Hi! I've been following these for a while now and would like to participate!!
However, do you think this contest (and the whole curation system) promotes voting for whales? I feel this is very counter-intuitive for adoption as we need upvotes for minnows for them to retain interest in this platform...
I think the only way to change this is blockchain level changes, what do you guys think?
I can confidently state it is the opposite.
The best curation rewards are gained by curating low valued posts which may only need to reach 5-10$. If you are there at 0.20$ and the post reaches 50x this value, you will get a decent reward.
If you join in on a post at $10 which goes to $200, you will receive a much smaller reward.
I'm sure others could support this with their findings.
I've added you in, cheers!
I see! So it's percentage gain, not flat value gain that matters?
If that's so then couldn't people just camp the wallets of promo bots and upvote everything that has a large upvote incoming?
Yep, % gain it is.
And yep, that is a successful approach to take if you wish to upvote kak and win 1 STEEM for it :D :D
Nice! I'm probably not going to try purposely win anything, but it's nice to see some of my stats if I get into top 20%! Plus, may as well have a chance of winning something if I'm just doing what I'm normally doing anyway!
Thanks for your hard work, keep it up!
The stats are worth the entry fee aren't they? :D :D
Will do, cheers!
@abh12345 .... kak? Are you from SA?
Why is there a lot of kak in SA? :D
I'm english, we like to use a bit of kak from time to time!
:) Kak is an Afrikaans word meaning crap ... are you taking the mickey? Or does kak mean something else here? I'm gullible aren't I?
It means kak in England/English too :D
No offense meant!
I tried to do some curation this way last week to boost my league standings, and I got bored after 10 minutes without finding anything I could convince myself to upvote.
hehe :D :D
