Curation rewards 2.0: A Technical Proposal on revamping voting rewards to incentivize high-quality Digital Curation on Steemit.

One problem I've noticed is that people are hunting down posts that are under the 30 minutes reward window to specifically up-vote them if they've attracted attention, and there's a chance they will hit the front page.

@cryptobarry I concur, this activity you describe is not a service that merits of the largest portion of curator payments. If more incentive was put on discovering uncurated content we could increase the value of $STEEM by improving the diversity of quality content available on steemit.

I agree with you that any post gone for the first 30 minutes is less likely to get famous again if they are not on the trending part.

But yes, if an post does not attract votes in the thirty minutes, it is also likely that they does not have good contents.

@nomorealex, There should be some specific changes which could be made to encourage finding new content not simply being the Nth person to approve of a post.
