Announcing: Operation Curation Delegation
Hey everyone! I know the name sounds a bit silly but I wanted something catchy and with a funny abbreviation. I've been lucky to receive SP delegation for the curation work I've been doing on the platform and with the increase in users it is time to delegate it further onto newcomers and encourage curation of underrated authors.
I recently passed the Comment of the Day contest onto @awesomianist, mainly because I figured with my 2k followers my focus on a project like this would bring a lot more efficiency to the platform. Why that is and how it will work you can read below.
Logo created by user @kryptik.
I will be delegating 20k of my Steem Power to 10 new users (2k each) and then invite them to a steemit.chat channel where they will be able to link and nominate posts on the daily - one of those posts will be re-steemed by my account thus reach a bigger audience and most of the nominations will also be supported by my votes and trail.
To be able to apply as a curator for OCD you need to check if you can fulfill these requirements.
- Be new to the platform (3 months old account max)
- Have max 2k SP of your own (so the delegation has a bigger effect on you)
- Have the time to look for posts by newcomers and nominate 1 of them per day for a re-steem and voting support.
- Have the time to read up to 10 other nominations submitted by the other curators daily.
- Use Steemit.chat
If you feel this is something you can do, then read further into the guidelines of the project
Guidelines
- The Curators are allowed to link 1 nomination per day (24h) in the designated Steemit.chat channel
- Which one will get re-steemed will depend on amount of "thumbs up smileys" it has received from other curators
- You can only "thumb up" one nomination per day and it can not be your own
- In the case of more than one post getting same amount of "thumbs up" I will be re-steeming up to 2 different nominations per day
Payout Distribution
- Once a week there will be a Compilation post of OCD with all the re-steemed winning nominations included in it
- 30% of the SD from that post will be shared among all 10 Curators, 30% among the curators that linked the winning nominations
Rules
- The nominations have to be of authors who are new to the platform, max account age of 3 months (which will be kept to 3 months after each new month)
- If you are found abusing the nominations in any way (sockpuppets/being bribed) you will lose your delegation and a new curator will take your spot
What's in it for you as a Curator of this project?
Beside the 2000 delegated Steem Power you will receive, my votes will also boost your curation rewards since they will follow your nominations and the bonus weekly share of Steem Dollars will be sent to your account.
I hereby also encourage others who want to delegate Steem Power to active new curators to add it to the pool of my 20k Steem Power and delegate it evenly amongst the 10 curators once they are chosen.
Since this announcement post will also be the one choosing the Curators, I thought that users vouching with a comment as a reply to the curator signing up for this is more fair than going by votes. I see many issues with votes being the deciding factor since many like to vote with curation trails and even @randowhale lately.
Please reply to the curators signing up for this with a "vouch" and only one vouch per account is allowed. Obvious sockpuppets and inactive accounts being brought to life just for vouching this won't be accounted for.
(I reserve the rights to change the rules if needed and increase amount of curators with user growth)
Great idea. Love to apply for it since I already made some effort in helping newcomers and developing for steem.
Vouching for fresh developers! ;)
YES, VOUCH....

Great Idea. I want to be a part. I feel happy to encourage new authors to platform.
.. by helping out the @curie team and through the Steem-Trail project, but it would great to have a team of 10 currators also assisting me.
.. by helping out by devoting a good amount of time to the https://steemit.com/@steemtrail project and periodically submitting posts to @curie. It would great to have an additional 2k in Steempower to help me in my efforts.

You know I have been talking to you about this for a long time.
Even if I joined 5 months ago I have only been active since the last two due to my exams and other stuff. Apart from the first rule, I an eligible for the all the rest.
I'm active for a lot of time in a day.
I really want to become a curator.
And the 2k sp will really give me a boost.
Please vouch for me if you want me to be a curator!
Vouching for diversity! ;)
Thanks mate.

Hello @acidyo, I would like to apply as curator.
We will be focusing on posts made by (but not only) Mexicans. This account just started 2 days ago and we are still focusing in identifying the mexican accounts. We roam the introduceyourself tag very often.
Our intention is to boost mexican newcomers and support quality work from these authors. I don´t think i have a lot of people to vouch for me since this account is brand new.
My personal account is @anomadsoul and I opened this mexico-trail account to support my country´s community. My brother, who is waiting for his account to be activated, will also help me curate the best contect he can find. I think between the both of us we can manage to stay active and navigate the tags to find good and quality content.
I hope you consider this nomination even though we might not have a lot of vouches.
Best regards.
Vouch for Eric!

Muchas gracias @rogeer en cuanto sepamos si nos dieron el Steem Power haremos un post para explicar que haremos con eso para impulsar a nuestra comunidad. De antemano gracias por el apoyo incondicional. Saludos!
Y qué pasó Si ganaron
Acabamos de hacer un post al respecto :D
Vouch!
Why would you vouch on yourself lol. I'm not just blindly going to choose the accounts with most vouches.
Hahahaha I know! It was my way of showing I was crapping you not about @anomadsoul being my personal account. I thought it seemed that way given that I vouched literally ten seconds after I posted the comment XD
Not trying to punk you lol
Ah lol, couldn't see that reading it now.

Gracias @argih! Pronto habrá noticias de la comunidad. Estamos construyendo la manera en la que vamos a votar y elegir las publicaciones para que sea lo más transparente e incluyente que se pueda con este nuevo HardFork que acabamos de vivir en Steemit! Gracias por tu apoyo! En cuanto sepamos si tenemos el Steem Power que nos delega Acidyo avisaremos la manera en la que se va a utilizar! Saludos!
Solo espero que no terminen como el trail de fotografía, que tiene cientos de upvotes y deja a los creadores originales sin los mismos, es completamente obscuro en la distribución del sbd conseguido y tiene decenas de curiosas transacciones hacia poloinex
La idea es hacer una publicación diaria o cada dos días que incluya los posts por los que se votaron. Con el SBD que se genere se harán challenges para transferirlos a los ganadores y el Steem Power se conservará para ir agregando poder de voto a la cuenta de mexico-trail.
Esa es la idea.
Primero necesitamos ver como se desenvuelve la comunidad con este HardFork y además ver si contamos con el apoyo de los 2,000 SP que probablmente nos de @acidyo
En cuanto sepamos si contamos con ese poder decidiremos la estrategia y les avisamos :)

Thanks nepd :-) Your support is appreciated!
I would like to sign up as a curator! I have not yet used the chat, but will be signing up for that as soon as I return to the states on Friday. I am on steem throughout the day, my wife would say maybe a little too much, and I am also a member of a minnow support project that gives me access to many quality posts from minnows. I've only been active on steem for just under a month, but through my activity I have already gained a strong following of over 170 followers. I hope you will consider me as a curator as I am a strong believer in the purpose of steem and it's ability to provide quality content to others.
mk40 would be a great curator of minnow posts!

(to make a start ;)
Thanks so much, all I really do is look for quality posts so it should be right up my alley, would definitely take it serious trying to support my fellow minnows!
Vouching for Max usage! ;)
Hahah, I'm a sucker for good puns!
Go mk40 vouch
Thanks so much!
I wish I had the 2k steempower... I joined in August 2016, but wasn't cool enough to stay. I became active again in May, 2017.
I am full time online and I am curator for @steemtrail. I will be glad if you consider me please.
take lucashunter, he is good guy! :)
Thank you for the recommendation @eirik, you are a good guy too.

I recently took over curation of the science-trail, before this week it had 20 sp and hadn't been touched in 7 months. It has only been operational now for about a week, would this count going forward as within 3 months new, or is the account too old regardless? Great initiative though! The support for the community generated with this project will be great.
