Hi Steemians
Up until now, to benefit from upvotes from 
With our recent update we are bringing in two changes:
Let us go through those two changes.
Dropping the minimum SP to 2 allowed us to implement the SmartVote shares functionality without adding too much complexity to its usability. However, it brings up another small issue that we want to clarify.
Now that the minimum SP delegation is just 2 SP, smaller accounts can choose to join us but you need to keep in mind that delegating 4 SP will only gives you upvotes at 4 x 10 = 40 SP which, at today price of STEEM, is just $0.003 STU. You will see it shown as $0.00 on Steemit.com because they are rounding it to two decimals. However, you can verify that the upvotes you receive from
Buying SmartVote Shares (referred as SVS from now on in this article) will allow you to get lifetime upvotes from
Basically, for each 1 STEEM transferred to
Here is a table of examples:
| Transfer amount | Shares | SP | Upvote SP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 STEEM | 2 SVS | 4 SP | 40 SP |
| 2 STEEM | 4 SVS | 8 SP | 80 SP |
| 5 STEEM | 10 SVS | 20 SP | 200 SP |
| 10 STEEM | 20 SVS | 40 SP | 400 SP |
| 50 STEEM | 100 SVS | 200 SP | 2000 SP |
How: just send a round amount of STEEM to
You can also purchase shares for one or multiple other Steemians giving them a lifetime upvote on posts and comments.
This functionality is also great if you are organising contests. You could offer SmartVote Shares as prize.
Very similar to buying shares for a friend, this feature allows you, in a single command, to buy shares for other Steemians and receive half of the purchased shares.
Simply go to your wallet and send a 1 STEEM to
To buy shares for one or more friends, the process is the same but add your friend’s Steem name in the MEMO for example @friend.
For multiple friends, add a list of friends separated by a space, for example: @friend1 @friend2 @friend3, each of them will receive an equal amount of shares.
To make your life easier, you can use the following SteemConnect links:
We have also updated our MEMO Commands Tool to help with creating your custom SteemConnect link.
For more complex operations, you could use a combination of the methods above to obtain the same thing but we've added some more control via MEMO commands to make your life easier:
@me @friend1 @friend3 and the three of you will get 2 shares each.half @friend1 @friend2 @friend3. For example: if you send 6 STEEM (12 SVS) with the memo half @friend1 @friend2 @friend3 and you will personally receive 6 while giving your friends 2 shares each.You can choose to receive upvotes from
