Noobie Curation Fund #2
Hi everybody!
After overwhelmingly positive feedback I have decided to do a quick follow-up on the very first edition of
I would like to thank @reggaemuffin, @flamegirl and many others for actively and selflessly supporting this project! Now let me explain some more about it first. The goal is to reward an unexpected bonus to active curators on Steemit. There are many hardworking Curators, often with low Steem Power and struggling to enjoy, while they are actually vital to this platform. The competition with auto-voters is becoming increasingly fierce, as bots take a bigger and bigger part of the value that is meant to go to Steemians that scour the new posts for hidden gems.
The Noobie Curation Fund is here to give a much needed incentive to those that spend their valuable time to manually curate the stream of new posts.
So now, to business! This post will be boosted according to the following Boost Schedule:
10 min - 2 SBD
20 min - 2 SBD
30 min - 2 SBD
40 min - 2 SBD
6 days - 8 SBD*
Cast your vote as early as possible to maximize your weighted returns
*A late boost is added to:
1 - Widen the window of opportunity for participants
2 - Maximize final return, as it declines over time
For a detailed review on the mechanics of Curation see the Steem Website
To get more information on how this all works see the previous edition of NCF
To all Curators:
You've found a Curator Gem! Thank you for your time and effort. You are welcome to follow and upvote these posts before they are boosted, to claim your Curation Rewards bonus.
To all wealthy Stemians
If you see value in Curation of new posts and want to encourage this, please consider upvoting this post after 1 day, to increase the weighted share of those that are improving this platform by grinding new posts.
Note
While Noobies are particularly welcome to be among the first to upvote, the main focus of this initiative is to reward active Curators. The next edition will therefore be named:
"The Curator Gem"
That's all for now, status updates will be provided in the comments.
Enjoy!
mmh. not too sure if I understood this contest right but it seems like there is nothing to loose upvoting it with full power, right ?
I also gave it to resteem.bot - so I hope it will work out well ;)
Thank you !
@honolulu
Hey @honolulu! Cool thinking and thanks for the support, its very much appreciated! The point is to upvote before the boosts, so your upvote gets an increased value. The earlier you get in the next round, the more your upvote will be worth!

Hey @joysimon, thanks for your interest! The point of this initiative is to give an unexpected boost to the Curation Rewards of those that actively Curate new posts. Check out the previous edition for a more detailed explanation of the project. For a broad overview of the mechanics of Curation, see the Steem website
Love the idea! Resteemed and upvoted.
Very much appreciated!
I'm trying to understand this contest here, but I'm having trouble grasping how to enter/vote?
hey @mrslauren, thanks for checking out the link!
It is a contest in the sense that the earliest upvoter (theoretically an active Curator), gets the most weight assigned to their vote. This means a boost of 8 to 20 times the Curation Reward compared to their average upvote. This is enforced by the guaranteed boosts after set timeframes and the support from wealthier Steemians. For a detailed explanation check out the previous edition. Also, for a general overview of the mechanics of Curation, check out the Steem website.
I'd be happy to answer any more specific questions and hope to see you again in this thread!
So it just applies to your posts?
Excactly! The people that Curate a lot have the greatest chance to be among the first to upvote and therefore get the greatest benifit. It actually has some similarities to the OCD Daily blog, in the sense that both project strive to increase content quality. While OCD is focusing on great Authors, the Curator Gem is to reward great Curators.
A few of these will be posted per week, depending on traction and support from wealthier Steemians, as these blogs are not breaking-even on author rewards obviously.
What do you think of the initiative?
ahh. Sounds interesting, thanks for the explanation!
Very welcome. Round 3 is now online, as well as a blog with a more detailed explanation.
Lol, 3rd again! This will be a big one - for my standards at least :p Thanks @steemitromney for continuing this great initiative!
Haha good job! Well deserved
I am completely lost here
How can a minnow benefits from this
Hey @jammey! Thanks for your interest. The point of this initiative is to give an unexpected boost to the Curation Rewards of those that actively Curate new posts. Check out the previous edition for a more detailed explanation of the project. For a broad overview of the mechanics of Curation, see the Steem website
To answer your specific question: A minnow benefits by upvoting before the guaranteed boost and the support of wealthy Steemians that would like to reward active Curation. Depending on your Steem Power and the % weight of your vote, your Curation Reward can increase by 8 to 20 times compared to your average upvote.
