Hey, sorry you have been having a hard time getting curation rewards. I'm not sure if things have changed but the best time to vote is around 30 minutes, if you vote earlier the author gets most of your curation rewards, this is not well published and not many people know. This mechanism is meant to discourage bots, but imo is very stupid because you can just program a delay into the bot anyway.
Also vote for us @bravenewcoin we post at least once every single day, seven days a week. Our posts always get fair $$ value, we probably average around 300 SBD but we do get high ones over 1000 SBD and the occasional low ones, but I am promoting the @bravenewcoin blog more to avoid low ball posts.
You will always make money by curating on our posts.
Happy Steemin'
