@happyme may i ask you another question. it has been puzzling me for a while.

Sure! Why not? I'll try my best to answer.
on my author rewards - most of them are comments, as i have made only one post, i get messages such as below. can you tell me if am interpreting it correctly.
0.013 SBD, and 0.011 STEEM POWER for marionjoe/re-pertiqoues-re-marionjoe-re-pertiqoues-hello-steemit-i-am-derin-and-i-from-aceh-20170529t074401792z
i have earned 0.013 SBD from @pertiqoues for commenting on the post: hello-steemit-i-am-derin-and-i-from-aceh-20170529t074401792z
so then i go to the post, and it does not mention 0.013 anywhere on the converstation - just so where did the money come from? how did i earn it?
The earnings indicator on posts and replies only goes to 2 decimal places, so anything less than 1 cent will show as zero. When you made the reply, it likely showed nothing, but then someone else liked your reply and voted on that. When you add up all the tiny fractions of upvote cents, they show up as your pay-out after 7 days have passed.
ok, i do not fully get that, so i will take notice when i next comment on a post.
There is actually more to it than that. The numbers are only an ESTIMATE of what will be paid. When the final day comes everything is then re-calculated and the pie (the reward pool) is cut up and distributed based on the final calculation, not the estimate. I wouldn't pay too much attention to those estimates except to know very roughly what can be expected. In the end, your curation rewards are always split between SBD and Steem, so you get half to each.
That is correct, except that technically, you didn't receive it FROM pertiqoues, but rather from commenting on the post BY pertiqoues. All money comes from the award pool that is generated daily by Steem.
Now here's the BIG question: What happens when they stop generating steem (when it reaches its cap)?
ooooooooooo spooky ...... i wonder ... i see what you mean.
how did you do that quote?
