Claim Rewards - The New Button on Steemit Just Shown Up To Me!
Now after fork you dont get rewards until you claim them and today my first little reward from comment pot came.
And here is what obviously happens after you click it:
Not sure, comment payouts are shorter and take just 4 days instead of 7 ?
Anyways that my small update on payments you can predict after the HF18 for now.
I'm waiting for payment on one in 3 days I haven't got that button
I haven't got the button
Oh okay! Perhaps, on the 8th day!
Now 2 days still no button ???
I am due to get paid tomorrow still no button
Are you sure.... is this april fools ?ha...ha... ! Nice ! :)
i did not post on 1st april at all, jokes are for other people - this is a serious blog ;)
Okay.... Too many fake posting make me dizzy... Ha..ha... Glady know that is true Nice ! :)
so what's the point of claiming? why not just pay it out automatically?
I seem to recall some explanation around this change just decreasing some of the processing demands on the back end. I think it's strictly for scalability and tech efficiency. It certainly would inherently decrease the number of actual transactions, as people won't automatically claim every individual reward calculation. It may also go hand in hand with the new reward split features of posting. It may make it easier to see and track incoming rewards from posts other than your own.
My one wish would be that this interface and calculation would have more decimal places, allowing even the smallest interactions to give a feeling of progress and build up into a clickable reward. If you have to click it anyway, it's also a perfect starting point for some gamification elements. Throw a progress bar and some achievement type accolades into that interface!
Thanks for the clarifications!
Yes we need optional gamification or dry direct use for people who want to narrow their use time
thats a good question
I'm hoping Steemit, Inc. has an open discussion about this. My guess is that it could provide an opportunity for any unclaimed Steem to be sent back to the rewards pool after a certain period of time.
Maximize distribution efficiently. Everyday users would probably end up with more rewards versus a bot user who may only access an account once a month or longer???
Just my 3cents worth...
Hey this is almost like the pop-bubbles for steem idea lol
A very fixed one, but maybe one step closer to your idea! :) Share your post here so other who didn't see it can have a read!
Did we get rid of curation rewards?
No, curation rewards still exist. We're just not getting any at the moment because of the switch from a 1 day post payout time to a 7 day post payout time. Once all of the 1 day posts concluded around the launch of the recent hard fork, we were all left with a week lag as we wait for new posts to reach payout time, and then rewards will start flowing again.
Likewise, that's why many have not seen the new rewards claim option yet. Unless you had a post or comment reward right on "the bubble" at the hard fork, you probably won't see any rewards to claim for several more days.
Yeah a few people have brought this up.
i didn't get this button yet anyone like me
Good to know that, thank you! Resteemed
Information like these should be communicated through official channels to make them available to all users.
I claimed my rewards, I wondered where they came from...still not sure what that was for...
i think comments
Hey @kingscrown! Clear and enjoyable.
