The Daily Sneak 24 March 2018
Welcome to The (Almost) Daily Sneak!!!
Come for the crypto, stay for the community! We took a couple of days off, but we're back!
You can earn up to 5 SBD per accepted submission for guest curating The Daily Sneak. Submission requirements are published at the bottom of each edition of The Daily Sneak.
Today's curation is provided by @josephsavage. He is the project manager for @steembasicincome and the resident editor for The Daily Sneak. @josephsavage is trying to make Steem a more rewarding place for fresh new content!
Insect photography part 2 (w/action shots)
@jgullinese share some incredible macro photography, capturing a bee in motion as it visit flowers. Stop by the post to see the whole series!
Freewrite House Podcast - And a Chance to Win
@freewritehouse is a newer account that supports the #freewrite community. They are considering whether to launch a podcast, and asking for member feedback. And they are giving away shares in Steem Basic Income to people that stop by and give their honest opinions. That sounds pretty win-win to me!
Steem Witnesses, and why they matter!
Steem witnesses are like the 'miners' of Steem. But unlock bitcoin where the computers with the most hash power always win, Steem witnesses are elected by the members! @thekittygirl provides a great introduction to what this role means and shares some resources to help you choose which community members to support. And you can vote whenever you want; you don't even have to wait until election day!
BONUS POST! - NATIONAL PUPPY DAY!
I did not know it was National Puppy Day. But @kass-and-bax did, and took some time to celebrate with a photo-essay about her dog Baxter. Enjoy seeing the love of life on this silly dog's face!
Steem Update: "Communities" Are Coming
The Hivemind is coming... Sounds creepy, but as @dannyzen explains, this is the project name for some awesome new features that will be coming to Steem. Read all about them in this awesome post, and prepare to be optimistic about the future of Steem again...

Submission Requirements
On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:
- You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
- All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
- You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted.
- Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
- We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
- Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
- Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
- Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.
If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.
Submission Reward
A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBD for each accepted submission!
Right now @sneakyninja's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces!

Thank you so much for including us in the Daily Sneak!! It is always an honor to be featured!!
Thank you!!
You're welcome! You guys do great work.
Thank you so much!
Many thanks to you and @josephsavage for curating my post and helping to get this important information into the hands of those who might need it! I have already received much positive feedback, and even long-time Steemians have reported learning something! Thank you for helping with this effort!
You're welcome. Keep up the good work!
Good job
thank you master has given me information and i will be your loyal follower .... thank you very honest
@ sneakyninja good morning sorry I transferred him 0.50 yesterday they gave me nothing neither vote nor return of the money
@ sneakyninja: thank you very much, the return has been successful.
Hey buddy, I think you meant to send to @sneaky-ninja and you send to @sneakyninja instead. I know, confusing, right? But this is a curation journal, not a bidding bot, and we just sent your 0.50 back to you.
