Thanks @williamsyee... That's a great question. First you can set up the time that your vote gets casts. Some do it right away at 0 minute wait... While others do it at the 30 minute mark where none of the curation trail goes to the author. Others will go in between. I frankly haven't figured out the best time myself so when I using this trailing service I just go 0 minutes and hope that the @newbieresteemday curators do the best to maximize the values of the votes. Remember they are also voting on behalf of @newbieresteemday so they want the highest curation trail for the cause too... Everything that comes into that account will be used to make it bigger (more SP).
So its up to you whether you put a lag in it or not... remember the vote we are casting is manual and then the trail follows our vote (so hopefully we pick the right time based on the circumstances for all).
And as far as the whale vote, I don't think you need to worry about that yet... so far the only big votes come "after" we vote because they maybe saw one of our people resteem it. But there are no whales yet in our curation trail. And my guess is the whales out there would probably rather have us get the trail because they aren't really voting for the curation trail themselves, they are really voting to "endorse" a particular post or way of doing something. Just my opinion!
Thank you for your detail clarification! I appreciate it. I think the time to cast vote will be based on curation trail? From example I set 10min, should it be I vote 10min later after newbieresteemday vote? And if 0 min will be immediately vote after newbieresteemday vote?
The reason I have this concern as I notice some curation trail have whale in it and I don't think newbie able to gain any benefits on it, unless newbie just want to help out upvote but don't want SBD in return. I might be wrong tho just my opinion.
yes you have it right... it is after the vote from @newbieresteemday . So if you have it at 0 it is right when the @newbieresteemday votes... and 10 min would be a 10 minute lag.
You can tell that we don't have any whales by our total upvote... it is roughly 0.15 including @newbieresteemday... so I'm quite confident that no whales are trailing us yet ;)
But you do have the concept and right thinking... but in our case we are small so its not an issue!
