The Daily Curie (09-10 Jan 2017)

Introduction

Curie is a community project run by several Steemit authors. Our mission is to help discover and reward new content creators who are posting all sorts of original content, and give them the exposure that they need. In partnership with @nextgencrypto, @berniesanders, @val, @silversteem, @clayop, @hendrikdegrote and @kushed, Curie aims to provide rewards to these deserving authors whether they are writers, artists, chefs, photographers, videographers, and more.

In full transparency, you will be able to find a published list every day detailing all the posts that Curie has chosen by our curators. At the same time, our hope is that this list will provide more positive exposure to the selected authors. We invite curators to submit hidden gems at #curie on Steemit.chat.

We hope that you will consider following not only this @curie account, but also many of the authors whose work is featured here each day. Please consider adding your comments on these posts also! You can follow @curie's outgoing votes to see our curation in real time and donate your votes.

Yesterday, we tried out declining payout. However, the community unanimously and overwhelmingly disagreed with this idea, and supported continuing accepting payouts for Daily Curie. Striving to reach the best compromise, we have decided to accept payouts, but put a cap on rewards at 0.5% of the reward pool. Additionally, all posts will be 100% powered up so the funds from today's posts will be used to finance operations in April, effectively. Long term, we intend to decline payouts as soon as it doesn't compromise the project.

As a clarification, 100% of all rewards - including SP - are used to fund Curie. The account @curie is in full power down as we have communicated previously. 100% of said funds are paid out to the hundreds of curators submitting posts, the staff processing them, and various other expenses such as software development, server expenses, proxy account acquisition, etc. All transactions are completely transparent and visible on @curie's wallet.

We hope this is an acceptable compromise from all perspectives, and we'll continue listening out for feedback.
