Time issues is a definitely a problem when seen through a logical perspective.
To me the decision seems a little bit odd. In fact it actually seems to be at odds with the immutability of the block chain. We already know that content is going to be there for the digital eternity so why limit it's earning even before the the potential earnings have even reached their peak.
I don't know enough about it but when it was 30 days, it didn't really change much since there was most activity in the first few hours, maybe a day or two later. There used to also be a flexible payout period where additional votes would extend the payout a little. Seems so long ago...
But if someone enjoys your old posts they will usually vote on the new stuff. And if we have lots of material we can create a book from it. Take all the articles. Polish it up a bit. And bam a book is there. Lifetime earnings.
Man I think the bots would catch up to us for spamming if we repost - even our own material. Flags, even from bots are a pretty good deterrent.
No. You can just have a website.
publishers aren't too keen on publishing books that have already been put out there. there is room for some of it but, not too much room.
We live in the age of remix. We only have to put some personal touch and add some extra value and a book is there ;) We are the publisher since we can release a digital copy!
Be careful of this. Kindle and the other book stores will ban you if they find you are charging their customers for writing you give away free elsewhere. When I was still publishing new material I think the rule was 10% could be elsewhere for free.
What are you talking about? You went completely off topic
I was referring to your suggestion to take our posts and self publish them. Not sure why it seemed off topic, but hope that shed some more clarity.
