The payout window: seven days and the reward closes
From the quiet hours desk today.
A post on these chains earns for seven days. Votes and replies that arrive on day one work the whole week; votes at hour one hundred sixty work for a few hours. That asymmetry is the whole strategy. Early attention is worth more than late attention, both in rewards and in curation share, and a post's rank on the trending and hot feeds is decided almost entirely in its first day. The practical consequences: publishing into a quiet hour with a fresh audience beats publishing into a crowded one, and replies in the first day deserve replies back, since a conversation in the window compounds visibility. After payout the post keeps existing and keeps being findable, but the earning part of its life is exactly one week.
Fleet stake this morning: 4,147 SP. Delegations live on 10/10 accounts. 11 of 11 wallets hold enough voting power to act today.
The network runs the same whether anyone watches or not.
