Want great curation rewards? Introducing the ReggaeMuffin Awesome Authors Guild
Over the last year, more and more stake on steem is going towards vote bots. While economically this is an expected behaviour, those users who work hard for their content and don't use bots on principle are the ones loosing out.
I always had a few hand selected people and posts that I voted with my stake, allowing these authors to continue producing great content. And with the new SteemVoter Beta Guilds I want to share my hand picked list with all of you.
I will vote all these authors after 30 minutes with 100% voting power and over 250k SP stake. This means that if you vote them earlier, you can receive a lot of curation. I go so far as to say that this might be even more profitable than delegating to a vote bot. And at the same time you are supporting great authors.
If you want to frontrun me, follow my guild: https://beta.steemvoter.com/explore/guild/reggaemuffin/curators
Here is a summary of the current voting targets set up:
@suesa with her @suesa-random and @suesa-spanish is writing original stories on steem that have many fans. She is promoting science on the blockchain and helps out new and old users in steem.chat. Suesa is the most responsible person I know and only writes quality posts. In my opinion she deserves all the rewards she can get. I am also following her resteems as these are very rare and often important.
@raycoms and @oriononline are both developers of the open source mincraft modification minecolonies and blog about their developement work. They spend a lot of their free time on this project and I want to reward them for making many players happy with every new big and small update.
@steemchiller is developing SteemWorld, a really awesome tool to check all the data on an account that you would ever need. He takes no cut on anything and relies on update posts to fund his work, so I am supporting his development as much as I can.
@steempeak is a new frontend for the Steem blockchain that has a modern desing, is fast, has many features interfaces like steemit.com lack and can shedule your post and allow you to save post templates. @themarkymark showed me steempeak and I fell in love immediately. So I am supporting their update posts.
@steemstem is a science community that is hosting a meetup next month. I participate in the meetup and vote their posts to fund some of the awesome work they do. Most of the team works in honorary positions and puts a lot of time into advancing science on the blockchain. They deserve it.
@googlyeyes is a contest that is as silly and as important as it can get. You stick googly eyes to something and take a picture. It promotes mindfulness and gives participants a bit of quiet time while looking for something to stick these goofy eyes on. The contest gives back all it earns so the votes on it get distributed to many genuine users.
@taxguy is currently tackling the complex topic of taxes and cryptocurrency in germany. He blogs about recent delevopments and is an advocate for the steem community, always there to help with questions.
@lichtcatchtoby did a steem tour visiting many fellow steemiands and documenting his journey. I met him and he is a very cool guy. I am supporting his travels and enjoy seenig the world through his lense.
I would love to hear feedback in the comments. Are there other authors that post consistent quality? Do you have ideas for what I can change? I will adapt the guild all the time, so you can follow once and trust that your vote goes to awesome people. I am voting 100% on all these users so I only add authors who post once every few days and put a lot of effort into each post.
This is an initiative for more curation on steem. Give without expecting to receive compensation. Build the steem you want to blog in. If it rewards these awesome people, I will gladly give my curation rewards away!
~ Peace
So what you're saying is we should get to work on our Auto Voting system so that our users can also get in the action very simply. There are some awesome systems out there that do this and I (@jarvie) personally use them but there exist a lot of users who have never used a 3rd party tool outside of the main interface... so we're trying to get everything together in one place.
If you want we could see about a steemvoter cooperation. In your case I would focus on building a great interface and not focus as much on voting bots. In my opinion that was a problem busy had, they auto voted content but didn't improve the interface, so they got all the spammers.
I thought your post was partially a promotion of using an auto vote system to support causes... you gave a link and everything. It's a feature i'd like to see @steempeak have for users. And technically it's not really a "bot" is it.
I think we may be on the same page but i didn't write it out well.
I thought you wanted to develop that system anew and add it to steempeak. So I was suggesting that instead we could see about adding steemvoter intogration into steempeak. I'd be happy to talk with you over discord about this if you are interested.
Good day to you Mr. Reggae muffin, let me start by appreciating your input in the steemit community. I've randomly received upvote from you a couple of times and it means a lot me and others like me.
I was hoping I could point you in the direction of a full time comedy community on steemit that's growing. #comedyooenmic is currently in the 28th week of existence and it has brought a lot of good content and laughs to the blockchain. It would be really awesome if you could sprinkle some of your awesomeness on the community. We have a discord channel with a lot of fun seeking people that want to spread laughter within the blockchain and I hope you'll join us there and see what we're about. https://discord.gg/yJcKf7Q
#comedyopenmic is a GREAT initiative! Anything that encourages people to laugh (especially when Steemit morale is low) is a worthwhile use of time! hahaha
I've spent lots of time giggling with @dj123 in comments - and @mineopoly had nominated me twice. I resisted at first - because I didn't think I could be "funny on cue" LOL
but after I finished - I realized it wasn't about that! It was just about laughter and lightness - something I had been needing! Great project :)
@dreemsteem, from the Welcome Wagon
Thanx Waggy. Yeah, it's really fun. We try to be funny but yeahz the comments and responses is where the real jokes drop in.
for SURE!!!
the comments is where the MAGIC happens on EVERY post. oh my gosh - it's where I live!!! :)
I think @steemarity would be a great choice.
❤❤❤
@steemarity would be a really great addition to your guild @reggaemuffin as explained in the post above by @theaustrianguy.
That is a great suggestion, thank you! I personally plan to vote people, not charity, so I will not include them but they could could start a guild themselves where people can follow and support.
Thank you so much for your support! It pushes me to keep delivering good content which i am passionate about. I already got some big plans for big projects on steemit, cant wait to get started on them.
It was a pleasure to host you in my apartment in Vienna. You and @suesa were great guests and come back whenever you want.
Best regards,
Tobi
💚
Amazing initiative @reggaemuffin, we are truly lucky to have you supporting us and @steemstem!!!
I am not there. It's either because I don't write enough or because I am not writing what you want me to (that old novel I kinda started). Possibly both?
If I can recommend anyone, it would be my BFF @didic . He blogs daily and consistently and is generally awesome.
Many people are not yet there ;) maybe you have to convince me on the meetup :p
Challenge accepted!!! <3
@mayasiam writes great food posts.
Of course I also like the posts of @kobold-djawa (about food, singing on DLive or writing about her/our garden) ... yes, she is my wife, so I am very biased, but that's not her mistake - just decide yourself. :)
@taxguy unterstütze ich übrigens auch upvotemäßig (und er mich, in Form der diesjährigen Steuererklärung ... wir waren sehr überrascht zu erfahren, dass er ganz in der Nähe wohnt ...). ;-)
Klasse Sache, da bist du ja ganz in der Nähe. Lust auf ein spontanes Mini-meetup? :P
Sehr gerne. Am Montag war @taxguy bei uns zu Besuch (er ist mir, auch abgesehen davon, dass er sich um unsere Steuerangelegenheiten kümmert, sehr sympathisch) - wir könnten uns ja mal zu dritt in der Stadt (z. B. St. Johanner Markt?) oder bei einem von uns treffen?
Ich kann später ja mal schauen, ob ich dich im Discord- oder Steemit-Chat finde und dir dann eine Privatnachricht (mit Telefonnummer etc.) schicken.
Hi @reggaemuffin, Thank You for writing this post. I agree with your viewpoint on helping the original content get rewarded as they are the ones not sacrificing on quality. I'd follow all these Steemians mentioned in this post and will resteem all their posts.
I'll also go through your guild link in detail to know more about it.
Lastly, I'm new to this amazing platform Steemit and exploring it more and more to learn new things from leaders like you. I'm a Sports commentator and all my life has been nothing but Cricket. I want to bring all my cricketing endeavors to Steemit. I don't know what's the best way to get the most out of my posts in terms of rewards. Please guide me on it. Also, why do we vote some as Witness? Does that person become our mentor and train about posting on Steemit? Please help me understand it.
Just followed you and shared this post with my tiny fanbase. :)
Happy Steeming!
Hey asif,
glad to have you on steem. There are sports communities like for example steemsports that you might enjoy participating in.
Witnesses are like the government of the Blockchain, we decide on important things that impact all users and ensure that the network runs smoothly. Voting witnesses is doing your part in electing the people you think advance tge Blockchain the most.
Never underestimate the power of a "tiny fanbase" :)
Welcome to Steemit, @asif.bokhari
I've been following @suesa's Steemit blog and she always comes up with original Science Facts and Fictions. Both are detailed and equally good. For some time, I've stopped seeing her posts may be, she was busy in her research work. I'll see all other Steemians mentioned in the post and for sure follow all of them. Good work @reggaemuffin.
Bachelor thesis took my life, soul, and time. But I'm slowly returning :)
Since I Joined the platform I met with so many wonderful souls but to be very honest I never saw such blog before. A blog that is based on sincerity and honesty. The person who is promoting the steemit in a very interactive and in a very positive way to support the passionate members of the platform is highly appreciated. Superb initiative taken by you and I salute your efforts @reggaemuffin <3
