RE: Announcing Project Curie: Bringing Rewards and Recognition to Steemit’s Undiscovered and Emerging Authors

in #steemit8 years ago

I think it's the opposite. The rewards are split 75% author 25% curator. But if the curator votes within the first 30 minutes, some of their curation award goes to the author as well. So early voting helps the author. Late voting helps the curator. In order to maximise awards to himself, the curator wants to vote as close to the 30 min mark but before a whale does. If a whale votes first, then the whale gets most of the curator awards.

Sort:  

Ok, that could be correct... but what were they talking about pertaining to bot voting then and how it affects rewards?
