RE: How to maximize curation rewards for Hive-Engine tokens
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Can you explain what you mean by: "If the voting power is overused for a token, you will lose curation rewards."
My understanding is that you can run out of voting power for the token to the point where curating is not worth the time but you still get your rewards in full (just spread over more posts). The only way to lose them is underusing the token (sitting at 100% power at times).

What you say is actually quite correct.
When curating, my idea is to produce a stable outcome at the highest level. If you overuse the voting power in a token you will produce more value now at the expense of the future. The voting power will go down gradually and your upvotes will be worth less. If you upvote with 20% voting power, your vote will only be worth a fifth of a full vote. Then there might be the dust effect that will prevent you from earning at all with your upvotes, if they become too small.
You will come to a point where you have to stop to vote altogether and let the voting power regenerate. Even if you don't directly loose money with overusing voting power, it will generate less income than when you vote with stable voting power between 80 and 99%. But it's still better than to let your voting power be idle at 100% ;-)
Thanks a lot for your comment!

That's right - the dust effect!
