I just up-voted a post that already had made about 353 dollars. It jumped up a whole dollar fifty. That is right MY up-vote was worth a dollar fifty. I own a whopping 4.9 SP. Payout to the author increases per minnow vote as the author gains more value on the post. If you see your favorite Steemian and want to reward them as a minnow, up-voting them after some whales have already up-voted is the way to do it!
