4 Remaining Questions About Steemit
I have a few questions I can't find a clear answer to:
- What happens if you upvote a post after the 7 days is up? Does the author still get the rewards?
- When you comment on someone else's post, does half of the rewards go to them? (have read conflicting comments on this)
- You can edit a post you make on someone else's blog post, and you can edit and delete a comment you make on your own blog post... but can you delete a comment you make on someone else's blog post?
- The closest thing to a private message appears to be to transfer some steem and write your message in the transaction - are there any plans for a HardFork to update this?
Good questions. I'd like the answers too.
"When you comment on someone else's post, does half of the rewards go to them?" There is a 30 minute window after the post is made when the blogger gets a fraction of the comment rewards. If you upvote and comment at the 15 minute mark then the upvote and comment rewards are split 50/50 because it is the half-way point in the 30 minute window. In other words - the curation rewards are prorated for the first 30 minutes.
In my opinion, there is a lot of good content that is overlooked and you can do some good by browsing posts that are a few hours old to upvote and resteem them. It is one of the ways that quality content rises above the clutter.
I understand that the curation rewards of the upvoter for upvoting are split in that way, but didn't not realise it was the same split in reverse for commenting, thanks!
I had no idea commenting provided rewards to the author of the main post. Do you mean if the comment has an upvote? Or just any comment?
What happens if you upvote a post after the 7 days is up? Does the author still get the rewards? according to @readmore you still get upvotes and comments but don't generate any income. It becomes material on the steem blockchain
I'm just as interested as you are!
