Welcome to the first Qurator Treasure Hunt!
The game is simple. We will give you a list of stuff you have to find and take a pic of in order to win some Q tokens.
The "treasures" to find will be given in our DISCORD. The members have to make a post with all 7 treasure objects. You need to post photos and you have to hold a piece of paper with your steemit name (or take a selfie with the object) and "Qurator's Treasure Hunt Week 1" written on it for us to be sure you took the photo. It can be an object, an animal, a reaction or emotion. The best 5 posts will get 5 Q tokens each. You have to add the tags "qurator" and "Qtreasurehunt" to the post. You will have until Monday to make the post and the winner will be announced on Tuesday in DISCORD. There will be a special bonus of 5 Qtokens for the most creative post. So make sure to be creative and have fun with those photos!
The "treasures" you will hunt this week are:
Q - qwerty
U - uniform
R - relax
A - ancient
T - traffic
O - overjoy
R - rhythm
Welcome to the 654th 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!

Summer Time Pasta Salad
Perfect summer fixin's
For me, this summer staple is easy and perfect for quick meals!
So simple! So easy! But have patience when waiting to eat this summer side dish favorite. Why, you ask? Let's let @bluefinstudios explain here.
After it's all mixed, then, patience, but, OFF it goes to the fridge. This pasta Salad is best served cool! AND, it's an easy snack when it's too hot to cook!

Are You Afraid Of Coming Out Of Comfort Zone?
We all have been in our comfort zone from time to time and it's not the bad thing. You should be in your comfort zone until you feel the comfort zone is not comfortable anymore. But the real question is are you afraid of coming out of your comfort zone
Some times you just have to push yourself beyond your normal limits; your comfort zone. But are you hesitant? Read what @codingdefined has to say about getting ready to rock the norm in this post.

The Bread Returns- The Great Sourdough
I was afraid that I had killed my sourdough, but luckily it stayed alive. What a wonderful time to be alive I'd say.
The base of the bread is almost the same I'm typically doing. However this time before baking, I had fed the sourdough started for tree times over the period of 2 days before starting to bake. This should affect the dough taste and make it rise better, as the baking yeast would be able to conquer some living space from the sourness causing yeasts
Who's ready to head off to the kitchen for some fresh baked bread? If it's you, then stop over at @apsu's post for how they made this delicious looking sourdough bread.

zvisit To The Los Angeles Natural History Museum- Part 3
The LA Natural History Museum also has a butterfly garden, which has a whole bunch of native California species as well as a few non-natives. I managed to snap a few nice photos, but mostly I just convinced myself to buy a new 90mm macro lens, because I just couldn't get the sharpness I wanted with this 18-55mm. So, once I get that new lens, expect a bunch of new photos because I'll probably go nuts
Let's get up close and personal with this butterfly and many more! @derosnec shares some fabulous images of butterflies from a recent visit to the LA Natural History Museum.

So Many Splinters, So Little Time!
According to @steemmonsters, the recently concluded battle season has seen all-time activity highs for the game. From a record-high 35,389 ranked matches played in a day, to the highest number of active users transacting, and even the increasing DEC market cap and transactions volume. The Splinterlands is really keeping its players busy and engaged 24/7
What's this? A giveaway? YES! Head on over to @cryptocopy's post to see how you can get in on this!
Because the Splinterlands tribe is such a giving and generous community, it only makes sense that I add a little giveaway to this poll
Qurator News:
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 JULY then you will get an upvote from @qurator similar to a 3000 SP account.
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.
