RE: New Accounts Don't Have Enough SP to Fully Interact with the Blockchain. Should witnesses update the Max Block Size? (Discussion)
Great comment! Thanks for your input.
Regarding curation rewards, you only get a very small percentage from the post payout if you don't have a lot of SP. Most of the curatoin rewards go on the bigger voters who contributed more to the payout with their votes. If the amount of curation rewards earned is considered "dust" (below the lowest decimal point that the blockchain uses) then they are not counted.
Thanks for the replies. I'm still wrapping my mind around blockchain and Steem, your assistance is much appreciated!
Is that why my most recent upvotes (shown on steemd.com) say "upvote" when a few older ones say "curation reward" -- the newer ones were dust? Good to know.
So, how would a new user who isn't big on posting, but wants to curate and resteem be able to make enough SP to have any kind of impact?
If you are looking at steemd, the upvotes are from you clicking upvote and the curation rewards are payouts from past votes.
Posting and commenting are the main two ways to build SP. There is also the option to purchase more via your wallet.
Thanks for all your help @timcliff. I've chosen you as a proxy. I don't know enough about the various witnesses, nor the platform (yet), to pick 30 witnesses based on anything other than "wow, cool name."
Ok, cool. I am selective with my witness votes, so your vote is in good hands :)
If you ever want to learn more about the process and who to vote for yourself, here is a witness voting guide:

Groovy! That's a lot of reading. Gonna space it out so I don't blow my mind or my computer. lol. Just found myself with like 10 more tabs open...my poor computer can't handle it.
Which hopefully will be improved with HF19!
The whales won't be as impactful as they are now, hopefully freeing up some of those rewards.
