• reward_weight — a weight of reward for a post.

• funds — total number of tokens in the reward pool.

• sharesfn — a share of tokens that allocated in the rewards pool to be used for reward for the post (this parameter depends on a weight of the post).

• rsharesfn — number of tokens that allocated in the rewards pool to be be spent on reward for all posts (parameter depends on total weight of all posts).
