Greetings to you all good people in the newcomers community, I'm really excited to write at this particular time as this Mark's the end of my achievement task here on steemit.
The entire journey wasn't an easy one, i have really tried completing all my Achievement-task post's up till this achievement6 task, i returned all glory to God almighty.
Do you understand how voting and curation work in steemit?.
Voting.
When rewards are been attributed to your publication here on steemit then it is assumed to be called voting, the higher your steem power the higher your voting weight.
Voting comes in two fashion upvote and downvotes, when your post is been upvoted your rewards adds up, when your post is downvoted your rewards is removed.
This brings us to what we call voting mana, your voting mana decreases whenever you vote, we have 100% voting mana, so when you vote it reduces.
As you constantly vote, your voting mana reduces by 1/2% which mean's you are charged by the network each time you vote.
When you are new to steemit, your voting mana is nothing to ride home and and it locks around 100%, which means newcomer here can upvote and downvote.
In here once i get to 500 SP, a slider will show up where I will have to select how many percentage i will use to voting it ranges from 1%-100%, you can check your voting mana using https://steemdb.io/@kelly21.
Curation.
Curation happens after someone is done reading your entire Post thereby acessing critical thing's like plagiarism, image source, bot buying etc.
After that the person leaves a comment on your post to add value on your post, it is when all these things are put in check before your post can be curated.
So all this procedures aggregates to curation, when curation is been done, both the author and the curator gain's.
Before curation is been done all the above mentioned things must be checked, here on steemit, spam and content farming, plagiarism are highly prohibited.
What happened if you vote a post before 5 minutes marks after posting?
When voting is done on steemit it has a specific window, which is key to utilize the capability of voting strength.
When you make Post on steemit before 7 days your post can be upvoted, just as the question demand's now if your post is voted at the period of posting.
What happens is that 100% of all your curation rewards will be stagnant at the curation pool, yes is very important you know this.
Some thinks you get curation rewards if only you upvote post's, that's is true but you also get curation reward when you vote people's comment's too.
Let's check out various time and what happens to curation rewards and reward pool in general, we will look at it in a tabular form.
| Time | curation rewards | Reward pool. |
|---|---|---|
| 00 | 00 | 100. |
| 1 | 20 | 80. |
| 2 | 40 | 60. |
| 3 | 40 | 60. |
| 4 | 80 | 20. |
| 5 | 100 | 0. |
Just as the question demand's note if your post is upvoted after 5mins, or later after you are done posting then 100% of your curation rewards will officially goes to the curator.
Who will you vote for Steem Witness ? and Why?.
Before we talk about which witness we will like to vote for let's know who steem witness is from the first instance.
We have 21 witness on the Steemit blockchain and they are saddled with the responsibility of producing blocks every 3 seconds.
Out of the 21 witness they in all calculation produces 21 blocks in total just using 63 seconds, so since steemit ecosystem operates on DPOS they needs various person's to create blocks every seconds.
Just as I have said we have so many witness on the Steemit blockchain, but if you ask me i will choose steemchiller, and justyy, they both developed steemworld, and steemyy, respectively.
Reason for choosing then is that the tools they developed are very crutial to the Steemit ecosystem at large, also i love the way their names sound's.
Which community will you join in Steemit, and why?.
There are exciting communities here on steemit, when i first created this account i had the opportunity of joining various communities which includes, Steemitcrypto Academy, newcomer's community, steem Alliance community, steem Bangladesh community,etc.
I will love to join any Sports related community because me myself is a lover of sports so I can follow great men and women disect Sports in absolute totality.
I will also love to join a community which deal's with the study of mathematics, and other science related course's in all facet's, so in general I'm really geered up to succeeding here.
Conclusion.
When you have good powered up steem power you have more power, more voting strength here on steemit, so what you need to do is to accumulate more steem power, and vote sporadically.
When you vote consistently looking at the various time differences there are specific and different percentages that goes to either the reward pool and also the curation rewards.
Before curation is been done, there are always a total accessments, to check various irregularities that needs to be avoided in order to keep the ecosystem going things like, plagiarism, vote buying, spam, etc.
In general thank you very much great people of the Steemit ecosystem and newcomer's community for this wonderful opportunity been given to me i really appreciate God bless you all.
