Your solo upvote is 100% completely worthless. There is a .02 payout threshold. When you vote on blog posts your vote counts if the blog gets to over .020.
I was going to try and save this upvote but I would lose money doing it so I am going to let it go to zero.

Well, I am undelegating this morning, see if I can get up to .02. Of course, a tiny drop in steem value and I am back to worthless. What a mess. That means the ONE bot that I have had support from as part of the ssg community will be going away, and the curation trail of that group, so yeah... as the saying goes: "Poke me with a fork, I am done."

There's a chance our vote values might go back up in a week or two but autovoting is now the way to go. You lose out on curation if you solo upvote even if the vote values go up in a week or two.
FYI Booster is paying out pretty good right now if you don't want to autovote.

Thanks. Rather discouraging. I have always upvoted anyone who commented (unless it was obvious spam.) I guess that is a waste of votes now.

Yeah I wasted hundreds if not a 1,000 or more upvotes when I started Steemit before I learned about the dust threshold.

I don't use the booster bot so I should be OK. I just make money off of it. If the war heats up and the money goes down I can undelegate.

I'd just keep an eye on it, funny how they went after this particular bot program, you know it wasn't the only one doing it....might be something else brewing underneath it all.

I am UN-delegating. I need all my steem power to try to get an upvote that will actually pay out. 2 friggin' years here, and my upvote is dust. It is bad enough that I do not make spit on my posts, but not even having enough to give a vote is beyond aggravating. I have never powered down, I kept it all "reinvested." I never spammed, my posts are nearly 100% my original content... I have decided I am a new kind of fish around here. You have your fry and your minnows and your dolphins and your whales... I am a remora now, trying to catch a few crumbs by sucking on the whales LOL!

Right now you need about 2500 Steem Power or more to be able to solo upvote and have it count. You could try Palnet is you really want to be able to solo upvote.

The last post I posted got one cent from fourteen votes...that's pretty bad that fourteen votes get you one cent. When I post her stuff it usually gets two, three cents but I don't post them for that as much as I enjoy her stuff, she's worth the read and the promotion by adding her to the blockchain when she is to ill to operate a third site.
