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 How to Rock SteemMonsters While Remaining Stingy -- by @stortebeker with an estimated worth of 8 SBD and 395 votes

From the very first day when I decided to get into playing SteemMonsters I knew I had to be very careful about it. Knowing myself, I was aware of my tendency to to immerse myself fully into it for a while, until Id realize that it was not for me. In the meanwhile I would spend a bunch of money, which Id later regret. On the other hand, there is no point and no fun in playing a losing game, so I had to find a balance.If you are thinking about getting into the game, or if you have just done s...

#3 Steem Late Vote Explorer 2.1.0 -- by @sisygoboom with an estimated worth of 8 SBD and 143 votes

Steem Late Vote Explorer SLVE is a tool I designed to visually represent and track lastminute votes in the interests of education and abuse detection. It is built with customizability in mind and can currently stream the blockchain to show a live feed of lastminute votes, it also has a resident GUI which is currently incomplete. Initialisation directory was being overwritten by working directory When creating a new AbuseDetection instance, if a user had passed a directory para...

#4 GIMP Series Introduction, First Person Experience And A Case For OpenSource Part 1 -- by @igormuba with an estimated worth of 5 SBD and 166 votes

Not long ago, I was a heavy Windows and MS Paint yes, mock me user because that was what I was used to since I was a kid, I grew up around windows PCs and most of the light image editing I had to do could be accomplished with the onboard editor, for some more advanced tasks Photoshop was my goto choice, but it was not something I would have to use frequently, I am not a graphic designer by any means, far from that actually! But when I started investing, both time and money, more heavily...

#5 Has SteemMonsters gone from Pay2Win to Pay2Play? -- by @incubot with an estimated worth of 5 SBD and 302 votes

NB This is not a rant, but rather a statement of the current problem according to me and offering a few solutions. SteemMonsters is still in BETA i.e. things are expected to changebe less than ideal, and hopefully the developers will listen to suggestions and tweak as we move along... and they have. However this last change has taken us backwards IMHO. All TCGs in fact most games where resources can be bought are Pay2Win. The guys with the most money will buy the best cardsmost goldfaste...

#6 The Exposure Triangle, Facetime Sleep -- by @jluvs2fly with an estimated worth of 6 SBD and 290 votes

Last night I received a call from my cousin in a different time zone who recommended that I buy the Canon 80 D. We had not spoken at length since I have been using my camera. He wanted to know how I was coming along and I told him that I was learning through trial and error but that I had signed up for a photography class that starts this month. My cousin started asking me all sorts of questions about my photographs, the exposure and ISO settings I was using, etc. I had to tell him that...

#7 How Engine Works -- by @shredz7 with an estimated worth of 6 SBD and 187 votes

Many of you reading the announcement post wanted to know how Engine works, so Im going to explain the high level concepts here. This is also very similar to how Steem Monsters, steemsmartcontracts, and steemstate work. If you havent read it yet, heres the Engine announcement post. The best way to show how Engine and softconsensus in general works I think is with an example. Alice wants to transfer 10 ENGN to Bob. She creates a transaction to the Steem blockchain saying transfer bob 10....

#8 Spectrum Economics in Seattle -- by @spectrumecons with an estimated worth of 7 SBD and 237 votes

Hi Everyone, I have mentioned in several of my posts that I went on a cruise up to Alaska. I went on this adventure with my sister, Gemma aka vegoutttravel.

#10 Appics, Steepshot, Partiko a review of posting on Steem via mobile device. -- by @metametheus with an estimated worth of 7 SBD and 248 votes

So I jumped onto the APPICS bandwagon in 2017 when I first heard about it, and got on the list for testing as well as the ICO 12 months ago. I liked the idea!!!! I finally got a chance to test as part of the soft launch, and over the last few weeks thats pretty much the only way Ive been posting on Steem. I havent been doing any writing, and Ive been flat out with work, so posting via mobile has been the only way I could stay engaged. Partiko has been a godsend as a reliable platform to...
