Achievement 6 Task by @wase1234: Understanding Curation and Community

Hello community members. On verification of my achievement 5 task 4 I am happy to be presenting you with my achievement 6 post on curation and community.

The Task for Achievement 6

Please make a post based on the questions below:

• Do you understand how voting and curation work in steemit?
• What happened if you vote a post before 5 minutes marks after posting?
• Who will you vote for Steem Witness ? and Why?
• Which community will you join in Steemit, and why?

- Do you understand how voting and curation work in steemit?

VOTING
On the steemit platform when someone writes a post you can like and dislike the post just like other social media platforms. The difference is that when your posts are voted on you get rewards from the votes from people with high SP (steem power).

From this screenshot I will indicate some things about voting.
-The green upward button is the upvote(like) button.

• The red downward button is the downvote (dislike) button.
• If you click on the drop down arrow near the amount you will see how the reward will be distributed in steem, SBD and TRX.
• The faint upward arrow shows how many people have voted on your post.

Upvoting (Like)
If you read some content on the platform and you like it you can upvote it. This means you appreciate the content. Upvoting a post when you have less than 500SP doesn’t add the reward of the post. Users with more than 500SP get to arrange the weight of their vote. That is, when they vote a bar will appear and they can adjust the percentage of vote they are giving.

Downvote (Dislike)
Sometimes some people don’t appreciate the posts of others due to reasons like plagiarism and spam so they downvote it. For others it could be a careless mistake. A downvote can reduce your reward.

Voting Manna
This is like the credits you have to vote. At the beginning everyone’s voting manna is 100%. When you cast an upvote the manna reduces by 2% and it recharges 20% per day. Each time a vote is made, the previous vote casted is worth more than the next. That is, a vote casted at 100% worths more than a vote casted at 50%.

the first bar is the upvoting bar

CURATION
This is the reward gotten from upvoting posts. The rewards are shared so that 50% goes to the author and 50% to the curator.
The curation rewards will be lesser if the curator votes on the post before the first 5 minutes of the post being posted.

You can get curation votes from also upvoting comments. Downvotes reduces the reward of a post so is no curation reward gotten from downvoting a post.

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

Like I mentioned earlier the curation rewards will be lesser if the curator votes on the post within the first 5 minutes of it being posted. That is less than 100% of the total 50% will go to the curator.
This is calculated linearly based on the time the vote was cast.

• At 1 minute, the curator gets 20% and 80% remains in the reward pool.
• At 2 minutes, the curator gets 40% and 60% remains in the reward pool.
• At 3 minutes, the curator gets 60% and 40% remains in the reward pool.
• At 4 minutes, the curator gets 80% and 20% remains in the reward pool.
• At 5 minutes or later, 100% goes to the curator.

Who will you vote for Steem Witness ? and Why?

I can vote 30 witnesses and would like to vote all if there are more but my favorite witnesses are @successgr.with who when tagged will vote and comment on your post. I will also vote @steemchiler who is the developer of steemworld.org which I use very often to track my account statistics.

Which community will you join in Steemit, and why?

Already I have joined a number of communities.

But if I had to delete all and choose, I will choose the following;

Steemit CrptoAcademy

I would love to join this community because it teaches people about the crypto world and market and aslo gives homework’s to go and research on. The good posts in community are rewarded by steem curators which is a great motivation.

Steem Cameroon

I would totally join this community because it follows up its members, admins always try to creat contest and they also promote creativity.

Newcomers Community

I would join this community because it helps newbies learn more about the platform through achievement tasks. It also provides little tips and advices for the newbies to help them get well acquainted with how the platform works.

Promo Steem

I love this community because it is based on Steem promotional activities that is both online and face to face. Here those who promote steem get a change to be recognized and seen as promoters.
