RE: Allow Authors To Determine Curation Split & Timing (Edit 30 Minute Delay)

I think a free-entry box (simply enter a percentage) would be preferable.

I’m all for suggestions on how to control the ‘auto-vote dump’ of those with the most SP.

It’s amazing how subtle acceptance of things can become. The recent, and ongoing glitches seem to have diminished things such as this, which would make the platform ‘better’.

Somewhere along the way I made a suggestion:

A Steemian who loves the work of a particular author; but, is busy behind the scenes working on other projects, with little time to vote, would have an option next to the current upvote button. It would be a simple Steemit logo, which functions as a preset value/vote for any work a particular author creates.

As an example: A is a huge fan of B. However, A doesn’t have time to read every post. This logo would, via automation, register the value preset by A.

Every time Steemian B creates a post, the auto-vote would kick in.

This would give the community an opportunity to see how many up-votes tallied automatically, in-comparison to the current, individual up-vote method.

Again, the longer I'm a member, and the more I understand the logistics of the auto-vote, it’s been 'easier' to put the discussion on the back-burner.

**Btw, speaking of payouts, it seems that the posting of author/curator rewards is on delay of a different kind. Several payouts showing up in SteemNow haven't registered in my Wallet. Hopefully, it’s a glitch which will be corrected soon. I created a simple post which I'm hoping will get this matter addressed soon.

Peace.

Great points you have there. An auto-vote, or "super follow", option in the native Steemit interface would be very welcome. Perhaps this could be added on git via an open-source contribution? I may look into this.

"Several payouts showing up in SteemNow haven't registered in my Wallet."

I haven't noticed this issue, but I am very poor about tracking payments and things of that nature. I just let the blockchain handle it and I "trust" it to happen. (I don't really balance my check-book, either).

"super follow",

Yes, I like this description. As well, I like that it would be open to all Steemians; and, fall along the same lines as the highly successful tipu app.

As an example, imagine a photographer who gets pennies for a post, receiving a 'guaranteed' preset payout of any amount every 7 days from a "subscriber" who set up the amount in advance.

I think this could be a viable incentive for attracting new Steemians.

Usually, I don’t keep tabs on the awards penny for penny; but, the values stood out in Steem Now as far beyond the average up-vote. For this reason, the non-tally in the Wallet was so obvious that I considered it worth mentioning. I didn’t perceive the authors/curators were being shorted; but more so, wanted to alert the developers of a potential glitch.

@lexiconical, blessed are you to not have to keep tabs on your bottom line.

I have to admit that part of my joy as a Steemian is watching my dimes and pennies turn into more and more SP/SD; with an ongoing reminder of gratitude for all the years spent posting for Z-E-R-O, nadie, nothing.

Best regards @lexiconical!

Peace.
