#newsteem in full force and I already like the looks of trending and how things have been evolving around here. I've already had a lot of talks with Steemians about the usage of @ocdb, many are a lot more careful with using max bids depending on the effort and quality of the content and that's amazing to see. Many of the more established ones have also stopped using it completely which is also great, we hope they will use their earned stake through OCDB well in the future through curation and of course downvoting! I'm hoping that over time OCDB can focus more on newcomers and giving them their kickstart into their Steem journey along with assistance from @ocd curation and @ocd-witness slider delegations that we have been actively doing as of late. Without getting too much into all the activity of @ocd lately as I have my hands super full right now I want to keep this post short.
We've had three Whitelist application/recommendation posts in the past and with the new HF we want to offer more active users on the blockchain another chance to join the whitelist who write high effort and quality original content. For those completely unaware of @ocdb, it works like this:
- @ocd team of curators curate your post and add you to the compilation post, this gets you whitelisted normally
- this means you can now use @ocdb daily by sending it a 2-20 SBD bid for your post, you decide how big the bid should be but keep the downvotes of the community in mind.
- you get a 2.25x ROI upvote as of now (10% goes to the SPS and 50% goes to curators)
- votes are now instant up to 4 day old posts, so you choose when you want to boost your post but here also remember that a lot of attention may also bring in more downvotes
- for more details on how you should use it without possibly being the target of downvotes or getting removed from the whitelist, check out these guidelines
- Vouching for authors through voting on the recommendation or commenting on it has an effect on the outcome depending on the accounts doing the vouching
How to apply for the OCDB whitelist
- Recommend a username or your own for the whitelist
- Add a few examples of their recent posts that portray their general quality
- If they aren't the highest quality authors but you feel they should be on the whitelist due to other reasons (such as what they do on/for Steem) then let us know what that is
- Has to be english content or english + native
There are no limits to how many you can recommend.
Not everyone will make it on the whitelist, we will check each manually and make an unanimous decision.
Check that the user isn't already in the whitelist to save us some time
The stricter guidelines recently posted will also take effect the chances of whitelisting a recommended user.
Thanks for your interest in our nonprofit distribution bot. We want to get as many deserving Steemians onto it and keep increasing the whitelist with more and more content creators joining our network and hope it will at the same time increase retention and engagement.
We have more plans for further evolving our system so stay tuned for more news!
I do want to nominate @costanza.
He writes a daily betting blog, is one of the founders of the Steem betting community and runs a fair Upvoteshares system!
Cheers,
Peter
Thanks for the nomination Peter, being whitelisted sure would come in handy to make sure posts get closer to the linear reward curve number so the ones that give out support also benefit.
Nomination supported !
Things started heating up post hf 21/22 ....need few day to completely understand the new curve and adapt accordingly. I see many already in backfoot
Pretty great isn't it? hf23 should bring in another layer of dynamic change and that one is communities and SMTs and hopefully great for content creators.
Today , I gave up on ceation,now more focus on hitting the button at right time. Help me understand the benefit to creator...
If you create good content, more people will focus on hitting the button at the right time on your posts?
Let see ...after 2 years of creation, now how curation benefits after HF21. Seems it give better result on right.time hit
Yeah.... after 2 years here I have to move to Curation. I don’t get much from my photography, Artwork or other artistic endeavours anymore ...maybe a few pennies....... oh well.
Have to adapt to succeed on #NewSteem. Luckily I am making $$$ from my Videos on Youtube and Hideout.TV ....
Yes...walking alongwith the time is what considered as smart move. Hope the newsteem helps us all in making few bucks rather than making pennies with posts
Sounds legit :D
Maybe change the parameters of the reward curve in HF23, @tarazkp? The curve is fine, but a most profitable payout at 20 STEEM again encourages bid botting, and sounds a bit like a crystal tower decision... 1 STEEM would be a fair threshold..
@blockchainstduio wrote a short analysis here
While 20 is steep, I think 1 Steem is far too low.
It's real; only a small percentage makes more than 1 STEEM on a post.
Finally i catch this whitelist. I want to nominate myself @ignacioarreses to be part of the whitelist.
I was producing original, funny, and diverse good content by myself since september last year.
I discover steemit, and then @dtube and i involved a lot of myself in that daps.
I would be part of the whitelist because i engage a lot with the @dtube comunity and steemians. I made good friends as @nathanmars7 and @prettynicevideo , they can add here some good references about me i think.

Hi @acidyo, I would like to nominate myself for listing in the whitelist:
I usually blog about cryptocurrency, investing and trading. I am also developing a DApp, a trade simulator on Steem blockchain.
Here are my recent blogs for kind consideration:
Future of cryptocurrency: war of utility tokens. How can Steem win the war which has lost current battles (i.e. low ranking).
Investing/Trading versus Content creation: what is the best way to live on STEEM ecosystem (e.g earning Steem or TOKEN like LEO or PAL).
TOKENIZATION of Internet has arrived, but now the question is how to provide value to your TOKEN?
I recommend myself. Below are some of my posts.

https://steemit.com/sportstalk/@ckole/manchester-united-humiliated-chelsea-as-they-dismantled-them-by-4-0-in-the-first-premier-league-season-match.
I also write this for Actifit every week.
I will be glad if I'm white listed. I've joined the discord long ago and I've been waiting for the opportunity to be a part of the community. My contents are real. Thanks for the opportunity.
I'm probably the latest entry who nominates herself. I write only occasionally in English even though I'm fine with that language also. I have been a curator within the German community for some time and currently I'm hosting a weekly game and the German freewrite prompt. I have thought about applying for the whitelist and I decided last night that I want to go for it. Being a Steemian for two years now I'm no real newcomer but I won't be at one any later application date either.
If I would make it to the whitelist I would limit my use of the bot to my English articles and stories, of course.
Those two posts are from the last 24 hours.

Hi! I want to nominate myself. (@flaws) Although my content has not been my strong suit lately, I'm focusing on supporting different projects in the chain.
My content is mostly focused on Spanish (my native language), but I have also made content in the English language a considerable time ago. For example:
Some of the problems solved by Digitex | Digitex, a commision-free futures exchange | Conclusion
The Decentralized Governance by Blockchain on Digitex | Digitex, a commision-free futures exchange | Part 2
I also have good content in Spanish :
¿De qué manera ayuda la inclusión del DGTX en HitBTC?
Trade.io - Un exchange mucho más inteligente que sus competidores.
I repeat, although lately my strong suit has not been to publish quality content, I have focused on giving my support to other projects. For example, my content lately is based on translations done by me and for BlockTrades. For example:

I try to create art. I consider pyrography my main field but I am also writing a book and making some decoupage works.

Could you please add everyone in a separate comment so others can vouch for each individually? :)
Each piece in separate comment? Sure I can do that
I believe he means one account one comment, not one post one comment. We validate accounts as a whole, so if you could add a few examples of your posts in one single comment that would be fine, don't need to do multiple comments
Ah sorry thought you listed other accounts at quick glance like some others had.
No problem.
