RE: An Important P.S.A. For Steemians by @thedamus

Also, what’s going on with@uradick? He has posted once but claimed mega rewards! How the fuck does one claim rewards when there is zero activity on account?

Something’s rotten in the state of Denmark!

Sort:  

If you wait a half hour or so after someone posts something, then vote on it, you will get 25% of their vote as curation rewards. That means it's possible to make money just upvoting other people's stuff. When I say you, I mean all upvoters. If there's a lot of upvoters, you have to share the curation rewards with all of them. Posts with high rewards and few upvotes will yield the highest curation rewards.

I think this may be one reason why everyone has their panties in a twist over 6th day voting bots. If you upvote just in time for payout without giving others time to curate, you get all the curation rewards.

I don't think that people get you can still deny others curation rewards on a post you just created. For example, if you time your voting such that the vote happens immediately after you post, you also get all the rewards. I think the window is about 3 minutes.

Scenario

  1. Bob submits bidding on a post that doesn't exist.
  2. Bob watches http://steembottracker.com and waits for the voting bot to enter its voting phase
  3. Bob submits his post
  4. Within minutes the bot updates Bob's post
  5. Bob gets all the curation rewards.

I'm not saying anyone should do this. I have been experimenting with voting bots, but I haven't tried this yet to see if it works. I probably will try it at some point just to find out. That way I can speak on it definitively.

If my theory is correct, the 3.5 day max age rule isn't enough.

This is absolutely incorrect information.

LOL. You can't just drop a bomb like that and not say why.

It also makes those self-voters extra bad guys because they vote themselves immediately after posting which denies curation with anyone that upvotes with them.

So basically there are a few really smart and really selfish cocksuckers out there with massive SP and they’re all circle-jerking themselves for maximum ROI — everyone else be damned.

The moon and the truth cannot hide for long.

Thx for clarification.
