Steemit Curation; A community question.
...So I have read a lot of information on it, but there are still some unanswered questions.
1.) If I am the (for example), 20th person to vote... But, my Steempower is enough to put me ahead of 15 others, would I be in the top 5 and get a curation payout?
2.) If someone votes on a post within 10 seconds, which triggers the author to get most of the reward... And then I vote at the 30 minute peak window, does the author still get the bigger piece of the pie, or is it based individually?
3.) Do only the top 5 get rewards? Or is it scaled down further?
I have tried finding all I could on this, to no avail. Any links sent, will be read... And appreciated :)
I am trying to learn all I can about this platform.

I also have one question.
If i am the first to vote to a post that gets 150 upvotes and 100$ and i have no steem power except what i have begun with...do i still get something?
Good question, that's exactly what I am wondering.
If this is the case, I guess there is no point in trying to curate, unless you have a heavy Steempower balance.

I don't all this things apply. As long as curate a post before the 7days deadline you will get rewarded.
English is not my first language so i dont fully understand the contexts, maybe you get it better from these links.

Thanks, I am watching it now... If any of these questions are answered, I will let you know.

Seems that, in this video... He is speaking of what to look for, and the timing of a vote.
For instance, don't ever vote on trending if you are looking for curation rewards.
You should search in the 'new' tag and find content that is well written, that you think will become popular.
For the timing, try to find great content, that was posted 8+ minutes ago... To maximize your curation.
Hope this helps you understand a bit more.
Thanks a lot for the link!

Thanks, still to figure out about that steem power and how it works on curation.
I posted on this recently... my response is that if you have very little steem power (like nearly all of us), it really doesn't matter... just upvote people mostly that are in the 30s,40s, and 50s of rep, they are the ones that need your support and encouragement mostly // PEACE
The FAQ section explains some of this. But I am still confused about some things. I tend to comment first and then up vote newer posts that I think will get big.. that way my vote is usually after 5 minutes or so. I think you would benefit the most if you found posts after 20 minutes or so that were worth like .50 then they blow up to around $50 after your upvote. But that's difficult to time, so I don't worry about it too much. I think it's most important to find content that is worthy of an upvote and curate those posts
Thanks @drewley
I am mainly curious about being the 6th voter, and having more steempower than the first 5... Would that put you ahead of them, in curation rewards?
For instance,
On your post,
...So, you can bump people off? Or does it just show votes according to voting power?
Congratulations again, BTW!

Actually just found out about curation this evening, also.
And... If you wait for 20 minutes like you suggest, but there were already 2 people ahead of you that voted at the one minute mark... Would that reduce your curation rewards, even though you waited?
_Rob
That's what I don't know. All of the curators should get a portion of the 25% of the post pay out. I just don't know how it splits it up
Thanks for the insight.
I am still searching for rock-solid info and will let every one know when I find the correct rules.

Yea they always put the most powerful upvotes at the top. And yea I post in the open mic competition every week.. usually Saturday or Sunday. Some of the piano pieces do really well, but it all depends on if some whales upvote it or not.
Awesome post with some great questions! Thanks for doing all this research! I will be checking back to see if you find any more answers.
I will dig up some good material for all of us, and write a layman's guide. =)
I think it is very interesting that it is so complicated , being hard to exploit it makes it more fun and gives you a sense of accomplishment when you find out. I am counting on you Carter to bring light in this issue :P
