Taking my @tipU curator role to the next level!

[contrabourdon]

Most of us know that #newsteem has basically put an end to bid bots and that they are turning to manual curation. From what I've seen so far, it's good to see the whales curating content that otherwise wouldn't have been—unless promoted. So if you're creating good and interesting content, then eventually you'll be rewarded with a curation. Don't give up!

curation game@tipu is one of the bid bots that has 'gamified' the . The mastermind @cardboard called out for curators not so long ago, each having the ability to curate using @tipu's VP at 1%. The better your voting efficiency, the more of @tipu's votes you can give out. Subsequently, as your efficiency drops, you will have less say over @tipu's curation. I'm not entirely sure, but you could also lose all your curation rights if you're a poor curator!

I was fortunate enough to be online at the right time to put my hand up for nomination. My efficiency was quite bad at the beginning, but now I'm at level 5 and getting the hang of it. @cardboard was also nice enough to add the available mana in @tipu's comment after voting (after my little suggestion). E.g.:

As I'm geeky, you might remember I wrote a post a while ago about Steem stats on my MacBook Pro. Guessing from the first picture in this post, I decided revamp my touchbar to suit the curation game and include voting power stats for my curation accounts and @tipu!

How did I get the mana stats, do you ask? I just had a poke around at https://tipu.online/curators and found that I could get all the curator stats with this api url: https://tipu.online/api/curators. With a little Shell script trickery, I could display it on my touchbar as follows (accepts the username as the first argument):

#! /bin/bash

output=$(curl -s "https://tipu.online/api/curators")
mana=$(echo $output | /usr/local/bin/jq ".[] | select(.curator==\"$1\") | .mana")
mana_used=$(echo $output | /usr/local/bin/jq ".[] | select(.curator==\"$1\") | .mana_used")
mana_left=`expr $mana - $mana_used`
echo "MANA [$mana_left/$mana]"

If you have a Macbook Pro and would like to try this out, get the BetterTouchTool and go nuts! Anyways, got to get back to curating for @tipu...there's some rewards to be made :)

Yours truly,
@contrabourdon

Well said, @contrabourdon! I think this is a very important thing to say for people who write good content and think they will never have their posts valued.

Thanks.

[contrabourdon]

We also have to do engage with other content creators. How can we expect engagement if we don’t do it either? It works both ways ✅

Yes1 You're 100% right, @contrabourdon.

I also got inspired by this subject and write this post: https://steemit.com/lifestyle/@wiseagent/steemit-connect-by-creating-bridges.

Hey @contrabourdon, that is a damn cool function and I will try to add this to my MacBookPro

[contrabourdon]

Yeh it's so geeky :) I made a few more changes since then (grouping). Let me know if you need a hand.

[detlev]

Wow, love to get this code and I'm just buying the tool from https://folivora.ai/

btw. are you going to SteemFest4 ? Might be cool to have a chat there and a cold !BEER somewhere

[contrabourdon]

The code is already in the post 😇 Unfortunately not going to SteemFest. Maybe the next one...if @leysa says yes 😂

So how do you think the newsteem experment is going? So far so good but we will see if the curation bots (ex bid bots) can hold their delegations or if people power down. Lots happening here so hopefully that just shifts the goal posts and people just move onto the new format.

[contrabourdon]

In a way, good. We see larger accounts being less passive and curating (manually?) instead. I feel the rewards distribution is much fairer but it’s still early days. !SHADE 1
