RE: How will the HF20 dust vote changes affect the vote values?
Well, this probably means curation rewards hunting like @curx is doing, will get harder, doesn't it? Considering that you mostly use small votes for that curation hunting....
Also this means I can nearly give up voting with my 2 side accounts with only 3 SP as of right now xD
Cool analysis, thanks a lot. :D
Thanks, @flugschwein! Yes, I think these changes have quite some implications for curation bots. At the moment, the smaller the vote, the higher the relative curation reward returns (if the vote is placed correctly). With the HF20 downshift, another parameter comes in that makes small votes less profitable. The smallest curx votes are currently around 0.8 bn rshares (which is quite big compared to other bots). Keeping this value would probably sacrifice around 6% of the rewards for the small votes. Voting with 2 accounts with 3 SP will not be efficient, so you should probably power those up before HF20 :)
This definitely sounds rough for newer accounts, but still exciting information, I always rather hated the 'dust' method we use now.
Not just the curation rewards, but the account growing in general.
All votes will be reduced.
"If the voting behavior stayed the same as now, the value of each vote would be increased by around 0.1% due to a lower total sum of active rshares in the chain. This would compensate the value loss for accounts with around 1000 SP or more, all others would still lose slightly." - Quote from the analysis.
The voting behavior won't stay the same as now, because the 30-minute Curation Window will change to 15-minute by the HF20. This will surely change the voting behavior.
