RE: If you are a Minnow, stop voting Non ZERO Value Posts. Vote 0 Value posts in the range 25 - 35 Minutes

in #square7 years ago

developers decided to go forward with changing all content rewards to a linear reward curve.

Content Rewards is one concept, Rewards Curation, another. They are not the same. Voting Power is linearly with respect to Steem stake. Curating rewards run under Square Root Calculation as per https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@yabapmatt/curation-reward-estimation-tool

Sort:  

Okay, yes. I stand corrected. I was aware that there was some method that shifts some of the curation reward from later upvoters to early upvoters, but I did not recall the formula. I guess I thought it was more gradual than this.

The 25% is still there, but then it's factored and if there's a lot before it then it can diminish by quite a bit. Much better to be the only voter at 30 minutes (for a sure 25%), with some chance of later votes than to be a minnow voter piling on after the whales arrive.
