All Qurites please update your banners with the latest links that can be found at the end of this page.

Welcome to the 193rd Daily Edition of the Daily Qurator. Below you will find some awesome members of Hive account@qurator that worked hard to post some good quality content for all you awesome Steemians to enjoy!

The Hive account@qurator project was created to help give Steemians some extra exposure and awesome upvotes currently worth around $0.03 - $7.42!

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

Do You Know How To Sow Basil- I Explain Step By Step

The plant you will see in the pictures below, is an adult plant that has already completed its flowering process and has its seeds located on the inside where the flower dried. Then we proceed to cut this dry section of the plant with a disinfected tool so as not to mistreat the mother plant

Hive account@critic-on takes us through the entire process from drying out last season's basil seeds to the completion of planting those same seeds for this year's harvest. Quite a simple process and there are many pictures for easy follow along.

Why I Became Swiss

I think becoming Swiss is one of the highlights of my life, but what made me make such an extreme decision to take up another nationality? In this post I want to tell you guys about why I did this, the pro’s and con’s I considered and also launch a new fun weekly topic the Swiss (German) word of the Day.

From the traditions and events to the attire and products come on over and see what Hive account@wolfje has to say about the transition on becoming Swiss.

The Best Time To Be More Active On Steemit Is Now

Due to the fall in price of SBD and steem, we tend to lose interest. Not because we don't love what we do on steemit, but the vibe is just gone... I thought it affected we minnows more because when the price of steem is high we earn little or nothing and now that is low it is worse but I later came to think about it.

Do you know some of the advantages of being more active now on steemit? Or what about the recent decline of the price of steem? How can you use this to your success on the platform.

Feeling Like A Real Photographer

The Rules of Capturing a High Quality Photo... will not be found here. I don't have the slightest idea about how to take quality photos.... But I do know what is pleasing to my own subjective taste! So, that's what I did on my trip to the Caribbean. I took a lot of photos and tried to capture them in the way that I most wanted to remember the scenes before me

Hive account@dreemsteem may not be a “photographer” in their own mind; they have captured some great images in this post.

This is not the advice of a professional photographer. This is the advice of one human to another.

Winning The Lottery May Be The Worst Thing That Can Happen To You- Ramblings Of Life Number 14

What if I win the lottery? I have recently been thinking a lot about the lottery. I keep wishing if somehow I could get hold of 1 crore (10 million) rupees, how my life would change for the better, how I will quit my job, pay off my mortgage, start something on my own and live happily ever after.

What would you do if you won a large lottery? Above all, would you be happy? Aside from paying off bills, buying a new house or car, what about the money would truly make you happy?

NEWS

Steem and SBD prices are getting us down. =(

Qurator has and always will be open and honest with all the members. We are seeing some leases falling away simply because post payouts are not as good as they used to be and we cannot keep up with all the leases. Hive account@scrooger has given some of his own steem to help out and the mods are also making an active effort to help out, but we will need some support from our members. We will be losing some SP in the coming days and will also have a Tier update sale to help generate some extra steem.

This is not something we would like to do but sadly in the crypto world we will always have uncertainties and rest assured we are trying our best to keep our SP as high as possible. Watch out for tomorrow's post about how you can get a possible tier upgrade (like in the past) for sending in some steem. There will only be a select few spots so it will be first come first serve.

UPDATE: We did indeed end up having a little fire sale to gather some steem, luckily we have some awesome members and when we announced the effort to generate steem there was on member in particular that gave us a hefty donation! Extremely grateful to all who came to the rescue! We made enough to cover all the leases and we will be doing just fine =)

Qurator is finally a witness!

For more details go check out our witness page and consider voting for us. We will always strive and do our best to benefit the community and our members. . =)

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
