Excellent information! Thank you for posting this, probixranker.
I have a quick question: what is it that moves a score up from, say the start @ 25 to 30 or 35? Is it derived by X number of comments or Y number of upvotes from others, or Z number of upvotes by the person?
I co-authored a book on Klout Score a few years ago and we studied the detail of how Klout determined the score. It was with a very large algorithm and lots of serious number crunching done by fancy computers. Is that how Steemit determines and thus raises or lowers one's Reputation Score?
Thank you for sharing this. I love you material. Please continue!
Well yes you are right, the technical answer would get to involved to answer here, besides I don't understand the entire formula myself.
But to answer the first part of your question, each number you rise; example: 25 to 26, according to Steemit is by a factor of 10. Just like the earthquake Richter scale, 26 is ten times greater than 25.
The most important point new people should know is the way you get it to rise is by commenting, posting and getting the up votes. Up votes is the biggest part of the equasion.
Thank you. That is very helpful. It really is much like Klout. In doing the research for the book and the interviews with Klout executives in their offices and online, I see a lot of parallels in the two systems.
I really appreciate your input and help on this for this hungry-learner in the world of Steemit.
