UpVoCur Team decided to change UpVoCur initial Rules and Terms of Service. By now we were accepting only members at the level of Plankton or Red Fish. Meaning, only members whose own Steem Power is maximum 500 SP.

With this update, we are going to add Minnows too. Meaning all the members whose own Steem Power ranges from 500 - 5,000 SP.

In short, UpVoCur Booster from now is going to support original and quality posts of all the members whose own Steem Power doesn't exceed 5,000 SP (from 0.000 up to 5,000 SP).

In previous almost two weeks, not a single member competed for our upvote. We were discussing the possible cause of this among ourselves and as well with some other fellow Steemians.

One of the possible reasons, for sure, might be our strict rules when it comes to originality and quality of the posts we are willing to support. Even if that's so, that's the only part we are not going to change. We aim to help good authors and quality content providers who don't abuse the Steemit platform.

Another possible reason might be that those Steemians still didn't hear about us and are not aware of our existence. There is also a big possibility that some members didn't realize the advantage of our service as well as the difference between other bid or no-bid upvote bots available out there. Therefore we would like to emphasize the following.

What PROFITABILITY of UpVoCur upvote means?

First, you should know that every upvote you receive for your posts (no matter if paid or free), will not end up in your wallet in its full amount. Meaning, max. 25% will be deducted as curation reward for upvoters while remaining 75% will be paid half in SBD and the other half in Steem Power.

For example, if your post within 7 days of its activity period collected $100, the above math would look as follows.

$100 STU - Total of the post earning
- $25 STU - 25% for Curation Rewards
***= $75 STU - Your Author's Reward (to be divided into SBD and SP)

At the moment when 1 Steem = $2.79 US your Final Author's Reward would be something like this...
37.500 SBD and 13.440 SP (37.50 / $2.79)

Now when we are clear how the post's rewards are calculated from the table below you would get a better picture why we are saying that our upvote is not only affordable but as well profitable for you.

As you could see from above table, by buying the upvote from us, with our 300% return, you would not only be in profit when your Total Author's Reward (SBD and SP) is calculated in USD, but as well you'll get more SBD back than you are going to pay.

In worst case scenario if the value of Steem/SBD drops in the meantime (between your payment and the post due), you would get at least equal amount of SBD that you invested.

Unfortunately, at the moment, we are not that big to be able to offer you an upvote worth $100 STU, but the same profitability equation applies to our smaller upvotes.

To summarize our newest changes regarding making Minnows eligible to compete for our upvote too, as well as necessary changes about minimum and maximum available upvote caused by market value changes of Steem and SBD, here are
