We Survived! (so far) The trials and tribulations of the death of OldSteem. Currently, we are up and running on NewSteem. Most if not all the nodes are back up and operational.
Many are saying that NewSteem is faster and more responsive and have hopes that will continue as Users come back online. (I heard a nasty rumor that some went "OUTSIDE" during the upgrade.)
*Steem Art by @elgeko
A couple of points of interest as we adopt #NewSteem. Reward calculations and new behavior are still being factored into the blockchain's averages. As behavior, the number of active users, price, downvotes, and less bot usage are averaged in expect to see differences in your voting power and rewards. Allow these changes to fully take effect prior to deciding whether or not the last Hardfork was good or bad for your account.
Professional Level Graphics:
As we all know Steem does not have a marketing budget and it is up to the community to create and distribute images and art for promoting Steem. @Elgeko who is great at graphics has offered to create a folder of high-quality graphics for use when promoting or discussing Steem. We've created a folder on SteemChat's Discord to start with because that is what we have access to. This link will take you directly to the folder https://discord.gg/tsSe4Ph. Other discord servers or any place that Steemians gather are welcome to mirror or just pillage the folder. The goal is to get high-quality art in circulation available. Again, this art is free to use courtesy of @elgeko.
You can see more of @elgeko's work here, his professional graphic career is too extensive to list, he is easy to work with and has contributed art to several Steem Projects.
If you are in need of custom art for your project hit him up on discord.
Curation Trail:
Eyes on the site (manual curation) In my opinion is the best method of curation, however, if you don't want to or don't have the time, you are welcome to follow my experimental curation trail.
The vote by @whatsup triggers the trail and is followed 1 minute later by my other small accounts and 4 minutes later by @adsup voting at 45%. If I voted it, I read it. I read and vote for a variety of different users and types of content, including some small accounts and established content creators that add value to Steem in my subjective opinion. The trail is an experiment and subject to changes, but I will announce any changes.
SMALL PRINT: Yes, I am likely to earn curation rewards if you follow it, just saying it out loud so there is no confusion, however with @adsup following you are likely to earn curation rewards as well.
You can follow my vote using a simple tool @disregardfiat of @dlux-io made here are the details.
https://steempeak.com/@dlux-io/curation-trail-api
Also, Autovoter and other tools are available if you have any questions, feel free to hop into SteemChat and ask. You will often find @elgeko and @disregardfiat hanging around. https://discord.gg/nJaB5b
We also have a #suggested Downvote folder in the discord. It's my goal to work with our current projects and make curation, promotion, and engagement as easy as possible. Stop in to talk to us and do some networking at the same time!
We value Steem and it's community so others will as well!

Did you use Palnet to be able to do all these tags? What tags should I be using to earn free crypto? Should I mainly just be using Palnet?

I used busy.org, if you use busy as the first tag you get a nice vote from them also.
Steempeak.com also allows a lot of tags.
Use Palnet and Neoxian for tokens there are a couple of other general tags as well.
If your post is investment related you can use steemleo also.

steemrewarding.com I'd have to say is one of the best auto-voters around, it provides features for Trails that I couldn't find with any other tools. It allows you to either follow anyone's curation upvote trail, downvote trails, or vote for all posts and/or comments posted by specific authors (with a lot of different rule parameters to choose from)
FYI: You don't need to 'activate' a curation trail on SteemRewarding, you can set it up to follow anyone's vote trail regardless if they have visited the site before.
[For those of you in Asher's Engagement and Curation League and who are going for the Spot Prize, be sure to set up all your trailing rules to EXCLUDE posts from you as an author, or you'll end up with an accidental self-vote possibly ;) ]

@whatsup,
I think Steemians should spread good news about #newsteem in other social networks. Most people knew bad about us like therealwolf shown before! So all these tools and everything might be a great inventions for reaching that goal! Yeah you read contents and upvote! That's what we can't see from most of whale accounts here!

Most of them are on Discord. I dunno if they're on steem.chat but you can join it too. 😊 But there might be no file folder there. 😆
