false.....it depends on what you are flagged for....and also flagging most of the time would only erase that posts and the earning from the post....not the account itself

You didn't talk about reputation reduction when flagged

doyinisaac:
SBD will still reach 15$ before june.....it depends on demand and supply

It's very possible

2nioshine:

Very true but that percentage is a function of total numbers who upvoted.

[b]Say 3 people upvoted a post and their increase to the total SBD is 20, 30,40 thus giving the post 80 SBD.

75% goes to the Author (If the first upvote is is made after 30min, ie the author does not share from the curator's reward)

75% of 80 = 60 SBD


The 20 SBD remaining ( Curators Reward) is then shared in the percentage of their contributions

2:3:4

The man with 40 SBD gets (ratio calculation)
4/8 x 100 = 50%

And 50% of 20 SBD =10 SBD (in steem)[/b]Now check if the contributors were 100 for same SBD don't you think it might also affect/reduce your earning percent. We can check this analysis on Steemitstats.com and observe things.
I may be wrong tho

But what i do, I target the big buks with small voters and it works for me.

lol...not as straightforward as that....don't be surprised if someone with 1$ upvote that was the first person to upvote the post after thirty minutes should earn more than someone wih 5$ upvotes that came late to the party...

tosyne2much:

reputation itself is not permanent,it can reduce or increase at anytime depending on the activities on your account,if it reduces it can still increase back....and whales don't just flag a post simply because you upvoted your own post...even many whales do the same thing too,and hope you know that whales can flag any post created by a poster they consider as a competitor even if the poster did not do anything wrong,they flag some posts so that the post will go down and their own posts will become more visible....whales do wicked each other sometimes...whales can flag a post for no reason,they do not have time for small authors

True....... Alot of Factors decides. I made a post on this that transformed my Steemit story..... We all must get there.

tosyne2much:
A friend told me this always works for him and I don't know if that can also work for me with my low SP

Can someone shed more light on dtube please.
Thanks

Hahaha very funny.. You need to see the way I was laughing when reading your comment

Whales no get time to dey flag newbies. They are only attracted to posts that have good earnings so even if you continue to upvote every of your post, there's nothing to worry about


Sometimes, you even see whale commenting on your posts and they will not upvote it but will comment on your post and will upvote their own comment

Guys, there is God ooo

My own problem is simple.
I get followers every time, lemme be specific, I have about 50 now and whenever I post, only 5-6 people give upvotes , and most of those voters aren't my followers self.

At times I wonder y they followed me.
I try as much as possible to upvote those I'm following and only few of them do the same for me. I was tired of it, then I left. I logged in today only to see some rewards and I was motivated again.

Now, coming here to see tosyntomuch and pabon write something I don't quite understand now gave me the impression that there is really ego on steemit.

Please bosses, put us through na. I'm ready to do what it takes now. Name it; investing, leasing, join a community,....... and so on.

In most cases, it's not about the number of followers you have. You could have up to 300 followers and you will post without having a single upvote (flowers can be deceiving).

I always monitor those that upvote my posts and I can tell you that I barely get 3 upvotes from those following me. I usually get rewarded by passersby

Just pray you are lucky to get upvoted by people with strong VP. Just one upvote can give you what your 500 followers can't give you

Hope you grab?

So true...

Baba, Poloniex has been seizing my 25 SBD for three weeks now. Both SBD and steem have even been disabled shortly after I made the deposit

Ever experienced such a thing before?

Anybody making money yet?

ABOUT THE UTOPIAN TUTORIAL I TALKED ABOUT, LEMME BEGIN

In this tutorial, I am going to adopt some tips from @elear's post and I will drop the link to the post at the end so that you can read further and start contributing in earnest.
According to @elear who happens to be the founder of utopia project, Utopian.io is the only platform that will reward you for making Open Source contributions with Steem Power and shared SBD. While everyone is trying to make utopian-io based posts is because Utopian.io will reward you for creating contributions with the votes of the community members plus the vote of the Utopian Bot that is powered by about 4 million Steem Power! So wake up and make the best of this opportunity...
Now... I know newbies would have questions regarding what open source projects, open source contributions and shared SBD really are?


Please read in between lines...study whatever lines I drop...very important.
Don't wait until u get everything before trying to contribute. Practice makes perfect. Okay?
On the first one being open source projects: In general, open source refers to any program whose source code is made available for use or modification as users or other developers see fit. Open source software is usually developed as a public collaboration and made freely available.
For example...Steemit is Open Source, that means its codebase is public, accessible by everyone, editable by everyone.
Another examples of open source projects include utopian.io, busy.org, Google Chrome Browser, WordPress, etc. They are many. You can search online.
On the second question: open source contributions. These are ideas you make to open source projects in order to enhance user experience or positive growth of the concerned project. These contributions can take different forms such as:

- suggestions,

- sub-project,

- visibility, etc.
I will include a screenshot of the different categories so you can see

lol...the lease of steempower is like borrowing steempower,steempower determines how much your upvotes will worth on steemit,so some people lease steempower in order to be able to upvote any post and make money from that upvotes....

doyinisaac:

It was disabled generally and this happened shortly after I made a deposit

Hmmm...

Thank you boss!

tosyne2much:

maybe it is because of you they disabled it...village people ehn......


on a serious note,maybe its just a technical issue...contact them to know whats going on...

Pls our bosses should break things down a little bit na
Mk frustration no enter

So I can borrow steam power to pay later

So you can see that the program is flexible. It accommodates everyone both programmers and non programmers. I will explain that more below...
Let me now explain three categories (suggestion, bug hunting, and visibility) under which contributions can be made... You can read up others by visiting utopian.io
Suggestion: here, you just make a suggestion. Maybe you want sbd/Steem price indicator button on the front page of your blog. Just write something comprehensive about it and use an arrow to show where you want this to be. Most of my contributions have been made under suggestion category. A good way to get a better understanding of what I mean here is to visit these my links:

https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@penauthor/suggestions-for-steemrocks

https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@penauthor/suggestions-for-steemlyt

https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@penauthor/suggestions-for-projectsend

These three should give you a good idea on how to make contribution
These are just a few... Just be creative. You can come up with anything. It must not be only steemit that you must contribute to. There are other open source projects, just search them out, study them. You can compare them with sister projects and make your suggestion.
