About a week ago I did a little digging into Comment Rewarder (A new initiative created by Acidyo and hivetrending : place an @ in front of the names to visit their Hive Blog profile; I left the @ out so I don't ping them). What I found out about this new initiative was that it allows Authors of posts created on the Hive Blockchain to share rewards with those who commented on said content. This is accomplished by the creator of content (The Author) setting

As already mentioned I tested this out about a week ago and everything went great. I voted some comments after the three day mark. Adjusted some votes after the three day mark and all went smoothly. All my initial votes leading up to the cutoff of three days were rewarded as they should be and none of the comments I voted on after the three day mark were rewarded, as it should be. Comment Rewarder handed out all the rewards which is amazing. If one were to do this manually it would take time to calculate and then manually send. An effort too great and time consuming for me and likely for most others as well. Comment Rewarder does all the hard work for us. I was itching to use this service again but I wanted to wait until post payout of my first Comment Rewarder post to finish first. The transfers done by Comment Rewarder on my behalf can be seen screenshot-ed below. Visit my initial post by clicking anywhere on this highlighted link.

As you likely guessed; I have activated Comment Rewarder on this post at the rate of 25%.

- That's it
- Really, that's it
- Yes, its just that easy
I use to run a weekly post some years back called Followers Appreciation Post where followers advertised their blog and interacted with others in the post that did the same. In honor of that posts train of thought I'll be handing out double the vote percentage to those who are following me and follow the simple rule of leaving a comment with substance. Following is not a requirement I'm just giving a little extra juice to those that do to show my appreciation. Non followers who leave exceptionally good comments will also get the higher vote. The vote percentage I will be given out will be 1% and 2%. This is because my voting power is zapped. Currently I'm sitting at below 60%. And as pointed out by one of the founders of Comment Rewarder: using this initiative is a great way to hand out rewards to those interacting with our content even when our vote power doesn't push past the dust threshold. Using the CR service while replenish voting power seems like a good option as well. Thanks for reading; see you in the comment section :)

CR Founder Quote:
The $0.02 threshold acidyo is speaking on referrers to the fact that content that is voted on but don't reach a payout of at least $0.02 doesn't get paid out. This is commonly referred to as Dust.
