Thanks @Tiger-Zaps !
So if I Upvote someone else at 7.5 minutes, then I'll get 12.5% (50% of the 25% curation) and 12.5% will be burned (i.e. instead of going to the author like in HF19)?
of course... assuming there were no other votes before me, and no beneficiaries etc. etc.
P.S. One last one, if you don't mind please: What if I upvote myself? Does the same apply, or is everything before 15 min on a self-vote being burned?
Yes, assuming no other votes you would get 12.5% and 12.5% would return to the reward pool.
It's exactly the same if you upvote yourself, 12.5% and 12.5%. A level playing field between authors and curators. Except you get the 75% of your own vote too of course as author reward!
