Now I am writing my achievement post which is achievement 6 and I will seek to answer the following questions

Voting and Curation in Steemit

Steemit platform is a social blockchain platform that encourage the user to publish post and receive reward on the post published. The system work in such a way that when you as the author when you published a post other users can either upvote or downvote the post based on the quality of the post. When they upvote the post the amount of the upvote the author received is divided into 50/50. This mean that 50% of the reward go to the author while 50% of the reward goes to the people that voted as a curation rewards. The curation rewards is divided between then based on voting weight and the percentage they used to vote the author.

What happened if you vote a post before 5 minutes marks after posting?

Just like I said earlier that 50% goes to the curation. It depends on the minutes that a user vote a post will determine what percentage of the 50 met for the curation that the curator will receive and the remaining percentage that will go to the rewards pool.

So if any user upvote at post at 5 minutes 100 percent of the curation reward will go to the curator.
If the time is 4 minutes then 80 percent will go to the curator while 20 percent will remain in the rewards pool.
Again if it is 3 minutes, 60 percent will go for curator while 40 percent will remain in the rewards pool.
For 2 minutes, 40 percent will go to the curator while 60 percent will remain in the rewards pool
And if the post is voted at 1 minute then 80 percent will go to the curator while 20 percent will remain in the rewards pools
And finally if you upvote any post the moment the post is published 100 percent of the curation reward will remain in the rewards pool

Who will you vote for Steem Witness ? and Why?

I have used steemworld.org and still using it till now so I will like to vote the person behind who develop steemworld.org for steem witness. Steemworld.org is helping user to understand better the curation, delegation voting that take place on user account.

Which community will you join in Steemit, and why?

The community I am currently in is steemalive community and I love the community because they have interesting program that engage the members of the community. Program like LID report, My best Dad and Mom and many other programs that keep you engage.

Another community I will like to join is Projecthope community and the reason why I like to join the community is because of the interesting topic such as cyber security, artificial intelligence, business e.t.c that are discussed there.
