Hi, thanks for the link. Anybody concerned or confused, just look at your post using steemd (replace steemit in the URL) and check out the author_curate_rewards near the foot of the right-hand box. That figure is the % of the curation rewards that go to the author as part of the early-voting-penalty. From HF20 onwards, those rewards will go back into the general pool.

One can still self-vote but best to do so after the reverse-auction period, which will decrease from 30 to 15 mins. From my understanding, those curation rewards will still go to the author as the vote is treated the same as every other one.
