They won't be able to exclude curators but that's an interesting idea for the near future. :p
What reward.app does right now is take the 50% of author rewards from my post when it pays out, check all voters that voted it but instead of abiding by the curve the blockchain uses where early voters get a bigger share, it evens it out so everyone gets a linear share depending of their stake of the 50%. Half of the rewards that go to curators can of course not be controlled as the blockchain handles that so we can just adjust and give different parameters to the extra rewards authors want to give to curators.
Where can I find information about this curve where early voters get more rewards? Curious how that works, googling and getting nowhere
Good question, I haven't seen any straight forward numbers in years, not sure if that curve ever changed after the rest of allocation went from linear to what it is now and before that it was squared. If you go to hivestats.io/@username then to pending and curation rewards you can see the "efficiency %" which shows your upcoming curation rewards and you can trial by error your way into better CR.
Good tip, thanks!!
Maybe it's in the code itself, I did a very brief search for the word "curation" in the docs and didn't see anything useful, but could look harder on that end.
Would be good to know!
