Thanks for sharing. After reading @jaki01's post at, a lot of comments there, and espacially @anggreklestari's comment at, I now have read three or four more posts and finally ended here with your's.

I did not knew that leofinance makes a difference in curation distribution. I feel like this topic on the one hand is becoming more and more complicated and on the other hand more and more diverse with lots of different frameworks.

I wished someone shares some easy to grasp overview posts about all this stuff. Looks like experience has gathered that has not been there one or two years ago.

By now I leave you more confused then I was yesterday, when all this was hidden to me. Looking forward to explore new horizons. @tipu curate !invest_vote !BEER

The topic occupies me. Having a linear curve looks to make sense. I hope we're seeing a trend here. And why not leaving it to the author to select a curve with their audience in mind? I guess it's a topic I can talk about till I'm blue in the face.

Here's what I found on my way (and it's not on Leofinance; that's what I don't like about those front-ends. Well, tribes are ok to me, yet with every front-end one need to reference outside the tribe for good content that is on the same chain. Anyway)

https://leofinance.io/@leofinance/leveling-the-playing-field-leo-is-switching-to-a-linear-curation-curve

Here's another pick I have found just before posting this comment:

Even if [a linear curve] was considered as a big disadvantage the next solution would be to distribute the curation rewards to the users after 7 days from the date the vote was cast. The author payout might happen before but the curation reward alone would be locked and distributed after 7 days from voting. This can create a little complication to the current reward distribution model. But if this needs to be implemented, then technically it shouldn't be a problem.
But people feel that if the votes are not time-bound, people might make use of this opportunity to grab the rewards towards the end of the post lifecycle and get benefitted easily. Though this is seen as a disadvantage by many people, I don't think this would harm the system in anyways. But yeah maybe there are also other factors to be considered. Maybe experimenting with this and discussing in detail can prove if this system is reliable or not. -> Source

I always liked the idea of not being "time-bound" in general. What's the difference in finding a great post in a year from now?! And those who don't care about content would be seen by their deeds even more, then they already are now. That's when downvoting in the long run could make sense not only for personal vote-vendettas.

Again, I guess it's a topic I can talk about till I'm blue in the face.

LeoFinance recently simplified curation by doing away with the "you must vote as close to five minutes as possible" system of Hive, and the curation reward "curve" is now flat. You upvote a post you like, whenever you like, and you earn full curation rewards regardless.

It serves to stimulate engagement because manual curators can now just focus on finding content they like, in their own time frame without always "watching the clock."

From my perspective, that is as it should be... LARGELY because it is simple and that matters as part of the greater objective of attracting new users from the "outside" and not confusing them with a system that seems almost incomprehensible to a non-technical person.

And yes, it's sad to see @jaki01 throwing in the towel. She is one of the major contributors to the German community on Hive.
