Well,
This math is actually more complicated. Because you only use 2% OF YOUR REMAINING voting power, you actually aren't leaving anything in the voting pool. If you vote only 10 times a day, every day, even if you start at 1% voting power, you will eventually return to 100% voting power.
This is a common misunderstanding of VP recovery/use stats.
But, considering the dust problem, yes, if your 50% votes are below the threshold, don't bother.
Here's the article I wrote. https://steemit.com/steemit/@improv/math-and-steemit-voting-power
Fine now it's something else I will have to play with...lol. I can't find a flaw in your post, but need to research it for myself to verify. Don't take offense to that, I can't help but to dive into something like this.
If this is correct then it kind of changes my thoughts on getting to the computer multiple times during the day to maximize my votes.
Please do! I feel extravagantly confident because all the disagreements have come from folks who FEEL like its wrong, but can give me neither math proofs nor experimental evidence that it is. It isn't. Man, I cannot get off my high horse!
But, since this whole dust thing is a little detail I hadn't seen before, I submit that my math could be based on a false premise of some detail in the whole shebang that I just don't know. Experimentation is a fun way to get at math proofs! If you do find it's wrong, we should both do some digging to figure out WHY.
Theories need to be proven in my mind. Guess that is why math always was so simple to me. The idea of proving something that other have already proven drives most people crazy. To me it only makes sense to verify the findings.
I will have to start playing with this week. Will let you know what I find.
BTW, if you on discord send me a message there. Same name as here #6765
