Steemit: The Curation Leagues - 10 STEEM in Prizes available!
Hi all!
We are now settled for a week in the Bay of Mangos and so this post is being written in comfort and with secure Wi-Fi, over-looking a pool with blue skies above - yay!
10 STEEM in prizes is available by stating your interest below. You will be entered into both leagues, which are probably best called tables, as they are reset each week.
On your marks, get set, curate!
Introduction
My general views on maximizing curation rewards are:
Voting in the first minute will earn you a curation reward of almost 0.000
Voting between 1 and 29 minutes will earn an increasing % of the curation rewards split, this value peaking at 30 minutes and remaining the same from this point onwards
The goal is to get in prior to the big hitters, but not too early!
It is commonly suggested that 20-25 minutes is the 'best' time to vote (especially on known 'power author' posts because they are likely to have more auto-votes coming in at these times - and you want to be ahead of these votes)
A vote of equal weight and equal Steem Power at 30 minutes will give more reward than a vote at, for example 1 hour - first come first served, but don't arrive to early :)
Voting on good dtube content and utopian-io approved contributions (prior to the vote by @dtube / @utopian-io can earn some very good curation rewards
As you can see, a combination of many variables such as Steem Power, voting strength, voting weight, and time of vote, (and more) all play a part in the amount of rewards received.
My general opinion on maximizing engagement is:
- Spread your vote and write lots of comments on the blogs of others!
The data for league 1
The raw data has been collected from SteemSQL - @arcange's MS SQL Server copy of the Steem Blockchain.
SteemSQL is now a monthly subscription service and so your support in this post is greatly appreciated!
The key formula used for 'quality of financial curation skill' is:
Curation Rewards DIVIDED BY Steem Power MULTIPLIED BY 1000
This will return the amount of Curation rewards gained per 1000 Steem Power held
The rules (which will cause auto-filtering of your account if not met so just enter anyway and see what happens!) to appear in this league:
Must have voted at least once on a piece of content in the past 7 days
Must not have leased or delegated Steem Power in the last 15 days
Must not have Started a Power Down (Withdrawal of Steem Power) in the last 15 days
The 2nd and 3rd points above are required to reduce distortion of the figures. And, as curation rewards for the past week are actually taken from votes made up to 14 days ago, we need a 15 day window as mentioned in these points.
Don't let this put you off entering though - you will be automatically excluded/appear depending on the criteria above.

The end column is what I think is a genuine indicator of how well you are financially working the curation game with the tools,including vested Steem Power, that you have at your disposal.

Amount of SP earned per 1000 Steem Power owned
This weeks' results:
( @curx 9.8, @zapncrap 5.64, and @biophil 4.06 removed for bots/trails sorry! )
@credo takes first spot this week, well done you guys!
@qsounds in the places again - 2nd this week!
@edje has worked his way up from near the bottom to make 3rd this week - well done you!
Well done to @samiwhyte, @r-bot, @greenrun, @choogirl, and @osm0sis!, who also performed very well this week.
- The average curation reward/Steem Power this week is 1.22, down a lot from 1.41 last week. Perhaps the focus is moving towards league 2 - nice!
Community Curation Excellence - League 2
This new league is not based around rewards and relates to engagement.
Everyone currently on my master list has a chance here - delegation dealings or not.
I've used some metrics (which is the fancy way of saying that made up some numbers) relating to:
- Comments (number and amount of text)
- Comments outside of your own blogs
- Up-votes to others
- Up-votes to unique others
- Self-votes (a minus score for this one sorry!)
- Witness engagement

Asher @abh12345
Oh WOW! Thank you @abh12345 for the honor!
Congratulations @gniksivart and @carlgnash ! And to ALL of the Curation League members! GREAT job!!
My goal is first next week @goldendawne ;). I've got to do at least 10% better this week and I think I can manage that. To friendly competition!
Yes.. to friendly competition!
I worked on the stats a little this week and whatever I did, you kept appearing at the top - awesome!
Thank you! ALmost like I'm stalking you and the stats!
Awesome feeling to wake up Sunday morning and see this!
Id like to be stalked by 10000 people wanting to see their stats!
Have a great day!
Congratulation for winning the contest. Scoring above 70 lakh in points requires a lot of effort.
Thank you! Not sure how I am actually doing it, but thrilled none the less
Congratulations as usual @goldendawne. You are amazing.
Though the competition is getting fierce, you are equally responding to that by topping the league again.
I hope you are having a nice weekend.
Wow, this was good. Almost came close to hitting the big league 😬😸
You do work hard for making all these happen. Congratulations to the winners and thank you @abh12345✌️
Thank you @greenrun!
I'm sweating like a cob out here to be honest, but the Wi-Fi is no good inside so I've had to make do! Well done in rising up league one AND league two - most excellent to be in the top 10 of each!
I believe the "heat" there is cold here. Lol. Internet problem is always a headache to contemplate. Oh yes, it feels great to hit the top 10 :)
Perhaps - I've drank a liter of water organising the above and still starting to feel dehydrated!
Well done again, great stuff!
Just the body trying to balance the water lost via perspiration :)
This is true, I'll crack another one open 😎
Wow some big ups to @goldendawne! Impressive score on the Community Curation League of Excellence! (btw I did sort out why my main account hadn't been showing up in the maximizing returns league, the inestimable @buckydurddle had slipped me a small sneaky delegation which I had totally missed in the shuffle - and this week I delegated SP to @teamgirlpowa so I will be out again next week as well :)
Good luck on your adventures Asher!
Hi Carl
Yes I noticed you'd be out this week - I did a personal check just to see why!
A great score in this weeks' league of excellence though :)
Thank you very much, it's a bit stressful at times this travel business - especially when your income relies on decent Wi-Fi and is at the mercy of Steemits curators!
Cheers!
Thank you!! Not sure how I do or did it! But WOW! I can really type and chat it up!
Congratulations to you too @carlgnash!
What's up, good morning man! Sounds great your actual office by the pool hehe
This week I think I've broken my record, 863320! That's nice! Still a long way to the top but I'll get there someday :)
Congrats to the winners, good job!
Well done mne!
Yeah dont worry about the actual figure too much - just the position in the league. Glad to see one of my delgates scoring so highly, well done!
@abh12345 thanks for keeping this up week to week. I'm honored to be able to hit 2nd place and it's amazing that it's been by such a "large" margin. I've been pretty frustrated this week by some things here on Steemit, but this is the encouragement I've needed to keep chugging along here on Steem. If you ever decide to stop doing this it whould be awesome how you put this together a guide on how you come up with this data? Even if you're not doing it I would like to track week to week to make sure I'm doing my best to improve engagement every week.
Thank you @gniksivart
I'm glad this post has provided some much needed encouragement!
Well done on your 2nd place this week, the absence of self-voting has served you well :)
If i do retire the league (no plans to in the near future for sure), I will write a post on 'how to' - Cheers!
Been delegating around again, so not in the list. But happy to see so many friends there. :)
As usual! Good on you again for that!
Congratulations to all the Winners who contributed with selfless efforts to make this community more powerful.
A big round of applause for Great Guy Asher aka @abh12345 who is really working hard to guide all of us what and how we contributed as whole.
Keep inspiring Asher, Keep boosting our level of confidence
I assure you together we are building the history ;)
My Support is always with you all <3
Stay Blessed, Steem On!
Thank you Salman, very kind words as always.
The folks mentioned in the 2nd league have done very well this week, the scoring was 'tight' and everyone did really well.
Thank you!
Indeed they have done really well; a huge appreciation for all the folks who is trying to bring quality day by day <3
Hi, appreciate you for the effort you have spent on this @abh12345.
As usual @goldendawne sits pretty at the top of league 2, congratulations :)
Good to see other moving up as well, congratulations to @gniksivart and @carlgnash.
And League 1 winners @credo, @qsounds and @edje, congratulations guys.
I am badly missing from these just because of the delegations in/out. Hopefully by next week, I will be ok to be included, I guess.
Thanks, good day to all.
I think you may be excluded next week too, as the delegations that, for example, occurred 7 days ago will still be effecting the SP curation rewards as for some of those days you will have more (or less) vested SP whilst up-voting.
Good luck for your return!
ah, ok.
That's a bit disappointing, but it's ok, to gain something, you have to loose something is right sentence for me for these 2 weeks I think.
:)
Thank you!!
and yes!!! Congratulations League 1 winners @credo, @qsounds and @edje!
Great news, @credo made the number one sport again in three weeks, this is a great achievement for me, I will try to still remain on top this week. @abh12345 thanks for this contest, The reward is helping me build my steem power too as every earnings from this contest have been powered up.
Another week of great curation
Yes, well done @credo! I'm glad to hear you are powering up the prize - this is great.
Thank you!
Thanks again @abh12345 for the details.
Good to see familiar names topping the chart again with some new faces too.
@goldendawne has done it again!!
Congratulations to all who are participating in this to week on week and competing.
As usual, many thanks to @fulltimegeek for being the showman for all of us with his SP delegation.
Keep steeming friends
Yes well spotted! A frequent high scorer is Dawne, what a star!
Thank you both! I am amazed at what I have been able to accomplish on steemit and see these stats and numbers just put it into perspective for me!
Well done @goldendawne!
