The Power of the VOTE!
We all know the power of voting. Whether you are voting for your government officials or a post in HIVE. Voting is power that shows approval or disapproval of the intended subject.
Voting is very valuable in the HIVE world and nowhere more so than ListNerds. ListNerds has introduced a unique method of “Proof of Mail” where mail is voted on to become verified based on content, appeal, and functionality.
One primary issue with the power of voting is that with great power comes great responsibility.
This responsibility is what I would like to focus on in this post.
Every regular mail that is sent through ListNerds needs to be validated for the author to receive their share of the rewards for the day. Validation occurs when there is a net score of 20+ upvotes on a message. Every downvote will decrease the net votes by 1.
I have read many opinions on how people vote on mails. Some people who don’t like marketing will downvote anything that is not a blog post whereas others will downvote any program that they do not like, regardless of the integrity or reputation of the business being advertised.
In my opinion, and this is just opinion, is that a mail that you open should be rated on appearance or neatness of the message, proper link function and overall feel for the message.
I do not feel that it should be a popularity contest or a place for vengeful retaliation. I generally will only downvote a mail if the text message is garbled, or all packed together making it hard to read. I will also downvote any mail where the link does not work.
I realize that we are all human and are prone to error, but ListNerds has several safeguards in place to allow you to double-check your links before publishing your mail
The vote is power. New members get limited power when they first begin. The greatest number of votes they will begin with is 4 votes with a voting power of 100. (approx. 25 voting power per vote).
As you use your votes and begin to earn CTP tokens, then your voting power increases. The more you vote, the more you can earn.
If you would like to have more voting power, then this is easily solved with a small investment of CTP tokens.
As of this writing, CXTP tokens cost 0.019 HIVE and HIVE is trading at just under $1 USD. For a small investment of $10 USD, you can buy HIVE and convert it to CTP tokens which will give you around 500 CTP tokens.
This will increase your vote power to 500 or 20 votes. Your voting power will renew at a rate of around 100 per day. This will provide you with a jump start on votes and earnings.
As you continue to accumulate more CTP tokens you will receive more voting power. And that $10 you spent? Well, you did not really spend it as you have invested and staked it into CTP token.
Agree or disagree with me, please let me know in the comments section. Thanks!
Until next time,
