Achievement 6 by @konkaar: Understanding Curation and Community

Hello, welcome once again to my blog. As part of my achievement tasks, today I will be reviewing my understanding of Curation and Community. Thanks to @fombae, my previous achievement task is verified. I also thank @cryptokannon for putting up a search nice tutorial on the achievement 6 tasks I have taken time to follow the tutorial and I'm ready to review it.

Do you understand how voting and curation work in steemit?

Quality posts in steemit are been rewarded in a form curating by voting that particular post either by the same user or different users altogether. In steemit, the author of the content and the curator both share the reward generated from the vote cast equally in a 50%/50% manner. The rewards generated from a vote are from a fixed reward pool on steemit and the amount of SP determines how much reward you can share per your vote cast. The higher your SP, the more reward you can reward contents from the reward pool( meaning you will have a high influence on content curation)
One must note that, his or her voting ability is limited, everyone's voting power decreases by 2% per a 100%vote cast on a content. Also once your voting power decrease, your influence on subsequent content you vote on, decrease as well. The good news is that voting power regenerates by 20% every day.
Also, users with SP of less than 500 can only give a 100% per vote without having the ability to adjust the percentage of votes to cast unlike other users with SP of above 500 who can do so. This means that if a user votes a content with 50% then the voting power won't decrease by 2% since he didn't give a 100% vote.
Below is an image of my voting power.

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

The reward from a vote is shared in a ratio of 1:1 between the content creater and the content curator. The amount of 50% reward that the curator of the post will finally receive is based on the time at which they voted on that post. Let's consider this example, Assuming I vote on @fombae content 20SBD, it is split into 10SBD's. The amount of the 10SBD I will receive is calculated as follows;

Curation Time of Post Published	Curation Reward %	Reward/SBD
Before 1 minute	0	0
After 1 minutes	20	2
After 2 minutes	40	4
After 3 minutes	60	6
After 4 minutes	80	8
After 5 minutes	100	10

Who will you vote for Steem Witness ? and Why?

Steem witness plays very crucial role within the blockchain system as they create new networks block and for that matter serve as a governance body. There are many witness to choose from when one goes to vote a witness, most of them have their unique contribution to the blockchain. I would say I'm not familiar with almost all of them, but to choose one, I will go for @justyy. My reason been for the development of the steem tool #steemyy.com This tool contain many features which are handyfor all steem users especially newbies .

Which community will you join in Steemit, and why?

There many communities on steemit which are enticing to join especially as a newcomer, below are few I have joinned for now.

• Newcomer's Community.
  This community is the immediate best community to join upon beginning your journey on steemit. As a newbie one would need some support and guidlines and this community turns to provide that. It focus on all newcomers by helping do the achievement task in order to be familiar with the steemit ecosystem.

  Here I can surround my self with other steem users from my country,get to know each other well and possibledo some meetups. I can also easily reach out to friends especially old steem users in case I need any help.

• Steemit Crypto Academy
  I have keen interest in learning about crypto's but no resource to engage a tutor. But here free tutorials and lessons about crypto are post and also onecan get reward for doing assignments . Free lessons plus reward, who else wouldn't want to :)

• Accountbooster
  This community is basically about helping one another grow their account by giving out contests with rewards, commenting and voting others post as well. The help one get influence on his or her quality contents created.
