As an aside... I'm sure I read something yesterday that said for the curation rewards to jump in, you should wait a few hours before upvoting comments on your post. Is that correct?

After 30 minutes the split becomes 75% for the poster, 25% for the upvoter.
At this point, your upvote isnt worth anything so I wouldnt worry about it too much.
I would suggest start to comment as much as you can....start earning yourself a bit here and there from the upvotes on your comments and try to develop a following. As your account grows, then you can worry about that other stuff.
If you don't mind me asking... what is the split prior to 30 minutes?
Thanks... I do think I comment quite a bit, but I guess until people take your advice and start upvoting comments then it hasn't really made much difference. Don't get me wrong, I'm honestly here to make friends... I had been lamenting the fall of Blogger for years before I found this place. I'm just trying to get my head around it all.

It's complicated. Curation rewards being early on upvoting, but later in time. Its to try to discourage people from trying to be first on a whalepost that will obviously get upvotes while making it so can't turn around and just jump on the bandwagon.
You're best bet is if you read/view content you like, upvote it. If you are early, more of "your" share goes to the content creator. If you are late, more of "your" share goes to the content creator. Then every now and then you'll find a post that didnt get early love but goes onto get some. Then you will get your full reward, as you actually helped curate.
tl;dr Its not worth gaming. Upvote what you like.
Thank you. This is extremely helpful. I can't really be bothered gaming the system... I just want to give credit where credit is due, and I'd prefer to not have to time it. The advice I've gotten from this whole post and conversation is :
1.) Upvote the quality comments people leave on your blog.
2.) Don't worry about the timing of it.
3.) Be rad.
That works for me.
