RE: Important news about using ETH and ETC from Vitalik
I am still not getting this... in terms of curation reward one would be better off to wait 30min from post creation right?

Yes. 30 minutes after the creation gives you the most benefit. But it's gradual: the earlier you vote the bigger part of your curation reward ends up with the post author - which is not bad in some cases.
pardon my ignorance but who would then be voting from minute 0 to minute 30 of creation? for which benefit?
You might want to do it for the benefit of the author. If you see a nice post by an unknown author and feel you want to give up your award for so that the author gets more (and also the post has a bigger chance to be noticed) - then you vote early. So it's a kind of altruistic action.
But please note that this process is not black-and-white, e.g. if you vote 15 minutes after the creation you achieve an outcome which is something between voting after 0 minutes and voting after 30 minutes. You would need to refer to the official documentation for the exact algorithm that controls the curation reward.
perfect, thanks for the reply, much appreciated
