@Muxxybot is primarily a curation account, originally started for Minnow Support Project members, but now expanded to include all minnows. Those of you who follow my blog will no doubt have noticed there have been no curation posts for a little while. To be honest, I am snowed under with various different projects. The past few days I have toyed around with a few different ideas for making the account more productive, while also creating less work for myself.

Knowing Hive account@sammosk as an ideas man, I approached him and sought his counsel. He wisely suggested I seek more community involvement and recruit some curators, tasked with the mission of finding worthy posts for Muxxybot to curate. Of course, there will be a little incentive to help out so I have restructured the Muxxybot voting percentage rules to reflect this, as follows:

The Numbers

5% - starting rate for curators, earned on every post they make.
15% - featured posts earn this on author's every future post. 10 SP or higher delegators also earn this on every future post.
20% - featured post by a 10 SP or higher delegator.
25% - delegators 100 SP or more earn this on every future post.
30% - featured post by a 100 SP or higher delegator.

Curators who already happen to fall into one of the categories above will get 5% rate added eg. previously featured post = 15% + 5% = 20% for being a curator. If they also delegate already, then the 5% is added to that rate eg. 100 SP delegator + featured post = 30% + curator rate = 35% upvote on all future posts.

In addition, the curator rate grows with involvement; every featured nomination adds 5% to their rate. I will monitor the situation and tweak these percentages should the need arise.

The Chosen Ones

How will I go about selecting curators? Good question, glad you asked. Initially I am looking for 4 curators, in addition to Hive account@sammosk. In order to coordinate the curation task I will create a room at the PALnet discord server and add a Muxxybot curator role - with your own sparkly new colour. I will throw this open to MSP members first.

If you want to offer your time as a curator, reply to this post with a link to what you deem to be a worthy post for Muxxybot to feast his robotic eyes on. The only criteria is that the author is a minnow (not necessarily an MSP member) and that the post has at least 3 days remaining before payout.

I will ask for up to 2 nominations per day from the curators. The curators will be asked to vote on their favourites - not including their own nominations. The posts with the highest curator votes will be featured in Muxxybot's post. They will each receive a 100% upvote from @Muxxybot and be added to his voting rules for all future posts. I will also resteem Muxxybot's post for greater visibility.
