The Spectacular Architectural Beauty Of Amsterdam Netherlands
Author: @exploretraveler
Curator: @lturner
-=- There are many photographic posts on Steemit right now, but the best ones are those which tell a story and give information to give the beautiful photos meaning. @exploretraveler has created such a post and the discussion of the various types of architecture in Amsterdam gives each photo a depth of interest that kept me from simply skimming through for a few seconds and moving on. Brief but notable, each description highlighted points I would've never noticed and made this post absolutely worth reading. -=-
Visitation with Papa-Pepper Day #4 - Fun, Feast and Firecrackers!
Author: @truconspiracy
Curator: @juvyjabian
-=- A post from @truconspiracy sharing its experience visiting Pepper family. This was actually the day 4 oh his visit. It was Sunday and the neighborhood meet each other for the community meeting and shared their lunch meals. I don't know if others are also doing it in their community but @papa-pepper lives in a community that were people preserve the bonds of the neighborhood.
During the meeting, they sing a song ang play games and I believe they are have this sharing about their experiences and what's going on with their lives in the past week. It was also mentioned in the post that whenever somebody needed help to get things done, everybody comes for help. What an amazing community. A good example. -=-
Postcards from London England (Gringa Steemfest Travel Series: pt.1)
Author: @gringalicious
Curator: @juvyjabian
-=- Another travel post and this time its from @gringalicious. She is currently in London upon writing this post for the Halloween and is enjoying the adventure so much. Her post has lots of images, with the intention that she also wanted that steemit family will enjoy with her. Sharing every angle of the journey.
London is a good choice not just because of this good looking views but because of what is written about history. We also talk about history and its much satisfying if we could really visit the place physically. -=-
The competition is over!
Author: @sarmizegetusa
Curator: @juvyjabian
-=- A very good post from @sarmizegetusa that talks about life we have in this world. In her post, she said that the problem we are facing in this world is not really a problem, its a result of the thing called evolution of life. If only we udnerstand this evolution we will be able to understand life. Life is not about acquiring huge amount of wealth as what most people are doing. Too much desire of riches destroys humanity by making them all sad and unhappy.
Due to the pursuit of satisfaction, people are now turning against each other and have forgotten what humanity really is. People need to change, we need to change for the better. We could not find these changes from people who are in power because they will only it for their own good. Changes can be achieved from with ourselves. -=-

How do you get featured in our Curation Digest?
Submit a bid to @buildawhale for 1.000 SBD or more and collect your upvote. Our curation team will look through posts submitted through our service and pick our favorite posts. The amount you bid is not a factor in the choice of posts featured in our daily Curation Digest.
Our Curation Digest was built on the idea of rewarding good quality content and not low effort spam. By doing this, we build a stronger better community and support the future of Steem.
My creator @themarkymark (witness) and @buildawhale are strong supporters of the Steemit community and want to see it grow into something magnificant. The Curation Digest is built on that mentality. Reward awesome authors producing awesome content.
If you want to support our efforts, there are a few things you do to help us.
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. We would love to do native curation in native languages outside of English. We would love to go back to a 7 day schedule rather than the current Monday-Friday schedule we currently have for our Curation Digest. All the revenue from @buildawhale bidding & Curation Digest goes to growing @buildawhale Steem Power, Rewarding our Curators, and expanding our services.
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. Currently @buildawhaletrail is in our [PreVote Club] but when we have additional steem power it will focus exclusively on authors featured in our Curation Digest.
Write a post about @buildawhale
We love to see community posts about @buildawhale. We pride ourselves in being different by not selling our votes outside of the bidding windows, minipulating bids, and putting everything we get back into growing. Our new PreVote club rewards @buildawhale users with additional votes and allows Steemians to get valuable curation rewards. Our daily Curation Digest helps promote quality content and feature great authors. Our new partnership with @steemvoter.com will provide massive rewards to being featured in our Curation Digest. Let others know what we are doing and how we trying to be different and transparent.
Vote for @themarkymark as witness
As a witness @themarkymark has proven himself to be transparent, ethical, and technically competent. A witness vote helps produce funds to drive community driven projects.
Another great digest post. I liked @gringalicious post from London - gave it an upvote :-)
Hello @buildawhale. I did not see that you changed to 1SBD the minimum bid and send 0.8 SBD yesterday for upvoting my post. Got no upvote and no refund.
https://steemit.com/contest/@digitalking/croatia-greece-fifa-world-cup-play-offs-thursday-november-9
Had no other way to contact you... Please check it out. Thanks
Refund sent.
Thank you
thanks for your post. thanks for your information @buildawhale
!
You submitted your bid right after the window was closing.
You can confirm this by looking at the first comments in our recent voting round and when you sent the transfer. You will see they both say "23 minutes ago" (when I checked). So it was sent right on the line, it appears you are trying to avoid curation rewards and if you are trying to time it down to the second you will not have success everytime. The bid bot tools are not 100% accurate and generally off a minute or so.
On another note, 16 posts a day of a single photo?
!
You bid within the same minute of the end of the voting round. The bidding round closes before the new votes go out. You were extremely close (within seconds) but were past the window closing.
Trying to game the system and avoid curation rewards is not going to work reliably, especially if you do it down that close it is also a good way to scare away larger voters.
I cannot offer a refund as we didn't do anything wrong, you were just late. You are going to get a vote (I can't remove a bid and not have it vote, it will vote on all valid bids for a bidding window).
Thank you for explaining.
My friend, @buildawhale Here is a well deserved up-vote for you! I never forget anyone who helps me become stronger and you fed me with 11 STEEM and the last time you fed me was 10 days ago. Your effort meets my strength and enables me to help you and your friends even more!
Yours, Spinny
I like very much when everyone who feeds me also reads my friend’s posts, so please visit @sciack and read what he has to say! Your name will also appear here. :-) Join my Discord server if you want to meet others: https://discord.gg/Mz2EZP3
