RE: Do you pay attention to your vote value?
Hi FBA...Yes, I have definitely noticed, and the 'large' loss at payout always starts a day or two before the seven day period.
By timing their vacuuming just right they can suck up a lot while most folks, those not on the very end of the long tail, won't notice.
Two recent examples are:
Minus $1.39
Minus $2.08
Which is 'HUGE' in my opinion, especially on a 'small' vote tally, and cannot easily be offset by the typical %10 @ocdb help that I've been trying.
I read a complaint by another user some time back in a comment to a 'witness' post (which was also a complaint) and his response was:
"Value depends upon fluctuation in price, and how many users are voting. In this respect, the present accounting is sound" (paraphrasing)
Funny, but the complaint specifically mentioned that they 'knew' that factor, and 'not' to respond with 'that' as an excuse for the apparent theft of rewards a day prior to payout.
IT SUCKS....
Later voting affects vote value.
If i give out one vote a day for 3 days and then give out 2 votes a day for 4 days those first 3 votes will lose value.
It depends on the percentage of the whole that each vote represents of the voting account's total voted rshares.
Just another easter egg to be found in the math by those of us that don't code.
Sounds like a bunch of needless, mathematical bullshit by pseudo-intellectuals pretending to be wise, here on the platform who merely are just screwing things up for the users and further damaging steem/steemit reputation unfortunately.
Well, it is genius level balancing of many, many factors that was polished by use, proven to deliver, and then hijacked to abuse the pool by the greedy few.
All hail, stinc!
