I have been asking a ton of questions on discord and have more still.
-the difference betweeen steem and sbd
-i tried to send sbd and steem to other accounts last night and was told i wasn't above the minimum amount, but i was above the minimum amount listed
-as of now I don't have any curation rewards, but i have been upvoting a lot and trying to be strrategic about it. Overall curation is confusing.
-delegation is confusing as hell. I don't understand how delegating would help me, or if it's like placing your bet on someone else to pick your stocks?
-how does steem link up with dtube? I don't know know if i use the same steem id or if i need a whole new account
-reporting and how to get rewarded by steemcleaners, like when to flag and when not to flag spam and sposts.
feature request: I want to be able to list my own selection of keywords on the left of my screen, not have generic ones.
I hope this helps, this is a lot more confusing than what it took to learn, say reddoot or forkbook.
which accounts were you trying to send steem/sbd to and for what purpose? Those things make a difference as to how to answer that question.
Curation is confusing, I fully agree. I don't have all of the information to fully answer the technical parts of this question, but I think I can help a little. Curation rewards are granted to the people who upvote a post, and the amount they receive is based on several different factors (that is the technical part I don't have 100% of the answer for). But as I understand it, it is based on the age of the post when you upvote it and how much Steempower you upvote the post with. At the most, curation rewards are 25% of post payout, and your curation reward would be based off of how much reward your vote gave to the post. If your voting weight is so low that you do not add any value to the post with your vote, you will probably not see a lot of curation rewards. When you start to accumulate more Steempower, you will see more curation rewards from the posts you upvote.
I would absolutely love to see a "Customizable Topics List". Fantastic suggestion!
i learned some things! turns out you have to send at least 1, so .5 throws a rather undescriptive/misleading error that could be fixed! But then I had success and it is cool.
i still haven't gotten any curation and i've been trying to have this upvoting strategy, every day, my favorite stuff, people I like. entering contests oh well. things take time. we all kindof have that feeling we wish we could move steemit faster probably but nothing great can be done overnight.
so now we have 2 new features to promote. but where?
Hey there @mindhawk.
Your query about curation rewards is one that many new Steemians have.
I do have some good news, though. It looks like you have been earning some small curation rewards along the way! You can check on your curation rewards by visiting SteemNow and looking at the section about curation rewards.
The unfortunate part is that since your STEEM power is low, it will be a while before you notice significant curation rewards. Curation rewards depend on the STEEM power of the accounts which vote on a post. Therefore, you should continue what you're doing and focus on growing your account, networking with others, and building up some followers. As your account grows and you continue to vote, the curation rewards will follow!
I hope this helps.
