Hello Blurt community 😊 As I believe in the potential of the Blurt blockchain, and even though I currently have limited time to dedicate to it, I have decided to acquire some BLURT on the Hive-Engine exchange and Power Up. In total, I purchased a little over 45,000 BLURT.
This morning, before my Power Up, my account displayed a balance of 5,660 BLURT POWER.
After transferring the BLURT I bought from Hive-Engine and having them available in my BLURT wallet, I performed a Power Up of 45,000 BLURT.
As a result, my account now shows a BLURT POWER amount of 50,000 BLURT, which seems to be a significant milestone.
Since I am not yet sure about being consistently active to upvote posts on the Blurt blockchain, I thought it would be a good idea to increase my delegation to @beblurt, which currently stands at 5,000 BLURT POWER. By exploring the chart on https://beblurt.com/mydelegation/@beblurt, I realized that by delegating 40,000 BLURT POWER, I should receive between 8 and 10 BLURT every day, which I found quite appealing. Therefore, I decided to raise my delegation to 40,000 BLURT POWER, while keeping 10,000 BLURT POWER for voting when I can.
With this done, I have started preparing two cooking-related posts on https://beblurt.com, which I have saved as drafts. I think that the first post will be published within the week. I hope you all will enjoy it.
In the meantime, I wish you all a wonderful day on Blurt :)

You could also follow a vote trail of someone who you can trust to make ethical votes.
Dear @mcedric, your content was selected manually by curators @nalexadre, @ten-years-before to receive a curation from BeBlurt 🎉
🎊 Congratulations 🎉 Nice Power Up 👍 and thanks for the delegation to BeBlurt
Is it possible to integrate your bot with beblurt? Then, anyone who has some Blurt Power and does not have time to vote every day could set own curators
Hi Marius, as I explained in the bot's introduction post, I'm not particularly fond of curation trails. If I created this bot, it was mainly because none of the existing ones had been developed specifically for the Blurt blockchain. Therefore, I'm not sure if I want to integrate it on BeBlurt and prefer to focus on other tasks.
However, since it's an open-source program, it can easily be integrated into a frontend like BlurtLatam. That doesn't bother me at all. To achieve this, some modifications are needed to make it multi-user capable, but nothing too complex (replace the config file with a database and add a loop in the code).
This could also be an opportunity for BlurtLatam to build its own Blurt full node to break away from the official Blurt full node and increase its autonomy, keeping the official node just as backup. Perhaps in the future, it could even become independent from the official image proxy server.
Regarding the bot itself, I'm considering making a modification by adding the ability to define specific percentages or coefficients for certain trailed accounts. The idea is to maintain the current system as the default value and add optional fields for trailed accounts. If these fields are provided for a trailed account, these values will be used instead of the default value, giving the bot more flexibility.
Hi. My initiative https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/socialmedia/@mmmmkkkk311/post-sharing-bonus-2
has shown that people are very willing to share their posts on social media when they receive an upvote. The problem is that I don't have time to publish these posts. I have a better idea.
Everyone who publish a post, optionally will share it on social media and add a link in the comments section
Now we need a bot that scans all comments and finds links to facebook, X, gab etc....
The bot will publish a daily list with posts that have been shared on social media.
I (hopefully also other curators) will upvote these posts and comments. What do you think about this? Are you able to write and run bot like this?
Hi Marius, you have a nice idea (I also like your Power Up contest)
In dev, there's not much that's impossible to achieve; it's all a matter of resources. For your idea, yes, it can be done quite easily if we stick to something basic in terms of the process:
BeBlurt will support the initiative.
I already had a somewhat similar idea, with the difference being that I wanted the comment with the social media link to be made 24 hours after the post, including a screenshot of the statistics on the social media (number of views, likes, and comments) to better reward the more viral posts, thus adding more value to Blurt.
If you don't want to manage the bot, I could integrate it into my process that parses the blockchain and fills my analysis database. In that case, we would need to create an account and grant @beblurt.app posting authorization. But in this case I'd let all Blurtians participate, whatever frontend they use.
I'd like to take this opportunity to warn you about an increase in the number of fake accounts being created by a network stealing the identity of Hivians, such as
norwaylife. Here are the ones I've seen in the last few days:Additionally, there is
mellanna, created byneyaz, andneyazcreated bytanvir2, for whom I have strong suspicions.There is no need to launch two initiatives that will promote the same thing. I will wait for your bot and will probably support it.
It would be nice if your bot would also detect power-ups and publish them:
@account1 powerup: xxxx BP, pending power-down: YES/NO
@account2 powerup: xxxx BP, pending power-down: YES/NO
@account3 powerup: xxxx BP, pending power-down: YES/NO
...
...
then we could visit profiles of those users and upvote their posts
Thanks a lot
