Heyyo, @acidyo here!
Although we had a hard time getting set up and started I'm proud to say that ever since we did it has been going really well. Most of the curators have been doing a great job finding new authors and nominating them for the compilation posts and the growth and need for the project has been showing over time.
Even though I personally have not been able to participate as much as I would've liked it has been a great feeling seeing the curators take it up among themselves to do a great job and show leadership for the project. I also want to thank @chiefmappster and @jznsamuel for an outstanding work writing the compilation posts of the first 2 weeks. Currently @ma1neevent is in charge of that and started off great as well!
So far we have had 18-19 curators nominate posts in a discord channel, the curators then do a second nomination and voting on them for the compilation posts and this system has seemed to work out pretty well so far.
Since I only vote manually and have been doing so ever since the beginning of Steemit, it has made my job easier to overview these nominations and vote on them accordingly with my delegation and trail. The ones that made it to the compilation posts have received higher votes, depending on rank in the comp post and on already netted votes. There have been some that I have skipped since other curation guilds or big influence Steemians have gotten there first, but because the main idea with the project is to reward these authors on undervalued posts its all been all good. I have also gone through the nominations that didn't make the compilation posts on a daily basis and rewarding them as well, although with a smaller weight.
The project will be growing organically with the platform, when we need more curators we will be adding them over time, recently we added 3 more after 3 showed to be inactive. The curators get some delegation from me to help curate content while at the same time receiving more curation rewards than they usually would, adding to that I've been voting on the posts at a later time so the curators have bigger a chance to get their votes in thus the curation reward curve comes into effect and rewards them more.
We came to a consensus to distribute the post payouts differently than we originally planned on in the beginning, since we strive for transparency we wanted to make that public here in this post for the platform.
Originally we were going to reward:
All active Curators - 25% of SD
Compilation Posts Curators - 25% of SD
Authors in Compilation Posts - 50% of SD
Authors of the Compilation Posts - 50% of SP
Me, creator and main supporter - 50% of SP
Instead we will be doing this:
All active Curators - 33% of SD
Compilation Posts Curators - 33% of SD
Saving for future Growth fund - 34% of the SD
Authors of the Compilation Posts - 50% of SP
Me, creator and main supporter - 50% of SP
As you can see the only difference is that we won't be adding the extra SD to reward the authors that have made the compilation posts since we believe the bigger votes they get from my delegation and trail and the visibility and support the posts bring to them are more than enough.
This extra funding that remains with the account will be used for future growth which we have been discussing lately on how to evolve the project with other than the compilation posts alone. We have some good ideas in the works that the platform is lacking in general so stay tuned for that!
It has felt great over the last few months watching the activity on the platform grow exponentially and this project doing its best to find authors that are new and are not receiving enough attention to their posts. Exciting times ahead for both the platform and all projects involved!
Great project, well done
@ocd you and your team are doing great. More success to you all.
Thanks for all your good works.. Thumbs up. Resteemed
I agree, good work indeed
Thank you :)
great post
It's good to see new authors getting love. I know I was helped out quite a bit by project Curie at the beginning. It really helps you out when you start to feel like what you post matters....... and gives you money. Money = confidence. Confidence = better posts.
This is a very good project @acidyo. Helping reward good content, but undervalued posts. Keep the good work up. 👍
ayyy thanks @acidyo is a leader of Steemit that is for sure
great work man!

Wait 2 sec..
exactly :)
Doing great things. I respect the transparency.
Could you explain why the featured authors no longer receive the SD rewards?
and since we've decided to come up with other projects to add to it we will be using the remaining SD to fund that in the future.
Good stuff @acidyo! (As well as the rest of the team!) I'm glad this project is working out well for you without issues now! You and the rest of the OCD page are making this site a better place with a much better community, at least in my opinion!
Also, it's good that you guys are being transparent with everything and keeping everyone updated :) Looking forward to the next post!
Thanks for the information .. I will always follow you .. follow me @riansteem ..may be a good friend
great post
Nice project. Finding undervalued posts
Thank you guys for setting this up!!
Team work makes the dream work :)
Thanks again @acidyo for being such a great leader and visionary. Without you none of this is possible. The Steemit community is so much better with you a part of it.
Thank you again for all you do
A great project I am honoured to play a small part in. Bravo @acidyo and the rest of the team
It feels awesome to be a part of #team @ocd. Congrats to the entire team for the great start :)
Thank you. A couple of questions.
Can I take part in the project? Perhaps the curators nominate candidates from a list in which one can register, or maybe they just nomanite posts they like directly.
The SD total that is distributed: where does it come from? Is ther a membership fee, perhaps?
No fee, its being generated through posting rewards.
Currently we only have curators finding posts on their own initiative but will be looking to evolve further in the future and a "nomination application" has been considered.
Thanks!
This is a great project and I always look forward to reading those posts that I may miss in the feed or not be following otherwise!
Just now seeing this, Wonderful post @acidyo! Happy to be a part of the @ocd team, and proud to be helping find great user content that may have been missed!
What is the link to your discord?
Good idea
That's an interesting switch in payout. What do you think is a rough threshold for still being fair, but switching from rewarding the curated authors to saving for future projects? Is it based on the total SP that you are using for upvoting them, the actual value of your upvote, or some ratio of those relative to the payout of the compilation posts? As a curator for the @foraging-trail under the SteemtTrail effort, I'm trying to be sensitive about this topic. I know other folks have gotten some pushback for how they have featured and profited from writing posts about other peoples' posts. Thanks.
I just found out about this project, looks like u just started though too.
Always respected your ethics and actions here on Steemit. Will follow this project.
SteemON!
This is a great project and you already promoted my friend @jrej! I enjoy the transparency and your commitment helping new authors, especially those who post original content - the Steemit community is nice, but it's tough to get noticed in a sea of resteems. Thank you!
Greetings @ocd !
I found this post to be a great post and valuable to our Steemit community!
I just posted a new episode of ~(~Q2C2~)~ and featured your project in hopes to advertise it and bring in more support!
Keep up the great work!
SteemON!
