[365 Photography Challenge - Day 1 - My home away from home... ](https://steemit.com/photography/@scrooger/365-photography-challenge-day-1-my-home-away-from-home)

What a great coincidence. Had I planned it, I wouldn't have had a better time to introduce **the man and the power horse** behind both @qurator and @make-a-whale projects. Our one and only @scrooger.

Despite being busy with life and despite being away from home, @scrooger continues to take care of all of us tirelessly by running both projects and take care of himself through motivating himself to start a new **365-day-challenge**. 

In his new home **South Korea** away from home **South Africa**, @scrooger starts his challenging journey of exploring his new home while documenting his adventurous discoveries with beautiful photography and sharing it on Steemit.
 
**_Lets all tell @scrooger how much we love him and how much we look forward to following his 365-day-photography adventure._**

[Animal Camouflage - how does it work?](https://steemit.com/steemiteducation/@brotherbear/animal-camouflage-how-does-it-work) by @brotherbear

@steemiteducation is a project that was initiated to curate, upvote and promotes all educational posts made by steemian community members.

As an example, the above image is from a post by @brotherbear that was resteemed by @steemiteducation. The posts has interesting information _(and more interesting images)_ of how animals use camouflage to protect themselves from predators or for trickery and hunting.

In his interesting post about **Bitcoin, Porn and Cyber Security**, @em3 transcribes some of the info that **John McAfee** shared during his interview about the future of Bitcoin Security and the intimate connection between porn websites and our smart phones. 

In his final take away from this interview, @em3 is urging us to..
> Acknowledge that your smart device is spying on you 

**_Bitcoin, Porn and the future of Cyber Security is one of the many interesting and informative posts on @em3's page. Its a good read, so don't miss it while it still can be upvoted._**

When you merge the beauty of poetry with the power of love, a beautiful and empowering poem is born to break the **Walls** from within

That is exactly what @jerrytsuseer created with his talent of weaving words with emotions while keeping the truth embedded softly within

### <center> More Minnow Support</center>

<br>

We are partnering up with a fellow Steemian who is extremely active in showing support for minnows. We will see some interesting posts coming from Q to help out the minnows who write with their heart and soul. We are currently working on some competition ideas and giving away free @qurator memberships to Minnows who deserve it. =) 

More details about this will be shared a bit later. =)

# More info about **Qurator**

<br>

**Qurator** will be a service that helps users who spent their blood, sweat and tears on content creation to get noticed and rewarded for their efforts. Steemit has seen some incredible growth in the last few months and even though this is amazing for the platform, it might make it harder for the new Steemians to get noticed. With daily posts hovering in the 100 000's you can imagine how hard it is to get the attention you deserve for all your hard work!

That's where @qurator comes in. We want to help those who work really hard but still see little to no rewards on their posts. 




---

# What exactly does @qurator do? 

<br>

- We will focus on users who post quality content. Each day **5** members will be selected and their posts will be featured in the **_Daily Qurator_**. 

- Once a day we will resteem a high-quality post from one of our members.

- Members will get an upvote from @qurator once a day. We are limiting upvotes to once a day because we want to keep it fair for all the members.

- More features and give aways will follow as @qurator grows.

# How do you become a member? 


<br>

We want to give back to the community, but this also means we need some support from the community. We will charge a once off fee of **1 Steem/SBD** to register as a @qurator member. You can enter your name or the name of a friend you would like to join @qurator in the `memo` field. This will give you a lifetime upvote membership. We do however reserve the right to decline certain accounts if we feel they do not contribute to posting good quality content or simply find too much plagiarism or spam posts. We have declined members before, we only support original content. We also offered tier voting weights for investors and upvoters of The Daily Qurator. 

You can contact **@scrooger** or **@gingerninja** on Discord or Steemit.chat and request a review. Once reviewed we will let you know if you qualify to become a member.  Afterwards simply transfer the registration fee to the @qurator account and you are all set up. We might not respond right away as we are only human and also need some sleep every now and then. Rest assured the bot sending you sweet upvotes will never sleep! We also have an awesome Discord channel that will spring to life once all you awesome members join. The Discord link will be sent after registration.

<center>![Tiers.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPtaaQ4hxtgSB7sBqFVWwo9r5hkQuCEqGYQSRHdULehMe/Tiers.png)</center>

<br>

We worked out our voting weights to ensure we always stay very close or above 80% Voting Power. According to the number of members there will always be a basic voting weight. 

> Example 1: With 10 members each member gets a 100% upvote.
> Example 2: With 20 members each member gets a 50% upvote.

Using the base upvote weight we can have Tiered Upvote Weights for investors of @qurator. Because the investors help @qurator grow bigger, the base upvote weight goes down and the investors gets bigger upvote weights. This way even the non-investors still benefit since the overall Steem Power of @qurator increases. 

There are 3 ways you can become an investor in @qurator. 

> - Upvote The Daily Qurator post each day. This can easily be automated by using Steemvoter, follow this [guide](https://steemit.com/guides/@gingerninja/a-minnows-guide-to-start-using-steemvoter-com-or-and-how-to-setup-rules-to-automate-some-of-your-posts) to set up Steemvoter. 

> - Send a certain amount of Steem (values below)  to @minnowbooster with `4 qurator` as you memo. This will lease SP for @qurator and give you access to a Tiered Status Upvote. 

> - Delegate Steem Power to @qurator. (We can help with that, simply visit `sp delegation support` in our Discord channel.)

*Please note: For The Daily Qurator upvote related Tiers, we check the upvotes on posts once a week (Every Sunday) and adjust the Tiers accordingly*

After reviewing the Tiers you can decide how you would like to jump up in tiers or invest. @gingerninja and @scrooger are available on Discord for any assistance or questions or you can comment on this post if you have any questions/concerns. 

All the members can see their Tier Status once a week it will be posted in a separate post each Monday. Rest assured as investors and members go up or down in tiers their voting weights will be adjusted at the end of each day.

# Help us, help you.

All post payouts and registration fees will go towards growing the @qurator account. We believe in sharing our power and not pocketing it for ourselves. Great posts need to be noticed and we want to help with that.
