Welcome to the **249th** 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 $0.03 - $7.70!
 
**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

>What are input devices? The data and instructions are typed, submitted, or transmitted to a computer through input devices. Input devices are electronic or electro-mechanical equipment that provide a means of communicating with the computer system for feeding input data and instructions

Computer basics lesson in this post by @baa.steemit. Do you know what input devices are? I bet you do, maybe you just never knew what they were classified as.

I am the sole contributor to the project right now, but I would love to have the community reporting as well. You can find our blacklist on Githubwhere you can submit a pull request to report plagiarists and spammers

Have you seen obvious plagiarism? Do you get tired of people _spamming_ your comments and replies? If you answered yes, then let @themarkymark know about it. Let's clean up steemit!

<center>@qurator-tier-0 comment</center>

<br>

#### 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. =)

##  <center>Tier Updates Finalized</center>

<br>

Tier updates are out and finalized. You can check out the post [HERE](https://steemit.com/qurator/@qurator/qurator-tier-changes). 

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.

## <center>Steemauto Curation Trail</center>

<br>

<center>https://steemitstageimages.com/DQmRviZWBhhxeNa6TSQKpSitHj3XHmGC24WUxn9uUVTWCG6/steemauto.png</center>

<center>RIP Streemian and hello Steemauto! The new curation trail is active and running! If you would like to support your fellow Qurites or just earn some extra curation feel free to join our curation trail that is active on Steemauto. 

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 </center>
