If you care about 100% of your vote being used, wait until the 15 minutes are over.

That doesn't work. I not only need to wait until the fifteen minutes are over, I need to only vote on posts where everyone else did also, or else some of my vote value is trashed.

The system is going to reward curators with a portion of your vote at that point though, because that is how the system works.

I'm not remotely complaining about that. I think you're still reading this very badly.
