The Bitcoin virus has infected Robert Shiller.... The Nobel Prize Economics Laureate has soften his views on Bitcoin...
Author: @daudimitch
Curator: @nicnas
-=- It is always good to see large political figures and influential people invest into crypto. Not only that but just them showing interest with spike interest in others. Cannot go wrong with Robert Shiller speculation in regard to bitcoin and crypto in general. HODL. Thanks @daudimitch -=-
The Amazon Rainforest
Author: @philippbuxbaum
Curator: @nicnas
-=- I got goosebumps reading this post. I have never read a such in depth guide on the Amazon rainforest before. Its amazing and I really want to visit this place now. It sounds like a dream. Just watch your step :) -=-
Blog 04: "Antique - "Where Mountains meet the Sea"
Author: @micch
Curator: @nicnas
-=- I don’t know if it’s just a lot of travel posts that I found good today or just that I need a vacation but I keep finding them. This one by @micch is definitely a good one. Here she goes to Antique after she got her Accreditation, which I am not sure but I think it is part of a Degree program? But nonetheless it looks like @micch enjoyed her break from school and so did I. -=-
We need a "Decentralized Exchanges Link" for Steemit front-end! To make users to start learning more on Decentralized Exchanges which is the future for exchanging crypto
Author: @gold84
Curator: @nicnas
-=- Steem and SteemIt, and really crypto in general, is built off the users and buyers. This post is a good example of that. Peoples input into what is needed is huge in making this platform of ours one of the future. Here @gold84 has a great suggestion for the SteemIt team to implement links to decentralized exchanges to buy steem. Similar to what they did for blocktrades. Thanks for the input, maybe they will listen. -=-
🚭 How smoking is harmful to your health 🚭
Author: @igider
Curator: @nicnas
-=- This post is very self explanatory I think. But for me the subject us very important. This post focuses on the detrimental effect smoking has on our bodies and how one can deal with it. I wish everyone who smoked would stop. Its terrible for them and for everyone around them. Thanks @igider, I hope some smokers will take your suggestions to heart. -=-

How do you get featured in our Curation Digest?
Submit a bid to @buildawhale for 1.000 SBD or more and collect your upvote. Our curation team will look through posts submitted through our service and pick our favorite posts. The amount you bid is not a factor in the choice of posts featured in our daily Curation Digest.
Our Curation Digest was built on the idea of rewarding good quality content and not low effort spam. By doing this, we build a stronger better community and support the future of Steem.
My creator @themarkymark (witness) and @buildawhale are strong supporters of the Steemit community and want to see it grow into something magnificant. The Curation Digest is built on that mentality. Reward awesome authors producing awesome content.
If you want to support our efforts, there are a few things you do to help us.
Steemvoter @buildawhale
Adding @buildawhale to your steemvoter.com account will allow us to have more funds to pay our curators and to reach additional markets. We would love to do native curation in native languages outside of English. We would love to go back to a 7 day schedule rather than the current Monday-Friday schedule we currently have for our Curation Digest. All the revenue from @buildawhale bidding & Curation Digest goes to growing @buildawhale Steem Power, Rewarding our Curators, and expanding our services.
Donate Steem Power
Donating steem power to @buildawhale or @buildawhaletrail allows us to provide larger votes and will increase our trail service to further reward authors featured in our Curation Digest. Currently @buildawhaletrail is in our [PreVote Club] but when we have additional steem power it will focus exclusively on authors featured in our Curation Digest.
Write a post about @buildawhale
We love to see community posts about @buildawhale. We pride ourselves in being different by not selling our votes outside of the bidding windows, minipulating bids, and putting everything we get back into growing. Our new PreVote club rewards @buildawhale users with additional votes and allows Steemians to get valuable curation rewards. Our daily Curation Digest helps promote quality content and feature great authors. Our new partnership with @steemvoter.com will provide massive rewards to being featured in our Curation Digest. Let others know what we are doing and how we trying to be different and transparent.
Vote for @themarkymark as witness
As a witness @themarkymark has proven himself to be transparent, ethical, and technically competent. A witness vote helps produce funds to drive community driven projects.
i send u one sbd and receive no upvote
The post was too old, we cannot vote past 6 days 12 hours, the blockchain doesn't allow it. We recommend not submitting anything past 6 days 8 hours to account for our 2 hours 40 minutes bid windows.

I sent 1 sbd to buildawhale but no upvote recieved. Memo was:https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@mam/lynnette-zang-economic-collapse-in-2018-preparing-for-the-stock-market-crash-is-coming-dd7d06f460b2e
Your post was too old, the Steem blockchain does not allow votes past 6 days 12 hours. Due to our 2 hours 40 minutes bidding windows, we recommend not submitting anything older than 6 days 8 hours.

Hello. @buildawhale I couldn't receive upvote on my following post from last bid(sent 1.2 sbd) ,Please fix this:
;https://steemit.com/food/@sneak01/oren-ice-cream-recipe-d7d4f3b9daf77
Sent refund. The big was valid but came in as a dust vote.
The window was so busy and our vote weight is so high ($500 now), that the smaller 1 SBD bids were too small to be an "effective vote" and it got rejected. We haven't had this issue in a long time and the only solution would be to raise our minimum bid again. Luckily, that amount of bidding at once almost never happens. I made an adjustment to our threshold so it hopefully won't happen again.
Since this was not a user error, I am able to provide a refund.
Same problem with my bid. It's second time but later i got upvote for first post & my latest bid's upvote is still missing. So what should we do in future to prevent this situation? My bid was also 1 sbd.
I don't want refund but I hope i will receive upvote in fresh bid.Anyway, Thanks for you services dear @themarkymark
Here is memo:

Sorry my dear, i just receive upvote. Thanks again ♥
Great work dear. Your projects are supporting many steemians like me. Thanks & best wishes for your efforts.
I also want to tell you that I sent 1.1 sbd in last bid but didn't receive your upvote. I write original content & I hope it would be added in fresh bid & i would receive your upvote. Here is the memo

Wow
May i know what i need to do for my post selections for curation
Our curators review 400-600 posts a day and will select five of their favorite posts to be featured. They are selected based on the quality of the post.

Bonjour à vous, j'adore votre contenu sur votre blog, cet article est très passionnant comme d'habitude je n'imagine pas le temps que ta du prendre pour le faire. Je suis très triste que ton travail n'est pas apprécié à sa juste valeur car tu mérites 100 fois plus de popularité et je ressens que tu fais ça par bonheur et moi j'ai énormément d'administration, je te souhaite une très bonne journée et je suis impatient pour ton prochain article. Salut l'ami et porte toi bien ;)
I mistakenly sent the second time 2 SBD to this post: https://steemit.com/colorchallenge/@voronchihin/colorchallenge-indigo-saturday-american-bully
Sorry, we are unable to refund on user error.
If it was sent in the same bid window, they would be combined to a larger bid. If it was different windows, it would have been ignored.
thanks!

STOPI sent 1 SBD 10 hours ago but I didn't receive upvote. Please check it https://steemit.com/travel/@gina2017/my-first-time-in-bali
The URL sent was https://steemit.com/travel/@gina2017/my-first-time-in-bali#comments
The #comments at the end makes it an invalid URL and we couldn't vote on it as it didn't validate to a valid URL.
@themarkymark can I just ask a refund?
We are unable to do refunds for user errors, I am sorry.

Hello! I had sent SBD,but I did't recive for that from you. I hope you can do. https://steemit.com/bad/@konyi/kundefinedltha-tsetaangngayaa
Our minimum bid is 1 SBD, so 0.805 SBD won't receive a bid.
Now, I had understood your plans and I have desires to send 1 sbd to you, but you need to regive my 0.805.

Hi @buildawhale :) I sent 1 SBD 2 days ago to upvote the post below, but I accidentally forgot to remove the "#comments" and I guess that's why the upvote didn't go through yet. Could you please check?
https://steemit.com/travel/@raci/waiotapu-thermal-wonderland---new-zealand---earth-travel-guide-throwbackpack-1513190271-3997328#comments
That would be why it didn’t go through
yep, can you maybe correct the link or refund the SBD?
We can't change links as the bidding window is over, and the blockchain is immutable (unchangeable).

phew, this is quite unfortunate. Thanks for your reply, and I acknowledge it was my error, but other bots (such as @upme) offer automated refund in case of invalid bids. You should be aware that your no refund policy gives you a significant competitive disadvantage over these, and people who made negative experiences are likely to stay away from your service.
thanks for the feature!
wow..
