To be precise 25% of the payout goes to curation. If we use the same example of a post paying the equivalent of 100 SBD (per the price feed) at $5 Steem then the payout would be:
- 5 SP to curators (100*0.25/5).
- 7.5 SP to author (100*0.375/5).
- 37.5 SBD (100*0.375).
The total payout would be in USD 25.00 + 37.50 + 271.875 = 334.375 USD (if SBD = 7.25 USD). Of those $309.375 would go to the author and $25 to curators.
It would be necessary to clear up if we are referring to a post with a pending payout, or one that has already been paid out.
A post with pending payout will include the curator amount.
A post with past payouts will not; the author payout and the curator payout are clearly separated.
So yes, your point is true for a post pending payout but not for one with past payout. In my example I was using a post that had paid out $100 and you viewed that by clicking the dropdown and checking author rewards.
For example:
A paid out post makes it clear what the author payout was (even though the value is wrong)
The pending payout includes the curators payout
(there was another commenter that brought this up and I said i will probably show the curator/author split even on pending posts)
Splitting the pending curator payout from the pending author payout is on my to-do list.
Thanks for clarifying. Either way the topic of your post is on point...Condenser does not reflect the true value of a post.
It seems to me then we can switch to the other site to try it out. I popped over to condenser.lberator.com and found it rather annoying having to click on the payout drop down. Maybe I would benefit from feeling less envy. Software is like a pair of shoes. They may seem comfortable at first but you really have to try them out and wear them in the store until the sales person wants to kill you to be sure.
