Qurator Update - Introducing Investment and Upvote Tiers
Qurator will be a service that helps users who spent their blood, sweat and tears on content creation to get noticed and rewarded for their efforts. Steemit has seen some incredible growth in the last few months and even though this is amazing for the platform, it might make it harder for the new Steemians to get noticed. With daily posts hovering in the 100 000's you can imagine how hard it is to get the attention you deserve for all your hard work!
That's where @qurator comes in. We want to help those who work really hard but still see little to no rewards on their posts.
What exactly does @qurator do?
We will focus on users who post quality content. Each day 5 members will be selected and their posts will be featured in the Daily Qurator.
Once a day we will resteem a high-quality post from one of our members.
Members will get an upvote from @qurator once a day. We are limiting upvotes to once a day because we want to keep it fair for all the members.
More features and give aways will follow as @qurator grows.
How do you become a member?
We want to give back to the community, but this also means we need some support from the community. We will charge a once off fee of 1 Steem/SBD to register as a @qurator member. You can enter your name or the name of a friend you would like to join @qurator in the memo
field. This will give you a lifetime upvote membership. We do however reserve the right to decline certain accounts if we feel they do not contribute to posting good quality content or simply find too much plagiarism or spam posts. We have declined members before, we only support original content. We also offered tier voting weights for investors and upvoters of The Daily Qurator.
You can contact @scrooger or @gingerninja on Discord or Steemit.chat and request a review. Once reviewed we will let you know if you qualify to become a member. Afterwards simply transfer the registration fee to the @qurator account and you are all set up. We might not respond right away as we are only human and also need some sleep every now and then. Rest assured the bot sending you sweet upvotes will never sleep! We also have an awesome Discord channel that will spring to life once all you awesome members join. The Discord link will be sent after registration.
Note: Only members who registered and paid their 1SBD/STEEM registration fee are eligible to receive tier based upvotes.
We worked out our voting weights to ensure we always stay very close or above 80% Voting Power. According to the number of members there will always be a basic voting weight.
Example 1: With 10 members each member gets a 100% upvote.
Example 2: With 20 members each member gets a 50% upvote.
Using the base upvote weight we can have Tiered Upvote Weights for investors of @qurator. Because the investors help @qurator grow bigger the base upvote weight goes down and the investors gets bigger upvote weights. This way even the non-investors still benefit since the overall Steem Power of @qurator increases.
There are 3 ways you can become an investor in @qurator.
- Upvote The Daily Qurator post each day. This can easily be automated by using Steemvoter, follow this guide to set up Steemvoter.
- Send a certain amount of Steem (values below) to @minnowbooster with
4 qurator
as you memo. This will lease SP for @qurator and give you access to a Tiered Status Upvote.
- Delegate Steem Power to @qurator. (We can help with that, simply visit
sp delegation support
in our Discord channel.)

Please note: For The Daily Qurator upvote related Tiers, we check the upvotes on posts once a week (Every Sunday) and adjust the Tiers accordingly
After reviewing the Tiers you can decide how you invest. @gingerninja and @scrooger are available on Discord for any assistance or questions or you can comment on this post if you have any questions/concerns.
Help us, help you.
All post payouts and registration fees will go towards growing the @qurator account. We believe in sharing our power and not pocketing it for ourselves. Great posts need to be noticed and we want to help with that.

Always interested in solid curation, I would like to become involved @gingerninja and @scrooger, I will contribute with an upvote and am considering a delegation to this project / quration trail? haha. I post once per day and always strive to bring top quality content or as best as I can, also if you wish for some assistance with curation back at this account I run a service called @msp-creativebot which I shall proudly demonstrate for you today with a lovely 2% vote and a hit with the curation trail, the typical vote is 8%-9% and worth around 35c-40c and depending on the way the wind is blowing you may well even get around 20c more in trail votes.
I'm interested in mutual support and will discuss with the @msp-creativebot community to see if they would be interested in having a delegation put forward to @qurator from that account in order to further this relationship, but for now will just sign up with my account (when I wake up) and we can discuss mutual delegation once this project gets a little further down the path and I have broached the subject with my respective members.
Or you could hit me up on palnet/msp discord @scrooger. Cheerio! <3
Nice seeing you here! Awesome, would love to talk some details and get the ball rolling on some bigger picture things. I have some more ideas for this project once we gain some more members. I know your posts and have read quite a few of them, the kind of posts we need in this community, involvement and striving to make it better. Nice curation trail you have going, some solid members. =)
I think some mutual support could be pretty beneficial to both projects and its members. I am familiar with @msp-creativebot and the awesome work they do, would be and honor to work on something together. Will hit you up on Discord. =) Maybe later tonight as I am heading to work right now and guess you are sleeping. =P Let's talk soon!
lol what @sammosk said
I'd reallylove to join as well. can @gingerninja and @scrooger check if my blog fits? (will try to reach on discord as well)
I post about juggling, circus, art, nutrition, cryptocurrencies and more.

looking foward! ;)

Set you guys up for a daily up-vote from myself. Currently around 0.05$ at current % and voting power. Hopefully this will rise in the coming week.
cheers!
Awesome! Don't see you as a member yet though, need all members have to pay the 1SBD/STEEM registration fee. Then we add you to the upvote pool. =)
With your constant vote we will then bump you up in the tiers this coming Sunday when we update the votes on posts
Sorted! 😊👍🏾
Awesome, added to the upvote pool. Thanks =)
This post has received a 0.98 % upvote from @booster thanks to: @gingerninja.
What is the basic vote weight??
Had to decrease the multipliers and test them out a bit first, or we will run into scenarios where we can't give upvotes bigger than 100%
Currently basic vote weight is 34%
So currently I would get 34% upvote on my post and if I increase my tier I will get double that and so on.
Pretty much, but as tiered members increase their voting weight the basic vote weight decreases slightly to make sure we can keep our voting power up.
Example: Let say our base is 34%
Then a tier 2 investor comes along.
The base drops to 33%
The tier investor jumps to 33 x 2 = 66%
We will have limits with low members but as we grow it will balance out =)
As more members climb in tiers the base will decrease quite a lot, but since the investors bring more SP to @qurator the votes for base will still be pretty good.
Ok I got the thought behind it.
Will you be making updates about members who have joined joined Tiers.
I will yes. These will be included in the daily posts. = )
Starting tomorrow
Very good initiative. Thank you for that
