Keep in mind, all this math is from last night’s prices ($1.35 STEEM & $1.11 SBD)

My author rewards at the Default Payout method were 10.401 SP, 5.539 STEEM, and 4.806 SBD in the last 7 days.

10.401 sp x $1.35 = $14.04
5.539 steem x $1.35 = $7.47
4.806 sbd x $1.11 = $5.33
Total from default: $26.84

And 100% powerup payout would have paid out, if my math is correct:

20.802 sp x $1.35 = $28.08

It is now more profitable for short-term and long-term gains to power up your posts and comments instead of receiving the default 50% Payout method.

The Blockchain is stressed out by a surplus of Steem Dollars, which is why the 50/50 Payout method is still giving you SP, STEEM, and SBDs. I’m going all SP for a bit!
