Doing science in a developing country: my 2 month internship in Malaysia
Author: @shawndove
Curator: @nicnas
-=- Very intriguing story and look into the life of a scientist in Malaysia. I never considered that there would be a difference in facilities between countries. It seems like a daily struggle and instead of doing the work that you are trying to do you have to put all your energy in the smallest of tasks just to get to the science. This is unfortunate as it will slow any possible developments you are working on. Keep up the effort @shawndove. -=-
China is giving ten-year visas to the best meritorious students
Author: @furkan786
Curator: @nicnas
-=- An interesting look into what the Chinese government is doing to attract technology experts in their fields. I know the United States has done many similar things to this offering of long visas. I wonder if what countries will be intrigued by this the most. -=-
Let me be your new favorite song.
Author: @ausxen
Curator: @nicnas
-=- While I have never heard any music from Austen Ballard prior, I have now. It is amazing to have amazing artists filling the ranks on Steem. Bringing with them all of their fans to this great platform with their creative works. -=-
Kodak Launching a Blockchain Solution for Photography Rights
Author: @tradewonk
Curator: @nicnas
-=- Another amazing advancement or investment? in the crpyto space with Kodak working on a new project. This project being the launching of a blockchain devoted to the rights of photographers and the copyrights on their work. They are partnering with Wenn Digital and are supposed to be named KodakOne. The new coin representing this blockchain will be KodakCoin. -=-

How do you get featured in our Curation Digest?
Submit a bid to @buildawhale for 2.000 SBD (Always double check @buildawhale main page for current minimum) or more and collect your upvote.

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 magnificent. 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, manipulating 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

I'm new here, who ll give me a tour on steemit.

Post payout are discouraging as a newbie here
@buildawhale . Please return 3 SBD since you did not vote my post
You know from the previous times you used us, and if you look at the 1000+ users who use us daily, we are not crooks or thieves.
You submitted a bid on a post that was too old, Steem does not allow votes past 6 days and 12 hours. That's why you didn't get a vote.
buildawhale . Please return 3 SBD since you did not vote my post
And the truth is that I had not seen your vote in another of my pots. But I see you took the vote away from me. I think it's not fair as everything was a misunderstanding.
Sorry for the misunderstanding
Brother this message was not with you. I apologize for the misunderstanding
@themarkymark
I sent you 3 sbd to vote this post and you did not vote: https://steemit.com/castellano/@coffefrees/osvaldo-un-gato-con-suerte
the post had 4 days when I sent it to you
The post is over 8 days old and you bid two days ago. And I already responded to one of your many other comments. It was because of the invalid extra characters in the url.
@themarkymark ok, can you refund my 3 sbd? i'm new i dont have sbd, It cost me a lot to win them, you must have the automatic sbd return service, it is not our fault that we are new, the other bots return the sbd, please return it to me I need it so match

2 days ago Transfer 3.000 SBD to buildawhale https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@bradleyhicks/grand-opening-steemitchocolate-com-all-prices-in-sbd
You know what, Thats how I respond to my customers too! Just like they are all a pain in my ASS "Nope" Thanks REAL CONSIDERATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I get hundreds of messages accusing us of scamming and cheating and missing votes. 99.99% are user error or they didn’t wait long enough. You asked me a question, did we miss your vote. I said nope and provided proof. Don’t have time to write a book for everyone.
I hear you and understand to a point, I will allow 48 hours in the future if you still want to do business with me, I initially started with a CONSTRUCTIVE comment but I had a bad day with my zombie family and screwed up , sorry for my weakness. PEACE.
I sent 2 SBD, a sound that I can sound less 1.6, you @buildawhale
That is a good one
I sent you 2.3*5= 11.5 SBD 20 minits ago but you refund 6.9SBD but 4.6SBD did not refund me

Sent a refund for 4.6 SBD. I am looking into why it happened but as far as I can see it is related to many transactions that look similar in a short period of time (which was an old bug in Jussi caching layer but should not be happening anymore).
thanks @themarkymark
@themarkymark and @buildawhale , I like your service and always use it however Grumpycat started downvoting your users due to non compliance of 3.5 days rules can you update pls...
mr.@buildawhale ,I have requested a vote from you by sending you 2,200 sbd for this link: https://steemit.com/animal/@zian/do-not-get-approached-fly-284844621c2ee
but I do not have the advantage of you because only get 4.00 $ vote from you Mr.
So you say that "Being selected comes with a huge reward, upvotes that could be valued as high as $150!" but when I browsed to your curated entries from the past day, I have not noticed any major upvotes except the paid one going to these posts, there are even some posts valued at under 10$ despite the 2 SBD buildawhale upvote! Also, @buildawhaletrail has not voted once in the past week and has a voting power of 0,00$. You mention that one post will be selected as SteemVoter Guild Author of the Day post, but on https://steemit.com/@steemvoter there has not been an Author of the Day post for more than two months!
So is there currently any upvote for posts featured in the curation digest?
We haven't been doing Author of the Day for a while as it was a partnership with Steem Voter and they were getting flagged. We have been talking about starting again soon.
Buildawhaletrail was an account that was created for something else but has not been used yet.
We used to apply Whaleshares to posts featured in the Curation Digest but we don't get them anymore. They were not a large vote, just something to help.
The curation digest was never about big upvotes (except for the one selected as Author of the Day which did receive $100-150+ in votes), it was about recognition and exposure. Posts featured in the digest receive more votes due to the exposure and generally gain more followers as well.
Ok, I understand that, but then you should really update your post description since it is no longer accurate!
As nice as it is to be mentioned in a curation digest, if people are sending SBD to buildawhale instead of another bid bot (even if that one would have a better ROI according to Steem bot tracker!) because they believe they have a chance of getting a big upvote and there is none I would almost call this a fraud... I did so and I know some fellow Steemians who did the same...
