This post will give you detailed informations about investing to @tipU service, the income that comes from profit sharing and how you can customize your payouts.
Profitability
We'll start with the most important thing :)
@tipU pays to investors 100% of profit that comes from vote buyers plus 60% of curation rewards that comes in form of weekly power downs (STEEM POWER -> liquid STEEM). This allows @tipU to be at the top in terms of profitability among all steem services.
Best way to check out @tipU profitability is to go to http://steemprofit.info. This website will give you general idea about @tipU payouts as well as how it compares to other steem services:
You can also check @tipU profitability for a specified amount of STEEM POWER delegated - this can help you with making the decision before making the actual delegation. To do this, simply make a comment with: @tipu profit for 1000 SP. You can also specify any other amount of SP delegated. Check out this example below:
Making STEEM POWER Delegation
Making STEEM POWER delegation to @tipU allows you to have share in @tipU profits - there are no further steps required to receive the payouts.
If you don't know how to make the delegation, you can request the delegation link from tipU. To do this, simply make a comment with: delegate 100 SP to @tipu and @tipU will respond with a delegation link within seconds:
Of course instead of 100, you can specify any other value of SP - from 0.001 to as much as you like (and have :)
Please note that you can also use this feature to make a delegation link to any other steem user/service. Just replace @tipu with any other steem user name.
Payouts are done every 24 hours if your profit is at least 0.001 SBD or 0.001 STEEM. Your profit balance is increased every time a vote requester sends a payment. In can by increased by, for example, 0.0000004 SBD. Once those increases sums up to 0.001 - the payout can be done.
Customizing Payouts
One of the coolest @tipU features for investors is that you can customize your payout. You do this by sending 0.001 SBD or 0.001 STEEM to @tipU with one of the commands listed below.
Auto Reinvest
This option allows you to automatically reinvest selected part of your payout in order to further increase your share in the profits. Now, if you know what a compound interest is, you probably understand why this feature is really sweet, especially for long term investments. I'm especially proud of this one :)
Example: let's say that your 2000 SP delegation to @tipU gives you 0.5 SBD and 0.5 STEEM payout every day. If you choose to reinvest 100% of your payout, every day your delegation will be increased by around 1.1 STEEM (0.5 STEEM + 0.5 SBD in STEEM value in current market prices). So after 10 days additional 11 STEEM POWER will be added to your delegation, giving a total of 2011 SP delegated. Of course with each new day your delegation will grow further.
On top of that - you can withdraw your auto-reinvested part at any time without any fees. The auto-reinvested part is added to your deposit so you can just receive it back. To do this simply send 0.001 SBD/STEEM to @tipU with memo: withdraw
To set your percentage of auto-reinvested part, send 0.001 SBD/STEEM to @tipU with memo:
- reinvest X - where X is the value between 0 and 100
Examples:
- reinvest 53 - 53% of your payout will be auto-reinvested
- reinvest 100 - your whole profit will be reinvested (you will still receive 0.001 SBD daily with updates status of your investment)
- reinvest 0 - reinvest disabled
Pay In SBD, Pay In STEEM, Pay In All
Vote buyers send to @tipU both SBD and STEEM - 100% of those are distributed among all investors.
You can choose in which currency(s) you want to receive the payouts. To do this, send 0.001 SBD/STEEM to @tipU with one of the following memos:
- pay in sbd - your whole payout will be paid in SBD
- pay in steem - your whole payout will be paid in STEEM
- pay in all - your payout will be paid in both SBD and STEEM
If you choose to receive payouts in one currency, the other currency part will be traded before the payout to the one of your choosing at current market prices. All data will be provided in the payout memo.
Pay Every X Hours
By default the payouts are done every 24 hours. You can change this value to any between 1 (hour) and 72 hours (3 days). To this use the following memo:
- pay every X hours - where X is the amount of hours
This will tell @tipU to check your profit balance every X hours and if the profit is at least 0.001 SBD/STEEM, the payout will be made.
Examples:
- pay every 1 hour - @tipU will send you payout every hour
- pay every 8 hours - @tipU will send you payout every 8 hours, and so on
