As a @tipU curator I often find myself out of mana - just as I used my daily ration there's this one more post that I really feel needs to be curated. So far the only solution was to wait for mana reset but now we have new option - mana recharge.
Now, recharging mana is not free of cost as then every curator would have basically infinite curation mana. Instead I've added a mechanic for burning @tipU tokens (sending them to @null) which instantly recharges one vote for the curartor. Let's see how it works.
@tipU profit sharing tokens, or TPUs, are giving share of @tipU profits to its holder. They exist on the steem-engine platform and users are free to trade and transfer them - no staking is needed.
To buy TPUs:
Now let's go to the wallet section and transfer some TPUs to @null
And that's it! Whole operation should take no longer than 1 minute if you have used steem-engine before. I imagine that this feature might be not super popular as curators are used to send free upvotes but please remember this is optional. Also I know I will be using it ;)
PS. Nominations are paused currently as @tipU is burning voting power to quick. Need to find equilibrium point.
