My little test

Hi, this is @gadrian's test account.

For 32 days now (or most of it, because I stopped at some point), I tested to see if I can earn something from a curation trail with this new account.

I used very well known curation trails. The problem with that, is that given my minuscule SP here and, as I've learned recently, the fact upvotes are casted in the order of following the curation trail (true, at a milisecond apart, and subject to network lag), it is highly unlikely I would earn anything this way (which would be the case with any new account that doesn't invest in SP). That's because popular curation trails are already followed by hundred of accounts.

Of course one can still follow such a curation trail if they believe in the type of curation the account is making, but not expect any rewards as a new unfunded account. I made exactly one 0.001 SP during the entire 32 days.

Going forward, for now, I decided to create a curation trail of my own for @gadrian and follow it with this account. And see what happens. The advantage is I'll be the first one to follow the curation trail and few will follow, if anyone else will. The "disadvantage" is I don't necessarily upvote to maximize curation rewards. I'm curious if I'll get any curation rewards here this way.
