As far as anyone has said so far, the timing aspect of curation will not change. Rather, it will continue as it has before. What could change, supposedly, is the number of individuals who will be trying to upvote, and that could make timing more critical than its been for a while.
Personally, I don't see that changing, but who knows.
The change to 50/50 isn't the only thing that will affect awards, though. The convergence linear curve is going to do something, along with the ability to freely downvote however many they end up giving out a day.
If fewer folks get upvotes but those who do end up with more upvotes packing in at 12, 13, 14, and 15 minutes, I'm not sure what that does with curation. As it is, most of the Big Fish don't really even upvote that quickly, because they've been following a curation trail of some kind, and those don't normally upvote so quickly, due to their own curation procedures.
So, penalties still there, but potentially creating the crowding the penalties were designed to discourage (who knows).
Hi Glen. Thank you as this helps me tremendously. Timing will be critical as it is now and the penalties may have little or no effect depending on the votes that follow. This should be loads of fun though if it is adopted. Nothing confirmed yet so I am keeping my eyes peeled. Thanks again for the answer.
Have you seen Tim Cliff's latest post? That sounded as about as done deal as it gets to me. Also, there's something on github regarding at least the convergence linear curve that I can't honestly say in what stage it might be in, only that it shows up as something they've included there.
So, whether it's been stated officially by steemitblog or not, it sounds like it's happening to me. Otherwise, I think we'd have HF 21 by now if it were just the SPS they were involving in this, since it's been ready now for six weeks or so.
I agree as it sounds as though they have already made up their minds. I am hoping it will be ok as not all changes are good ones. I know some have been calling for this for some time and they seem to have wise heads.
You're more gracious than I am. :) I wouldn't call it wise. I think they're smart. I think they know what they should be doing, and the fact that they feel the need for incentives to do what they know they should have been doing all along makes me untrusting. But as you say, we will more likely than not find out in short order just what we've been led by the nose into. :)
