RE: Three examples from the early voting penalty change in HF20
Does the reverse auction apply to beneficiaries as well as regular curation?
the beneficiary share is taken from the author rewards after the unclaimed curator share from the reverse auction time were added to it. source
That's how I thought it worked in general - but that is not what happened to that comment. Something prevented the beneficiary from paying out. Now I'm very curious as to what.
You mean from the utopian mod payout comment from espoem linked by miniature-tiger? This was payed to author and benefactor: https://steemd.com/b/21688715
OK, we're getting closer to understanding what I don't understand, I think. Most past payout displays on Steemit treat beneficiary rewards as curation. Right? I think? That's why beneficiaried posts like this one list author payouts less than 75% and curation greater than 25%. But that one doesn't. It lists author payouts as 100%.
Busy displays it the same, so it's not just a Steemit thing.
For posts that haven't payed out yet, condenser and busy show the pending payout value. For post that payed out already, condenser and busy show the sum of author and curator rewards as the total post value. Beneficiary shares are not shown at all and were already deducted from the author rewards. This way a post can seem to have more than 25% curation share.
The post you've linked has a 25% beneficiary. 5.034 STU were payed out to the author, 2.125 STU were payed out to all curators in total. the 25% beneficiary share to dtube is not contained in either of these numbers. You can reverse the math here: this post had a 5.034 / 0.75 + 2.125 STU = 8.837 STU pending value right before payout.
Ah! Cool, thank you for clearing up where I was wrong. So that original comment paid out its beneficiary but it just vanishes from both the amount voted and the payout display and looks like it never existed at all.
