RE: IM ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT STEEMIT AND THE PLATFORM. Feel free to ask anything in the comment section below!
How do curation awards work? Sometimes I will earn sdb from other peoples comments off of my original comment and sometime I don't. Why is this ?
Up to 25% of a post's payout is awarded to curators (the people who upvoted the post) as a reward for discovering the content. The other 75% is awarded to the author. If curators vote for a post within the first 30 minutes of it being created, a portion of their curation reward is added to the author payout. This portion is linear to the age of the post between 0 and 30 minutes. Therefore upvoting at 15 minutes old will donate half of your potential curation reward to the author. -FAQ’s
Thanks, I guess Ill have to constantly be watching steemnow with my finger on the trigger
Am I reading this wrong.. Does that not mean that if you upvote too early then you are likely to decrease the curation reward that you may potentially get? @brandonscalera
Nope, not at all. You can upvote yourself without it effecting the post or payment.
