Maximum Virtual Bandwidth (MVP): | 2.2868686653808968e+18 |
Total Vesting Shares (TVS): | 372442029473.9579 |
MVP and TVS are 2 system required values to get our account's bandwith

What means bandwidth in Steem? :
Let’s view a blockchain like an Internet Service Provider (ISP) co-op which owns all of the cables in the town and has a maximum amount of bandwidth that it can provide at any time. People living in the town can buy shares in the ISP and in exchange they are entitled to utilize a portion of the available bandwidth.
Why is it getting important?
Every time we post we spend bandwith, we need to keep it above a dynamic level to be able to post , if we spend too much we wont be able to post for a while

You wont be able to post , vote or even Power UP your account , until you get more Steem Power or your bandw rate decreases
The formula uses also 2 more Account parameters :
- Account Vesting Shares (AVS)
- Account Average Bandwith (AAB)
which formula is this:
AAB/MVP < AVS/TVS
which is also :
AVS/TVS- AAB/MVP >0
You can calculate account's bandwith state , by replying this post and writing :account_name
Please watch gif below to see how it works

This calculator is still in beta , it will work only in the last post from me , so if this one gets older will not work!
