I have been working on some changes on my websites [steemnow.com](https://www.steemnow.com) and [SteemBlockExplorer.com](https://steemblockexplorer.com) today.

Both sites are now fully adapted to HF21 :-)

### Changes:

- One of the new features in HF21 is a separate downvote pool. Besides your voting power (now for upvotes only) you can now keep an eye on your downvote power as well. Use your downvote power wisely. It goes down 4 times as fast as your ordinary voting power, but takes the same time to regenerate.

- The 100% vote value which is shown on both sites now shows the vote value as if you were the only one upvoting a post.  Your vote value is not static anymore in HF21, but is higher if more people vote on a post before or after you.
Keep in mind that a 20% is not simply worth one fifth of your 100% vote. Since HF21 a 20% vote adds less *rshares* to a post than one fifth of a 100% vote. For example, my 100% vote is worth $1.50, but when I give someone a 20% vote my vote would be worth  $0.24 (assuming I am the only one voting). On [steemnow.com]((https://www.steemnow.com)) you can use the slider to see what each percentage of your vote is worth.

- The [upvote calculator](https://www.steemnow.com/upvotecalc.html) on Steemnow.com works the same way. It calculates the value of an upvote, assuming a post has received only that single vote. The actual value would probably be higher. Try it yourself by entering a couple of different Steem Power values. You will notice the difference between the previous reward curve and the new one. If you multiply the amount of SP by 10 for example you will see that the vote value increases a lot more.
