Sorry, just trying to clarify. I took this out of the post you sent me to: "Author/curation rewards would be reduced in the short term though increased in the long term." And I wish I could find the post where there was a big discussion between several people who said they dropped from-this was the average amount during the discussion-1500 monthly in curation rewards to 300 monthly making it almost not worth their time to curate due to the hardfork- were they mistaken or was I misunderstanding the reason for it?Or is it as the hardfork post suggested, a short term reduction and people are just impatient? (You answered this, my reply is above, hope it's not getting confusing now)
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
different hardfork, i think. Curation rewards were reduced, months ago..... but beanz and smooth are correct, what you were seeing was SP "interest" in your balance... its very unlikely that you could even achieve 1% per week on 1000 SP even if you were an incredibly skillful curator.
Yes, I am clear on the entire scope of things now I believe. Well, as far as that's concerned. I think everyone is still waiting on your part two :) Happy New year.
coming in a minute ;-) happy new year
Oh good, this reminds me--I'm going to resteem it, I know beanz will too, and I had a question about that- should I do that right after you post it, or would it be better if I wait a few hours? It will turn up on the home page for my followers when I do, right? Sorry, day after New Year's Eve, brain is not working on optimum power right now. I was just wondering what would give it the most exposure.
I'm unsure to be honest. It could be speculative and depending on how things work out... But right now we are going through a transitional period I believe, where many power holders who were here for the interest are no longer incentivised to stay for that reason. So until those who hold power but don't want to be here have left there is a speculative chance of them gaming the system while they have the power...
That much I understand, I knew the money incentive had dropped significantly, I just thought it was curation rewards. I didn't know about the interest, I was too new at the time and numbers aren't my strong suit. Which is why I love how sigmajin breaks things down, starts way over my head then comes down to my level LOL. I think I already said this, possibly to you, but I discovered him a couple of weeks ago and attempted to flatter him into posting more :)
My husband speculated that Dan and Ned did this purposely to get rid of the corruption in the system. He's been watching them closely to make sure they're holding strong, and especially that they're not powering down a large amount themselves which would be bad. Sell out bad. But they're not, he believes they're a hundred percent in. Though that still might not be enough to keep it afloat if things don't change. If those gaming the system/here for the cash/not adding content or creativity to the platform do leave, that should take care of a pretty significant part of the problem I imagine.
