Hey everyone!
Just wanted to let you all know that OCD is back at curating undervalued newcomers that write original content!
We had a short break to reasses and are now back at it again. There are quite a few things going on in the background with OCD that I wanted to talk about as well and let the community know.
OCD-bot will soon be finished and running.
The purpose of this bot is to support all unique authors that have been nominated by the OCD team so far, currently over 800 people. The list of those users can be found here if you want to check if you are one of them!
The bot will be a non-profit bot, meaning that all curation rewards earned on it will be sent back 100% to the people delegating. I will also be sacrificing my own curation rewards in order to increase the curation rewards of the OCD-bot by voting after it.
Manual curators have been encouraged for some time now to front-run my votes on nominations by the OCD team for increased curation rewards and knowing they are going to the right place and people. If you have not been aware of this, all you have to do is either vote on the @ocd compilation posts before 30 minutes and/or vote on the nominations inside the posts which will be voted by me usually a day after giving everyone enough time to look through them and curate. It doesn't matter how much of your daily voting percentage you place into them, knowing that that percentage will have increased curation rewards with my votes following. @miniature-tiger wrote a great analysis on the potential curation rewards you can earn by voting on the @ocd posts and nominations which can be found here.
The bot will be voting at the 30 minute mark on all active authors from the list, while attempting to keep a healthy voting percentage depending on the activity. It will need some adjusting for the first couple of weeks until we find an equilibrium. In the meantime more and more authors will be added to the list weekly. There have also been some plans to vote in a reversed way compared to the busy.org bot that votes on everyone writing through busy.org and places votes depending on the SP of the followers that user has, we are thinking of voting higher if you have less followers to encourage a healthy growth of the accounts. This will probably be step 2 of the bots functions to be updated at a later time.
We are also thinking about adding some liquid Steem to the bot so it can send out full curation rewards on a weekly basis to the delegatees while powering down to keep it going. The liquids would decrease the complexity of delegatees having to wait several power downs to receive their full curation rewards earned that week.
We believe that not only will this bot help discourage users from buying votes from middlemen services earning on each purchase, but it will also encourage users from voting more manually and focusing their votes on a wider range of authors and newcomers. Autovote services will have a hard time front-running these authors as they will be new ones daily, even if they somehow manage to do that - the votes will be spread to a wide userbase which is a lot different than it is working right now where they only vote on popular users they know are going to trend for maximized curation rewards.
If you have any questions about the bot or any suggestions on how to improve it, please let us know here in the comment section.
Thank you for reading!
This is beautiful. This is exactly how neutral bots should operate. Initiatives like this are the best possible counter to possible user churn. The chain of rewarding those who hold most already should be broken. The blockchain itself already exponentially rewards those Steemians more.
Inclusive grassroots rewards are what will grow the bottom of the middle class and keep the platform healthy. Unless being a Washington alike swamp is our end goal.
I completely agree with this. I came to comment specifically about it. It doesn't make ANY sense to reward people who have already grown.
I will say that perhaps we need to pay attention to people who might just be moving there money directly out of Steem to sell.
I could see us supporting someone who just sells all of their Steem.
Is this something specific that we need to worry about?
Agreed!
Really looking forward to this bot, sounds like a very good thing for the newer / lower repped users.
This is such a refreshing change from the approach taken by the pay-for-vote bots. As a Steemit user, I really appreciate OCD's emphasis on curating quality content, which will increase the overall value of the platform. Reversing things from the busy.org approach means that the curation rewards from OCD will avoid a Pareto power law distribution (i.e., rich authors getting richer). Distributing the wealth more equitably will help more people profit, creating a multiplier effect for the Steem economy. And @acidyo never ceases to impress, giving up the potential for personal profit and donating his curation rewards for the good of the project. That's commitment.
This sounds really good. I'm fairly new on steemit, but have been overwhelmed by people wanting me to pay them to upvote me. Thank you.
This is good, I couldn't make it to the list but I will keep posting as much as possible.
Yo man! nice to see all the @ocd people again and with that rocking bot. And by the way, the streaming curation we ran at @curazao project is in order to collaborate to whatever @ocd or you need to be involved. As everybody knows... your and the Ocd team curation work was and is very important to feed this sea.
Hello mate! How I wish there were some more amazing people here on the platform! This OCD bot is for me the best innovation till now on Steemit for content creators!
Who else apart you can think of creating a bot without making any profit for yourself!
Thanks so much for this and I am so happy to be part of the 800!
Cheers!
Totally agree!
If anyone ever questions what you are trying to do to help this platform all they have to do is look at statements like this:
Who else is doing this? It would be real easy for you to just use your SP to upvote only your own stuff and make sure to vote before everyone else to get the highest curation rewards. Thanks so much for all you do, so happy to be a part of OCD!
Thanks @mk40, really great to have you on the team!
You are doing an amazing job. I solute you sir. Steemit needs more men like you. So that 'whales monopoly' as some people describe it, can be broken. hats off to you .....
I want to say thanks to the OCD team.. This is really an amazing project.. This project will inspire new authors to write original contents... What I liked most is... Voting higher if someone has less followers to encourage a healthy growth of the account.. Keep doing good work.. All the best!
please let me know what does OCD stands for @acidyo
Operation Curation Delegation.
The curators that join the team receive delegation by me and my delegated support on the posts they curate.
thankyou so much for info @acidyo
This is exciting and I'm so glad I to be a part of OCD moving forward. The bot makes finding worthy, unknown Steemians even more important!
Awesome, man! Glad to see that the downtime wasn't too long and that you guys are back up and running!
Excellent service, well i think this bot is great development and it surely gives nice encouragement to new stemians and authors to continue there journey in steemit, i heard about OCD before but today after reading your post i get good knowledge about how OCD actually works, i think it will be great if OCD adopt busy.org way of upvoting but busy won't consider sp of the author, it only consider how much a author have following and then set's it's voting wage, but all in all fantastic development though, Stay blessed
Yeah, that's what I meant by a reversed busy.org function. We will be voting more on authors which have followers with less SP combined.
nice post
plz like my post plz https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@chandravibha/bitcoin-and-ethereum-prices-take-a-hit-after-another-cryptocurrency-was-hacked
Excellent, thank you very much for the kind response.
That's a great initiative ! Shouldn't you also take into account the Steem Power owned by someone for the voting percentage ?
Also, I checked and I am not on the list you linked to even though I got curated for the OCD International on this post. Is this something I should worry about ? I guess not since I also got curated one day after that list was posted but I just want to be extra sure.
Anyway, thanks for everything you are doing for this community !
Its not updated since your nomination. :) Nothing to worry about, it will get updated in time!
Yes, we do take into account that as well when nominating and will be keeping a close eye on the ocd-bot votes once they start going out. :)
The OCD team is doing a great job. The chosen post is really interesting. Congratulations to everyone. I am very proud and happy to be part of this team and hope to bring my small contribution from Italy! Thanks for this clever initiative @Acidyo
can't wait to see the ocd-bot in action... hope others will follow suit and see the benefit of sustaining users on steemit instead of just seeking profits. way to go @acidyo!
Thank you very much for your help. It makes me happy that the team cares about all users. ))
This is great! I'm new on the Steemit community and this motivates me to do much more!
Very cool... I like it :)
This is great!! I had two undervalued posts a few months ago. I'm def going to check out the other posts and people. Great news!
Glad to know, @ocd is back to action. I will delegate for sure when I have some to delegate. Keep up, team.
something something looks airplane now....

very good work and I would like to support..
too good man. tell me about in details
What would you like to know, specifically?
yes
i'm so glad
thank you
I like it.....
OCD is the greatest project I would think . Many many many more other boards and projects and I am continuously following OCD to know all about it and as you had said it soon will be active. It's a great and a very Happy New Years for me and I will definitely be contributed to it because of the whole delegation value pass on to the users. Thank you @acidyo
glad to see
Thanks for sharing such a great projects.
Great work!
How does OCD stand for??
I have been seeing alot of it but i dont really know what they do in general and how to be part of the team
Did you scan through their previous posts? They will not be ready to welcome you on the team if you have trouble of simply finding previous posts that explain this. The members of their team are very hard working and independantly motivated.
Thx
what is ocd
It is a curation guild focused on rewarding undervalued newer authors.
Welcome Back.
I might have missed it, but this is an awesome idea. Is there going to be a minimum SP delegation?
Would you consider to find a curator for Chinese community?
very warm welcome you back on ocd-bot new information,i like it very much you done again very super job on this passion keep it up i pray for you all time in my life,GOD Bless You,
Glad to see @ocd wasn't out for long. I appreciate the curation compilations.
I guess I need to look into how this curation earning works too. Cause I've always found at least two ocd curated posts per edition that I read and enjoyed. Thx
Great post. So good to hear. I believe this is also going to help the new members to rise without facing much difficulty.
good information bro.I hoop you upvote following me.
Oh boy oh boy oh boy <3
Thx @acidyo. You are so awesome
welcome
I want to ask you whether the original content is meant to be the content that our imagination creates, and we create it from any source
or content which we refer to certain sources or tribal information and we rephrase it.
what do you think !!
This could be something really sweet to help lessen user disengagement. I hope to see it in action soon.
What about those Koreans eh? SBD boom time!
Hey @acidyo
That's a great idea and initiative. I think authors who are writing original content must be rewarded because that's core strength of Steemit. We need authors who can uplift this awesome platform which encouraging us to build a community of like minded people and get rewarded at same time.
Thanks again and best wishes for your future projects.
Great information, I will back again some day to meet you. I have lot question to ask you and that is very important to me. thanks and much appreciate for your kindness.
Yes that is very good @acidyo
Newcomers should be encouraged with such votes from SP-delegated curator sand able steemians that can do the job well. That is for the growth of STEEM and the eventual growth of the value of stem and steemit.
Wow, congrats! You are doing some altruistic acts for this community. I think I will delegate my few SP to the bot after I will get it back at the end of this week. I don't have the time to curate, as I need to be much time at work so at least this way my SP would help others!
