I returned Saturday evening from my retreat at the Abbey, and checked my Steemit account. I saw that I had an unclaimed reward pending. Of course I hit the "claim reward" button, and got the reward credited to my account. But I wondered about it.
So... what happens if I don't claim the reward? Do I lose it? If I lose it, what happens to it? Does someone else get it? Does it get divided up among those who did claim rewards? How long do I have to claim a reward? And why do I need to claim a reward that I supposedly already earned?
Anybody out there have some answers?
In other news, so far today I've upvoted six posts by small minnows, five of which were using my wantwiserupvote tag. I saw one post using the tag whose author I didn't recognize, or who I do not remember reaching out to. I'm cautiously optimistic that word is slowly getting out about my little initiative.
As soon as I can sit down and do it, I hope to write a post about my time at the Abbey, with a few pictures. Stay tuned...
Steem on, everyone, and be sure to claim those rewards :)
