Sort:  

During the first 30 minutes of a post's life the curation reward from upvotes is shared with the author. The closer to publication time, the most of the curator's reward is given to the author.

I'm not sure what the effect upvoting on your own post has. I recall a post that said it's better to wait, but in my experience I haven't noticed anything, and I never got around to finding out more.
