Oh you don't have an upvote slider yet?
You have no idea what the market value of SBD is?
You don't get a free upvote for each of your posts?
You don't know what the current value of everyone's upvotes are?
Well then you must still be using Steemit.com to access the Steem blockchain.
What if I told you there was another way?
Well there is.
It's called busy.org
Everything posted through Busy.org can still be seen and interacted with through Steemit.com and vice versa, so don't worry, you're not being kidnapped and taken away from this wonderful place. Busy.org is like a better pair of glasses. Let me show you what you've been missing:
Here, on @reinhard-schmid's profile page (you should check out his work, it's great) we can his voting power, current vote value, the users he has reblogged the most, and then you see this little button that says "discover more people"? Let's click that.
Busy has gathered up all the most reputable users for you to browse. Not necessarily those with the most money or highest vote value, but those with consistently good content that you are sure to enjoy. You can also use the search bar at the top to find other people. Now let's refer back to the first screenshot, to that bar at the top: Let's click on Activity and see what that's all about.
I've used @denniskonstantin's page for this one. Another artist I highly recommend. You can see everything he's been up to, as well as all the action his posts are getting. You can even check different boxes to filter this information. Looks like he gets a lot of curation rewards for being an active upvoter. Sounds like a good friend to have. Alright let's check out my feed, and see what my people are doing. Click on the busybeta icon and here we go!
Oh here's another golden nugget from @twirble. We're definitely gonna give this an upvote. Cool, we get to decide exactly how much of our precious voting power we're going to use! Since I'm still a little plankton with a tiny vote, I'm going to view a well off steemian for a little gleam of hope. Let's check out @dragonslayer109.
Here we get to see how much he has, and where it's coming from and going. But the coolest thing about the Busy wallet is that the current market value for SBD and steem is hugely displayed for you, along with their value in bitcoin. If you click on the arrow next to them, you'll also get to see a growth chart that will help you determine what direction the value is moving towards. Moving on.
Here's an impressive B&W shot done by @royalmacro, posted through busy.org. Here we get to see who has upvoted it, and exactly how much each vote is worth. What's that I see? An upvote from @busy.org? How did they get that? Simply posting through busy.org, and using "busy" as one of their tags. The only catch is that in order to get the free busy vote (est. .20-.40) you must have a follower base that holds at least 10,000 SP. This number may change over time in flux with supply and demand. So you've probably noticed that big number in blue next to my profile pic and have been wondering why I haven't clicked it yet. So let's do that.
Woah I have notifications! That's useful. Alright I must really get to writing this post now.
Look, a nifty little toolbar! How fun. I'm just gonna make sure one of my tags/topics is "busy", and I'm on my way to that free upvote! And for those of us that don't like losing everything that we've worked for, Busy saves everything you write as a draft, so you never have to worry about losing your work. Even when your computer dies because you fell asleep in your clothes again and left all the lights on.
