Can someone explain how the estimated rewards on the leaderboard work. Not complaining here but slightly confused as to why estimated rewards were higher when I wasn't even online then after I spent the last two hours zapping, posting, commenting, replying.

I have a post on the hot page and was the first to zap and comment on two other hot posts.

I don't get it.

It's a mystery. I tried to understand it few days ago , but I gave up.
It's rigged anyways πŸ˜‚

Siggy is going on vacation to give the rest of us a chance.

In the last week I think I need to slow down posting.
But with this MSM are always poping up good posts and I can't resist.
Always comes to my mind this meme πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Siggy has a beard. I don't know who that guy's supposed to be.

reply

Is the real Siggy, the lawyer.
The beard one is his nym :)

Dang. So, his beard is a beard.

You admit it πŸ˜‚

I'm pretty sure estimated rewards are based on rank and total prize pool.

Each rank has a certain share of the reward pool (I even seem to remember seeing the breakdown posted somewhere on SN).

So there are only two things that change your estimated reward: the prize pool getting bigger or your rank changing.

You may zap or post like a champ, but if someone else is zapping and posting to a more champion degree, you might see your estimated reward fall.

At least this is how I think it works in my fuzzy head.

yes, here is the secret formula for each rank #445483

Thanks for sharing.

That makes sense. I did drop down one place in the rankings.

reply

Looks like you are correct. I jumped back up 1 spot and my estimated rewards jumped by 13k.

reply

Uh oh, looks like you fell back down.

reply

Hard knock life. Actually went and did something in the real world. Won’t make that mistake again.

reply

I dropped something like 4 positions last night and I saw that others came with me. Someone else is climbing the charts. Its a fun little experiment though.

Based on our very fine detective work, remember to look two or three spots above where you are for your rewards estimate.
