Welcome to the 146th 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 $0.17 - $1.56!
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

Rubbers- Their Properties And Usage Areas Of Some Varities
previously I shared an article about the rubber that article was mostly about rubber tree and technical chemical properties. Today I researched some more properties and uses of various rubber types
Did you know there's eleven different types of rubber? Do you know what their chemical properties are and what they're used to make? Take a look at @kedi's post and see how many varieties you may use on a daily basis and never knew about.

Walk With Me Number 3- Strasbourg France Part 2: Little Things That Give Spirit To City
Last time I invited you to take a walk with me through the streets of the old town of Strasbourg. However, my walk didn't end there. While taking a lovely stroll through the streets and enjoying the first warmth of the sun this year I was pondering - what makes this city alive?
Take a walk with @gretum today and see some picturesque strolls through Strasbourg's flea markets, quaint gift shops and various other architectural sights. Want some baked chestnuts as you mosey through the streets? The Marron Chauds has that covered!

Why Your Kid Should Grow Up With A Dog
This is Trevor, our bullmastiff. He's five years old now. We've got other dogs too but I'm focusing on Trevor because he and my youngest son, Dom, have a very special bond... Maybe I'm biased but here are some of the reasons I think you should consider getting a pet dog for your kid
Every child wants a dog, right? There's just something about the connection between a boy (or girl) and their dog. @anjkara believes children should have a dog; read the post to see what the advantages are for a child to have a puppy or dog as a companion and best friend.

30 Days On Steemit
I joined Steemit and made my first post just 30 days ago! Wow!
A couple of Steemians have mentioned they thought I wasn't a minnow because I have a 51 rep, but nope, folks, I am still under 150 STEEMPOWER! Just a happy little minnow bloggin' away about life, homesteading, herbs, healthy food, kids and natural dyeing with plants and herbs...
While she has only been on steemit for a month, @schoonercreek has made some great friendships, connections and is learning how to share her life with others on the platform. Come on over and see what she's growing and making today.
NEWS
Registration Fee Increase to 4 STEEM
When Qurator started 146 days ago the registration fee was 1SBD/STEEM after 100 members we had to increase the fee to 2SBD/STEEM to make room for new members and get more Delegations in order to keep the upvotes fair to investors/supporters.
We kept the fee to 2SBD/STEEM for the next 900 members but now that we have grown as much as we did and the fact that SBD/STEEM prices are so volatile. We will be changing the Registration fee to 4 STEEM (NOT SBD). We will no longer accept SBD for registration, simply because we need the STEEM to lease and renew Delegations from the @minnowboosters market. We do this with a heavy heart but it is necessary to keep up with our current leases and to get some new ones in order to keep supporting new members. If we do not increase the fee, we will not be able to accept new members. That is not something we want to do, but sadly we are not getting much whale support on when it comes to upvoting the Qurator Posts.
Effective immediately as soon as we reach 1000 members the fee will be increased to 4 STEEM. Currently at 927 members there are 73 slots left at the old rate. After they have been approved and registered it will be 4 STEEM.
Steemit Challenges on Discord
We all know that there are some awesome Steemians that created great challenges with cool prizes here on steemit. @stresskiller took it upon himself to make a really neat Steemit challenges calendar that he synced and integrated into Qurator's Discord Channel. If you are a member of Qurator feel free to check out the Discord Channel and visit the steemit-challenges tab. There you will find an updated list of all the daily/weekly challenges. massive shout-out and thanks to @stresskiller!
Qurator 2.0 Update Post
We made a new Informational Qurator post that contains some rules and guidelines. The banners with their links can also be found in the post. Here is the link, we suggest every Qurite read it to be up to date with Qurator. =)
Qurator 2.0 Update
New Tasty Tuesday is out! Go cast your upvotes!
We will be doing a weekly Tasty Tuesday that will focus on food related blogs. Photography and Food is something that gets overlooked by Steemit quite a lot so we want to help out a bit by getting more people involved in both categories.
To view our latest Tasty Tuesday please visit this link to cast your vote for your favorite dish!
Did you vote for your favorite Photo Friday yet? The newest edition just launched!
Qurator will be hosting a Photo Friday each week where 5 members will be selected to win a Tier 5 membership!
Head over to Photo Friday to cast your vote and show some support! Who knows, maybe next week it's your turn to receive some votes and stand a chance to win! =)
The bot is Qurator exclusive and will upvote all Qurites with an upvote of 2.65 times the worth of what you send it, up to $2.00+!
Delegators will see payouts of 90% of all SBD earned by the bot.
New Tiers Update
Steemauto Curation Trail
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

Although 4 steams I do not think that's a big problem, because for beginners steemit desperately needs this, I have long joined the discord @Qurator but I have not registered officially, maybe I do not understand about the system from @Qurator, I'll Learn it and maybe will participate .. Thanks @Qurator
Sure, read all about it here. =) https://steemit.com/qurator/@qurator/qurator-2-0-update-post-guidelines-or-registration-details-or-tier-changes
Take the time to read all of it, I know it's quite a lot but in the long run if you are someone who posts regularly Qurator will always be a good bet.
Can you restrain the fees up to 3 steem until 1500 members?
Sadly, we can't. We will need to get more funds in so that we can keep up with our leases. Unless we get some more upvote support from larger Steemians then maybe we can stay around 3, but that is not likely to happen. Thus, we will have to increase the fee or stop accepting new members for a few weeks.
Thanks you share and your post my friend @qurator
This post is helpful, thankx a million times
You keep qurating them and I'll keep reading them. Just another terrific issue, I really enjoyed the articles.
Thank you!
Thanks many times..for all you do!!
it reminds me how fortunate i am to be part of the qurators. i should have join it ages ago...
Hello my friend if i send 4 sbd i can to join in team for one month???
I suggest you give this a read first: https://steemit.com/qurator/@qurator/qurator-2-0-update-post-guidelines-or-registration-details-or-tier-changes
Registration is not 4 STEEM yet, our membership is also lifetime, not monthly.
Ver good idea and very creativity!!
you are the best brother @qurator
Please how do i register ???
We suggest you read this post 1st then if you understand it all, send 2 SBD/STEEM to @qurator with your steemit name as memo. =)
I've registered ,,, thanks for the information @qurator !
Saw your registration fee. Will continue with the review and get back to you ASAP
Hello from scotland :).......... but You missed me again :-( https://steemit.com/colorchallenge/@stef1/findhorn-bay-scotland-and-polarkreis-18-allein-allein can you check that for me ?
Checked and upvoted, steemit nodes acting up every now and then and it puts our bot to sleep for a few minutes at a time. We are currently working on a new bot.
If you see a post missed an upvote from us, feel free to EDIT and UPDATE it. Should ping the bot and the upvote will go through. =)
This is good to know. I'll try it out.
Is the official bot rule after 24 hours? Because I post daily around the same time but I've been getting upvotes only on every other post or so. So if it is a hard 24 hours then I'll need to change when I post each day.
Hey Qurator
Thank you so much for featuring my 'Why your kid should grow up with a dog' blog. I'm really chuffed. Yay :D
Cheers
Anj x
You are most welcome @anjkara! Glad to see a new featured members! Hope it will be one of many! Loved that dog pic! Wanted to use it for our cover but the dimensions were not right. Maybe next time ;)
Aw my Trev would be a great cover shot. He'd be so proud to be a model :D
What sort of dimensions do you use? For future reference.
cheers
Anj :)
Oh wow, I was so surprised to see my picture on the cover! Thank you very much for featuring my stroll through the beautiful streets of Strasbourg! <3
