I think it's a nice thing to do. I actually received one last night from a user I'd not have expected to boost anyone other than herself. It was nice to see for sure, and I was sure to leave a comment saying thank you to the user.
With the two dot-points. Yeah, Not deal breakers. They want to maximise their curation hence the 24 hour thing and I agree with not boosting/voting twice.
Let me know how you go with it.
This is actually a good post in my opinion:

and I tried to boost it within the first 24 hours. Not sure what criteria Ecency uses to approve or reject boosts.
Oh well. I guess I'll keep trying to use it, but it's not in my my favorites list at the moment.
I've had that happen. Maybe it's something to do with their voting power.
