Guess what reputation I just hit...
Each further step is taking weeks now. That's inevitable or we'd soon all be off the scale. I've just been waiting a while for it to tick over. I may hit 600 followers soon and I'm in the top 20 for post count. Those two figures may be related as I believe activity drives engagement.
I also have many Vests. Not sure this is the best way to show rewards as it's not a term used elsewhere.
Mine cryptocurrency in the cloud at Eobot, including Steem. You can earn as you chat using WowApp. If you use these links I get a small reward. You can recruit others to do the same.
