How to game the curation rewards.

in #steemit8 years ago

It's come to my attention that users can up vote a post they think might become really hot within the first few minutes and then 25 minutes later, come to find it does not gain immediate traction but are confident it will still trend, the user can simply remove their initial vote and cast their vote again to move up the curation list.

This definitely looks like a problem that needs to be addressed. A simple fix for this could be that the first time a voter casts their vote, the weight proportionate to that vote "sticks". Meaning, should the voter cast their vote again at 25 minutes, after having cast a 6 minute vote already, the same vote that took place at the 6 minute mark would take effect, not the newly casted vote. If you have any other suggestions to prevent this kind of voting behavior, please share your thoughts.

Happy Friday!

Confirmed. I voted as soon as this post was created.

took away my vote and cast it again, I was then moved to the top.

Ha-Ha-Ha Guys! Thank you for making my vote weightless in a thread I tried it on :P

on steemd it shows that it apparently is fixed in a stricter way. @steemrolled ;)

Good spot brother, I was wondering what was going on there.

I'm only going to vote once. :-). But this is an astute observation.

im confused anyway... never recieved a curation reward, i dont know why.

Same here, i recieved Author reward for reply a post but nothing about curation reward, i vote like i read in a lots of posts here betwen 15-30mins, maybe i need more SP.

I got my first curation reward some hours ago, is a little but i´m happy with it, the system work.... :-)

Hmmm does not look like it can be used to alter rewards but still hopefully they fix this soon.

Once you vote you can't take it back. If it weren't so in real life, the results of brexit might have changed.

Thanks for this news man, i like it.

I replied in your post about how it looks like under the hood.
