GEOCACHING - Outdoor "hide & seek" activity you need to try!

Geocaching is like an adult scavenger hunt, where you are guided by GPS. It's a great way to get out of the house and interact (indirectly) with some fellow adventurers. Read this post by @gingergeorge to learn all about it and see some of the amazing places that geocaching could take you.

Seaweed Growth And Cultivation Procedures

I find it fascinating to see the different ways that homesteaders make their livings. In this post from @sabatini, we learn all about the cultivation of seaweed! Since I live in a desert, I will never need this knowledge, but it's still very interesting.

TrufflePig: A Bot based on Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning to support Content Curators and Minnows

Steem reward mechanism is supposed to be based on 'proof of brain', but what about proof of artificial brain? Since Steem is overrun with bots, here is a new bot that uses very advanced techniques to find and upvote quality content. I actually used its list to look for curation-worth posts today, and it worked very well. Read @smcaterpillar's post to learn all about how it works and decide for yourself whether it's daily list is a good source of things you should be reading.

Beyond the Ethics of Bot Voting | Steemit Beginner's Series

Bot voting is a very controversial topic on Steem, and as the whale-sharks get more aggressive, the controversy gets louder. Here is a very balanced post that looks at the issue from several angles, including ethics, profitability, and how use of bots may impact your potential to be discovered by major curation initiatives. See what @ameliabartlett has to say, and make your own decision about bot use a little more informed.

The most REMOTE community on EARTH.... Part One.

Long time readers may recall that I really enjoy travel posts. When my work schedule is too busy to get out and see the world... travel posts aren't anything close, but they're better than nothing. In this post @vcclothing explores Easter Island, with tons of great photographs. Check it out, and you may just add Easter Island to your travel wish list!

Conclusion

This concludes another great edition of The Daily Sneak. Each of these highlighted articles receives full upvotes and resteems from @sneakyninja, along with additional upvotes from our curation trail. As an added bonus, @sneakyninja sponsors featured writers for Steem Basic Income!

If you have previously submitted curation that was never published, please review the requirements and then try again! We are always please to welcome new guest curators, and to welcome back former guest curators.

Curation Trail

The Daily Sneak is pleased to announce our new curation trail! We have been thinking hard about how to boost the reward we give to featured authors while maintaining a sustainable program. We have been investing a lot in post promotion to power up the account more quickly, but there is only so much one person can do!

Now you can support The Daily Sneak in rewarding the great content that we find. If you appreciate The Daily Sneak and the content that we highlight, consider following our curation trail on SteemAuto!

As a reward to help kick things off with our curation trail, every Steemian that chooses to follow our trail will be sponsored by @josephsavage for 1 share in SteemBasicIncome! Thank you so much to everyone that has already joined!

Submission Requirements

On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:

1. You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
2. 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.
3. You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted.
4. Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
8. 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!
