Thank you very much for this amazing initiative!

Everything's been set up for my account to support open source projects :)

Great initiative, I'm all in and it's all setup. Win win for everybody!

Go @utopian-io

Yes!

Quick question: how does this avoid the 30 minute curation window?

Hey @shredz7 all the contributions upvoted by @utopian.trail are reviewed. That means a Utopian Reviewer must have made a review and scored the contribution from 0 to 100 based on the Utopian Quality Questionnaire, which can be found here https://review.utopian.io. It takes at least few hours before a review happens.

So how can @utopian.trail upvote within 30 minutes to get the curation reward if it doesn't know the review value?

This will assure you excellent curation rewards.

Maximising rewards is not fully in our scope, spreading them is. Not so many accounts can cast a vote as big the utopian ones, indeed making the prediction of those upvotes quite beneficial for all followers in most cases.

Sorry I had been confused about the way curation works - I thought no rewards were given out after 30 minutes were over.

There isn't a cutoff for curation rewards is there? I thought you'd get curation rewards for any content upvoted until it's payout. Is that not correct?

Oh I read more and I see that it must have changed since I last read about it

Can you give us an approximate number of votes per day in order to optimally adjust the Voting Power?

In the range of 30

This is great!!! Thank you for setting this up!
It always frustrated me that accounts with a big upvote didn't always do this, it seems like a win win for everyone...

I will say that the SndBox account has implemented something like this before with a SndBox-Alpha account, but the implementation wasn't quite right and they only left a minute between voting, which meant only the curators that got in super early could benefit...

Hey @aussieninja thanks! The @utopian.trail account votes usually at least few hours earlier @utopian-io does, so what you mentioned won't be an issue :)

This is a great value that you have added to the platform. It encourages quality content. Thanks for the initiative.

We have followed your route, it is important to bear in mind that @stem-espanol has its own route with approximately 50 users included. Then you have support for 50 more users. :)

Thanks a lot!

Cool! Due to the same avatar icon, I actually thought my post in danger was actually mistakenly and generously voted by the main account. lol! Thanks a lot anyway!

By the way, @elear and @amosbastian, what about making another bot for posts that didn't receive any voting by the main account? Give some courtesy votings for them in the spirit of https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@blockchainstudio/utopian-bot-sorting-criteria-improvement-to-prevent-no-voting-for-mid-score-postings

If there is such a bot, I'd like to delegate some. Thanks.

Hey this bot upvotes all contributions above 60 including those which may be skipped by the main @utopian-io ;)

Hi, @elear! Thanks for your reply. I know that but, it might be still good if we have a bot ONLY for the posts that didn't receive the main votings :) I think they also deserve some decent voting.

Since the age-weighting score has also just been implemented, no-voting situation will probably be mitigated :)
