<h1>What is C²?</h1>

<h4>The Curation Collective, AKA C² / @c-squared, is a community intended for curators</h4> on the Steem blockchain.  Curators share curated links in the C² Discord server; C² voters review submitted posts for spam/plagiarism then upvote & resteem on the @c-squared community account.

<h4>Any individual or curation group is welcome to join C² on Discord and request the "curator" role:

<h1>Partnership with @steemcommunity witness</h1>

![@steemcommunity witness](https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYVVpr28qhvz51aUmLozTyNzBvd4ArHfWiMCGC6jr86JW/sc-small.jpg)

C² is very excited to announce a partnership with the @steemcommunity witness, a witness project run by @abh12345 and @paulag.  The @steemcommunity goals fit very nicely with C²:
* Empowering Curators, Community Leaders, and Minnows. 
* Valuing engagement and positive interactions.

The "curation" part is an obvious fit, and C² also values and promotes engagement through weekly contests.  This partnership has already yielded a 500 SP delegation from @steemcommunity to @c-squared to help the curation effort.  C² and @steemcommunity witness are looking forward to helping each other grow and achieve our complimentary goals.

<h1>NEW  C³ curation trail</h1> We are excited to announce a new function of the @c-cubed account as an available curation trail at <a href="https://steemauto.com">SteemAuto.com</a>.  Unlike the @c-squared account which upvotes 70-100 posts daily at an average of ~13% vote strength, @c-cubed will cast ~ 10 upvotes daily, all 100% strength votes, on the very best posting curated through C².  @c-cubed is already available as a curation trail and voting on the account will begin in the coming week pending some development on the vote bot.

<i>C² recommends that any smaller accounts wanting to support a C² curation trail should follow the @c-cubed trail.  The 100% strength upvotes allow a vote trailer without much SP to still leave a vote above the dust threshold.</i>

Curating the Curation Collective. Hmmm, that is C³!

<hr>

 @c-cubed will also continue to be a blog about C².  You can expect to see updates about the C² Curation Collective, as well as semi-regular curation posts featuring authors upvoted by C², published on the @c-cubed blog.
