RE: Pending Payouts & Upvotes - Could someone Explain This Please? :)
The more invested in steem power you are the bigger weight your vote carries. Although depending on how many votes you cast in a really short amount of time your voting power is split between all those votes. It resets every 36 minutes and then you have your full voting power again.
Steep power also pays interest which is actually quite significant. There's a bunch of reasons to hold steem power read up on those perhaps. But basically SP is your influence in this system. Hope that kinda helps.
You are spot on and correct.
Thank you, I appreciate it. I won't say that I know exactly how SP works, because I don't, but I do know a bit about it at least. And that's actually the reason for my question to begin with.
I understand that SP is the major thing here. I know it truly is POWER we're talking about.. And I don't mind getting paid $0,10 or $45, or nothing at all that doesn't matter at all. I'm just glad to be here as I believe steemit is awesome. It's unique and cool and you CAN make money by making posts. Nothing says that you WILL do it. You CAN.
But that's not the reason for my post. I don't care about the actual earnings, I'm eager to fully understand WHY this happens and HOW it can be such a big difference between 2 posts I've made, when the post with LESS votes EARNS more, even though the voters have more or less the SAME amount of SP in total on both posts.
I wouldn't wonder about this if the post with more votes had LESS SP in total. (by combining the voters SP.)
