@stellabelle I've tested it out on my last post - it doesn't actually add to the actual SBD for the post. It seems you can use it on any post and it will show up in the "Promoted" section. I would like a means that allows me to do the same with a kind of boosted vote so I can truly "vote like a whale" as you say. Right now these posts are treated as an exception (if I'm understanding correctly). It's still a great idea though. One reason to do it this way may be to prevent people from spending a huge amount on their post to get it promoted and then receiving that money back - although to be fair anyone who votes on their own post already does that anyway if they are a whale.

If the devs are smart, they will tap into the minnow and dolphins' desire to VOTE LIKE A WHALE with their own money. It's a powerful feeling to be able to instantly transfer money to a post with your own SBD. This is a no brainer actually. Burning SBD is not tapping into HUMAN DESIRES. http://i.giphy.com/TcehaGtrE5t1m.gif

How do you propose they would go about doing this? If sending SBD for promotion was just added to the payout, everyone would just pay themselves as much as they could to promote their posts, getting almost all of it back. Maybe I misunderstood your comment, but no brainers on this type of platform are usually trickier than we might expect. Cool gif by the way. Edit- Nvm, just read your discussion with dan below.

This idea has a huge hole in that a whale can then promote themselves at no cost. Minnows could vote like whales, but their boosted votes won't ever increase the visibility of the post. You might as well transfer to the author to tip them at that point. Burning Steem Dollars guarantees there is a cost, which is key to preventing abuse.

Problem here @stellabelle is the minnows do not have SBD ... hence they are minnows. Unless I am missing something...which is not to unlikely :)
