Qurator Tiers and Upvote Weights Update - 13/02/2018 | 1000+ Members!
For more information on how to join Qurator click HERE
Welcome to the Qurator Tiers update!
As a member of @qurator we already know you post original content and we fully support original quality content, especially from minnows. We send out daily upvotes to all our Qurites if they post, but if they show some participation or invest in @qurator we feel they deserve some better rewards from @qurator. That's where Tiers come in. Below you will find all the members of @qurator and their respective tiers.
Upvote Tiers
In the past we said that T1 and T2 members need to upvote the Daily Qurator post to gain access to T1/T2. We have now changed this to all @qurator posts. Thus, if you upvote 7+ of any @qurator posts in one week you will gain access to T2 voting. For automated voting we suggest using Steemvoter
The 1% supporters/upvoters...
It has come to our attention that some users are taking advantage of the Upvote Tiers. The original rules were:
| TIER | Requirements |
|---|---|
| Upvoting @qurator 4+ times a week | Tier 1 |
| Upvoting @qurator 7+ times a week | Tier 2 |
This was mainly put in play to give Qurator more support towards earning SBD for leases. Most of the SBD we earn go towards our members with leases or payouts for competitions. There have been some members that do upvote our daily posts but by only 1%... this is not support though. We understand that every member has a different amount of SP though. Thus, we will be counting upvotes only if they are worth at least $0.01.
We know some members don't have a lot of SP and even their 100% upvote is not worth $0.01. We will still count your vote if we see a 100% vote even if it's below $0.01.
Below your can see examples of upvotes that will and will not count towards the Tiers:
1% = $0.00 will not be counted
100% = $0.00 will be counted
Any % = at least $0.01 will be counted
I know this might not sit right with some Qurites but the Qurator project cannot support all the Tiers if some users show us support with $0.00 upvotes while they can support the project and all members with a higher upvote. We are not asking for your 100% upvote. We just think it fair that we support the users who support the project and their fellow Qurites.
NOTE:The Upvote Tiers (1 and 2) are counted 12 PM UTC TIME ON MONDAY and if you failed to upvote before our count your Tier might be lower than expected. Upvote values also decline/change over a 7 day period before the post reaches payout. The time of your upvote might have been $0.01 but by the time the posts reaches payout the values are less/more.
This way we can award the T1-5 members more since they are actively supporting the project.
If you want to support Qurator more we suggest delegating or upvoting our Daily Qurator posts. This can be automated with Steemvoter (guide to set up a Steemvoter account HERE.
Delegation links:
| 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 |
After you click the link you will have to check the value, click next and then enter your steemit NAME and Private Active Key to delegate. Please remember to leave at least 50SP in your account!
What if I upvote and delegate?
YES, delegations and upvotes stack.
Example: Delegating 300SP and upvoting the Daily Qurator 7+ time a week will place you in a T5 membership slot.
Current Tiers with their Upvote Weight and Upvote Worth
Changes to Tier 0 upvote weights.
It has come to our attention that there are a lot of members that registered with Qurator, but that are not actively supporting the project's growth. This is not a necessity but is always much appreciated. We tend to give more support to those who return the favor. You are not just supporting Qurator but all 860+ members. Most of our profits go toward leases so any upvote helps all of us.
Tier 0 Members are not really active and we respect their choices. We are not forcing anyone to Upvote/Delegate. We just feel it is more fair towards supporters to get more rewards as a token of our appreciation for helping out the Qurator project. It's a group effort.
All Tier 0 members will be upvoted with the @qurator-tier-0 account. With the main @qurator account being close to 100K and not being able to upvote smaller than 0.5% the second account had to be created in order to support tier 0 members.
We currently have around 97 600 SP. We will be staying at 97K for the next few weeks unless we get some more investors or some more support from bigger upvotes. All the profits are now going towards renewing leases, we will not be getting any new bigger leases anytime soon.
| TIER 0 (upvotes from @qurator-tier-0) | TIER 1 | TIER 2 | TIER 3 | TIER 4 | TIER 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6% | 1.2% | 2% | 3.8% | 4.8% | 6% |
| $0.13 | $0.27 | $0.41 | $0.82 | $0.96 | $1.23 |
With all the tier 0 members being upvoted by @qurator-tier-0 the main @qurator account should see some better Voting Power regeneration and the upvotes will be worth more as the voting power recharges.
Calculated at 71% voting power via Steemnow.com
Upvote Weights might change depending on our Voting Power
Qurator Selfvote
Our account is now big enough that a selfvote will make a big difference in the long run. Most of our profits go towards leases and our members. Our selfvote will start this week, thus the voting weights will take a dip and then from next week the values should increase. With our selfvote and we can show extra support later on to all our members. We will do the upvotes near the end of our post payout to ensure all our members upvoting us will get some extra curation in. ;)

Thank you
We passed 1000+ members and Qurator is grateful and extremely proud of all of you awesome Qurites! We are growing fast and we have many changes and improvements coming! Thanks for all the support!
Your Quality Content Curator
Excellent! I am glad to see my name at the Tier 0 list. The absolute last one. I guess I am the newest member!
Yep, pretty new. Can easily climb the ranks to Tier 2 by upvoting @qurator posts. ;)
That is no problem if that works :) I am actually thinking about delegate some SP. The thing that I am unclear about is if delegation gives any daily dividend like minnowbooster?
It does not give a dividend, but it does give you bigger upvotes, that in a way counts as your dividends. =)
ayyy! us newbies in here :D Let's climb some tiers until next week
This is exactly how I felt after reading this post...
Booyah! Let's play!
Hahahaha....this is awesome!!!
i tried to look for my name but it makes me dizzy lol. but i can see im tier 2 in the discord. Thanks a lot for the efforts, you guys need a vote counting bot to help you ease the work. Thumbs up!!!
Depending on your browser you can press CTRL+ F and easily find your name. =)
Great tip! thx!
Sorry, the tip is higher then your deposit.
You can check your balance by sending 0.001 SBD to @tipu with memo: balance
(the minimal tip is 0.1 SBD)
I have setup autovote for qurator and wish to support the community as well. Waiting for more SP to delegate some.
Awesome! Appreciate the support, with the autovote active you should be and stay in Tier 2 pretty soon! =)
Wow, this is pretty cool! I think I'll delegate!
Cool indeed. =P
Would have to register first though. We suggest having a look at this post for all the details: https://steemit.com/qurator/@qurator/qurator-2-0-update-post-guidelines-or-registration-details-or-tier-changes
I just sent 2 STEEM for registration. Thanks!
Ooh, bummer, forgot to mention after we hit 1000 members we bumped up the price to 4 steem in order to keep up the support to all our members.
No worries. I'll just send 2 more. Thanks!
great effort as always..much appreciated!
You are welcome! =)
Whoop whoop! I'm very happy to join the comunity :D . I was unsure for a while if I had been accepted or not as I never got a message back after I sent the registration fee but I'm getting upvotes from qurator-tier-0 and I see my name on the list.
Whoops! Yeah handling all this manually there is sometimes a little mistake. Seems like the message to you never went out. Glad you saw your name was in the list. Apologies for not sending the message!
No worries ;)
Thanks for this as always @qurator. Still upvoting 7+ to stay in T2.
What do you think is the best way to get beyond T2 if you don't have the SP to delegate yet? Wait, keep upvoting and build the SP?
And also had a thought about that. Would Qurator register our small delegations if we were to add SP gradually (like small amounts to help the system of Qurator's VP weighting) or is it best to build it up and send the required amount - 100, 200, 300 etc. as the system wouldn't recognize small delegations and keep score of how much we have given? Hopefully, you understand what we mean. Hahaha
Hi @travelling-two.
I understand exactly what you mean. =)
For now I would suggest just sticking to the upvotes for Tier 2 until you reach the recommended SP for delegation. We handle the delegations manually so want to keep it as simple and not start dealing with too small values. Really appreciate the support though! Thank! Sure you will build up some good SP real soon! =) Steem on!
Thank you for your reply @qurator!
We shall continue doing with what we are doing and hopefully build up that SP to delegate out sooner rather than later. :) Steem on!
@qurator
I really love and cherish your good works
But it's quite unfortunate that i applied but I was not chosen. What do i do please?
