If you vote immediately after a post is made, then 100% of the curation reward will go to the author. If you vote after 15 minutes, then 50% will go to the author. Any votes made 30 minutes or later 100% will go to the curator.
I had no idea about this. When you day 100% goes to the author, does it mean that the curator gets nothing? Does it that the curator gets something only when he votes after 15 mins?.
This is really helpful, i tried reading the whitepaper sometime ago and i felt dumb cos i didn't understand it well. But this is clear and concise, thanks for posting this.
If someone vote at 0 minute then all their curation goes to the author if they vote at 15 minutes 50% of their curation reward will go to the author and the curator get 100% of their reward if they vote at 30 minutes. The relation is linear.
