The current calculation of reducing the curation reward with early votes will remain, but the window for the reverse auction will be reduced to 15min.

I comprehended nothing out of this.
What is reverse auction?

So in case of your comment, let’s say you got that generous vote in the first minutes, after HF20 your reward as an author would be roughly 25% less.

Retroactively, despite that it was already voted before HF20 was adopted?

So it will have a positive effect on early self votes or people using bots to magnify their author rewards. Let’s see how it will pan out, but unfortunately it won’t fix the issues we have today with the vote bots.

I will still use bidbots, but it will make my life easier because I will not have to vote immediately.

There are already people whom vote me with pathetic votes on posts which I did not buy votes on that will earn them 0.001 SP of curation rewards at most, instead of the 0 that they get now, because I do not respect such pathetic votes.
