RE: When Was the Last Time You Checked the Stats of Your Outgoing Votes?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Thank you @gadrian. I found my pie charts and other data! I have improved a lot with my Hive Power! Thank you for this info today on Voting stats. There are many other stats here as well! I have read it is not good Hive etiquette to upvote your own posts and your own comments. Curation trails are good and I am trying to remember exactly what they are and how they are helpful. Growing as a community then is what the curation trails are for right? It's really good for the individual that we are helping make a difference for them by upvoting them. I love doing this anything I can to make a difference for someone. I get confused at times so I hope I am not under valuing someone by upvoting their posts and comments all the time. Is that possible @gadrian to hurt some ones value by upvoting for them every time I read their comment or read their post? Thank you! Barb !BBH !CTP #ctp
It's debatable. I don't upvote them unless I need a comment to be a little more visible, but others say if you don't upvote your own work it means you don't appreciate it and you should be the first to do it. At first, I upvoted my posts based on this principle, but later I thought it was much better to leave that appreciation totally in the hands of others.
Curation trails are a feature in certain tools (for example, hive.vote), that allows someone to follow the vote of certain curators who set up such curation trails and make them public. That's why when certain services upvote posts, there is a trail of upvotes following from other unrelated accounts, usually at lower weights than the original vote.
Yes, if the curation trail you follow votes within a certain community. But curation trails are for different types and purposes. They usually state their objective quite clearly.
Certainly not. But if you don't have enough voting mana or if you vote frequently on posts or comments that don't make it to the post payout threshold (2 cents, minimum), you hurt your own curation rewards.
OK thank you much @gadrian for your answers. Where would I look into the stats to see that I'm hurting my upvote payout threshold? Thanks and have a great week! !BBH !CTP #ctp
You can check hivestats.io, and from there the curation efficiency of your votes from the last 7 days. If it's below 40%, I'd say it's pretty low, if it's below 30% it's kind of awful. I guess from the efficiency p.o.v., it would be best if the return would be 50% and above. But that doesn't always happen.
For example, you upvoted my comment above (thanks for the intention!). You will receive a 0% return on it (on the Hive side, and maybe some curation rewards on the Hive-Engine side) because that comment won't have at least 2 cents at payout time and won't receive any rewards, as things stand now.
OK thank you @gadrian I'll take a look at hivestats.io and I will look at the curation votes percentage for the last 7 days. !BBH !CTP
This is what my percentage is @gadrian and I don't know if I understand well enough on what not to vote for to make it higher. Thank you. Current Vote Value (57.6%) not sure if this was for 7 days looking at the chart confused but I have this one.

I can't read that well either. Maybe a screenshot would help.
A vote value (which really is voting mana) of 57% is very low. You should keep it above 80%, maybe even 90%, depending how often you vote. That means you need to vote less. For example, voting on my comment above doesn't help you or me. Neither of us get anything at payout. You should only vote on posts, not comments.
Oh no. OK @gadrian I will try to remember that.
Is there anyway I can undo the votes? I don't want to downvote and that would show broken hearts.
You can undo a vote by voting again at 0% weight. Not by downvoting! That's something different.
Like this, on PeakD:
But voting with 0% after you voted with a higher weight doesn't give back your consumed voting mana, as far as I remember.
Just remember not to vote again if it doesn't benefit either you or the author.
OK thank you @gadrian That is what I thought. Please remind me if I accidently vote again. I'm horribly overstressed right now due to getting ready to move. My apologies.
Ah, that's a lot of work and can be very stressful. Stay strong!
Thank you so much @gadrian! 😊
