I know the feeling as it's what i am going through just now.@lukebrn

I do find that commenting on other posts is most likely the best source of SBD for newcomers, other than as you say spamming or begging for help.

What i find not difficult per-se but perhaps more of a challenge and if you can shed some light onto it but as far as trying to maintain voting power particularly as a newcomer where you often have to vote 100% so the poster can take benefit of your $0.01.

Do you have any strategies on how to balance this all out other than stepping away for several hours to give it a chance to regain strength?
