Cactus kingdom
Author: @liltammy
Curator: @lturner
-=- As Northern girl, I don't get too many chances to see the kind of sight @liltammy has recorded in this beautiful macro shot of a tropical cactus field. Her photo beautifully captures the warm sunny day and the intriguing geometric pattern of golden spines on a globe-like cactus at the forefront of a whole collection of similar plants. The photograph invokes the feeling of a calm summer day and the warmth is pretty welcome to those of us up in the frozen tundra! -=-
A January Tradition: Give Love Sigaboy, Philippines
Author: @qyugmo
Curator: @lturner
-=- @qyugmo gives us a rare glimpse into a celebratory gathering in the rural Philippines, including some heartwarming photography of children enjoying their special beach party and playing games recognizable to children around the world (I think I've played the cracker-on-the-nose game myself). A few strange and exotic sights include food served on giant leaves and a black pebble beach the water has formed into terraces. @qyugmo deeply enjoyed his day away from the city and we get to share vicariously in his experience of absorbing the joy and peace of a village gathering. -=-
State of Steem #15
Author: @reko
Curator: @nicnas
-=- Have you been so focused on just making money on the Steem network but never looked at the details of how it is performing relative to other cryptos? What about some interesting facts about the blockchain you love and adore so much. Well @reko shares his 15th addition of the State of Steem in this article. There are a couple of things you should check out on this post. First being the link to block'tivity. This site shows the amount of traffic on the networks and lists the most popular and how much stress is on the network. In the post it shows steem just below Eth. But by going to the site when I did I saw that Steem was in first in amount of usage. And the steem blockchain isn't suffering at all. Full steem ahead. He also shows graphs and comparisons of amount of transactions compared to the market cap. We have a lot of room to grow steemians. This is definitely worth checking out. -=-
Finally smoke-free: With these tips, cigarettes will soon be a thing of the past
Author: @jyotigujju
Curator: @nicnas
-=- Quitting smoking, or any addictive substance is not easy, but it is very important. @jyotigujju shares information (link) on how every cigarette will shorten your life expectancy as well as a list of ways to most effectively stop smoking. The tips are right on and I think this could be just what many need to stop this bad habit. -=-
Low-Cost Cryptocurrencies For 'Ripple-Style' Profits - Top Picks For 2018
Author: @mike314-0005
Curator: @nicnas
-=- With the costs of transactions on the bitcoin network growing higher and the transaction times getting worse along with them I have been recommending a different strategy to new investors. My suggestion is that they should look into the penny stocks of the crypto world. Here @mike314-0005 suggests a few that might be worth checking into and a look into way he believes they are a good choice. -=-

How do you get featured in our Curation Digest?
Submit a bid to @buildawhale for 2.000 SBD (Always double check @buildawhale main page for current minimum) 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 magnificent. 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.

We love to see community posts about @buildawhale. We pride ourselves in being different by not selling our votes outside of the bidding windows, manipulating 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.

Hello @themarkymark. I sent 30sbd to @buildawhale but didn't get the 6.44% upvote or any upvote that I was supposed to receive.
This was the memo: https://steemit.com/art/@lires/tifa-lockhart-or-lires-artwork-process-part-2-or-nsfw-or-fan-art
Hello! I just wanted to confirm something.
The tracker shows that @buildawhale refunds automatically,
Is this an error on their part or have you started to refund again?
Would appreciate some clarification on this.
