Important Tier Update
Starting today we will no longer accept Steem for Tier upgrades. The lease market has become very competitive and we feel that we can grow and support the whole Qurator community a lot better if the members stand together and support Qurator with delegations so that all members can benefit. (For those who sent steem to @qurator for a higher Tier, your higher tier will stay the same until the 40 days expire.)
The voting weight multiplier to Delegation Tiers (3 to 5) have been slightly increased. We hope this will motivate more members to delegate to the @qurator project.
Delegation links:
100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 |
After you click the link you will have to check the value, click next and then enter your steemit NAME and Private Active Key to delegate. Please remember to leave at least 50SP in your account!
Welcome to the Qurator Tiers update!
As a member of @qurator we already know you post original content and we fully support original quality content, especially from minnows. We send out daily upvotes to all our Qurites if they post, but if they show some participation or invest in @qurator we feel they deserve some better rewards from @qurator. That's where Tiers come in. Below you will find all the members of @qurator and their respective tiers.
NOTE:The Upvote Tiers (1 and 2) are counted each Sunday and if you failed to upvote before our count your Tier might be lower than expected. Upvote values also decline/change over a 7 day period before the post reaches payout. The time of your upvote might have been $0.01 but by the time the posts reaches payout the values are less/more.
Steemvoter was down for a while so quite a few members might have been downgraded to a lower tier if they did not manually upvote the last week.
Upvote Tiers
In the past we said that T1 and T2 members need to upvote the Daily Qurator post to gain access to T1/T2. We have now changed this to all @qurator posts. Thus, if you upvote 7+ of any @qurator posts in one week you will gain access to T2 voting. For automated voting we suggest using Steemvoter
The 1% supporters/upvoters...
It has come to our attention that some users are taking advantage of the Upvote Tiers. The original rules were:
TIER | Requirements |
---|---|
Upvoting @qurator 4+ times a week | T1 |
Upvoting @qurator 7+ times a week | T2 |
This was mainly put in play to give Qurator more support towards earning SBD for leases. All SBD we earn go towards our members with leases or payouts for competitions. There have been some members that do upvote our daily posts but by only 1%... this is not support though. We understand that every member has a different amount of SP though. Thus, starting this week we will counting upvotes only if they are worth at least $0.01.
We know some members don't have a lot of SP and even their 100% upvote is not worth $0.01. We will still count your vote if we see a 100% vote even if it's below $0.01.
Below your can see examples of upvotes that will and will not count towards the Tiers:
1% = $0.00 will not be counted
100% = $0.00 will be counted
Any % = at least $0.01 will be counted
I know this might not sit right with some Qurites but the Qurator project cannot support all the Tiers if some users show us support with $0.00 upvotes while they can clearly support the project and all members with a higher upvote. We are not asking for your 100% upvote. We just think it fair that we support the users who support the project and their fellow Qurites.
There are multiple ways to get a higher Tier.
T1-T2 can easily be achieved by upvoting @qurator posts.
T3-T5 are normally for delegations.
Note: Remember Tiers stack so upvoting to get Tier 2 and then Delegating 300SP will place you in Tier 5.
Changes to Tier 0 upvote weights.
It has come to our attention that there are a lot of members that registered with Qurator, but that are not actively supporting the project's growth. This is not a necessity but is always much appreciated. We tend to give more support to those who return the favor. You are not just supporting Qurator but all 700+ members. Most of our profits go toward leases so any upvote helps all of us.
Supporting Qurator with Upvotes/Delegation means you are supporting all the members within Qurator. We use all funds to grow the @qurator account. Thus, all who helps out with the growth of Qurator is helping out with the support towards the Qurator Community.
T0 Members are not really active and we respect their choices. We are not forcing anyone to Upvote/Delegate. We just feel it is more fair towards supporters to get more rewards as a token of our appreciation for helping out the Qurator project. It's a group effort.
Tier 0 upvote weights have been decreased.
This way we can award the T1-5 members more since they are actively supporting the project.
If you want to support Qurator more we suggest delegating or upvoting our Daily Qurator posts. This can be automated with Steemvoter (guide to set up a Steemvoter account HERE.
Check below how you can jump up in Tiers by supporting Qurator.
What if I upvote and delegate?
YES, delegations and upvotes stack.
Example: Delegating 300SP and upvoting the Daily Qurator 7+ time a week will place you in a T5 membership slot.
Current Tiers with their Upvote Weight and Upvote Worth
We currently have around 69 133 SP (up 15 845 from last week) and this seems to be the sweet spot around 70K. With more support from members and investors we will see higher numbers. Our next target is 80K and we could see that number this week! =)
TIER 0 | TIER 1 | TIER 2 | TIER 3 | TIER 4 | TIER 5 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
0.3% | 3.2% | 4.4% | 5.8% | 7% | 8.2% |
$0.12 | $0.71 | $1.07 | $1.43 | $1.61 | $1.96 |
The Surge!
The last week was a crazy week for Qurator! We grew by more than 100 members in 1 week. Since we only update the Tiers once a week (unless it's for delegation, those we update withing 24 hours) we saw a massive Voting Power drain.
Current Values are at 62.4% Voting Power, these values are some of the lowest we have seen so far. We have decreased some of our multipliers and we should see a very slow recharge to higher numbers. =)
The upvote weights dropped quite a bit, but we have new leases in the market that would hopefully bring us to 90K+ SP. So the lower upvotes will only be temporary.
Upvote Weights might change depending on our Voting Power
Qurator Selfvote
Our account is now big enough that a selfvote will make a big difference in the long run. Most of our profits go towards leases and our members. Our selfvote will start this week, thus the voting weights will take a dip and then from next week the values should increase. With our selfvote and we can show extra support later on to all our members. We will do the upvotes near the end of our post payout to ensure all our members upvoting us will get some extra curation in. ;)

As soon as this post goes live we update our bot and the new voting weights will be activated. If there are any errors (we are only human and might make a mistake =P) with your current upvote weight please contact @scrooger on Discord.
Thank you
We just passed 700 members and Qurator is grateful and extremely proud of all of you awesome Qurites! We are growing fast and we have many changes and improvements coming! Thanks for all the support!

Yeah saw you missed the last post. We normally count The posts between the Tier posts. So upvoting any of those will place you in T2.
Thanks for the support. I will upgrade you to T2 in our bot. (not in the post since it will ping everyone again and I try not to do it)

just like to say that i was a level 5 registrant to qurator. i decided against renewing or delegating because of how many times qurator failed to vote on a piece after i edited and reposted. sometimes i post 3x a day, other times it will be 3 days between, yet i can only get one vote on any particular day. i did the math and figured for every $2 vote I received, I was paying $2.5-$3. i see that you only do delegations now. im not even sure how to do the math on that, but if the voting history is the same its really not worth it.

Hi @torico sorry you feel that way. We are currently working on a new bot that will reset the upvotes once a day at a set time so that way you will be able to get an upvote once a day.
Our bot only upvoted members once after every 24 hours of the last upvote received. With the price of SBD being broken as it was, the $2 votes were worth almost 1SBD. Getting even just 10 of those votes would have shown a profit. The math is a bit wonky with the prices being so volatile but in the end we try our best to make it a profitable investment experience.
With the delegation and upvotes towards us will still be way more profitable than self-voting. Delegating 300SP and then just upvoting our posts at around $0.01 will put you in Tier 5.
Selfvoting with 300SP can bag you around $1.21 a day compared to the close to $2 upvote from us. We know our bot is not perfect but we are working on improvements. =)

That's the plan! We have a small team now but we have many ideas and want to keep on expanding! Hard to get some whale support though. Most of our profits go towards renewing leases. That's why we are constantly changing our model and experimenting to ensure we can support all the members. =) Thanks again for your delegation =)
