Steemit: The Curation Leagues - 10 SBD in Prizes available!
Hi all
This week is complete and as usual I have 10 SBD in prizes to give away. Woop!
There are 2 chances to win and you can enter for next week by commenting below. Easy!
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 reards
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 long comments!
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 (Withdrawl 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.

The end column is what I think is a genuine indicator of how well you are financially working the curation game with the tools,including vested Steem Power, that you have at your disposal.
Chart and Analysis
Amount of SP earned per 1000 Steem Power owned
This weeks' results:
@curx has produced an unbelievable SP/rewards ratio to take the prize this week!
@zapncrap in 2nd, but as that's an alt. account of mine, no prize for me :)
@miniature-tiger has kindly offered to pass any prizes this week down the table, a fine score again though!
@biophil - 2nd place (again!) well done you!
@kaysar07 - 3rd place and as a newer member I'm happy to see you here!
And the other members scoring over 2.0 - This is an excellent number, well done!
- The average curation reward/Steem Power this week is 1.57 SP, up sharply from last weeks average of 1.438.
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)
- Up-votes to others
- Up-votes to unique others
- Self-votes (a minus score for this one!)
- Witness engagement

Thanks for your support!
Asher @abh12345
Great job again !
Nice I'm in the list =]
Let's see if I can climb a bit next week!
Your score in the league of excellence (and other recent community contributions) has earned you a little delegated SP :)
That's awesome Asher! Thank you, you are one of the persons who makes Steemit the great place he is!
I'll use the delegation wisely! =]
Thank you :D
I'm sure you will!
tnx for resteem have a nice day.
in advance?
WOW!!! Thank you for this!
I was out of the office yesterday and completely missed this!
Now I have to re-read this post again! I need to let it sink in!
You, sir, are awesome to the steemit community!
Hey! :)
No worries, always time for a bit of Steemit Sunday catch up.
Well done on being excellent, we didn't need my league to tell us that though :)
Have a great day, thank you!
Back at ya!
Every day new events, happenings and wondrous things are happening on steemit for me and I am humbled, more motivated and READY for action!
Some really good curation out there, keep it up guys but don't forget that upvoting crap does long-term harm to Steemit.
I've shown people Steemit and they get back to me a little later and say that they looked around and the rewards for many of the top posts are far too high for the information presented. They never joined.
Crypto's value is based on the number of people using it, so by having crap on our top page will turn away possible users.
Thanks for the support man, much appreciated!
I've cut back on my comment voting for 'sub-standard' replies based on what you are saying above.
It's also better I think to see positive work on the trending page, can we get that to happen you think?!
HA! You are quick off the mark with these!
I'm amazed at the amount of data and reports that you have.
Is there like a primer for number and data crunching? I'd love to get my hands on it so that we could see our progress.
You we started at about 20 really active people in our group but recently our numbers has ballooned to over 100 people who recently joined Steemit and so one of our first task was to reactive the @steemitfamilyph account and use it as our main account to do curating and boosting visibility for our members.
Honestly I'm new to it but I want to help our members get better in terms of quality and polish them till they get good for the main curating guild.
I have tried to make a search and their are tons of data and some are even Conflicting and different from each other on the process.
Any help will be much appreciated.
If you want to give me a list of accounts i'll add them to the leagues?
Both are a reasonable measure of progress I think.
I'll add the @steemitfamilyph for now :)
Well I only handle teh account curation one day out of the week as we split the responsibility to 6 other admins.
I don't think I am eligible because I got some delegation, I have also delegated part of mine with Minnowsupport to help fellow planktons like me and I am also going to delegate more SP to @steemitfamilyph.
But I love the data crunching aspect as I also worked in hr analytics before and I'm floored by the amount of it haha. Data geek here!
Awesome, prize received and actually super stoked to see that placement in that particular league :) If I were to win either league, the Community Curation league would mean more to me. Just out of curiosity, I don't see myself in the other results - I assume I must have been disqualified for the week for some reason or other? Have not been keeping a close eye on my delegations maybe something changed there that I wasn't aware of. Cheers - Carl
Thanks Carl, a well deserved prize winner you are too.
Not sure about about league one this week, but I agree that league 2 is the place to be these days 😁
Thanks for your support and RS!
Great to have these details week on week.
Just missed the third place in league 2 by 10 points!!. ;)
Anyway, congratulations to @tarazkp, @carlgnash and @goldendawne and yourself @abh12345.
Congratulations to League 1 winners and all the participants.
These leagues/contests are not only an encouragement for winning some steem, but also improves our individual engagement on Steemit.
Good day guys.
Very close, sorry about that @coolguy123!
Thank you very much for your kind words and support, I'm glad you see the leagues as a positive part of the community.
Asher
Oh, that's fine, there are amazing guys in that list and I am happy that I am competing with them, this only makes me a better guy down the lane.
Kudos to your effort to put all these things in place. I think I will get better score by next week, as I got interact with many guys this week, which I am sure will add more value.
:)
WOW! the top is really unreachable! Wondering how much time this user spend curating and deciding what posts to vote for.
This weeks winner is a bot account, so
Not much time after the code is written!
From now on I'll be accepting only manual curation so I think you will rise this week @edje. Good luck!
Auto voting is the art of picking the right time, but with some history analyses on vote times by others (bots and manual curators) it should not be a big issue to find the right settings. Looking forward to the next report! :)
Yet another week I've been delegating around to Israeli noobs. Oh well.
bahaha :D
You sound far too busy to curate for cash or love right now!
Glory. I curate for glory. :)
I don't know why I thought I'd find a 'will curate for food' banner on a t-shirt. This is all i got :)
LOL
I need that shirt...
