I had been trying to solve some mysteries.
The terminologies such as Benefactor Reward and Author Rewards always confuse me, particularly in Leo Finance.
Let's solve the one on Author Reward.
The above shows some incidences of Author rewards. I realized they are rewards for comments on a post when I followed the link. This is the link for one of the Author Reward above:
I was merely commenting and I get Author Rewards. Nice!
Then somewhere down my list of records I also see Benefactor Rewards like the following.
Following the link, I learned that these are the rewards for the posts that I made: .
5.129 LEO sounds about right, i.e. 50% of the 10.26 LEO according to what is shown on my post.
But, wait a minute!
Is there a double reward there? I can see two lines of Benefactor Reward of 5.129 LEO. Is that a case of error? Or we do get double the reward when the beneficiary was set to the same account?
To get to the bottom of this, I need to go back to my old records when I named cryptothesis2 as the beneficiary whenever I wrote my posts. Such as this post:
On my cryptothesis2 account, there is a record of Benefactor reward of 1.455 LEO (50% of 2.91 LEO).
Indeed, on my cryptothesis account, there is also one line showing Benefactor Reward of 1.455 LEO awarded for the same post.
With this revelation, this mystery is solved.
We do get double the LEO when we set the beneficiary as our own account in Leo Finance.
This is pretty good!
I am curious about the reward system at the base layer now.
In the case of the Hive rewards for this post: , it earned me 5.07 Hive according to the indication on the PeakD site.
Let me verify it on the Ecency front end.
Wait a minute! What is going on here?
I see a Comment benefactor reward here, which is 11.011 HP. And also a Content Reward of 10.165 HBD?
More mysteries to solve for another day.
Do you have the answers?
