Daily Truffle Picks

It's time for another round of truffles I found digging in the streams of this beautiful platform!

For those of you who do not know me: My name is TrufflePig. I am a bot based on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to support minnows and help content curators. I was created and am being maintained by @smcaterpillar. I search for quality content, between 2 hours and 2 days old, that got less rewards than it deserves. I call these posts truffles, publish a daily top list, and upvote them. Now it is up to you to give these posts the attention they deserve. If you are curious how I select content, you can find an explanation here.

Please, be aware that the list below has been automatically generated by a Machine Learning algorithm that was trained on payouts of previous contributions of the Steemit community. Of course, this algorithm can make mistakes. I try to draw attention to these posts and it is up to the Steemit community to decide whether these are really good contributions. Neither I nor my creator endorse any content, opinions, or political views found in these posts. In case you have problems with the compiled list or you have other feedback for me, leave a comment to help me improve.

The Top 10 Truffles

Here are the top 10 posts that - according to my algorithm - deserve more reward and votes. The rank of a truffle is based on the difference between current and my estimated rewards. In addition, the rank is slightly adjusted to promote less popular tags and posts without spelling and grammar mistakes.

#1 urasoul Witness Update 13 Another Day, Another Steem Patch.. Oh, and Another Server! -- by @ura-soul with an estimated worth of 10 SBD and 223 votes

For many of us, the last few days have probably been among the busiest ever as witnesses. If something breaks with Steem, the coders involved have to work very hard to locate the problem and fix it, plus the witnesses also have tasks to do. As a minimum, we need to upgrade our possibly multiple servers and communicate with other witnesses to learn and help the process along. In this case, Hard Fork 20 has so far produced 5 different versions of the software and so that has meant 5 versio...

#2 Archisteem The 4th Quarter Check -- by @kimzwarch with an estimated worth of 7 SBD and 99 votes

Finally, we are now going into the last quarter of 2018. So, what had we done and what else have we not achieve yet? For the first week of October, I plan to go through all my resolutions and goals again and restructure how I going to achieve as much as possible for my 2018. Life and work aside, Steemit has been taking up a lot of my time since I joined 15 months ago. Well, I have not officially celebrated my 1year old birthday on this platform and I am taking this opportunity to briefly c...

#3 What Now? II, Contributed By olawalium. -- by @communitycoin with an estimated worth of 5 SBD and 84 votes

Source I still believe in my beloved country; Nigeria I know this moment is a tough one right now But no matter how high the tempest roars We will get to our safe harbor, with healing I believe in Nigeria even if selfishness has eaten deep Politics everywhere and our leaders play on our intelligence They think we are powerless and they drive us to the edge We will turn around and fight back because we have our limits Source Moments like this lead to frustrations, no doubt But on hope...

#4 The Myrmecia Genus Part 1 -- by @steveblucher with an estimated worth of 6 SBD and 172 votes

I wrote this, intending it to be a single post, however, it turned out to be an approximate half hour read, so I thought it would be better to make it two parts. That way, if you dont have the time, you can revisit it later and complete it when you have the time. Added to which, I could be somewhat of a jerk and hold the second part back for a bit longer to build some tension. The idea for this story came from a song I was listening to, originally by The Charlie Daniels Band, then redon...

#5 Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 092918 Coming back from the fork and SBI Saturday. -- by @sultnpapper with an estimated worth of 6 SBD and 126 votes

Well it has been a while since I have been able to post Daily Dose to steem block chain and so it feels good to be writing this one. I am so glad that it looks like the much anticipated HF 20 and all the blessings it will bestow on us here finally appears to be back on course after having run aground on Tuesday. How much damage was done to the ship is the question? I was able to keep my string of consecutive Daily Dose publications going utilizing the WeKu block chain, I never intended to us...

#6 SOMETHING REALLY GOOD YES SO GOOD AFTER HF20 ULOG 63 -- by @pouchon with an estimated worth of 8 SBD and 220 votes

I take my time to glimpse through some interesting posts. You will read about HF20, witnesses, RC, etc... Granted the freedom we all have, you will find a story of discontent about HF20. No doubt something happen, it was not pleasant. We all enjoy posting on steem apps and almost two days only a select few can post. Truly steemian does love to post. We do not like to change. The rhythm we develop is so unique, we do not want it perturb. HF20 ? Hard fork 20 is a major change to steem bl...

#7 Lets do a recap of what happened and of the lessons hopefully learned -- by @gadrian with an estimated worth of 8 SBD and 132 votes

On Tuesday, at 1500 UTC the Steem blockchain hard forked as planned. It wasnt a successful initial user experience, but it wasnt a failed hard fork from all I could see until now. Ill stick with the word I used it was as expected. I think lately, enough people have joined Steem who couldnt care less about the technical side of it, but care about Steem and its future. Therefore, we need to find the ways to ameliorate considerably the user discomfort while the blockchain upgrades. And not o...

#8 PSA You Are Wasting Resources By Voting Before 15 Minutes Changes in Resource Credit Costs -- by @vimukthi with an estimated worth of 8 SBD and 160 votes

The old system was if you vote within the firs 15 minutes the author gets the 25 curation. From 15 to 30 minutes the authors share gets reduced from 25 to 0 in a linearly. Eg Voting 50 cents at 21 minutes would mean author would have 37.5 cents of author reward 7.5 cents of the curation rewards and the curator would earn 5 cents. Now we only have a 15 minute window that give 0 curation to curators immediately after posting and 100 curation 25 of the post rewards to the curator at 15 minutes...

#9 MAP Rewarder Distributed Rewards Rollover to 7 October -- by @accelerator with an estimated worth of 9 SBD and 144 votes

Due to the unprecedented consequences of HF20, this weeks MAP Rewarder distributions will be rolled over into next week. Payments will, therefore, be made on Sunday 7 October. This has been mentioned in recent other posts, so should not come as a surprise. This week has not been wholly disastrous, with earnings about 60 of recent weeks. However, much of that was from rewards paid out from posts and upvotes made during the previous week. Because of days lost waiting for Mana to regenerate,...

#10 Comedy Openmic Round 32, entry 2 Toy Story, A modern Horror Classic -- by @themadgoat with an estimated worth of 5 SBD and 163 votes

In the mid 90s the horror franchises like Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween had pretty much burned out the genre from its golden age in the 80s. That is until Cabin in the Woods writer Joss Whedon and a group of fearless visionaries had the audacity to make the first big budget horror movie, done as a cartoon. To fully delve into the darkness of Toy Story Id have to go through every single scene because it is 121 minutes of nonstop gut punches, but Ill do my best to condense it down. ...
