RE: Contest | 25-Word Comment - Monkey Business | SP (Steem Power)
SP is powered up Steem. If you didn't change your setting your rewards are set 50/50. 50% will be directly powered up and the othee 50?
You can look for more info about Steemit tooucs in the community ᔕᑕᗷ ᗰOᑎKEY ᗷᑌᔕIᑎEᔕᔕ
The more SP the higher your level and the higher the vote you give will be (see https://www.steemworld.org).
You can delegate SP to someone else or receive it. If you receive a delegation it isn't yours, it can be taken away and only hwlps to give higher upvotes temporary.

By "the higher level" you mean like a rank? Is that the number beside the hashtag(#) that can be seen in our profile?
What does having a higher level indicate? Other than having more SP...
It's the number behind your name. So 71 with me. The higher you are the longer it takes to level up (unless you earn a load of Steem. You won't "look good" if you help the small fish and don't grow yourself, the amount of posts doesn't matter if you are not rewarded.
Fame indeed is the answer but it's possible to gain that in a different way.
Ah, you were talking about reputation. I see. Okay, thanks for the clarifications. One last thing, aside from downvotes, does powering down also decreases your level?
That's a good question and I had to look around a bit but it looks like if a power-down doesn't affect the level. I don't see some famous Steemians drop drastically after they powered down.
I can give you some examples but I think you can find them as well since we all can see one another.
I was hacked and nearly empty, I didn't check my level but I doubt it changed. Perhaps it's why I grow so slow?
It is weird if you think about it, perhaps there's a very small chance they grow slower to the next level after a powerdown?
But who cares if you are 80 already?
@steemchiller do you have the answer to this burning question? Is once high always high or it it possible to get back at 25 if the safe is emptied?
Is there a high risk of getting hacked if I take a break from Steemit? I've read comments about people losing all their Steem after returning from a break...
I find it hard to tell. As I returned after my last break it was all there.
I was hacked while there and I still had the habit to only check my wallet once per month so I was kind of too late.
A fact is that many accounts have been hacked this year (around July) or even twice and most accounts were abandoned (not sure for how long). A part wasn't and as far as I know most from the same country.
A friend just returned after 3 years... I don't think her account been hacked. Let's ask
@cicisaja did you power down before you left or did you leave everything behind as you took your leave?
oohh Thanks for reminding me of that action @wakeupkitty.pal
I did the power down 9 days ago, after my return to steemit. I have a situation where I need to collect some cash, I have looking around on any of my blog accounts, I powered down on hive too before, and thinking about to end my journey on steemit by powered it all down.
But right after the first sum of powered down sent to to my wallet, I already completed the issue of cash immediate need, so I cancel the power down, and use some steem i already got to so cash it out and now I'm good.
I changed my mind after the first powered down, because I'd love to stay around again. I have a good safety system to protect my account from hacking. I always do my best to keep the keys only for myself.
Fame, more power, manyof them have a bigger voice if... and the high level stands for the commitment to to Steemit.
