Blurt Curation - Open-Source Curation Game - 14 Apr 2021

Welcome to the newest Open-Source Curation Game.

Some good news, we now have some 72k BP to vote with - about 55k BP comes from a delegation from the witness @busbecq.

As this "curation game" is new, I shall review it on the 1st May and see if there is enough participation to continue beyond then. It is, however, good to see new initiatives emerge and I shall continue to upvote those I am following, even in the absence of participation in the comments below.

These pages are going to look very similar. I have learnt that it's best to have the rules in front all the time as there are always those who seem incapable of clicking a link. However, so as not to cause confusion, I will post a CLOSED comment when a particular post is closed. It really makes no difference if I miss a day, just add your comment to the most recent post. There is also no rush to vote, either, as curation rewards are linear on Blurt.

So... game on...

Open-Source Curation Game

So you wanna be a curator and earn some money? OK, here is how this works.

If you find a good post that you think deserves a vote, leave a comment with a link and just one sentence explaining why.

If the post is voted upon, then the "curator", that's you, will also get a vote at half the weight.

So, if I vote a post 50% then the curator who left the comment will get 25%.

That's it!

Some Complications

There are always complications, so let me go through them before I see the same questions every day.

Is a vote guaranteed? No.

Who makes the final judgment? I do.

Can I curate my own posts? No.

What if the same post is listed multiple times? I shall take the first comment made.

What if I forget to add a short explanation? Edit your comment.

What if I forget the post link? Then you have a far more serious problem.

Will the vote be larger than my commenting fee? Yes, of course.

In what language can the posts be written? Any existing language is fine.

Can others vote on my comment? Sure, that's part of the fun, if this becomes popular you may gain some visibility, but I will still look at the chronological order.

What if you've already voted on a post? Find another one.

What if I see a post voted upon but I don't get the curator's vote? Read the comment I leave on the post and you will see who the curator is.

Can I complain? You can try, although probably wiser to move on.

I expect some level of chaos, but do try and chill out, it just isn't worth the mental anguish.

The aim of BlurtCuration is to support individual curators who improve the quality of posts on Blurt.
@BlurtCuration is managed by @rycharde with the support and delegation from my @busbecq witness.
You too can help by voting for my witness here.
