Great job organizing this content into a comprehensive guide. Very useful!
The steemstats.com doesn't seem to show anything yet for the 4 week payment. All the weights for posts after the initial payout are 0. Is there a reason for this? Do you know if it is something they are planning to update?
Like I mentioned in the post, there's no Curation Rewards for the extended 4 week period. All curation rewards are handed out in the initial 12 hour+ period.
Ok, that makes sense. So the "Vote Distribution" section is showing the curation rewards? I have been thinking it was how the votes/weights contributed to the payout amount. I assume they are similar/related, but not exactly the same thing.
Yes, it's the Vote Distribution section. And yes, the percent of Weight contributes to your curation reward. The calculation is pretty accurate too. To find out your curation reward, you can use this formula -
(Weight percent / 100) * 0.25 * Total SBD generated by the post.
Cool, thanks!
