The poisonous mentality of Entitlement
Author: @meno
Curator: @nicnas
-=- Sometimes it can be overwhelmed writing and posting on the Steem blockchain. No matter what site you use to post it. Then after all that hard work you are very underwhelmed with the rewards. Well @meno covers this process and our thinking behind it very well.
He makes you consider what your intentions are for writing and really helps change those thoughts. But the realization that this post was epic was when I got goosebumps. Sometimes you just cannot explain them.
This quote "I would like to think of my blog entry today as a friendly grip on the shoulders with a gentle shake." did it for me. It wasn't just for the article but how he wrote this piece. Just read it, the goose bumps are back again. -=-
HOW TO MONITOR YOUR BUDGET AND KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR MONEY
Author: @frugal-not-cheap
Curator: @juvyjabian
-=- This post is about giving a simple tips on how to handle personal financial liabilities. On the early part of the post, the author is talking about how hard it is to come up with a good budget for the family. Yes, he is right. Not everybody has given the aptitude to have a good budget for himself. Not all of us knows how to budget and not everyone needed to budget for themselves.
Budgetting is a very important thing if you wanted to makes things right with the financial flow of the family and even to personal gain. How important budgeting, is not a question because certainly it is very important and people believe that they don't need it, certainly because the money they have doesn't came from their own pocket or if it does, it does come from its own sweat. -=-
Easy way to get rid of slugs and snails in the garden
Author: @darksandr
Curator: @juvyjabian
-=- This post from @darksandr is a tip on how to get rid slugs and snails in the garden. I didn't know this until I read this post. Lots of people most of the time when getting rid of these creatures out from their garden, they certainly buy pesticides and other killing chemicals. This post is telling us that there's an easy way to do it now. We don't need to spend money buying those chemical.
Empty eggshells is the answer. Slugs and snails are afraid of eggshelss, they could not crawl on top of it for reason that we still need to research. This is worth a try, there's nothing to lose after all, empty eggshells were just thrown away in the garbage. So time to collect all the empty shells from your neighbor, dried it up, grind it and sprinkle it around your plants. See the difference. -=-
Hoteling yearly for free with IHG
Author: @frugal-not-cheap
Curator: @lturner
-=- Do you tend to travel frequently? @frugal-not-cheap offers a review of a credit card tied to the Holiday Inn Express hotel chain, citing the reasons why the chain itself is a favorite and the pros and cons of having the card associated with it. -=-
Can The Block Chain Save The Income Of Gaming Channels?
Author: @michellerhey
Curator: @lturner
-=- It seems as if every video game, online or private, has it's own currency and items that you spend a whole lot of time collecting. Until now, the only way those game items could become an asset in real life was if you could build a following on a place like YouTube where you might be able to monetize your videos of playing the game. Enter Engin, a new alt-coin which has the potential to add huge value to experienced gamer's who may finally be able to take their tokens and items out of the game world and into the real world. Playing online games for profit? No longer as crazy as it would've once sounded! -=-
[Crypto]: ICOs The New Hot Way To Raise Money? The New Wave Has Already Begun ?
Author: @indcrypto
Curator: @juvyjabian
-=- Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is changing the face of the business industry. The post is talking about the changes that entrepreneurs are facing right now. Could this be the new era of business industry? ICO is making things easier for those who wanted to start a business. If before, anybody who wanted to look for stockholders and board members, they need to engage in a tiring presentation to prove to their audience that their idea will work and is perfect for the application.
Now, with ICO, you just have to prepare a website, a Whitepaper with all the ideas in it. Give your business a good name with a list of good names who are working with you, and you can have the investment. I know nothing about this ICO because I'm not a DEV but what I know is that lots of people are holding to it because its an easy money. But as usual, there are lots of scam coming from this ICO's.

Frozen leaves
Author: @always1success
Curator: @lturner
-=- @always1success has put out some stunning photography of a frosty fall morning, beautifully capturing sights such as frost-edged leaves and grasses. The delicate sparkle of the ice crystals transforms even mudane things into something very special and these pictures are worth a quick look.

Steemvoter @buildawhale
Adding @buildawhale to your steemvoter.com account will allow us to have more funds to pay our curators and to reach additional markets.

Donate Steem Power
Donating steem power to @buildawhale or @buildawhaletrail allows us to provide larger votes and will increase our trail service to further reward authors featured in our Curation Digest.

heya @buildawhale, i sent 15 sbd for a post but i dont think it received the upvote in the latest voting window
I sent a refund for 15 SBD, we cannot vote on posts older than 6 days 8 hours.
Why did I pay and did not get a vote?
I will send you a refund for your 0.500 SBD, the bid was too low for the bidding window.
Is 0.5 still the minimum bid? I did not find where it is stated otherwise.
In fact I still see it is 0.5 SBD.
Yes, but if it is a busy window 0.50 SBD can turn to dust (mean it is too low to make an effective impact on voting). I'm considering raising the minimum bid to 1 SBD so it doesn't happen. It was the first time it's happened but 0.500 SBD is really close to the threshold.
I am trying to keep it affordable for everyone.
I sent you 0.509 SBD before 7hour ago but I didn't get any upvote still
I'll send a refund, your bid was too low for the voting window. This doesn't happen except in rare cases where the vote is much lower than other votes. We are considering raising the minimum bid to 1 SBD if this happens again.
Refunding you 0.509.
earlier I also have sent 0.500 but did not happen uvote anything, why ..?
Our minimum bid is 1 SBD now.
We announced it yesterday.
I have sent a 0.500 SBD refund.
