Hello Hive account@chiefmappster here. Been missing the opportunity to curate some awesome content on Steemit and what better way then to curate for the awesome Daily Sneak. My goal is to curate underappreciated content in this awesome Steemit community and get it the recognition they deserve. I have curated with OCD and BuildaWhale here on Steemit and am very passionate about helping people. Thank you to the Daily Sneak for the opportunity to help people. Namaste.

Hive account@adetola's "Care Usage and Construction of a Deep Cycle Battery"

This is an awesome, informative science post from Hive account@adetola that teaches the community the importance of these batteries and how to create them. I love how Hive account@adetola details the process to be able to construct one of these batteries. That is incredibly valuable information in my opinion, and I appreciate Hive account@adetola sharing the knowledge with the community.

Hive account@paradigmprospect's "The Psychedelic Roots of Christmas..."

Holy smokes this is such an unique and comprehensive Steemit. So much information about the influence of psychedelics on Christmas, Christianity, and history in general is shared by Hive account@paradigmprospect through awesome photos and an incredible writing style that needs to be read. I learned so much from this post. So much history and information that you might not be exposed to if it wasn't for Steemit. Appreciate all the time and effort you spent creating this.

Hive account@privat's "...Improving our Networked Intelligence and thecut"

In this post, Hive account@privat shares awesome insights and information on topics ranging from the "fermi paradox" to Bitcoin to the awareness of improved networked intelligence to the music initiative "thecut". Love the flow of consciousness that is evident in this post from Hive account@privat. Such an unique picture into the mind of Hive account@privat as he explains certain topics and explain how they all interact and the connection. And his update on the music initiative is an awesome fresh inspiration of another Steemian doing something for the greater community. Much appreciation for this post Hive account@privat.

Conclusion

These are some mind-bending choices from Hive account@chiefmappster today! It's a little esoteric, and I found it extremely interesting. For submitting these great selections and commentary, Hive account@chiefmappster earns 10 SBD today.

We will continue to pay 2 SBD per selection through the end of the year, but then we are forced to lower the rewards again. Starting 1 January, the reward will decrease to 1.5 SBD per selection (up to 7.5 SBD per edition if all 5 choices are published). That will improve the sustainability and make it possible for us to continue rewarding even more guest curators!

Each of these highlighted articles receives full upvotes and resteems from Hive account@sneakyninja. As an added bonus, Hive account@sneakyninja sponsors featured writers for Steem Basic Income!

Submission Requirements

1. You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
2. All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
3. You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will also not be accepted.
4. Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
5. We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
6. Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
7. Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
8. Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.

If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.

Submission Reward

A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 2 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 10 SBD for each accepted submission! (To be cut to 1.5 per article, up to 7.5 SBD per published submission, effective 1 January 2018)

Right now Hive account@sneakyninja's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces. We hope that they will spend some of the SBD earnings to power up- but it's their choice.
