RE: MAP Rewarder: Distributed Rewards for 22 July 2018 (APR 19.3%)
Yes I've noticed the @rycharde account upvoting and no @accelerator upvotes. But aren't those smaller?
I'll check the post, thanks.

You've given me something to ponder...
The upvotes are a new addition to MAPR and the thinking behind it is to change the "yield curve" so that modest delegations can see significant benefits - without ruining the earning algorithm!
If you look at the numbers at the top of the page, the difference between [6] and [5] is 1.6% APR, or about 7.5% of rewards going out as upvotes. Those are "non-earning" upvotes in the sense that they are part of our support to MAP members and delegators but they are not part of the earning algorithm. If I start to increase those, then the total earnings will drop - the extreme case is that all upvotes go to delegators and we get a tiny curation income.
Hence the separation between two accounts so that I can actually do more than with just one account.
However, you have made me think that there is also a logic that existing delegators may benefit from new delegators (a small amount) if those upvotes were from the same account - or in some way tied to it.
It's in the maths... somewhere!
One immediate consequence that does spring to mind is that the minimum SP would probably have to increase to avoid becoming a pure upvote-service.
Well I guess I should feel flattered for giving you something to think about :)
But yes if upvoting with @accelerator account would decrease APR then don't.
But you're good with math so you can figure it out if there is a solution to that.
