I'd estimate that I vote about 45-60 times a day, and maybe 80-100 votes on Sundays, with 81% voting weight. I vote on a few comments with 21% too... This keeps me around 80-90% as steemdb measures it. Though I have a rest period when I sleep and work, so it charges up a bit. (No bot for when I'm away.)

Ok...Im not too knowledgeable about this but I was told that you should post no more than 4 times per day and 100 votes per day... I use 1 bot and I'm a minnow and just learning here.... I use steemstats.com because it shows me my voting power on a daily basis... with my bot (which I'm testing out still) my voting power is over 82%

Your VP goes back up by around 20% everyday. So reduce your Vote weight or the number of people you vote or both to maintain it at a certain level. There are days when my VP drops to mid-60s but usually I'm able to keep it over 80% :) I prefer manually curating over the use of bots. If it's at 14% just slow down on your voting drastically and it'll come back up. At 14% it's no good to you or anyone you are voting other than just adding your name to the list of votes. :)

About 20-30 hundred percent upvotes a day. Theres a limited amount of steem coming into existence everyday and is distributed according to weight of votes in the network. Theres no way to have unlimited voting power to game the system :p

Join the club ;)
Am trying to vote posts at 80%. Comments at 51% as somebody said that before...
w/c i might try to upp both later as my VP is at 97-99%.
You can go higher if you vote less, that way your VP wont go down dramatically.
@englishtchrivy caught my attention as well..she got nothing better to do ;)

Another important thing: if you upvote in the first second as post appears - you'll have nothing - all curation will go th the author. In 15 minutes - you get 50% of curation. 30  minutes and after - all 100% are yours. But if you vote after whale, you will not have a penny also. So if you see polular post, sometimes it is better to vote at 15  minutes and get 50% then in 30 after whales.

Great article. These were some of my questions also. Resteemed upvoted and followed. Thanks

It's important to adjust your voting power weight, when using not.  Do not adjust 100% weight to all upvoted.  :)

Thanks for posting this! Didn't even know about that, haha.

my cents , read the welcome page :D or once of the bigger posts on steemit , i've never read the whole of it , but this is what i faced the first week of my time on Steemit :D

Its already outdated for sure , but it's still a very informative and in-depth post

Back to you VP is so that people don't vote on everything and actually read and distribute value. you can vote at different percentages as you've heard to vote more but you'r votes weigh less and your payouts on rewards will be less also , that's the short version the TLDR :D TIL TLDR stands for too long didn't read:D

keep it at least 80%

I have been using SteemVoter for a few months and am part of Steemtrail as well. Play with the percentage, my voting power normally stays around 50-60%.

the system allows for roughly 40 votes a day at 100%, if you are voting 80 times you'd need to drop your percentage to 50% or so. Your voting power will recover if you slow down the rate you are voting or just stop for a couple of days or so

What's safe? I don't know. My power is hovering 50-60% almost daily.

If you didn't know voting power goes down, there might be other things you don't know.  Cover all the bases with the Steemit Whitepaper! :)
