Welcome to the 264th Daily Edition of the Daily Qurator. Below you will find some awesome members of @qurator that worked hard to post some good quality content for all you awesome Steemians to enjoy!
The @qurator project was created to help give Steemians some extra exposure and awesome upvotes currently worth around $0.04 - $7.36!
Note: some of you have been curated twice since the start of the daily qurator and some have been curated only once. As the Daily Qurator is gaining fame with every passing day, many new steemians are asking/will ask to join us. So, expect to see posts from new users for now. When the opportunity arises, posts from older users will be curated once again

Presenting The Whole Ballot On Steemit- It's Not Rocket Science
When you go to the Steemit page to vote for witnesses, you are presented with a list of 50. If you want to vote for someone not in the top 50, you have to know who it is and write that name in. Since we’re voting on that page, what we’re looking at is a ballot
That list of only 50 gives that impression when in fact there are over 100 active witnesses. If you follow @witnessupdate you’ll see there are currently 614 witnesses with 131 active
We have all heard about voting for a witness. We also know we have thirty witness votes... but did you know you can vote for thirty of the 614 possible witnesses? It's time to get educated on witness voting. Stop over and read this post, check out the links and maybe tune into @shadowspub coming up with some witnesses.

The Importance Of The Software Development Life Cycle
Running a software and web development company has its challenges. One such challenge is that our client’s often do not understand that we do not often a product as a once off purchase, instead we offer a service that for the most part needs to remain continuous. This is because technology is constantly evolving, so the software we built say 3 years ago, might now be completed outdated and even impossible to use
If you're not in the know about technology and have to hire and IT person or company, they have to keep up on the ever-changing advancements. @begtodiffer is here to explain some software development and what it could mean to you and your business; and why it's so important to be up-to-date.

Day 4- Relaxation At The Beach
A few days of silence at home made me feel very bored. Online and reading science theories have made this brain feel tired. I think I should go outdoors to enjoy the fresh air. It's been like this sometimes the saturation comes just like that. My choice was the beach with some lush trees. I have to do other activities to reflect away from this boredom.
Some quiet time on a beach and a hammock! That's what @ponpase has been up to lately! Head over anad check out this relaxing post and say hello to a fellow Qurite!

My Little Insecurities
My soul feels like it is being sucked into a black abyss of nothingness. Letting it overtake me to not feel the emotions caught between each breath. The torture of how much I feel like I am breathtakingly a disappointment to him
We have all felt this way; as if we disappointed someone in our life. Someone we love.
How do you handle these moments, feelings and situations? Share your thoughts and ideas with @miraimage here. Let her know we have all been there too.

Microscopic Midweek- Naturally Tiny- The U.S.S. Minnowprize
Today we went out foraging for some creatures to take a closer look at! We found some hungry ants (with the help of a little peanut butter frosting), a very grumpy little moth, some sort of chrysalis, and very lush moss to get up close and personal with
@sammosk captures some unbelievable moments in nature in this post. Stop over and see which is your favorite!
NEWS
We will be sending out some comments with the Tier 0 upvote. We don't think many of the members are aware that it is really easy to move up to a higher tier by showing Qurator some support. Let's hope some of the older members can move up in tiers and we can make the whole community a bit stronger. =)
This is by far on of the easiest ways to earn a little extra on your posts. READ the post mentioned in the comment. We are not trying to spam our T0 members, we are trying to help and reward you more. If you need help then you can always come visit us on Discord. =)
Note: You can opt out of the comment by replying stop. Keep in mind if you did not read the post linked in the comment you are losing out BIG TIME! Why get a $0.03 if you can easily get a $0.12 or higher upvote. Take part in the community, you won't regret it. =)
Tier Updates Finalized
Tier updates are out and finalized. You can check out the post HERE.
The short version is that Tier 1 and Tier 2 requirements have changed a bit. Please review them.
A separate account has been created and 30 000 SP has been delegated to it. @qurator-tier-1-2 will be upvoting Tier 1 and Tier 2 members.
A large amount of SP was undelegated from @qurator to accommodate for the new account, BUT the upvote weights have been adjust so they should balance out. Just have to see how the Voting Power holds up with the big change.

Steemauto Curation Trail
We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using SCALED instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.
Steemauto can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprize for a lucky trailer. =P
