RE: [Update 07/01] Curation reward/fork discussion updates
Excellent question, but no. Discussion will continue to be rewarded in the usual manner, based on upvotes given by community members who see the merits of specific comments.. The proposal that was widely disliked in 0.8.1 to shift 25% of the rewards from each post to comments below that post. This would likely encourage spammy comments trying to capture a portion of rewards on high-paying posts, even if those comments are not good enough to earn their own votes.
Aha. So the author of the post would have been rewarded if there was heavy discussions under the post, even if there were no upvotes on the replies? I can see that being a problem, yes.
Not exactly. The author of the replies could be heavily rewarded even with basically no upvotes on the replies. So any post with a lot of upvotes on the post would become a magnet for junk replies trying to grab a piece of the prize.
