Welcome to the Qurator Tiers update!
As a member of @qurator we already know you post original content and we fully support original quality content, especially from minnows. We send out daily upvotes to all our Qurites if they post, but if they show some participation or invest in @qurator we feel they deserve some better rewards from @qurator. That's where Tiers come in. Below you will find all the members of @qurator and their respective tiers.
Upvote Tiers
In the past we said that T1 and T2 members need to upvote the Daily Qurator post to gain access to T1/T2. We have now changed this to all @qurator posts. Thus, if you upvote 7+ of any @qurator posts in one week you will gain access to T2 voting. For automated voting we suggest using Steemvoter
The 1% supporters/upvoters...
It has come to our attention that some users are taking advantage of the Upvote Tiers. The original rules were:
| TIER | Requirements |
|---|
| Upvoting @qurator 4+ times a week | Tier 1 |
| Upvoting @qurator 7+ times a week | Tier 2 |
This was mainly put in play to give Qurator more support towards earning SBD for leases. Most of the SBD we earn go towards our members with leases or payouts for competitions. There have been some members that do upvote our daily posts but by only 1%... this is not support though. We understand that every member has a different amount of SP though. Thus, we will be counting upvotes only if they are worth at least $0.01.
We know some members don't have a lot of SP and even their 100% upvote is not worth $0.01. We will still count your vote if we see a 100% vote even if it's below $0.01.
Below your can see examples of upvotes that will and will not count towards the Tiers:
1% = $0.00 will not be counted
100% = $0.00 will be counted
Any % = at least $0.01 will be counted
I know this might not sit right with some Qurites but the Qurator project cannot support all the Tiers if some users show us support with $0.00 upvotes while they can support the project and all members with a higher upvote. We are not asking for your 100% upvote. We just think it fair that we support the users who support the project and their fellow Qurites.
NOTE:The Upvote Tiers (1 and 2) are counted 12 PM UTC TIME ON MONDAY and if you failed to upvote before our count your Tier might be lower than expected. Upvote values also decline/change over a 7 day period before the post reaches payout. The time of your upvote might have been $0.01 but by the time the posts reaches payout the values are less/more.
This way we can award the T1-5 members more since they are actively supporting the project.
If you want to support Qurator more we suggest delegating or upvoting our Daily Qurator posts. This can be automated with Steemvoter (guide to set up a Steemvoter account HERE.
Delegation links:
After you click the link you will have to check the value, click next and then enter your steemit NAME and Private Active Key to delegate. Please remember to leave at least 50SP in your account!
What if I upvote and delegate?
YES, delegations and upvotes stack.
Example: Delegating 300SP and upvoting the Daily Qurator 7+ time a week will place you in a T5 membership slot.
Current Tiers with their Upvote Weight and Upvote Worth
Changes to Tier 0 upvote weights.
It has come to our attention that there are a lot of members that registered with Qurator, but that are not actively supporting the project's growth. This is not a necessity but is always much appreciated. We tend to give more support to those who return the favor. You are not just supporting Qurator but all 860+ members. Most of our profits go toward leases so any upvote helps all of us.
Tier 0 Members are not really active and we respect their choices. We are not forcing anyone to Upvote/Delegate. We just feel it is more fair towards supporters to get more rewards as a token of our appreciation for helping out the Qurator project. It's a group effort.
All Tier 0 members will be upvoted with the @qurator-tier-0 account. With the main @qurator account being close to 125K and not being able to upvote smaller than 0.5% the second account had to be created in order to support tier 0 members.
We currently have around 123 000 SP. We will be staying at 123K for a few more days then we will drop back to around 112K unless we get some more investors or some more support from bigger upvotes. With the current SBD/STEEM rates we are not generating enough STEEM to keep up with all of our leases. Luckily with the new Tiers in place we are seeing some great new investors helping out and supporting the project. Thank you so much!
Introducing 5 new Tiers!

 | Delegate 1500SP+ to @qurator | Silver weight - T5 x 3 |
 | Delegate 2000SP+ to @qurator | Gold weight - T5 x 4 |
 | Delegate 2500SP+ to @qurator | Platimum weight - T5 x 5 |

Tiers
| TIER 0 (upvotes from @qurator-tier-0) | TIER 1 | TIER 2 | TIER 3 | TIER 4 | TIER 5 |
|---|
| 3.5% | 0.5% | 1.1% | 2.3% | 3.3% | 4.8% |
| $0.03 | $0.08 | $0.15 | $0.31 | $0.46 | $0.62 |
Elite Tiers
| Copper | Silver | Gold | Platinum | Diamond |
|---|
| 9.6% | 14.4% | 19.2% | 24% | 57.6% |
| $1.23 | $1.85 | $2.39 | $3.00 | $7.16 |
With all the tier 0 members being upvoted by @qurator-tier-0 the main @qurator account should see some better Voting Power regeneration and the upvotes will be worth more as the voting power recharges.
Calculated at around 80% voting power via Steemnow.com with STEEM at $1.85
With the price of Steem being quite low the vote values dropped a lot. Another reasons for voting percentages being much lower than before is that the new bot is not missing posts anymore and is actively seeking out posts after 24 hours of your previous upvote. There are a lot more upvotes going out! We decreased the voting weights to see if we can get some more Voting Power generation in order to give slightly higher upvote values.
Qurator Selfvote
Our account is now big enough that a selfvote will make a big difference in the long run. Most of our profits go towards leases and our members. Our selfvote will start this week, thus the voting weights will take a dip and then from next week the values should increase. With our selfvote and we can show extra support later on to all our members. We will do the upvotes near the end of our post payout to ensure all our members upvoting us will get some extra curation in. ;)
Mutual Project support - Paused
We have formed and alliance with the Silver Gold Community. @silvergoldbotty will be upvoting one @qurator post a day and we will be upvoting one @silvergoldbotty post a day. This is experimental for now. The reasoning behind it is that we will be able to generate more SBD per week and with more SBD we will be able to better keep up with our leases as well getting some new ones. Thus, even though the voting weight will decrease the actual value of the votes will increase since we will have more SP later on. =)
If this goes well we will look into mutual support between other projects as well. =)
All Tiers and their respective members.

Thank you
We have over 1200 members and Qurator is grateful and extremely proud of all of you awesome Qurites! We are still growing but only in numbers and not really in SP. With the current rates and prices of SBD/STEEM we are trying our best to keep up with leases. We might have a flash Tier sale (like in the olden days =P) where we will accept steem for higher tiers. Stick around on Discord for more details. The tier upgrades will most likely be 12 Steem for Tier 5 and 8 Steem for Tier 3. These tier upgrades will last for 40 days. Like we said, this is still a maybe. Depending on what the SBD/STEEM market does.

this is cool and I'm starting to get the hang of it lol. I'll hang out in tier 2 for a week and then delegate something
Awesome! Hope to see you in the higher tiers soon! =)
upgradet my delegation
Welcome to the ELITES! =)
You are doing some great work here. The community thanks you even though we might not say it enough.
Qurator is by far the best minnow support voting bot there is.
Consistent, flexible and has the ability to grow with you throughout your Steemit Journey.
Thanks from the Q team. Many thanks and really appreciate all the feedback and support from all the members. It is indeed you guys that make Q work. We just oil it and keep it running. =)
I think I'm supposed to be in tier 2. I have my autovote set to 2x/day I'm pretty sure.
Edit, I dont know why but it does look like my auto vote didn't do what it should have. Grr.
Next week I guess!
Whoops! Maybe your Voting power is drained too much. That would prevent upvotes from going out . =)
I use steemauto which works perfectly for me :)
Also @qurator in the curation trail :)
I do upvote the Daily qurator blogs 7 times last week and the week before, but... I'm still at tier 0
Some of my friends too , feedback about it. What is wrong? Anything i missed?
Hmmm... Maybe you are upvoting the wrong posts? Didn't see any upvotes in the last 7 days. Are you upvoting @qurator? Can't seem to find any record of it in https://steemd.com/@pizzapai.
If you have Discord, come swing by and chat with us so we can see what might be going wrong.
Yes those qblog you have shared or resteemed.
Ah, there's the problem. Upvoting resteems are not Qurator posts. For the Tiers you should only upvote @qurator posts. like this one for example. Then also the Daily Qurator posts, Tasty Tuesday/Photo Friday.
We count all the upvotes on MONDAY 12PM UTC Time. So swing by to get your votes before then. =)
The other easier solution will be to set up an autovoter like steemvoter/steemauto
Alright. Is 4 post minimum right?
4 minimum to get T1
7 to get T2
Ahh good this is very clear now. Thanks!! I will help to share with my friends to clear the doubt. Thanks!
It looks like I was dropped off the list for some reason. Please help.
Whoops! Slip of the finger there. Off the post, but in the bot so no worries. =)
Great initiative to add more tiers. Still waiting to get to our point of 500SP before we delegate. Not quite at the halfway mark, but we'll get there within this year we reckon. 😊
✈️👫
Within this year for sure! Just keep doing your thing, we are rooting and waiting for you! 500+ before July!
That's a target and a challenge! We'll delegate 200 SP if we get to 500 SP before the 1st of July. 😊
✈️👫
