I have noticed some strange behavior from the blockchain with regards to rewards. This is the story of one such event. There have been many more.
I would like to stress the point, that this is not about the loss of 0.something Steem. It is about protecting the integrity, viability and value of Steem and the Steemit platform as a whole.
The short story:
As you can verify for yourselves, @kiwiwsteem voted 100% for the post 18 seconds before @joe.public
I voted 100% for this post from my @joe.public account and was the second voter according to the screenshot.
The post ends up looking like this:
Now I am not that bright, but i would expect to receive curation rewards on both of my accounts however none were awarded.
From the @joe.public account
From the @kiwisteem account
These being plain and simple facts, they seem to beg the questions:
Have the rules changed regarding the timing of voting, such that you get NO curation reward for voting before a certain time?
Is this just a malfunction or is it due to something more sinister?
I do hope people with a lot more technical ability than myself look into these events as I am certain that I am not the only person these things are happening to.
