My biggest concern about participating in Utopian.io - Do I have anything worthwhile to contribute?
I was trained as a programmer, but have not ever been a great programmer. Much of the open source GutHub scene is lost on me... I really enjoy and benefit from many open source projects coming out - but what can I contribute? I’m not a very strong programmer
I can do some graphic design, but usually my creative talents are limited to modifying and mash-ups of others work - into a new graphic for my use and purposes
My focus abs strength is marketing and promotion! Not merely social media and newer digital marketing channels. But also traditional marketing, multichannel marketing, guerilla marketing, and exploration of new ideas that serve clients and partners
So - for those active in the open source community - does it seem I have something to contribute?

Well this post is not really about what you can contribute to Utopian yourself. However, as you are already asking, you can do tons of different topics. Analysis, translations, documentation, visibility, tutorials, video tutorials, bug hunting and suggestions - none requires coding or graphic skills.

This is great! I love the concept of Utopian-1UP in a wholesome sense!
You are helping curate the best posts coming out of Utopian.io as the scale of posts continue to explode and the bot has a harder and harder time defining value, while almost guaranteeing a high curation reward!

I will be setting a separate account just to follow the 1UP trail and vote exactly as you do, and write a report after 7 days!

May I ask how you intend to scale your curation efforts?

I love this effort! Nice innovation!

nice idea!

Some bugs can be explained literally in a single sentence which makes those contributions "quick money posts". But that doesn't have to mean those are low quality posts. What do you think about those kind of contributions? Will you just skip them since author didn't spend much time on those?

Another topic:

The tag #utopian-io has already the highest payouts on the entire blockchain

I might be getting what you meant wrong but when you sort by highest payouts on tags page #utopian-io tag is the 132nd there and far from the highest. What did you mean by that?

Steemit has filtered the tag out I think because it was dominating the trending and hot category. You can check one of the analysis posts on Utopian and see for yourself the huge difference to number two.

Will I upvote bug reports? Most likely not except they are super important/urgent and wrapped in a well created post. My trail will be hitting only a few selected posts. Bug reports have only a small Utopian upvote anyway and are from the curation reward perspective uninteresting as well.

Okay it looks like #utopian-io is not the winner in the tags page because that page shows all time total and #utopian-io is a relatively new tag.

Analysis link for the curious.

@flauwy 3rd one :D in the trail :D

Utopian-1UP is rewarding high quality Utopian posts before the bot. 10% of voting power/day.

Awesome! Welcome to 1UP Utopians!

I'm already with the team : PpP

Thanks for sharing!

yes i liked the idea @flauway

This is a great initiative. I'll love to join the trail.

Cool, go for it. Let me know if you need help or anything.

I'm still learning about all things steemit, but as I recently posted my own utopian-io suggestion and received a much higher payout than I'd anticipated this seems like a great trail to follow. Not that I know much about trails anyway either - but I'm curious to learn more how this all works. I am now following @utopian-1up on steemauto :)

Awesome. Trails are basically just automatic following of upvotes. If you have a trustworthy trail that can a really cool thing.

Great, thanks for setting this up!

Good step taken, was looking for a curation trail to start the curation journey, either :) Luckily, found the best one to start it, right away. Thumbs Up and wish you come out to be the best trail for the best Quality Posts! Joined and ready to take the Flight! Between loved the new Elephant puppet. Great going

Hey thank you. The Elephant says hi. :)
