Hi Steemit community! I have a couple of questions about voting returns, and I can’t seem to find an article that already explains it. I am new to the site and have very little Steem Power, and want to know how that affects the returns on my voting.
I found this article by 
The article gives a few examples of voting returns, such as:
“if after you voted, the reward shows on a post became $100 from $0, and Ned up-voted after you, the final reward become ~$2500 (which is 50*50), distribution the reward is: author $1250, you $350, Ned $900”
However, my question is:
If after I voted, the reward shows on a post became $1 from $0, and if Ned up-voted after me, the final reward became $2500, what would the distribution of the reward be?
I guess my real question is:
Do I need to be buying Steem and powering it up to Steem Power in order to see a real return on my voting curation?
Thank you in advance for your help! (Also photo-credit to
