RE: Estrategia de Curación para Nuevos Usuarios

English Translation (Google Translate):

During this week I was voting like crazy. Of course I did it automatically via streemian using their fanbase service. The reason for this was to analyze what is the best strategy for me, as a new user of this network to earn more money for healing. The result was simply disappointing.

For those who are new like me, you must understand that in this network money is earned by the votes you receive in your publications and by the votes you give to the publications. If you are the author of the publication that has received the votes, and therefore is generating the money, after 7 days say that you are paid said payment. But you only get 75% of what the publication has generated, because the remaining 25% is given to the curators. The curators are all the users who voted for that publication. This week I decided to study how it could be done to make more money from this healing.

According to all I read in the publications of users who have much more time and experience than I in this network, the distribution of healing earnings are not easy to understand. Apparently there are a number of equations that determine healing and it is quite complicated to establish exactly how much exactly you are going to win each time you cast a vote. These equations, in principle you can find them in the programs that control this platafomra and that they are publicly published in Steem Git. I have spent many hours analyzing that code and it is still not clear how it is calculated what corresponds to each user once it issues the vote. There are too many variables such as the steem power of the user, the moment he votes after the publication has been made, and obviously how many users vote. But the interesting thing is that order is also important.

So, after much analysis I will try to present my conclusions as clearly as possible. For which we have to be very clear what healing means. As I understand it, the idea of healing is that users find publications that are very good but that nobody pays much attention. So, in theory the equations and distribution rules are designed to pay more healing money to users who vote for content that almost nobody has voted for. So, first rule is to look for publications that no one has voted for.

But, you can not start voting for publications that have barely appeared online. Because it turns out that the vote is a percentage of the cure depending on the time of voting. For example, if you vote during the first few seconds or minutes after it has been published, you will not receive absolutely any healing gains even if the publication makes a lot of money. It turns out that during the first 30 minutes of the publication, users who vote for it only have a percentage of the cure, depending on the time. As I read, that percentage is linear until 30 minutes, after that initial time, if you are entitled to 100% of the cure. So if you vote within 15 minutes of the author's publication, you only have 50% of what you would earn as a curator, and the rest is from the author who publishes. If you vote at 20 minutes, 66% is for you and the rest for the author. If you vote after 30 minutes, as I mentioned 100% of the cure is yours, and nothing for the author.

Therefore, the author can receive a percentage greater than 75% because if people vote before 30 minutes of publication, the author is left with a percentage of the cure of that user who votes. I understand that this is done in this way to prevent bots, which is really my interest in all this analysis, do not stay with the healing of all publications. That 30-minute window gives humans time to find out if that publication exists and see if it's worth voting for it or not.

This is where a small battle to cast the votes begins. You should try to find a publication that is very good and you think it will make a lot of money. If you make a lot of money and you are the only one who voted for it, you would have 25% of what the publication won. But we know that is not possible, because for a publication to earn a lot of money, many users have to vote, and in addition those users have to have a lot of steem power, because if the publication earns very little. So your strategy is to find a publication that is going to get many votes, but you have to try to vote for the closest 30 minutes of that publication. Ideally, you should vote fairly within 30 minutes and be the first to vote. Why? Because it turns out that there is something that I have not mentioned and it is the fact that the percentage that is assigned to each healer depends on the position in which he votes. If you are the first to vote, you have a percentage
