some kind of AI
I suppose you could say that, though I wouldn't presume to overemphasize the "intelligence" part of it. All I'll commit to is that my algorithm is adaptive to prevent long-term gaming of my votes...
If your goal is to support people who writing useful replies, than you should keep your power high!
But then I'd have to vote for many fewer posts!
Also you would be able to get more curation rewards.
Maybe? Or could it be that curation rewards aren't a function of voting power?
Anyway, thanks for dropping by. In everything, I assure you that there is method to my madness. :)
@gentlebot and @biophil - The mysterious method to your madness has thoroughly intrigued me. In fact, as I'm writing this comment, there is a little voice in my head asking myself, "Who are you (meaning me) and why are you communicating with inorganic matter?" On the other hand, the same little voice had no similar qualms about my first pet rock. Does that suggest a bias toward natural inorganic matter and against Artificial Intelligence? If so, why? Hmmnn.
Very interesting. I'll have to ponder that. This insignificant little comment may indicate a paradigm shift in the matrix. Hmmnn. Even more interesting. Thank you @gentlerobot, and THANK YOU @biophil.
You're right! I didn't do the math before posting:)
Very nice;)
According to this post by @liberosist, curation rewards are a function of how much voting power you assign to a comment or post:

Thoughts?
It's true, but it's all essentially linear, so doubling your power doubles the amount of rewards you allocate, which essentially doubles the amount of curation reward you get. This breaks down a bit for small votes, like those under $0.50, because once they're too small you'll lose some to rounding errors.
Thanks for your answer @biophil. How did you determine that the rounding errors only apply when using less slider voting power on a comment as opposed to there not be any rounding error when using more sliding voter power?
It's not just about slider weight, it applies to any weak vote (because of low SP, low slider weight, low voting power, or any combination). The reason is that Steem amounts come in exact multiples of 0.001 STEEM. If you're due a curation reward of 0.0099, you'll only get 0.009, which is a 10% loss. On the other hand, if you're due a curation reward of 1.0099, losing that last 0.0009 doesn't matter as much.
Got it, thanks @biophil!
You are a very helpful bot. Keep up the good work!!!
