wiser has a curation trail

in steemit •  8 years ago 

If you've ever wanted to vote like I do, there is a real easy way: just register an account on Streemian and follow my curation trail. You have to go through the steps of proving ownership of and activating your Steemit account in order to access the link to my (or anyone's) curation trail. I tend to upvote a lot of comments including my own so you could deselect the upvote comment option and just stick to upvoting blog posts after you join the trail.

Why should you vote like I do? The number one reason is that I make it a point to automatically upvote the work of small minnows whose content resonates with me. At this time my upvote gives these small minnows a small boost (because technically I'm still a minnow, though a whale at heart). If others who want to support small minnows follow my trail, then that will increase the boost that much more.

The number two reason you should vote like I do is to help me with my hands on learning exploration of Streemian and curation trailing in general. If I can get a few people to follow my trail I can start to see some actual stats on the trail page. Any takers?

With that said, there are actually quite a few other minnow support projects going on. If you're a small minnow on Steemit, there are plenty of people here who want to help you succeed. Scroll to the end of this excellent article to get links to some of those other projects.

Great idea!
I'm working through the processes!

Another way I've seen people look for support is by tagging #redfish as one of their tags on the post. It's been a growing community I would say, and I've gotten much support there!

Thanks so much for the tip. I may go through that tag to fish for more minnows one of these days :)

@wiser - can you please help / direct me? 8 days ago I signed up for Steemian and followed the steps with no success...
Update - so anyway, I discovered I mis-sent the SBD to a fake account set up under the name of steemian instead of streemian (with an R) .........ugh

I took a look at your wallet, and it looks like you sent the 0.001 SBD to @steemian. You need to send it to @streemian. You left out the "r" The best thing is to try it again, this time make sure you spell out @streemian correctly :) Once you do, the verification should be pretty instant.

Interesting. I was always wondering how this works. I am still mostly voting manually.

I do a lot of that too. Bot voting and curation trailing allows me to upvote authors I like even when I go through periods of not being engaged on Steemit. The new hard fork favors upvoting round the clock rather than in short bursts. So I have a curation trail, but I also follow a curation trail, which means that if you follow my trail, you'll also be kind of following any trails that I follow.

I will check this option out. Thanks so much for explaining so well. What bot voting do you use?

I use Steemvoter. Details, and a shot at being included in my botvoting list, are in my previous article.

I am learning a lot from you and enjoy reading your blogs.

Thanks so much :)

That's a great idea @wiser

I would love to help other minnows. Thanks for the info on automated voting. Great time saver!

Thank you for this! This minnow wants to succeed!!
Really appreciate your information here and the link :)
