Yeah, we can definitely use better documentation and places to ask questions. These are the sorts of things that we can do in a decentralized way if we grow the community enough, but it's sort of a catch-22. In the meantime, I'm happy to answer questions like these whenever I am able.

Coincidentally, this reporting with beneficiary rewards is exactly why I calculated the total the way I did in the browser extension. Here's what the curator's overlay shows for that post:

As described above:

Total value is calculated as total_pending_payout_value + 2 ( curator_payout_value ) in order to handle values before and after payout time and to also include the post value that went to beneficiaries at payout time.
