Curie Comment Contest
Earn Steem by leaving good comments on posts upvoted by @curie!*
*Only posts which receive a @curie vote through Curie curator/reviewer operations are eligible for this comment contest. PLEASE NOTE the @curie account casts many upvotes which are not part of Curie curator/reviewer operations. See below for two methods to tell what posts have been upvoted by Curie through curator/reviewer operations:- Visit becquerel.io to see a record of the most recent posts upvoted through Curie curator/reviewer operations and leave thoughtful comments on them for your chance to win!
- @curie also leaves an automated comment on all posts upvoted through Curie curator/reviewer operations, so alternatively you can visit the @curie blog comments to find eligible upvoted posts to comment on.
How do I sign up?
There is no need to sign up. Simply commenting on posting upvoted through Curie curator/reviewer operations makes you eligible for the Curie Comment Contest.The contest week will run from Sunday 15:01 UTC through Sunday 15:00 UTC
Curie will use an algorithm that evaluates comments on both quantitative and qualitative metrics. This means that in addition to the number of Curie-upvoted posts that you comment on, the quality of your comments will also factor into the score. In addition we will look at other metrics designed to measure engagement with the authors that Curie upvotes.
THE EXACT ALGORITHM AND METRICS USED TO GENERATE THIS SCORE WILL NOT BE REVEALED TO HINDER ATTEMPTS TO GAME THE CONTEST
That being said, one of the most important metrics is simply the number of Curie-upvoted posts commented on during the contest week. For reference, here are the top 20 commenters by # of posts commented on for this contest week (you can tell by comparing this list to the actual placements below that there are other factors that go in to the contest scoring).
Continued interaction with Curie upvoted authors beyond the initial post commented on is another factor. So remember to follow the authors and comment on their new posting as well to score the maximum number of points!
Win up to 15 Steem!
Curie Comment Contest winners will be announced in a weekly post.

Spam Comments will NOT be rewarded
The comment history of all winners will be manually reviewed for spam before any prizes are paid out. Short generic comments that could have been left without reading the post will not qualify for the Curie Comment Contest. Examples of spam comments include (but are not limited to): "Nice post"; "I like your post"; "Nice picture"; "Good song"; "Great story", etc.
EGREGIOUS SPAM COMMENTERS WILL BE REPORTED TO STEEMCLEANERS
A few words of advice on leaving good, thoughtful comments
- tell the post author what in specific you liked about the post, why you liked it and/or how it made you feel. If your comment is so generic that it could have been left without reading the post, it will not qualify for the Curie Comment Contest.Weekly Winners!

Hey, thanks for the prize! I had fun commenting and got to meet some neat people this past week.
That is exactly what we love to hear :) This really is a win win
Congrats to everyone, amazing way to make othervise unseen posts, actualy seen and get the exposure their quality posts deserve.
Thank you for all the care for us minnows, sardines and golden fishez, Steem on! :)
I like that. I think I am a gold fish :)
Thank you for the honorable mention Curie.
I'll try to get my RC up more to keep up with the new approved posts. Drained a lot of it during the first day.
Aww buddy I hate to hear you are running into RC crunch. I delegated you 50 SP. Cheers
Thank you so much @carlgnash :D
I'm constantly budgeting my RC and debating with lengthy thoughtful replies or just minimize engagement to conserve RC for other activities. I'll never survive past day 2 with the previous RC I had.
Thanks for the honorable mention! Love the contest. It's been such a great way to explore all the high quality content on Steemit and be recognized in the process. I appreciate all you guys do and look forward to moving up in the ranks ;-)
That is awesome to hear :) I noticed some really nice comments from you as I was reviewing comment histories of winning placements this week :)
Thanks, @carlgnash! I kept looking for ways to get more engaged, even have more recognition for my posts, and this really seems to be the best way I've come across. I was able to find some connection with pretty much everyone I interacted with and sometimes in the strangest ways. Like having visited towns that people were posting from or knowing someone who has detailed the knife making process. It really opened my eyes a bit more to everything steemit has to offer.
