Welcome to the 269th 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 - $7.47!

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

Barista On The Loose- Summer Escape

Well, I've been busy in the corporate world. Gotta work for some achieving targets for the people, or better call them yuppies or young professionals that I develop. Managing them is a bit exhausting but they are the ones who are doing the job for us hit bull's eye. I am just behind planning and developing.
With tiring days and more coffee concoctions on our way, stealing some time for a break maybe just fine to reward this peeps for bringing out their best behind the bar, espresso bar

Hive account@davinsh sure knows how to enjoy a summer day! Look at all these fun-filled activities he's had! From lunch full of laughs and smiles, to the beach and even a banana boat ride; quite the adventure!

Sequoia And Yosemite National Parks- The Story Of My Bear

I had just a few more days to spend in the US. I was running out of time. Since I’ve spent two days in Death Valley, I had only one day for Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks. It is crazy to try cover both for a day and I don’t recommend to rush through the parks that way. The only thing that made me feel better was that I didn’t have winter equipment and there was plenty of snow at the end of January

From trees too big to hug to epic waterfalls, Hive account@best-trip-eva shares some moments t these two national parks and the fun she had on the journey. Did you know she traveled with Mecho? Who's Mecho? Head over to read the post to see who her travel companion was.

Standard Image Sourcing for the Qurator Project

Our local Sheriff Hive account@brumest wrote an nice and simple post about how to properly source images in order to pass the approval process for the Qurator Project. We see quite a lot of members who get rejected by not using the right images or sourcing incorrectly. We are bringing the hammer down on new and old members. We need to up the quality of posts and in that way up the rewards as well. We know that this might not be the most fun thing to do but in the long run it will pay off, being a respected Steemian/Qurite.

Hive account@qurator-tier-0 comment

We will be sending out some comments with the Tier 0 upvote. We don't think many of the members are aware that it is really easy to move up to a higher tier by showing Qurator some support. Let's hope some of the older members can move up in tiers and we can make the whole community a bit stronger. =)

This is by far on of the easiest ways to earn a little extra on your posts. READ the post mentioned in the comment. We are not trying to spam our T0 members, we are trying to help and reward you more. If you need help then you can always come visit us on Discord. =)

Note: You can opt out of the comment by replying stop. Keep in mind if you did not read the post linked in the comment you are losing out BIG TIME! Why get a $0.03 if you can easily get a $0.12 or higher upvote. Take part in the community, you won't regret it. =)

Tier Updates Finalized

Tier updates are out and finalized. You can check out the post HERE.

The short version is that Tier 1 and Tier 2 requirements have changed a bit. Please review them.

A separate account has been created and 30 000 SP has been delegated to it. Hive account@qurator-tier-1-2 will be upvoting Tier 1 and Tier 2 members.
A large amount of SP was undelegated from Hive account@qurator to accommodate for the new account, BUT the upvote weights have been adjust so they should balance out. Just have to see how the Voting Power holds up with the big change.

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
