After checking out Hive Blocks I found that your first upvote to/from a #vyb or #verifyyourbrain post was this one: https://hiveblocks.com/vyb/@joseph23/re-vybvyb-20211219t72455601z
It does say in your wallet that you received VYB for this (it is instantly staked remember!).
Interesting. I can't see it in my wallet using Hive engine. Could there be any other way to see it and perhaps stake it. Am not yet conversant with the Hive explorers and the likes. Started being active two months ago.
It's already staked, that's the "catch" with VYB. All rewards are insta-staked and you have to initiate a powerdown to receive liquid VYB (more information will be following on the @vyb.vyb account about the power-down and how it will affect rewards earned from the VYB Curation Project).
Awesome. Am comfortable now, knowing that it is staked. Thanks Buddy.
