Steem - Steemit Forum / Illustrated Guide: What is a steemit upvote?
« on: November 21, 2017, 12:20:25 PM »
What is an “Upvote”?
An upvote on Steemit.com is very different than a vote on any other social-media website. Clicking that little arrow is much more than a “Like” on Facebook or a “Heart” on Instagram. On Steemit, votes are rewarded with STEEM!
In today’s Toolkit post, we’ll explain what an “upvote” actually is, where the rewards come from and and how they are distributed on the Steemit website.
Where does the STEEM come from?
When you upvote someone’s post - that value is not being withdrawn from your personal account. (This is a common misunderstanding.) You’re not giving anyone anything from your personal savings or STEEM Power. Instead, you’re vote is actually tapping into a brand new pool of STEEM. There’s a fresh batch of STEEM produced everyday, and it’s called the daily rewards pool.
New STEEM tokens are being created all the time. The rewards pool is an amount of STEEM generated every day from inflation. Right now, several tens of thousands of STEEM tokens are being created every day (Approximagely 63,000/day. The percentage of yearly inflation shrinks incrementally as time goes on). This daily STEEM represents the pool from which your vote takes a certain amount and distributes it to where you’ve directed.
What happens when you vote?
When you click the upvote button you are telling the STEEM Blockchain, “this is where I want X amount of the daily rewards pool to go.” The amount that you’re able to direct is dependent on the amount of STEEM Power you have. So the more SP you have, the more of the daily rewards pool you can direct to posts you like! (Your vote is not affected by liquid STEEM or SBD
Curation Rewards
An upvote on Steemit is also a tool for you to earn curation rewards. Simply put, when a post or comment is paid out a portion of the rewards is redistributed back to the people that helped generate that amount. If you upvote a post, you’re effectively helping it gain visibility and support and you’re rewarded for that curation.
The amount you get back from a post you upvoted depends on a number of factors - how much the post made during payout, at what point in time you upvoted that post, the number of votes before you upvoted, voting power, and so on and so forth. Without going into too much detail, the following can be used as the basic rule of thumb-
The earlier that you vote on a potentially successful and highly rewarded post, the more you will make in curation rewards.

Steem - Steemit Forum / An Introductory Guide for Bloogers on steemit
« on: November 21, 2017, 12:06:25 PM »
Hello Welcome to Steemit!
This post was written for YOU - the internet surfer, blogger, link-sharer, artist, educator, designer, curator or the simply crypto-curious.
Steemit is a new social media website.
As appearances go, Steemit.com looks and acts a lot like the website Reddit.com. We’ve got a “trending” front-page where you can see a wide range of popular daily content... there are individual profiles, post feeds, followers and so on... But there’s one big difference that allows Steemit to stand above any other social media network today. Here, you are rewarded for sharing content... And we cannot emphasize that enough… Likes (called “upvotes”) = carry actual value. Every single day - you are rewarded for creating content, discovering, curating and commenting.
Gamify The Social Media Experience
Engagement is rewarded.
If you like a post that someone has shared, simply click the “upvote” ^ button to express your approval. It’s the same as a “like” on Facebook, except your click = currency.
Voting on the posts of others doesn’t take any currency away from you.
It's free, and fun to play this social-media-style game.
Steemit.com is powered by the same technology behind Bitcoin. There’s a local currency used here called “STEEM” which (like Bitcoin) is digital money.
Both Bitcoin and STEEM are organized through a data-sharing technology called “blockchain”. You might have heard that word used before in the news with respect to big companies like Microsoft, Blackrock or IBM. For these guys, blockchain is exciting because it allows for super fast, secure and even smart sharing of data. Moving information from A to B via blockchain can happen in just seconds, as opposed to in hours or even days. For example; think of how long it takes to deposit a check in your bank account… you give a bank teller a check and then wait 3-5 business days for that money to appear. When you move currency through the STEEM blockchain a transaction takes just a couple of seconds.
So blockchain tech isn't just disruptive for the social media landscape, it could reinvent the way data is shared, secured and distributed globally. We could be on the verge of an entirely new world wide web, built properly and more efficiently for the 21st century!
The STEEM blockchain generates a new "pool" of currency every day. When you publish content on Steemit, you receive upvotes. Votes direct a percentage of that reward pool to your account. The whole process is very similar to how Bitcoin operates, where miners receive Bitcoin as a reward for their work (processing transactions). With STEEM, instead of rewarding miners, the blockchain rewards bloggers!
How do Steem Tokens carry $ value in USD?
Like Bitcoin, you can trade STEEM on a digital currency exchange. (Similar to how you can buy or invest in the Euro, Yuan, Rupee or USD.) There are hundreds of tokens out there that are available to buy and trade. The dollar value is supported by demand for the token and frequency of exchange for other assets.
However, STEEM is not just a straight up currency like Bitcoin. Steem is tied to a social media platform. Content and engagement influence value. STEEM's value movement is tied directly to the happenings and content shared on Steemit.com. Value can go up or down based on a change to the blockchain, a mention in the news, a new STEEM-powered project or feature. Another way to look at it is like a share of stock. If you're a shareholder of Facebook, the value of your stock fluctuates when the company announces a surprise boost of new users joining the platform or a new feature. Ultimately, the value ties back to the engagement and frequency of material created on the platform.
You publish so much stuff on the web everyday, why aren't you getting paid for all that hard work and time spent? Social media companies make a lot of money off of your effort and what do they give you in return? The value-factor of Steemit makes for an entirely new (but seemingly obvious) online environment. Having something at stake creates a very different social-media experience. The community here empowers good content while spammy posts fall into the background. Steemians take a lot of pride in their community and in the support of good authors and content creators!
When the platform was just a couple months old there was a welcome banner that heralded Steemit as “the internet’s first small town.” That has always stuck with us. Why? Users here (referred to as “Steemians”) really do treat Steemit like a small town. You’ll find that we are extremely supportive and constructive. There’s no incentive for nasty comments, so we have very few of them. Steemians just want this social platform to be a success! It’s a brand new experiment, a totally new economy and a new way to engage and empower one another!
You can connect with people. Not just high-school friends, neighbors or work colleagues. Steemit helps you find people with like-minded interests and ideas and encourages you to engage with them. Comments receive rewards, so people truly take the time needed to compose thoughtful responses and feedback. You don't see that extra effort anywhere else on the web. Steemit might just be the first true social media platform.
This is the central reason why we are writing this to you, today. We want YOU to be a part of this. We need your own unique perspective of the world, your talent, passion and engagement to help build a stronger future for Steemit.
Let’s build something together. We hope that you will consider becoming a member of this community! It’s entirely free to join, in fact, Steemit will even give you a few tokens to get started. We look forward to hearing from you. Welcome!

Steem - Steemit Forum / Earn STEEM/SBD by Upvoting [How Curation Rewards Work on Steemit]
« on: November 21, 2017, 11:32:51 AM »
How Can I Earn Curation Rewards?
On Steemit, you can earn rewards through blogging / commenting and by voting too! When you upvote another person’s post, you receive a fraction of the total value of that post in the form of STEEM. These bits of STEEM are called “curation rewards”. In this post, we’ll talk about best practices for earning these rewards and strategies for maximizing your impact.
Breaking It Down
Steemit rewards are split among two groups of people. 75% of the payout goes to the author of the post / comment while 25% goes to the curators. (These “curators” represent anyone who upvoted that post or comment within the 7 day payout window.)
How to Maximize your Curation Rewards
25% of the post payout is split among all of the curators. However, within that 25% there are some strategies to make the most out of your upvotes. Here is how it all breaks down:
If you vote on a post before it turns 30 minutes old, you surrender a portion of your potential curation rewards directly to that author. If you upvote a post before the 30 minute window, rewards are split up differently. Here’s how it looks:
0 minutes 100% of the curation reward goes to the author
3 minutes 90% goes to the author and 10% to the curator
15 minutes 50% goes to the author and 50% to the curator
27 minutes 10% goes to the author and 90% to the curator
30 minutes + 100% of the curation reward goes to the curator
Voting Tip:
If you are looking to maximize your curation rewards, it is best to upvote after the 30 minute mark. However, if you would like to further support the author that you are upvoting, it's a nice gesture to vote before those 30 minutes have passed.

News related to Crypto / First Long-Term LedgerX Bitcoin Option Pegs Price at $10,000
« on: November 21, 2017, 11:14:42 AM »
Called a Long-Term Equity Anticipation Security (LEAPS), the trade was matched by the platform this morning and is set to expire on December 28, 2018. Under the terms of the deal, the buyer has the right to buy bitcoin at a price of $10,000 at that date, or almost a 30 percent premium on today's price.
Chou said:
"There will be, I expect, a lot more trades down the line. This is the first one, but it at least gives you the first guess from different institutional traders as to what bitcoin's dynamics will look like from now until 2018."

Tether, the company behind a dollar-pegged cryptocurrency widely used in the market's exchange trade, is claiming that its systems have been hacked and that $30 million worth of its tokens have been stolen.
The company wrote:
"$30,950,010 USDT was removed from the Tether Treasury wallet on Nov. 19, 2017 and sent to an unauthorized bitcoin address. As Tether is the issuer of the USDT managed asset, we will not redeem any of the stolen tokens, and we are in the process of attempting token recovery to prevent them from entering the broader ecosystem."
