https://steemd.com/@brendanmcpherson looking at the chart your voting power is now 75% the more you vote, yes the less the power of the vote. Don't vote pointlessly in my opinion, cheers!

yup..but if you don't USE IT...it goes away.
use it or loose it...it doesn't matter how powerful it is.
you can NOT save it.

if you don't have a vote slider...
don't worry about it.
vote to your hearts content.

What do you mean it goes away? Do you mean if it gets to 100% and I'm not giving out votes?

yuup...exactly.
consider a rainbarrel.
it can only hold so much.

it rains...the barrel fills UP.
the steem...it keeps trickling IN.

if you use some of the rain for drinking or something else
the barrel never fills up.
if you vote your steem...the barrel never fills up.

If you don't drink the rain...the barrel fills up and overflows onto the ground..
so sad.
if you don't vote your STeem...same thing.
only sadder..

Ok cool, I understand. I read somewhere that if you vote around 20 times a day you will stay at a pretty high percentage. Not sure how valid that is anymore.

It's 11 full powered votes per 24 hours now. You're welcome ;)

it's not.
old news before HF19 changed the rules.

Thanks

you're most welcome

Do you know of a link or something that has an up to date compilation of how to use steemit to the best of its ability?

Also thanks guys, I think because steemit is still in beta there's a lot of changes being made but there's still old info out there that isn't accurate anymore.

You said a mouthful.
I tend to forget it's still in beta.
Somehow...I don't think that word is accurate when it comes to Steem
Steem will ALWAYS change...that's part of it's charm
