Haha yeah that was a really nice and random event - snow in October! Doesn't happen often but it does produce some gorgeous pictures!

This has certainly been a topic of late! I think it's important though and I hear you on the lower percentages of votes. I think for me, I like to spread the votes to many different people but also still be in the 90% range for voting power so that if I see a good post, it gets some decent percentage of my voting benefit instead of one that's at like 75% of what it could be. This is just my strategy though!

When I get more hive power, such as in the 70k range, I will shift to doing 50% is my max most likely so I can give out more. There are some people like Edicted who rotate their votes to people and just do 100% which is also good. Who knows what I'll end up doing for sure but I do want to make sure I support the people who keep stake in the platform!
