don't worry I knew what I was sending :) I barely take any sbd/steem off the platform - I traded a bit for bitcoin a while back just to test how the transaction went and how to use my wallet or whatever .. ended up slowly spending it at this local pizza joint that accepts bitcoin. I was shocked at the fees though.
I look at this like a long term investment and/or a fun experiment - I got the steem basically for free - and well doing what I was doing for free before so I'm not holding too tightly on my profits here - if it was something I could cash out quick and help pay my rent or something well I might think differently but where it's all about the HODL and since I got a generous delegation to lift me up to slider status I've been trying to pay it forward a bit.
I love the Deadpost - I try to catch it each time and I find so many great Steemians to read and follow through it - people deserve to be compensated for those jewels! The 7 day payout made sense to those who made it, I guess, and I guess it makes sense when you look at the overall workings of the platform but it's a shame to see so many quality posts go unnoticed.
I saw the last post about having to cut down the payout and I thought, what the hell? if I send 8 over at least even if the post makes 3 or 4 then you will surpass the 10 mark. I'd hate to see the Deadpost Initiative die out and I know most people who are putting up entries are already frustrated with the lack of payout so you really do need to have a chunk to donate to the winners - it's fair and right in my eyes - so I'm more than happy to help out! Karma doesn't check wallet balances and bank statements ;-)
