Great knowledge imparted once again.  All of the manuals and whitepapers are great but sometimes like drinking from a firehose when you are learning your way around.  A couple little sips makes it easier not to choke on it all!

Looking forward to more posts on the SSI.

Thanks for the great post @lukebrn.

It is a great post for beginners, I think we should appreciate quality contents by upvoting because as you said we are not losing any steem but still get curation rewards. Yeah, I know that 75% tokens are created for the bloggers and curators.

By the way, I appreciate for your projects, No worries slow and steady wins the race.

Another way of looking at it is as a form of mining but "proof of brain" rather than proof of work or stake. 

But to explain that to newbies is tough - I prefer your explanation!

Sneaky Ninja Attack! You have been defended with a 13.67% vote... I was summoned by @lukebrn! I have done their bidding and now I will vanish...Whoosh

Thanks for writing, once again. It sounds like you've already tried to explain the Steemit voting system to non-Steemians.

Looking forward to these guides man. I have so many people in my circles asking me 'what is Steemit' and what does this or that mean....Having somewhere and something that I can point them to will help a lot.

There's plenty of blogs out there providing great info, but I think SSI is gonna blow people's minds.

Keep it up sir, looking forward to seeing the end results!

If Incould place a „wish“ here, ups and downs of voting bots and how they work would be great. Only if that fits to the philosophy of your initiative though!

Great to have you here!

I really appreciate your simple and direct explanation of what an upvote is and does. I am 70 years old and grew up with a rotary phone and a TV with an antenna. I am not that social media savvy.  I started on Steemit 2 weeks ago at the urging of my middle son.

As a Christian author and speaker who has taught Bible studies for almost 30 years, I have a lot of good content to share.  I am somewhat disappointed having already blogged 15 high quality and insightful teachings but only with a total of 106 upvotes.  

I would be thankful if you would offer  any suggestions on how I can get more people to read what I have posted. I have given you an upvote and have been following you as well.
