So, I was wondering, waited long enough to see how much curation reward I get because I was excited enough about this concept, I used my votes wisely and didn't spammed the upvote button. I did my best to catch potential trending posts before any whale and I successfully voted 5 posts which were famous and hit for steemit.
But when I checked that all voters got their curation reward but I didn't even receive a half piece of dust, I confirmed with other respected members like @venuspcs and he confirmed that there is something wrong from steemit's side and he instructed me to report this bug to steem staff.
These are 5 top posts which I voted but didn't receive ANY reward:
I voted before the whales and that post made around $500 but where is my curation reward? Not even 0.001 SP????
https://steemit.com/steemit/@decha/steam-white-paper-translated-version-in-thailand-thai
I was the 4th person to vote for that thai translated version which made over $100 but no curation reward.
I voted before ANY whale and no curation reward. I was the 8th person to vote for it.

Same is the case here. I voted before whales and the post made $400+ but I didn't receive even a little piece of curation reward.
This post was a hit, but didn't gave even a dust to me. I voted before any big whale.
The proof of zero curation reward:
Please solve this issue and give me my curation reward as soon as possible. I am doing my best to contribute to steem as much as possible, and I am sure that you guys will solve this issue too.
reward = total_reward * your_weight / total_weight
If your reward is below threshold it gets ignored!
Thank you for the formula but I don't think I didn't qualify for 0.001 SP. It looks like this is a bug. I reported it in github too.
Already a lot of explanations here. It's not a bug. Please make your own calculation to check whether you qualify for 0.001 SP.
By the way please don't spam Github ticketing system.
One way I'm using to check how much reward you will earn:
check steemd.com for details by replacing "it" with "d" of an article, click advanced mode, vote details, then
reward = total_reward * 25% * your_vote_weight / total_vote_weightPower up!
You have less than 6 Steem Power.
Your vote is worth 0 so curation rewards are.
I have 2500 SP and hardly earned 1.005 SP past week
My greatest curation reward is 1.05 sp on single post
But my friend with 3 SP got the reward of 0.001 so why I am not getting even such little reward? That's my point. Little or big, I do not have any problem with that. I am just worried with the bug. Thanks for your reply.
Perhaps your friend was lucky to have voted on a post with much higher reward. A link please so we can check?
you have too little SP
Seems to be working for me when I upvoted a popular post yesterday:
Curation reward of 0.581 STEEM POWER for bitcalm/when-do-whales-upvote
But I guess you didn't have enough steem power like @smolalit said.
Well. Problem looks our low number of SP only.
I calculated with the given formula of @scifiwriter and seems like my reward didn't reached to minimum threshold of 0.001 steem due to low number of SP. I apologize if you guys look at it as spam but I was super confused, had to step-out of the home at that time and now after getting back, calculated myself and seems like the only problem is my low number of SP. No issues anymore. Thank you for all the help.
Variables:
When did you vote (Optimal 30min count)
How many votes the post already had (The less the better)
Your Vote Power at the moment of the vote (Higher > better)
Curation rewards are split between SP and SD.
Amount of SP
I hope this helps...
I also have the same problem.
Nope. It seems you are receiving curation rewards normally. :)
I'm interested in the answer here because my curation rewards all seem pretty random and I'd like to understand how exactly they are calculated.
It's not an issue, your Steem Power is not high enough to break 0.001 SP even if you voted before the whales.
You can visit your SteemStats page here - https://steemstats.com/#/@steemist
And click on the Vote Inspector to find out exactly what your share was. I'd suggest about 100 SP to start earning curation rewards regularly.

It does raise a good point. Why not allow curation awards of .0001? It would make new Minnows feel better about voting.
0.001 is the smallest positive value of Steem (1 satoshi), there is no way to power up less than 0.001 Steem.
Good answer I didn't realize it was built into the coin code
even if you are very early in voting, you can get close to zero curation if you have a low voting power. especially when whales vote, as by the formula of curation rewards your reward reduces with the total voting power that the post attracted. yes its harsh..
