The Daily Sneak 26 December 2018

in #curation5 years ago

Welcome to The Daily Sneak!!!

We reward quality content, AND content curators! Come for the crypto, stay for the community!

You can earn up to 5 SBI per accepted submission for guest curating The Daily Sneak. Submission requirements are published at the bottom of each edition of The Daily Sneak.

Today's curator is @josephsavage. Joseph is the regular editor for The Daily Sneak, but rarely does he take the opportunity to select the features himself.


The Sneaked Selections




Dealing With Non-Crypto People



I try to keep firmly grounded in reality and not let my crypto expectations get too far ahead of myself, but @taskmaster4450 is still a favorite of mine. He always seems to know what is going on in Steem and in the broader crypto-space. I only wish I had the time for the level of research and amount of writing that he does!
In this article, he talks about the unique beliefs and language that we share in crypto land, and explores whether those beliefs make us some kind of cult.





Baby in the Garden & Cats on Woodland Walks



In my heart of hearts, I love the city. I love the hustle and bustle and everything that is going on. I love being within a few minutes of excellent vegetarian restaurants. But on the flip side... I don't really get out that often. I spend a lot of evenings in, working hard. When I do get out, I'm just as inclined to go for a hike and get away from the city as I am to explore it further. Is the rent premium for city living really justify?

Posts like this excellent meditation from @mountainjewel really make me explore the more thoughtful, nature-loving side. I think the ideal balance would be to live somewhere close to nature, but still have a short commute! There's the rub...





My Token Of Appreciation...



@simplymike shares appreciation for all the talented creators that are still active on Steem. I don't have nearly enough time to properly appreciate all the talent floating around, but I'm glad that it's here! Her heartfelt appreciate makes me appreciate it even more.





Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Ginger, Garlic, Red Onion and Butter



I do not cook. In spite of that, I think the many great foods that people share are one of my favorite things about Steem. I like to look at the pictures, see what spices people are using, and imagine the amazing food. Then I get back to work and forget to eat!

@jaynie has some of my favorite recipes on Steem. This one is for sweet potatoes, with ginger and garlic. (Two of my favorite spices.) I think i would sprinkle a little cinnamon (my third favorite spice, but it looks amazing.





Conclusion

Each of these highlighted articles receives full upvotes and resteems from @thedailysneak, along with beneficiary rewards from this post. Our featured writers sometimes earn more from their beneficiary rewards on this post than from their post itself! In addition, @thedailysneak sponsors featured writers for Steem Basic Income!

Submission Requirements

On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:

  1. You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
  2. All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
  3. You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted. We also check for plagiarism and only highlight original content.
  4. Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
  5. We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
  6. Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
  7. Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
  8. Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.

If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.

Submission Reward

A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBI for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBI for each accepted submission!

With Steem Basic Income now upvoting comments for members that have not posted within the last 7 days, and SBI having proven to be a great value proposition, we are shifting to begin rewarding authors with SBI instead of SBD. This will help The Daily Sneak continue in its mission to discover and reward quality content creators and curators.
