In order to optimize my account growth as well as the contribution I make to the hive community, I am making two small changes to the way I interact with the hive blockchain:

Stop automatic voting

For quite a long time now I've been using @upvotebank to manage a large part of my curation and boost my post value. I still think it's a pretty cool service but I'd like to go back to manual voting in order to be more purposeful about which posts I vote on. After I've been voting 100% manually for a while, I might join some kind of curation trail in a limited capacity (5% of voting power per day, or so) in order to keep my account active on days that I'm away from the computer.

#xfor1 commenting

Inspired by an excellent suggestion by @moeknows, I'm committing to the #xfor1 initiative (at least x comments for every 1 post). In my case, I'll be doing 3 for 1.

Over the next few weeks, I'll see how these changes work out and maybe write a follow-up post.
