Welcome to the 254th Daily Edition of the Daily Qurator. Below you will find some awesome members of @qurator that worked hard to post some good quality content for all you awesome Steemians to enjoy!

The @qurator project was created to help give Steemians some extra exposure and awesome upvotes currently worth around $0.07 - $7.83!

Note: some of you have been curated twice since the start of the daily qurator and some have been curated only once. As the Daily Qurator is gaining fame with every passing day, many new steemians are asking/will ask to join us. So, expect to see posts from new users for now. When the opportunity arises, posts from older users will be curated once again

Come And Draw Contest Week 4 Wizards

A Wizard is a man who practices withcraft. They are enchanted with super powers and can destroy and restore with a shake of their wand or staff. They are powerful beings that can go either way according to each story; good or bad.
They are the heroes or villains of our childhood and adulthood stories. We fantasize of being one of them, to do or have whatever we want

Oh what a GREAT wizard this is! @crittercrats really has some unbelievable talent!

My Steem Witness Insights After 3 Months

In 3 months I didn't need to touch my server and when I need help I just ask one of my witness friends, so the technical side is highly overrated... My ultimate goal as a Steem Witness is to improve the quality on many Steem based platforms and to maintain the Steem blockchain

How has @valorforfreedom been doing since becoming a witness? What has he learned? If you're contemplating becoming a steemit platform witness and are looking for some honest advice, make sure to read this post now.

Steem Basic Income For Dummies

Steem Basic Income or SBI is a social experiment designed by @josephsavage, and developed in collaboration with @earthnation with a mission to provide basic income for every Steemian... Steem Basic Income is like water pouring down as a cascade.

You've probably seen the mention of steem basic income floating around the pages of steemit for the last few months, maybe you've even considered “joining”; but what do you really know about this initiative? Head over and read this post for more information.

Old Winter Castle- England- UK- Night Shots- Street Photography

Regarding the lately event from Windsor Castle with the royal wedding between the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex Harry and Meghan I was thinking it's a good idea to post some night shots with the beautiful and old castle o Windsor, a Royal home for over 900 years.
Windsor Castle is the largest occupied castle in the world and the Queen use it as a private home special during the weekends

If you're like millions, if not billions, of people around the world, you probably watched the royal wedding last weekend. Have a look at some great images of Windsor Castle during nighttime in @somalcescu's post today.

Developing A Hunter Midset

How many of us are getting into the groove of work: same commute (same seat on the packed train or rat-run through the back-streets?) to the same cubicle - email open, ready for the onslaught?!
Yet in this "groove", don't we lose the magic in life and in work? The creative force doesn't spark around such rigid and formulaic scheduled environments. Fresh ideas clam-up. We carry on perpetuating the same old stuff. Hoping for a different (improved) result

Have you gotten in a routine; or maybe a “rut”? Do you think or wish you could add some excitement into your life? If you answered “YES” to any or all of those questions then you should take the advice of @stevelivingston in this post and become a “hunter”. Be spontaneous! Have the mindset of a hunter!

@talentclub

We formed another mutual project support alliance with @talentclub. They are a Spanish speaking group with some seriously awesome members! We will be working with them in a mutual upvote trade as well as offering a limited 3 steem registration fee if you are part of the @talentclub group. We have seen great support from them so far and will be working on some future endeavors as well. =) Go check them out if you are part of the Spanish Steemit Community.

@qurator-tier-0 comment

We will be sending out some comments with the Tier 0 upvote. We don't think many of the members are aware that it is really easy to move up to a higher tier by showing Qurator some support. Let's hope some of the older members can move up in tiers and we can make the whole community a bit stronger. =)

This is by far on of the easiest ways to earn a little extra on your posts. READ the post mentioned in the comment. We are not trying to spam our T0 members, we are trying to help and reward you more. If you need help then you can always come visit us on Discord. =)

Note: You can opt out of the comment by replying stop. Keep in mind if you did not read the post linked in the comment you are losing out BIG TIME! Why get a $0.03 if you can easily get a $0.12 or higher upvote. Take part in the community, you won't regret it. =)

Tier Updates Finalized

Tier updates are out and finalized. You can check out the post HERE.

The short version is that Tier 1 and Tier 2 requirements have changed a bit. Please review them.

• A separate account has been created and 30 000 SP has been delegated to it. @qurator-tier-1-2 will be upvoting Tier 1 and Tier 2 members.

• A large amount of SP was undelegated from @qurator to accommodate for the new account, BUT the upvote weights have been adjust so they should balance out. Just have to see how the Voting Power holds up with the big change.

Steemauto Curation Trail

RIP Streemian and hello Steemauto! The new curation trail is active and running! If you would like to support your fellow Qurites or just earn some extra curation feel free to join our curation trail that is active on Steemauto.

We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using SCALED instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.

Steemauto can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprize for a lucky trailer. =P
