This post is outdated as the rules for curation rewards have changed. For example, it says the curator gets 100% of curation rewards after 30 minutes, which is isn't true. The author gets a minimum of 75% of the curation reward for their post.
"Of the 25% that goes to the curator, that portion will be split between the author and the curator if the curator votes within the first 30 minutes. The split of the 25% between the author and curator during the first 30 minutes is calculated linearly based on the time the vote is cast.
If a post is upvoted the moment of posting, 100% of the curation reward goes to the author.
At 3 minutes, 90% goes to the author and 10% to the curator.
At 15 minutes it's a 50/50 split.
At 27 minutes, 10% goes to the author and 90% to the curator.
If a post is upvoted 30 min after posting, 100% of the curation reward goes to the curator. "
While the largest guaranteed portion of the payout can be had if you wait 30 minutes, you must make the decision whether it's worth it to wait that long to vote. Voting earlier may be beneficial in cases where doing so increases the overall payout of the post.
Great. Thanks for updating me.
Thanks for the update. I am a newbie. Will you please let me know how much I can contribute trough voting with this wallet? Thanks in advance.
