RE: A Day Of Whale Abstinence Will Answer The Question!
Everyone keeps talking about fixed reward pool, but go follow masteryoda and get your head on straight. The amount of SBD handed out daily is NOT constant.
That's to be expected because the reward pool is actually coded as a fixed percentage of the new Steem produced. If the value of Steem is lower, the SBDs are lower.
The reward pool is fixed in terms of Steem - however the value of that Steem may fluctuate. If Steem goes 10x, SBD payouts rise 10x.
I believe there are other factors involved in that algorithm. All I know is that there is not a fixed amount of which your vote is a percentage. Your vote will be worth the same amount of SBD (mine is 2 or 3 cents, depending on the day and the post, sometimes it's more if the post already has a decent expected payout) whether the whales vote at full power, or not.
