What is C²?

The Curation Collective, AKA C² / @c-squared, is a community intended for curators

on the Steem blockchain. Curators share curated links in the C² Discord server; C² voters review submitted posts for spam/plagiarism then upvote & resteem on the @c-squared community account.

Any individual or curation group is welcome to join C² on Discord and request the "curator" role:
https://discord.gg/B8JFmJ4

• There are currently 1653 members of the C² Discord community
• There are currently 213 active curators in the C² Discord community
• There are currently 35 active voters for the @c-squared community account
• C² currently supports English, Dutch, Filipino, Indonesian, Spanish & Turkish language posting, with plans to support more languages where there are multiple interested curators and an active community of posters producing content in the language. All non-English posting is reviewed by TWO curators who speak the language before upvote.

Partnership with @steemcommunity witness

C² is very excited to announce a partnership with the @steemcommunity witness, a witness project run by @abh12345 and @paulag. The @steemcommunity goals fit very nicely with C²:

• Empowering Curators, Community Leaders, and Minnows.
• Valuing engagement and positive interactions.

The "curation" part is an obvious fit, and C² also values and promotes engagement through weekly contests. This partnership has already yielded a 500 SP delegation from @steemcommunity to @c-squared to help the curation effort. C² and @steemcommunity witness are looking forward to helping each other grow and achieve our complimentary goals.

NEW C³ curation trail

We are excited to announce a new function of the @c-cubed account as an available curation trail at SteemAuto.com. Unlike the @c-squared account which upvotes 70-100 posts daily at an average of ~13% vote strength, @c-cubed will cast ~ 10 upvotes daily, all 100% strength votes, on the very best posting curated through C². @c-cubed is already available as a curation trail and voting on the account will begin in the coming week pending some development on the vote bot.

C² recommends that any smaller accounts wanting to support a C² curation trail should follow the @c-cubed trail. The 100% strength upvotes allow a vote trailer without much SP to still leave a vote above the dust threshold.

Curating the Curation Collective. Hmmm, that is C³!

@c-cubed will also continue to be a blog about C². You can expect to see updates about the C² Curation Collective, as well as semi-regular curation posts featuring authors upvoted by C², published on the @c-cubed blog.
