelight for others to see.
BTW, I noticed your account is over 6 months old and I read that at around 6 months they take your loaned SP away. Did you notice when that was taken? Do you get a slider bar for your voting power yet?
i joined in march, late march. so that is only two months. i remember seeing a figure in brackets. and i remember it disappearing soon after i joined.
Did someone else open the account for you earlier than March of this year? If you look at the history in your wallet, the first deposits say 6 months ago. Scroll wayyyyyy to the bottom.
oooooo spooky, i shall take a look.
by bottom post says ....
I just looked at your wallet again and you are absolutely correct! Either my eyes are playing tricks on me or my mind is! Is it possible I saw 2 months and my mind said 6 months? YIKES! I think I've been in front of the computer too long lately! That's scary!
hahhahahah

There's another reward in there for you to claim!
yay!
when i upvote something, it does not cost me anthing.
when i resteem somehing it does not cost me anything does it?
i love upvoting. can i keep upvoting posts to my heart's content? or is there a limit? or penalty for too many upvotings?
It costs you Steem Power each time you vote. Currently, if you are at 100% voting power, you can vote 40 times per day and by tomorrow you will be at full power again. Soon (after they do the update to HardFork 19), that will drop to only 10 votes per day. It does not cost you anything from your actual money to vote or to resteem
wow, it COSTS me SP to vote? eeek!
SP is just your voting INFLUENCE. I know... all these different currencies and various metrics drove me nuts at first too. Perhaps it is my fault for not clarifying that point. After all, we put money into buying SP. Perhaps I should be using the term vests. All the tutorials I've read call it Steem Power and I'm simply using their jargon. Sorry for misleading you. As I said before, vests and SP are somehow linked, but they are different. It does NOT cost you any MONEY to vote or resteam. It is ONLY your voting INFLUENCE that goes down and is replenished at 20% per day. Basically you can use 80 % every day and be back at 100% the following day. If you are way down, stop for a few days to allow it to get to 100%. Use ... darn... not sure if I leave the page to look it up if I lose all my typing... anyway, use one of the links from my tutorial to get to the db. I think it is steemdb.com and 1 more that show your voting power.
I really have no idea when the update will be, but it seems like it could be within the next few weeks or less.
i will have to study all that ... i found the page. yet i cannot find the VOTING influence, the percentage.

Just use https://steemdb.com/@marionjoe and you will see the graphic (power bar) top right.
testing power bar
i have just voted on your comment. and now am
You have 89 % left.
how can i find out my percentage voting power?
You are at 88.62
https://steemdb.com/@marionjoe
Don't vote any more today and you should be 100% tomorrow.
wow, thank you.
what does LESS influence actually mean?
It means that you have less voting power and will earn less money. The whales have all the power and when they vote their one vote can equal 100 or more minnow votes. If you add 1 cent, they could potentially add $10 if they use 100% of their vote power. Many use the slider to give less each vote, but vote on more posts and spread the wealth.
I just opened the entire conversation and saw that there was additional material in the post. Did you EDIT the post? Perhaps that is why I had trouble responding. We are adding things to the blockchain faster than it can keep up. Remember that it has to synchronize all data with all the servers around the world. I suppose a mentoring program would be great. I have no idea how to make that work though. I'm not a programmer, so I'm stuck with this posting system that is available here and now.
I answered the question on how to quote, but I don't see it in the chain of replys. Did you see my answer?
no i did not see your answer.
somehow, making a channel within here for newbiest titled eg #newbie buddies club
If you can do that, I would be happy to join. Seems you know something I don't! I still have so much to learn and sharing is a great way to do that.
yes sharing is a great way to learn. i only have an inkling of what is possible. i only heard today about "channels", like a sub-community.
or maybe, creating another identity titled eg @newbie buddies mentor club
They frown upon having multiple accounts. Since we need a cell phone number for verification, how do we get a 2nd account except to buy one? There is a method for buying accounts but it DOES cost real money. 15 steem I think. That's more than half of what I own.
o i see
I have a favour to ask of you. Would you mind scrolling way down to the bottom (its not that far since I don't have a lot of posts) of my blog page and find the 2nd up from the bottom. It should be my video of how to self-manipulate your back. I won't get paid for any upvotes because its older than 7 days, but so many people I know have back problems and this technique could help them. Would you mind copying and pasting the link into a new post (there is no longer the option to resteem after pay-day) and promoting it to your followers? I can't believe that this video is not going viral because it really works for so many people, yet they don't share it with anyone. They just heal themselves and keep it to themselves. I believe that good things need to be shared.
absolutely will.
can i just copy your whole post?
o
yes, i often edit the post.
