Steemit 2.0:Is VOICE Going To Be The Steemit Killer?
Finally, it seems STEEM has got some real competition now.
For about a year, speculations were rife that former Steemit CTO @dan, who is currently the CTO of Block One, may launch a new EOS blockchain based social media that could be much better than Steemit and hence was being touted as Steemit 2.0. The day has come today!
@xyzashu shares his beliefs and thoughts about steemt having another new competition in the social media and blogging platforms. Have you heard of “Voice” yet? Check out his post to see what you think.

Street Photography- About B&W Photography
A B&W is a different world in photography...Actually these kind of pictures hide the mistakes of the picture...On the other hand it is a magical world of photography. In experienced hands black and white pictures can be mesmerizing. Today I want to share some back light pictures. I hope you enjoy friends...
New to photography? Looking to get some basic B&W photography knowledge? Then head on over to this post by fellow Qurite @mnallica; who's sharing some great advice.

101 Reasons Why Earthships Are Fuc!*ing Awesome: Part 6- Reason 51
Earthship Biotecture has to be one of the least understood sustainable building and living models around. This is not least because they offer SO many benefits that it is hard to even know them all, let alone explain them all! Let it be said that an Earthship can stay at a comfortable climate at even -20 Celsius or 40 Celsius with no power requirements for heating or cooling systems. The systems of an earthship encounter the forces of nature, mainly the sun, rain, and wind, and funnels them into your home to provide everything you need to live comfortably with annual utility bills of around $200 or less
A hundred and one reasons? Never knew there was so much positive about living in an earthship! But @eco-alex is here to explain and give you ALL the reasons!
Don't know what an earthship is? Then you HAVE to read this post; and check out all the other reasons too on his page!

Great Western- Day 590: 5 Minute Freewrite: Sunday- Prompt: Glass
It was a sign, a gift from the gods, even, like the Coke bottle in the movie "The Gods Must Be Crazy." It was deposited by flood waters in the under story of tall trees down by the river, and I was on a daily dog walk, kicking around ideas for a novel I'd been wanting to write, but it would be a historical, set in the Old West, and that means research.
Have you ever just sat down... with one word to start with and been able to write a sentence? A paragraph? A chapter? More? Then you may be a great candidate to write a freewrite post just as @carolkean did here!

My Art Venture Acrylic Painting- “Captain Cook”
On weekend I have found the picture that was taken by my hubby when he was 25 y.o. and single, he says that was a paradise ( New Zealand ) and now ... I hope he means not a Hell
Anyway, he with his cousin were travelling throughout New Zealand in a van, there are many beautiful pictures, of course that time it was an analogue cameras and the pictures slightly paled out. It is a pity. Among the pictures I found this one that I wanted immediately to pain
What a great painting! @stef1 shares this acrylic painting from days gone by and it is quite a masterpiece in my opinion. Her husband should be proud of her and her talents!

Bigger better monthly subs!
We know not everyone can delegate or upvote for larger upvotes. Thus sending in steem allowed for a larger upvote for the month.
It used to be only two levels.
SUB1 = 0.8 Steem for an upvote from 750 SP
SUB2 = 1.6 Steem for an upvote from 1500 SP
We decided to add three more levels to this, with level 5 adding a little bonus in there!
SUB3 = 2.4 Steem for an upvote from 2250 SP
SUB4 = 3.2 Steem for an upvote from 3000 SP
SUB5 = 4 Steem for an upvote from 4000 SP (250SP Bonus!)
So how does that work?
Let's say you send 3.2 Steem with the memo sub MAY then you will get an upvote from @qurator similar to a 3000 SP account.
Qurator ICO is live!!
Introducing Referral Bonuses!
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.
Write a post about Qurator.
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.
Invite a friend.
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:
| 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 post.
Note: Both programs are open to everyone, not only Qurator members.

Steemauto Curation Trail
 | 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. Steemauto guide and registration info |
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
