holy SMOKES.
thank goodness. $140,000 on one post is just ridiculous. $1250 to an author of a single post - that's still a pretty damn good payout. thank goodness the system does work to balance out those kind of disparities...
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
oops, i accidentally downvoted your post. if i reset my curation, what happens?
Nothing. There's no monetary value on that comment.
Well there's $2 mio during this bootstrapping phase, so I'm guessing the first post ever could have made $2 mio. As more post were made and upvoted that # decreased. So at the beginning every post had very large balances and it's being diluted down until 7/4. That (and the market cap changing) is why you see your post rewards dropping (unless more upvotes come or STEEM price increases) each day
The first post didn't quite have access to the full $2 million because the rewards are continuing to be added to the fund all along. It did have access to the entire reward fund from the time the blockchain started until the time the first post was made, which was probably about $140K at the time.
