>Already a month ago, @anomadsoul launched a "get to know me"-challenge when RC was introduced and almost no one could engage in any activity. So the ones who could post would pick 10 of their posts and describe with them who they are and how they evolved here on this platform. I really like the concept of this challenge but I will adapt it slightly to make it more personal. I won't pick 10 posts but choose whatever feels convenient for my story. Last week I was nominated by @agmoore to participate, thanks for that 

@samve shares some ways, communities and groups he's been involved with since coming to steemit. See how he has evolved on the platform and some of the steemians he considers to have helped along the way.

>Hey gang as the fake news continues to squawk about distractions and noise to distort perceptions of your world to try to preserve the status quo of perpetual pointless wars and unaccountable governance world wide the plight of Julian Assange continues. This past week a ton of people seemed to get really angry that fake news anchor who was very rude to Trump got booted from the White House. But do all get press passes to the White House? 

Do you get tired of hearing the phrase “fake news”? Want to know how lopsided the media can get and be? Then stop over to read @fatkat's _information wars_  post about just this topic.

>For the recent freewrite with the prompt "flashlight", I wrote about how I like to be out alone in the dark night. That post got a lot of reaction; mostly by people who told me they do not like to be in the dark or urging me to be careful.
>So for this week's Show Us Your California Contest, I thought I would show you some night shots I took as I walked in Coronado California.
>I like this type of roaming. As I said in the freewrite post, the darkness clears my head. I can also get up close to things when no one else is there to see what a nut I am

Seeing things at night through the darkness of the moon can give a person a different perspective then during daylight hours. @fitinfun shares some evening views of Coronado, California in this post.

# Goodbye Tiers, Hello Multiplier! 

Head over to [this post](https://steemit.com/qurator/@qurator/goodbye-tiers-hello-multiplier-we-need-some-input-and-feedback), we are thinking of some changes to simplify the whole upgrade system. Some input and feedback would be greatly appreciated!

## Introducing Referral Bonuses! 

<br>

Dear Qurites,

We know times are tough now and we all have to push a little bit harder. We came up with two programs that will help you earn some extra upvotes and visibility from Qurator, and will also help Qurator to reach more Steemians/your friends that need some extra help. 
<br>
## <center>**Write a post about Qurator.**</center>

<br>


Our long time members know how it all works. You have been with us through thick and thin. 

Share your experience with your friends and followers. We would love to know how our members see Qurator and what they like (or don't) the most about the project. 
Feel free to write in your own native language. We are open to all languages and have already translated our main Qurator post to several languages.
Well written posts will receive some extra upvote love from Qurator and a resteem. :) Feel free to drop your post link in our Daily Qurator comment section, so we don't miss it. 
<br>
## <center>**Invite a friend.**</center>

<br>


Do you know someone who is starting out? Or maybe someone who is posting great posts for a while but still need more exposure? Refer Qurator to your friend and after they get approved and become a member you will also receive a bonus 1SBD upvote on your most recent posts.

There are two ways to do it and this is how it works:

||<center>Option 1 - Referrals</center> |<center>Option2 - Sponsorship</center>|
|-|-|-|
|1|You refer a friend to Qurator| You sponsor a membership to your friend |
|2|Your friend sends registration fee to Qurator and mentions your name in the memo: `referred by @your_steemit_username`|You send registration fee to @qurator with your the person's name in memo: `@your_friends_username`|
|3|Our team reviews the account|Our team reviews the account|
|4|Your friend is approved - you receive a 1SBD upvote|Your friend is approved - you receive 1SBD upvote|



Keep in mind that all registration rules still apply and all account will be reviewed by our team. You can read about content requirements in [THIS](https://steemit.com/qurator/@qurator/qurator-3-0-update-post-guidelines-or-registration-details-or-tier-changes) post. 





*Note: Both programs are open to everyone, not only Qurator members.*

# Steemauto Curation Trail

<br>

|  |  |
| -- | -- |
|https://steemitstageimages.com/DQmRviZWBhhxeNa6TSQKpSitHj3XHmGC24WUxn9uUVTWCG6/steemauto.png| 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. <br>[Steemauto guide and registration info](https://steemit.com/guide/@scrooger/steemauto-full-guide-and-how-to-register)|

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 surprise for a lucky trailer. =P
