The Daily Sneak 6 March 2018 - with guest curator @chiefmappster
Welcome to The Daily Sneak!!!
Come for the crypto, stay for the community!
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 guest curator is @chiefmappster. He is a returning guest curator that always finds some awesome selections. We are pleased to welcome him back!
Hello @chiefmappster here. Been missing the opportunity to curate some awesome content on Steemit and what better way then to curate for the awesome Daily Sneak. My goal is to curate underappreciated content in this awesome Steemit community and get it the recognition they deserve. I have curated with OCD and BuildaWhale here on Steemit and am very passionate about helping people. Thank you to The Daily Sneak for the opportunity to help people. Namaste.
@retro-room with "Lets Look at Collecting Vintage Game Magazines..."
Wow! What a shot of nostalgia as @retro-room goes through some awesome retro video game magazines and shares such a cool window into the past. Love the original images and how @retro-room shares how these magazines intertwined with his own life. Thanks for sharing this awesome nostalgic knowledge with the community.

@tanyaschutte with ""Magical Floating Water...""
What a fun and informative science post from @tanyaschutte. @tanyaschutte explains an experiment you can do at home, to demonstrate an interesting water-related phenomenon. Love how easy the process is described and it's such a cool way to learn more about water and its properties.

@paradigmprospect with "Life Lessons on Honesty..."
Holy smokes, this is such a captivating personal experience story that touches on many life topics, especially honesty! I love how @paradigmprospect walks us through his experience. You can easily imagine the different scenes he is sharing. His storytelling is top-notch in my opinion, and this is such a warming story.

Conclusion
Welcome back to @chiefmappster! This is a great collection of very interesting posts. Stop by each post and let the authors know how amazing their work is. For submitting these selections and quality commentary, @chiefmappster earns 5 SBD today.
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!
Every Steemian that chooses to follow our trail will be sponsored by @josephsavage for 1 share in SteemBasicIncome! Thank you so much to the 9 members that are currently in the trail!
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!

Wow wow love ittt. Appreciate all the work you are doing. It can't be easy doing it.
Love the idea about the Curation Trail.
Much appreciation and respect
Curation Trail has been a little slow to get traction, but I will do another big push a little down the road.
Ah yeah I noticed a shift in the curation trails since last summer when everyone was apart of trails. Now it seems like pulling teeth sometimes to get people to join trails.
Hope the best for you.
Yeah, we got a few quick signups and then it petered off. I'm guessing that most people willing to join a trail have already picked a few to join and now they worry about their voting power.
Ahh yep yep seems like a reasonable conclusion. Much appreciation for all you do. If you ever want to brainstorm some ideas I am here to help.
Thanks. It's not a priority for me until I get all the automation in place for @steembasicincome, but maybe after that we can chat.
