Hey everyone! While @ocd is currently on a short break restructuring to more efficiently handle newcomers and adoption in the near future, we wanted to give dedicated authors on Steem a chance to recommend themselves or others to the whitelist of the @ocdb distribution bot.
Keeping it short, @ocdb is a non-profit bid bot that has grown to ~1.4 million SP over a short period and currently offers a max bid of 15 SBD with 10% ROI after curation each 24h to authors in the whitelist.
Here is our website: https://thegoodwhales.io/index.html
where you can check the whitelist (ctrl-f to find your username or someone you want to recommend), the queue of votes and the list of delegators and their current daily rewards. Anyone can delegate any amount to it and receive a daily return, @ocdb keeps nothing.
A few rules before you apply for the whitelist:
You write quality and original content in general.
You don't make a lot of rewards on average (cutoff is quite low lately, think over $5 per post displayed on Steemit.com)
English posts only (may change in the future) if you write in both languages then that is allowed.
Only recommend one author per comment, feel free to recommend more authors but please check that they aren't already on the list. https://thegoodwhales.io/index.html
The curators in the @ocd team will look through the accounts and once they've been added to the whitelist we will reply with a confirmation. In case you don't make it this time, there will be more opportunities in the future and you can work on improving your posts in the meantime.
@ocd curators automatically add authors who get curated in the normal curation rounds with the @ocd account as well.
Thanks for reading and helping make @ocdb one of the biggest accounts on the platform. We hope to see stake being distributed as wide as possible to make the platform a more balanced place for everyone!
Rewards on this post will go 100% towards the curators of @ocd.
I recommend @khaimi, there are a reasons why I suggested him to be included in the whitelist.
Wow... Thanks my friend @deltasteem. I really aporeciate. As you know me, I am big fan for your macrophotography. Keep steem on bro.
Great recommendation!
I application here 9 days ago! But don't get any response ! @ocd @ocdb @djynn @m31 @anmitsu @acidyo sir.
Thanks all for the great opportunity.
PS. If people want to delegate any amount to @ocdb but don't know how, they can either do so through the website by logging in first with steemconnect and then going here which is located above the whitelist:
or use this link directly; change 'username' to your account name and the vests amount to the SP amount you wish to delegate (1 Steem is currently 2012.477 vests, take amount of steem and divide it by 0.0004969 to get the amount of vests you have to write in, i.e. 1000/0.0004969=2,012,477.36 vests for 1000 Steem.
http://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=username&delegatee=ocdb&vesting_shares=0.000000 VESTSI know recommending yourself doesn't sound that great, but still... Posting fiction is quite challenging, if only because people don't find the time to read a whole story. My @marie-jay blog has been largely dependent on the good-will of @curie or the @ocd team and I'm thankful for the time curators take to read my stories, but that's hardly a solution or a way to grow my blog, which is why I'd like to be considered for whitelisting.
Supporting this recommendation 100% :)
you should be on the whitelist :)
I would like to recommend the curators account of the german speaking comunity @steem-bootcamp. About this account German-language contributions are rewarded by a changing curator. All donations for this account will not be paid, but solely and solely used for the account can grow. Here not only a single person would be rewarded but one the German-speaking community.
Right now we are supporting content in English or in both English and for example German combined, but since this is a project supporting other authors maybe it is worth a consideration as possibly an exception :)
I'd appreciate it if that were possible. We are also part of the Steem community, languages should not play a role. Many of those we support publish in multiple languages anyway. Especially members of small country communities need support to keep them connected to Steem.
If possible, may I please ask to be placed on the whitelist? I feel odd asking but do provide original content such as short fiction, Finish the Story completions, and an occasional informative piece.
Even if I'm not chosen, this is still a great opportunity for many and will give needed help to those who are struggling to earn from posting on Steemit. Thanks for that.
I think you would deserve it.
That's kind of you to say, thank you! :^)
I hope that you enjoy your evening/day!
You're too sweet, you know? Thanks for the cheer and for making me smile, Felix! 🤗🤗
I would like to suggest @tellurian.
Thank you for your recommendation @svemirac This author definitely should be in the whitelist. Fantastic work.
I agree!
Can I recommend two people? Both participate in doing daily freewrites and they are amazing writers.
One is @wandrnrose7 and the other is one @aislingcronin :) ♡

@wandrnrose7 is already whitelisted.
Also thank you for recommending @aislingcronin, would like to express my support for this recommendation.
Thank you for thinking of me.. 🤗

Hi acid. Please have a look at @eirkah. She posts everyday and would be good for the bot.
great recommendation!
Thank you @jznsamuel :)
Is there a mistake in the username @crpytoandcoffee? Can't seem to find the user.
Sorry m31 @erikah. My mistake.
Wonderful suggestion. Lovely photography and engagement with community it seems :)
Thanks. I agree.
@m31, thank you very much for the kind words :)
Thank you @cryptoandcoffee.
I would strongly recommend @cicisaja for the with list, because she is constantly produce high quality content and definitely she is a real good steem user from Indonesia, she has very high quality engagement ability and one of best @pifc curator, and the other one is @macoolette, I have no doubt that she has real commitment on steem platform that can be seen on her/his engagement and high quality English post. and the last one is @gibic because he has shown his commitment on steem by producing high quality post and beside he is one of curie curator. Thank you very much for your attention
Thank you @el-nailul, you are the one who created great contents and I think you should put your name too. I'mnot that good engagers anymore.. something distracted me. But thanks for your recommendation.
Hehe, look one just payed it forward and I agree.
Thank you very much @el-nailul for the nomination! It will be an honor to be whitelisted by @ocdb as I try my best to contribute positively in this platform.
Thank you so much for recommending these wonderful people. Supporting all of them for whitelisting.
@pifc is already whitelisted tho :)
I recommend the @globalschool with it's initiator @jnmarteau for the whitelist.
you mean @jnmarteau ?
Yes! :)
Yeah this project deserves some support.
I highly recommend @plantstoplanks because she makes great food and fitness content. I recommend @moonunit for his unique quality articles about veganism, @mvd for her excellent makeup tutorials and @el-cr for his environment related content. All these authors deserve higher payouts and I hope they will be considered for the whitelist!
Hi @plantstoplanks is already whitelisted
I agree that @moonunit writes interesting article about veganism.
Great makeup and skin care tips by @mvd. Video is fun to watch as well.
I think @el-cr is a very good blogger. Whatever he writes is interesting to read.
I recommend @joannewong to join the ocdb whitelist because her dedication towards the community especially in Steemhunt, TeamMalaysia, SteemXP & Share2Steem!
Hi guys,
I know it sounds a bit selfish but I want to apply myself for the whitelist. My account @mcnestler. I try to provide quality content and engage with other Steemians. I am quite new but I had some time to figure out how things work here.
In case I am not a good fit, some recommendations for improvements would be highly appreciated.
Have a good day guys,
M
Yeah your work looks ok.
I've noticed a great oversight on the whitelist: @birddroppings isn't on it yet! You all should fix that!
Yeah this is quality shit.
Hello! Greetings, I have had your support several times, in view of that I would like to apply if you accept me on the whitelist. @equipodelta
Another recommendation I'd like to make is @herbertholmes's blog. In my humble opinion, every single post he makes is of great quality. He mostly writes music and film reviews, with an original touch I haven't found elsewhere. Even his most personal posts (those about his daily routine, his dog, snowboarding, mental health, and his journey) add great value to the platform. Hopefully, he will be encouraged to increase his activity here.
Thank you :) Activity to return very soon!
I second this nomination.
Oh my goodness! ^^ 100% support for this recommendation and really hope that @herbertholmes posts more often too!
Me too! He's awesome :) Thank you for the support.
Couldn't help to notice that there are a few exceptional Steemians still not whitelisted (I mean, there are a bunch, but I can't recommend them all haha). I'm mentioning them now.
@quillfire. An excellent writer that with his keen sense of humor surely makes any reader laugh a bit. A blog worth checking!
@ashtv. A professional videographer that has been sharing great content for quite a while now. His latest work, a new music video: 'Theresa' by Cabinet of Millionaires, still has me amazed.
This person definitely should be whitelisted
@onetechtraveller. He "tells stories around travel, gear and tech, with a dash of his entrepreneurial journey as a creative and life experiences". He produces the most complete gear reviews I've seen on the platform. A blog worth checking!
great reviews I agree :) Should be whitelisted
cheers buddy, appreciate the recognition and feedback!
Keep Being Awesome,
One Tech Traveller
Hi Zoe, really humbled and thankful for the feature and recommendation! The steemit community has been really fantastic in welcoming me and sharing the ways to enable people to travel smart and live smart through my stories. As a photographer, videographer and storyteller, creating original content of my own has always been at the heart of it and I've loved sharing it with people here!
Appreciate it and look forward to sharing more goodness :)
Keep Being Awesome,
One Tech Traveller
@thomcytry. The first post I saw from his blog was a reportage of the protests in Paris. With great original photographs, he transmitted well the intense experience. I thought it would be a good example of the quality of his work.
Impressive photography from Paris indeed. Looks very promising. Curious to see what this author will do in the future.
@digi-me. A blog with truly amazing travel posts, well-written and accompanied by beautiful photographs. Worth checking!
Absolutely, 100%
Thank you for your effort and letting us know about so many wonderful authors!
Approving this recommendation :)
@ocd,
I nominate @zoexantelamv. Zoe lives in Caracus, Venezuela and is an excellent writer, in both English and Spanish. Additionally, she is an active curator (Curie, etc.). On this last matter, Steemit DESPERATELY needs enthusiastic and committed Manual Curators ... and Zoe has fire in her belly.
You could do worse ... and you'd be hard-pressed to do better.
Quill
I'm very honored by the mention! It's glad to have one's work appreciated by the community. Thank you for this!
@zoexantelamv is one of the most amazing writers on Steemit. She likes to make free write and she's amazing on it!
@aidarojaswriter,
You beat me to the nomination ... I just nominated Zoe too. In any event, consider my nomination a seconding of yours.
Quill
This is an amazing initiative and I'm grateful for it.
I'd like to recommend Cristina Vaamonde (@aumonde). She is one of the most consistent artistic authors of our Spanish community. She is also a known artist in our country and a former art teacher too. Her style might not be for everyone, but it is unique and well-defined. Also, she recently joined the freewriting movement and is working on the improvement of her writing style. Despite receiving very low rewards overall, she has remained consistent and engaging.
I would also like to recommend myself, for I believe that the content I produce is valuable, especially for the fiction category. Being included on the whitelist would definitely give me some additional motivation to keep contributing and growing on the platform (although I plan to achieve that anyway!).
great fiction work - supporting the nomination!
Thank you!
supporting the nomination
note: @ocdb is to be used for english / bilingual posts
@sra.antropofagia as an amazing conceptual photographer. Amazing photoshoots and amazing work as make up- artist, engaged and very active user on Steemit. Her content is exceptional.
nice recommendation - great photographic collection on the blog.
Hey @acidyo, I'd like to be on the whitelist
I will emphatically recommend a literary talent that arises in front of our privileged eyes: it is @zoexantelamv. This writer shows off a style that often drives us very well over the passages and broken existential paths that we are currently going through. She also possesses sensory acuity, for which her writings, many times, have cinematographic qualities. Please, let's follow and support her creative growth, with a lot of attention.
I recommend @breakforbook, He a good writer - game reviews . last post https://busy.org/@breakforbook/wreckfest-my-opinion
thx my friend :)
I recommend @janton . He posts every day and his stories are very well researched and thought out. The

Thanks for the recommendation! :)
Yeah that is a good recomondation.
Dear @ocd, I have been looking for @ocd for a long time but my luck has not been achieved, if anyone can see the content that I gave all the original and get good appreciation. I hope someone can recommend me. Thank you
Thank you @khaimi, great blog
Thanks @m31. You are welcome. Need your correction too if you find in my post.

I reccomend @miroslavrc ! Great quality content :)
Hey @stavrin :) He is on the whitelist already
I would love to be part!
Until now I used bid bots only 1 or 2 times..
I mostly write content in german, but also in english from time to time.
If I'm added to the whitelist I would only bid for my english content.
Looking forward to an answer. :)
Greets from germany.
I recommend @ilazramusic, @gabyoraa, @zaxan, @zoexantelamv, @exzorltg and I would like to include myself <3 They are amazing authors, artists, with exceptional content.
Please add each author in a specific comment so we can check and confirm them each. Thanks!
Oh! this is a great oportunity to grow up!! Count with me!
I highly recommend @elfranz, his post are not just interesting, also are truly well structured, some of it are truly funny and he's always posting nice stuff.
Also I want to recommend @joseacabrerav, a super talented musician, with a lot of great content, he works with som other talents to bring exceptional musical productions to the platform, you should take a look.
Though he posts a lot of poetry in Spanish and in it is understandable that poetry does not translates well or easily from language to language, the musical bits in his blog are simply amazing and also since those are meant for open mic entries they are in English as well.
Please add each author in a specific comment so we can check and confirm them each. Thanks! :)
Understood, then I want to recommend @aidarojaswriter, an awesome DTuber from Venezuela, incredibly musical talent, and also makes a lot of awesome investigation works about musicians.
Second that :)
I want to recommend @wilins because he's a musician with so much talent, he brings a lot of covers and original songs to the platform with great quality.
Fantastic recommendation, thank you
Thank you so much for check out their blogs! I love their work a lot and I want the best of the support for them.
I want to recommend @mayneth, another incredibly talented musician, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and more, he also do a lot of collabs with a lot of good musicians.
Absolutely. Can tell that music is in his heart :)
And, of course, I would like to apply and recommend myself for this :D I make a lot of content about videogames, literature and music.
Some amazing content on your blog @ilazramusic
Thank you so much for checking my blog :D I do my best effort to bring quality content.
I don't know if I can ask to be on the whitelist myself? But if so, I (@moderndayhippie) would love to be whitelisted. I have been on steemit a long time and would love to participate in @ocdb. Thanks.
Hey! You are on the whitelist already :)
What? I didn't know that and the list wouldn't load for me so I didn't know. Thanks for telling me :)
Posted using Partiko Android
I recommend @ilazramusic, he's an awesome writer and musician a very engaged author in the spanish community. His posts with an awesome structure and aesthetic and also, an amazing heart is the potential author you need to vote!
I suggest @zaxan because his blog is amazing, with poetry and amazing stories (also, an amazing visual aesthetic made by him).
Thank you for this suggestion, lovely content and imagery combined with the poetry indeed.
I would like to suggest @gabyoraa because his photographies with a lot of documentalism and feelings are amazing. She's is an amazing photographer
Wow, really stunning works of photography. Fantastic recommendation and also curators of this platform should always be supported :)
I recommend @eugelys because she's one of the most amazing singer i've ever heard on Steemit. Also, she writes amazing songs and amazing poetry. A very engaged user and a lovely dtuber with a lot of potential.
already whitelisted!
@exzorltg he's amazing musician, singer, photographer, guitarrist, he can do EVERYTHING! a very engaged user, passionate about music and art, exceptional content and exceptional videos.
I would like to recommend @milkabustamante she's a great travel blogger who does charity from time to time
already whitelisted - you can check on https://thegoodwhales.io/index.html
@ylich is great music content creator from articles to original songs but his forte is on history of music
already whitelisted :)
@arar5 is a great writer and content creator who focuses on science articles
Thank you for this recommendation. Definitely needs a spot on the whitelist.
@aumonde is an amazing artist and writer, she is very active and posts almost everyday
And finally I would like to recommend myself, most of my content is focused on science and history posts but lately I've try my luck into writin videogames
you are already whitelisted :)
Also, I'd like to show some support to the previous recommendations. As a curator, I'm familiarized with most of the mentioned blogs, and they are really awesome!
I would love to recommend myself @deniskj because I do plenty of posts related to sports which is pretty much an ignored tag so getting discovered is difficult. I am only 40sp away from reaching my target 100sp so that I can delegate half to OCD without affecting my normal Steem activity.
I would recomend @markkujantunen. He is active, give support, has interesting post and work for the community on steemit.
Posted using Partiko Android
We need more active engagement on this platform. Thank you for recommending.
I wouldn't mind being on it. I normally make about a dollar per post I think.
Thank you for applying. I think you deserve to be on the whitelist for sure :)
interesting writing - nomination supported !
I highly reccomend myself😬✍🤣
👍😎 ah ah😃 I enjoy making people laugh I think at this moment we need to relax and bring good vibes to this community to continue growing.

I would like to recommend my friend @rosatravels who brought me to Steemit and taught me a lot of things. I am not a good blogger like her but she adds a lot of values to Steemit.
I would like to recommend myself as I have been posting consistently since the time I joined steemit. I generally posts sports accompanied with technological and random stuff sometimes but I haven't enjoyed much support. I believe my content is good enough and deserves some attention, therefore I am recommending myself for the whitelist.
interesting sports content - nomination supported !
Thanks
I would like to nominate myself if that is possible? It feels weird to do so, as I have been promoting other people more often, but this time I'd like to be a touch selfish...
My main account (@bengy) from which I post most of my blogs. I write daily posts, but I make a long post about classical music or game reviews roughly once a week or so as time and children permit... I've managed to be on the @curie vote a few times, so I hope it is of decent quality.
I second this nomination
Wow, thanks for the support!
Nice, I approve of your recommendation @bengy :)
Thank you for the support and the confidence!
I second this nomination as well!
Thank you for the vote of support!
