<p>Thanks for your response. </p><p>The rewards algorithm is more complicated than just how a person wants their rewards. Previously, Steem's internal systems always assumed that the price of SBD was at $1.00 because it's supposed to be a stable coin, and therefore always at $1.00... or at least $1.00 of Steem. So whenever the price of SBD was lower than $1.00, you got more rewards by posting 100% powered up. And when the price of SBD went over $1, you got more rewards by posting 50/50, because even though the half that got paid in SBD was based on the price of SBD being at $1, it was actually higher. </p><p>Things have changed, so I'm just trying to find the new way to maximize rewards. Though your answer wasn't what I was looking for, I appreciate your attempt. </p>
