- I know a little bit about it
I read that "a bug in the curations reward curve that was unrelated to the previous halt or the delegation bug"*., but I don't know (nor understand any) in-depth mathematical details about it.
I understand that the ***"The bug was the result of a subtle behavior in the new curation rewards curve that lead to votes being able to have a curation reward weight of -1".
I also understand that "When paid out, these votes were attempting to receive trillions in STEEM. This was caught by other assertions which instructed the blockchain to halt block production and prevent the unintended behavior from impacting any reward distribution.".
I understand all of this. But I don't understand something like a computed value of 2^64 - 1.
I am not a programmer, and I currently don't have any in-depth mathematical knowledge either.
