A few weeks ago we received a great question from

Q. Juts found out about @rePhoto. I like the goal and the manual curation aspect, but if people simply have to transfer some amount of SBD to get upvoted and resteemed, then there is no guarantee on the quality of the feed, or am I missing something? If the feed's quality is not top notch, then people won't follow it and the whole purpose is defeated.

As a service, @rePhoto can be used by anyone to resteem photography content. With this resteem comes the possibility of a random upvote with a vote strength currently set at 33.33%. Since the cost of our service is no more than $0.10, the random upvote will return some of that cost - sometimes more as the price of steem rises.
Our manual rewards however are where we aim to really help minnows and those undervalued. @rePhoto's returns from people using the resteem service are put towards delegation, and as more people use it you will notice the delegation amount increase. When we upvote manually the vote strength is set between 75-100%, so a post that is worth $0.02 will increase to around $0.14 at this time. As our delegation increases along with the price of steem, so will the rewards, and that is when we will really be able to give back to the photography community. Of course manual curation is a big task, hense why we are advertising for another curator.
On top of this we also manually sponsor and curate particular photography contests!
Even though it is still early stages, we are happy with the progress of our project so far. If you have any suggestions on improvement, or any more questions, please let us know!
