How does one optimize curating? I typically just do it myself when I read through Snaps and my follow content. What is considered optimized even?

  1. Never let your voting mana get up to 100%
  2. Make sure your voting value is above the dust treshold
  3. Vote only posts within 24h after they have been published

What is the dust threshold?

Why only vote for posts in the first 24 hours? Don't you have up to a a week to vote for posts?

It is about 2c, if your vote value is less and nobody else votes on that post (or comment), it doesn´t count at all!
After 24h a part of your curation rewards is gone, after 3d some more and after 6d you will get only 1/3 curation rewards. But I am not sure about details.

Wow, that is all news ot me. I don't know very much about the economics of curating. I just like reading thought-provoking content and Splinterlands banter from the handful of creators I follow. And I upvote a bunch of the fresh content on Snaps!
