Nice article - I've read a few of these and they seem conflicting. One question tho......
you said, "When a post has been live for 30 minutes and a curator decides to upvote it, the ENTIRE portion of that 25% goes to the curator PERIOD."
What if only 5 people curate it at 31 minutes? Surely this 25% is split between these 5 people?
What if 5 people curate it at 16 mins, and 5 more people curate it at 31 mins? Surely the 25% is split between these 10 people, with 5 getting more than the other 5?
Peace ✌
