Welcome to the 200th Daily Edition of the Daily Qurator. Below you will find some awesome members of @qurator that worked hard to post some good quality content for all you awesome Steemians to enjoy!

The @qurator project was created to help give Steemians some extra exposure and awesome upvotes currently worth around $0.03 - $5.33!

Note: some of you have been curated twice since the start of the daily qurator and some have been curated only once. As the Daily Qurator is gaining fame with every passing day, many new steemians are asking/will ask to join us. So, expect to see posts from new users for now. When the opportunity arises, posts from older users will be curated once again

@scrooger here:

Qurites, moderators, supporters, coders, and graphic designers I want to say thank you for making this project last this long and going so strong for the last 200 days. I never thought it would grow this big and feels like just yesterday that I started Qurator. It has been a wonderful ride and I am so lucky to have had so many awesome conversations with all of you.

I know Qurator is not perfect and has its flaws here and there. Trust me though, the team and I are on here every day to make it better and to make sure the community and original posters benefit from the service.

Thank you so much!

A few words from our amazing writer @goldendawne:

200? Did I just see this is the 200th edition of the Daily Qurator? YES! It is!
Where has the time gone? I started as the newsletter writer for Qurator back on the 69th edition of the DQ and it seems just like yesterday.

So many members have joined! So many great writers, photographers, musicians, poets and on and on. We are just under 1300 members! YES- 1300! We have grown into a great group of Qurites!

I can't thank @scrooger enough for bringing me aboard last year and letting me have fun with the newsletter; adding the Photo Friday, Tasty Tuesday and Toss Up Thursday! And now I have started doing a once a week focus on certain tags; poetry, Dsound, Dtube, Art and so much more! Watch for these weekly posts!

And to all the moderators- @EwkaW, @brumest, @boontjie, @stresskiller, @Aaronleang, @ackhoo - SHAZAM! You are all awesome people to work with!!!

@scrooger – You are my main man! All the laughs we've shared! All the progress of qurator... and now a qurator witness... DUDE! You leave me speechless!

Here's looking to the 300th edition!

The Pepper Palace In Lisbon Was A Downer But We Loved The Gardens

We set out on this rainy winter day to visit a museum inside the Pepper Palace but it turns out that the main attraction was their garden with odd and beautiful ceramic statues. We embraced the rain to present you beautiful pictures and a video of Pepper Palace Garden

While @for91days didn't particularly care for the museum, the gardens were a sight to see. Head over to see some great images shared in this post.

The Wyandotte is a dual-purpose chicken breed, raised for its brown eggs and its yellow-skinned meat. It is a popular show bird, and comes in many color variants. It was originally known as the American Sebright

How To Help Your SAD Friend Create Their Steemit Account Instantly

I'm sure that a lot of you are promoting Steemit to your friends and family and telling them all the good things. But when they sign-up they are faced with the dreadful wait of getting their accounts. Sometimes it comes very fast .. but there are times where we have friends who waiting for WEEKS and it still have not come yet.

It seems as though the waiting line to get approved for steemit has become a lengthy process; so help people get onto the platform sooner by using steeminvite. See how easy it can be for you, with a little steem power, to help a friend.

Witness In Memes

Witness is the keeper of Steem blockchain. They run and maintain Steem blockchain, they provide servers that run the Steem blockchain and provides price feed for Steem and SBD. Without witnesses, there will be no Steem / SBD / Steemit

Have you voted for your witnesses? You're allowed to vote for 30 witnesses. Want to see a humorous approach and post about witnesses and why you should vote for them? Then you have got to see this post by @liberviarum. It sure made me smile quite a few times!

The Beauty Of The Community- Bog Power Behind Small People

A lot of things in life can be done by just one person - you. Let's be honest and say if you have your friends, colleagues or teammates by your side you can feel the power and energy of a group. Things and problems become easier and your life seems more beautiful. I want to transfer my sight of how powerful a group of small people can be to you.

@tonac shares what they've learned about community on steemit and in Discord. Just because you're a small person in a big world doesn't mean you don't hold value and can contribute. Stop over and see what they have to say in this post.

Toss up Thursday winners!

Congratulations @lizelle and @birjudanak! The counts are in and you two are the lucky winners! Your Tier 5 prize is on its way!

We did not see that many entries this time around but there were indeed quite a few upvotes by 3 specific members, (you know who you are) sadly you knocked each other out. =P

There were several users with the same vote count, we decided to pick the winners based on the lowest numbers of upvotes and the most participation.

Steemit Node Problems

Yesterday we saw some massive delays in the nodes we use. Our upvotes went out slow and the bot got pretty congested. We worked on it and even set up 2 extra bots as backups to help out with the delays. All upvotes will be going out but might be a bit delayed.

Please be patient as we can not control the steemit nodes, we are only as fast as they are. Guess steemit is busy with some updates and we have to hang tight till they are done.

ELITE MEMBERS: We set up a bot specifically for all of you. There should be minimal delays in your upvotes.

Steemauto Curation Trail

RIP Streemian and hello Steemauto! The new curation trail is active and running! If you would like to support your fellow Qurites or just earn some extra curation feel free to join our curation trail that is active on Steemauto.

We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using SCALED instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.

Steemauto can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprize for a lucky trailer. =P
