Steemit: The Curation Leagues - 10 STEEM in Prizes available!

in #steemit7 years ago

Hi all!

Living out of a couple of suitcases and painting new classrooms is a little different to usual life but the curation leagues must go on!

10 STEEM in prizes is available by commenting below - you will be entered into both leagues.

On your marks, get set, curate!

Introduction

My general views on maximizing curation rewards are:

  • Voting in the first minute will earn you a curation reward of almost 0.000

  • Voting between 1 and 29 minutes will earn an increasing % of the curation rewards split, this value peaking at 30 minutes and remaining the same from this point onwards

  • The goal is to get in prior to the big hitters, but not too early!

  • It is commonly suggested that 20-25 minutes is the 'best' time to vote (especially on known power-authors posts because they are likely to have more auto-votes coming in at these times - and you want to be ahead of these votes)

  • A vote of equal weight and equal Steem Power at 30 minutes will give more reward than a vote at, for example 1 hour - first come first served, but don't arrive to early :)

  • Voting on good dtube content and utopian-io approved contributions (prior to vote by @dtube / @utopian-io can earn some very good curation rewards

As you can see, a combination of many variables such as Steem Power, voting strength, voting weight, and time of vote, (and more) all play a part in the amount of rewards received.

My general opinion on maximizing engagement is:

  • Spread your vote and write lots of comments on the blogs of others!

The data for league 1

The raw data has been collected from SteemSQL - @arcange's MS SQL Server copy of the Steem Blockchain.

The key formula used for 'quality of financial curation skill' is:

Curation Rewards DIVIDED BY Steem Power MULTIPLIED BY 1000

This will return the amount of Curation rewards gained per 1000 Steem Power held


The rules (which will cause auto-filtering of your account if not met so just enter anyway and see what happens!) to appear in this league:

  • Must have voted at least once on a piece of content in the past 7 days

  • Must not have leased or delegated Steem Power in the last 15 days

  • Must not have Started a Power Down (Withdrawal of Steem Power) in the last 15 days

The 2nd and 3rd points above are required to reduce distortion of the figures. And, as curation rewards for the past week are actually taken from votes made up to 14 days ago, we need a 15 day window as mentioned in these points.

Community Curation Excellence - League 2

This new league is not based around rewards and relates to engagement.

Everyone currently on my master list has a chance here - delegation dealings or not.

I've used some metrics (which is the fancy way of saying that made up some numbers) relating to:

  • Comments (number and amount of text)
  • Comments outside of your own blogs
  • Up-votes to others
  • Up-votes to unique others
  • Self-votes (a minus score for this one sorry!)
  • Witness engagement

First time being a part of your contest and I cracked the top 20! I am shocked. I did not think I did much curating as the vast majority of my comments and upvoting is on comments that people make on my posts and debate forum. I don't get much of a chance to visit other people's blogs. Okay, I now see a lot of value in what I'm doing in regards to curating. Lesson learned. Thank you my friend. This helped me out tremendously!

Congrats to @salmanbukhari54 for coming in third in this contest and winning my debate forum about an hour ago. He has done well today!!

Well @wwf you have been guiding me throughout so you actually DESERVE a BIG THANKS as well My Best Friend. I was sleeping and just checked the result of that contest in which i participated and Won that.

You are always at positive end to share your knowledge and Support <3
I am Really thankful to such big Names @abh12345 & @wwf who are actually selfless people with Lively Souls, Much Obliged Guys <3

Steem On!

My friend, it is you that is doing all the great work and you are proving beyond any shadow of doubt, that networking with people is the way to success on steemit. I'm just here as a cheer leader and coach to bring out the best and it looks like you already know instinctively what to do. Kudos goes to you my friend for the hard work you are putting in. It will pay off for you and you already pay it forward by sharing with your students. So the ripple effect has started and will not stop!

Thanks a lot for your Kind Words and the Appreciation you always give to me :)
I am so blessed i met great Authors like you who's ready to teach me the things i never know. More Strength and Power to you My Best Friend @wwf

Hi @wwf

Apologies for the slow response, moving between hotels wasn't the plan but that's life I guess!

A fine effort this week, thank you for your participation. I recently interacted with @salmanbukhari54 and believe he has started his Steemit career brilliantly.

Well done both!

Indeed he has. I invited him into the Stewards of Terra Mater and he has taken on the spirit of steemit with genius level skill. Sorry to hear that your tied up with moving. I'm sure the disruption is not comfortable and I pray to Creator that you find a way to bring some stability with your basic need of shelter. Perhaps one day you can find some land and build something for yourself to secure your basic needs. Peace to you. Well done on the contest! You helped me realize that despite being an author, I do a lot of curating too. I appreciate the lesson you taught me this week. Thank you.

I'm very glad to have shown you how you are performing - I didn't doubt that it would be very well based on our interactions.

Thanks for your kind words of support as always @wwf

Congratulations @wwf to be in the top 20. I found this contest last week following @ipessin and I try to get in list this week I will try harder

Thank you Im happy you are following my steps

Congratulations to all!!! These are some great numbers!!

Awesome to see so many familiar faces and names! And even better.. look at the new members making a BIG impact on steemit!

Thank you @abh12345 for this weekly update and stats!

Yes... I'd still like to be included next week- GOOD LUCK everyone!

Hi @goldendawne

Thanks for your comments as always, and a well deserved placed finish again!

Yes some of the newer members are shining which is great to see, more of this please!

As far as inclusion next week, you are 'in' until you want out!

Thank you!

Oh, well then! Keep me in! You know me, I'm in steemit's success for the long term!

Sure thing! And yes I certainly see this! 😁

feeling like i am on Cloud 9 right now wow can't believe thanks a lot for the gift :D can't believe still..the idea was simple to help the new people along and help them to grow organically seems like its working :D together we will all grow and make steemit great again ;)

Your score really stood out this week - I think you left over 700 comments on unique accounts!

If you were leaving advice on newer accounts, then you deserve the SBD even more so.

Well done!

Thanks for appreciating the work finally think in am on the right way i guess :)

i don't know about the number of comments but yeah that's true that i left advice to the newer accounts which engaged in my post's as i don't have much steem power so i thought this would be a new idea to help those new people who just keep resteeming others post's and don't post their own content and lag behind even if they post a picture that would be a addition on steemit

and it worked out according to your stats they engaged in my post's and i keep telling them to keep sharing more and they did that so happy that they will also progress on steemit along with all.

i personally have seen and knew its hard to get started here as no one would give a reply when you get started the rep level really matter and so does the steem power.

I'm back on the board haha nice. Took me forever to get my SP back up. Still struggling to keep it up honestly.

How is life in reunion island ? Has the weather gotten better ?

Good job!

Well you are the first person to write on my blog saying you're struggling to keep it up 😂 Good luck for next week!

Yes the weather is much better, if you like swealtering - which I do as long as there is liquid near by, cheers!

Cheers bro !

yay! Another week passing by!
People are really getting their steem game on, this time I'm not in the top 20, hard to keep up with them hehe, I didn't steemit much this week too...a lot of things going on here outside the steemit ocean. I'll try to run faster now for the next. Do you have my score for this week? Just for reference...=]
As usual, Thanks for the effort and work that you do :)

Dont give up I came here following you this week I will try to enter the list on is contest

Thanks again @abh12345 for the details.
Good to see familiar names topping the chart again with some new faces too.
@goldendawne has done it again!!
Congratulations to all who are participating in this to week on week and competing.
As usual, many thanks to @fulltimegeek for being the showman for all of us with his SP delegation.
Keep steeming friends.

Thank you!!!
And yes... @abh12345 + @fulltimegeek = GREAT success for so many steemians! The giving from these two gentlemen is UNBELIEVABLE!

Well I'm feeling humbled to be mentioned in the same sentence as @fulltimegeek - it is his huge gift that has built this community of ours. And I hope it will remain strong, long after he decides to reassign his SP.

Thank you for being such a huge part of the good within Steemit.

Very well said about both of them. All we can do to thank them is by giving back to community in whatever way we can.

Thank you @coolguy123

I'm very happy to see this mix of new and 'old'.

@fulltimegeek has created a gift community for sure.

Yes, it's always nice to see the new guys emerging and making these challenges more competitive.

Huh it is been three weeks now I think that I haven't been in the first league, and to my knowledge no change in delegations. No biggie of course. I think I had basically almost the exact same performance on my main account as with r-bot last week, both were well over 2 SP / 1000 SP. Pretty cool to see r-bot up there in any case. And man I slipped a lot in the engagement league! Better up my game. You rock my friend.

Hey Carl,

I'm really sorry your main account isn't in there - when I find secure wifi I'll do my best to find out why.

I adjusted the engagement league to include more points for comments outside of own blogs - this actually brought us both down compared to last weeks numbers!

Great job from @r-bot, I suspect this account can go 1 or 2 better.

Thanks for your support with this as always!

Ash

Ah cool, glad to hear about that adjustment even if it meant my own score lowered a little - I think it is a good thing to account for interaction outside of confines of own blog (which is why I suggested it!). Just means I have to up my game even more :) And obviously, it really isn't a big deal one way or the other RE my main account not showing up in the league. Who knows, maybe somebody delegated or undelegated a tiny little bit of SP to me that I didn't even notice :) I am also fully capable of doing the detective work myself and haven't done so ;) Hope your life becomes less hectic soon and the internet more stable!

It is a bit suspicious that it's been 3 weeks now. I will check when I can.

This hotel runs an unsecured network free of charge - great! And I can't even get the laptop to connect having used my phone as a hotspot to download a VPN. Sigh.

This afternoons replies (on mostly this blog) took a couple of hours to write on the phone, where I am at now. Shame I won't be scoring highly for it!

Life is upside down right now, hopefully it will right itself soon. Cheers!

WOW, I didn't expect this one! First spot! Thanks for the Steem!

Well done! And my pleasure. Glad to see a community account (voting manually) top the list for the first time 😁

Thanks, gives a good feeling :)

Mid table obscurity for me, but be warned everyone, I'm just warming up.

Do we have to 'register' every week btw? Or are we auto-enrolled for future weeks?

All of a sudden I feel like I'm talking to a government official.

Haha, take a ticket and back of the queue!

You are in for life, unless you asked to be removed 😁

Good luck for next week of this life sentence!

Now that I'm in it, I'm beginning to understand this all better.
I wasn't on Steemit much last week, which shows! :)

And that first list - in order to up my numbers in the last column, I need to upvote at better times, right( (like, between 20-25min)?

That's cool. And yes, a vote at those time should suit you better.

The 2nd league is the one that most reflects 'good' Steemit behaviour, although time is certainly a factor.

Glad to hear you are gaining more understanding, good luck for next week!

I promise to be a better Steemian next week 😄

I'm sure you will 😊

I'm not having an active week, struggling with Internet and life at present!

I can imagine. Looking forward to pictures of your new beach soon, though!
