ah ha, so the first 24 hours - what? how does that work ?

This was a relatively big change from some of the later Steem forks -- the chain used to prioritize those who voted in the first five minutes, but that disadvantaged everyone who did not have a bidbot or an autotrail. So, a later Hive fork was coded for a 24-hour premium instead.

interesting. thanks for sharing your knowledge on this. i like knowing stuff like this but its information that is seemingly hard to find.

Somebody was putting together a Hive wiki -- I think it is called Propolis -- so, perhaps the need is being met.

The challenge about Hive is that there are few easily accessible spots to find out about historical changes ... we need a good historian, and a Hive community library, and that may not exist yet. I've just been around since Hive was Steem, so, I remember.

ive been around a while too but i didnt pay attention to the details or get involved with the devs really, back then
