We are preparing everything to the beginning of the @blurtchallenge curation initiative and for this reason we launched a new curation tool that I created a few time ago which encourage the engagement making possible to build a descentralized curation team to upvote posts by leaving a simple command in the target post in form of a commentary. We present to you Blurtseven curation tool:

This tool is Open Source under GPL 3.0 .

The tool has a simple bandwidth system that regulate the power consumition, 100% bandwidth means a 100% upvote from the curation account, so curators will have the freedom to upvote with any percentage depending of your available bandwidth, this value can be reset everytime with a simple cronjob.

Curators can't vote from themselves so it reduce the posibility of take advantage from the curation account, the current version doesn't have UI but we are planning add it soon.
