This is so very interesting @haphazard-hstead ! I think there are changes that occur since this 9 months old post, like the fact that a post is available now only 7 days to be resteemed, since this has bee payed out it won't earn rewards after that, isn't it ? And was it 30 days at the time of your post..?
In any case I have to save this link to come back and read all the comments later, thanks a lot for this great information ^_^
