hmmmmm.... derp.
"Delegation follows the same rules but is based on your current mana. If you have 10,000 steem power and you want to delegate 10,000 steem power you would need to be 100% mana. If you have 80% mana, you can only delegate 8,000 steem power. This is to prevent draining the VP on an account and then delegating it. Although the 7 day cooldown was always in place for preventing that over long term."

yeah... just before now I went and upvoted my power down to 20% because I wasn't going to be using my SP for a while. Seems you can't do that with the new hard fork. do i really have to wait 97 hours until my voting power is back up to 100%?? Weird!!! Sorry. Then i will start the delegation in a few days. Okay?
