Hi all
This week is complete and as usual, I have 10 Steem in prizes to give away. Stuff that it's Christmas, lets give some SBDs away as well :)
Starting this week I'll be running two leagues in the same post, lets see how that goes!
Enter this weeks' leagues for a chance to win some crypto by showing your interest in the comments section below.
On your marks, get set, curate!
Introduction
My general opinion on maximizing curation rewards is:
Voting in the first minute will earn you a curation reward of almost 0.000
Voting between 1 and 29 minutes will earn an increasing % of the curation rewards split, this value peaking at 30 minutes and remaining the same from this point onwards
The goal is to get in prior to the big hitters, but not too early!
It is commonly suggested that 20-25 minutes is the 'best' time to vote (especially on known power-authors posts because they are likely to have more auto-votes coming in at these times - and you want to be ahead of these votes)
A vote of equal weight and equal Steem Power at 30 minutes will give more reward than a vote at, for example 1 hour - first come first served, but don't arrive to early :)
Voting on good dtube content and utopian-io approved contributions (prior to vote by @dtube / @utopian-io can earn some very good curation reards
As you can see, a combination of many variables such as Steem Power, voting strength, voting weight, and time of vote, (and more) all play a part in the amount of rewards received.
My general opinion on maximizing engagement is:
- Spread your vote, write lots of long comments
The data for league 1
The raw data has been collected from SteemSQL - @arcange's MS SQL Server copy of the Steem Blockchain.
The key formula used for 'quality of financial curation skill' is:
Curation Rewards DIVIDED BY Steem Power MULTIPLIED BY 1000
This will return the amount of Curation rewards gained per 1000 Steem Power held
Before I present the table (which has entrants from the previous Blogs and those who wished to be added by making themselves known in last week's comments), this is the criteria needed to be fulfilled to have a chance of appearing in this League:
Must have voted at least once on a piece of content in the past 7 days
Must not have leased or delegated Steem Power in the last 15 days
Must not have Started a Power Down (Withdrawl of Steem Power) in the last 15 days
The 2nd and 3rd points above are required to reduce distortion of the figures. And, as curation rewards for the past week are actually taken from votes made up to 14 days ago, we need a 15 day window as mentioned in these points.

The end column is what I think is a genuine indicator of how well you are financially working the curation game with the tools,including vested Steem Power, that you have at your disposal.
Chart and Analysis
Amount of SP earned per 1000 Steem Power owned
Might need to zoom in this week - sorry!
This weeks' results:
@miniature-tiger has done it again! Awesome stuff, 2.5 Steem for you this week!
@biophil a close 2nd and @buggedout in 3rd will be receiving 1.25 Steem - great efforts too!
- The average curation reward/Steem Power this week is 1.438, slightly down on last week which was 1.456 SP.
Community Curation Excellence - League 2
This new league is not based around rewards and relates to engagement.
Everyone currently on my master list has a chance here - delegation dealings or not.
I've used some metrics (made up some numbers) that are related to:
- Comments (number and amount of text)
- Up-votes to others
- Up-votes to unique others
- Self-votes (a minus score for this one!)
