The Monster Market and their Monster Curation are a wonderful bonus for any Free to play blogger. One upvote from them and your already halfway to your spellbook! Also a great site to visit once you are building your card stash.

Some people don't really understand curation though and I'll admit that I'm just learning. However here is the quick and dirty version.

Believe it or not you don't get paid any SPT for just posting on the Splintertalk.io site. You only get paid if you post something that someone likes (or at least upvotes).

Here's the curation information from my last blog post.

Curation Rewards.jpg

I got 51 likes. Horray me. A quick look on the far right and you'll see the post is currently worth 1068.494 SPT. I don't get that much for the post though. As the poster I get half of that amount in 7 days.

When I hover over the number of likes I get a list of who liked the post. monster-curator did and his like is worth a whopping 936 SPT! Shoutout to nateguila-spt whose vote also has a powerful vote at 50.56 SPT.

Why are their votes so powerful? They have staked their SPT and a LOT of it. I've currently staked $10 USD worth of SPT tokens and my like is worth 0.2 SPT so my guess is nateguila-spt has about $2500 USD staked and Monster-curator probably $50,000 USD staked!

Why would people with so much in the game bother with my little post? Well, Curators get the other half of the post value. So, my 1068 SPS give me 534 SPS and the other 534 SPS is split between those people who liked it. Exactly how its split--far beyond my knowledge.

In the end post good content and get upvotes for SPT.

Post crap and you might get a vote or two from people farming their staked SPT but generally get little.

Post something no-one likes and you get absolutely nothing.

Take home message: Make good content and get rewarded :)
Plus thanks to all those who upvoted my posts :)

and another shoutout for #PIZZA and #ONEUP ... still not sure their exact value but I'll shamelessly plug for pennies :)
