RE: When do whales upvote relative to publication time?
I think I missed the memo on the timing of a vote...I thought early voting was the key to curation rewards. This is saying you need to wait 15 minutes to avoid a vote "penalty." Would this have something to do with the 5 vote limit for users above 300 SP? Help. :0)
The penalty is at 30 minutes. It was added because the bot @wang (I think) gamed the system and was upvoting as soon as posts were published. Keep in mind that those who vote sooner are rewarded more than those who vote later. It's a reverse auction. Yes, it's also complicated.
So I guess the question is, WHEN should I vote? Can you point out a good source of info. on the subject, for a minnow? I guess it depends on the article, whether it's new or hot....but I thought I had this figured out. Now....not so much.
