Let's use last night's contest as an example.
I ran a contest, just upvote me to to win - Simple.
A lot of people didn't really know how it could benefit them, so here is the technical stuff. Like what I do behind the scenes to make you more money.
Here is how it works. After 24 hours my vote tally and income looks like this.
There were 141 people voted on my post. Every vote that arrives after this point will add money to the normal curation reward they receive - Lots more if they are whales voting after you did. Get it? So I wait for things to calm down and I pay for a big vote! The big vote triggers a few hundred frontrunner votes, then comes the big one. (more detail below)
Steemd.com/@htooms looks like it has slowed down after 24 hours. No action really. I was just voting on comments.
So it's time to get the ball rolling and call in some heavy duty voters!!!
- Here's how
So I go and pay booster to give me a vote sometime in the next hour or so. He agrees.
The frontunners guild detects that someone wants a big vote. They swarm in to vote just before booster does
And here they come
First prize goes to all voters.
- Two hours ago it looked like this - 24 hours of votes and comments.
- I kicked in about $40 SBD and the crowds came running in, adding 272 more votes!
check your curation rewards on this post 6 days from now and you will see that you made WAY more than usual.
The comment prize of 20 SBD goes to @michaelcj
He tied with @dante31, but @michaelcj got more money on his comment - Winner.
Older contests I ran.
I used to delegate large whale votes to winners but now, I have moved my SP to an exchange where it's not so public.
