Do you know the difference between diamonds and other precious stones?
@azman teaches about diamonds and precious stones in the #steemstem post. I have to say, I was impressed enough to do extra cross-checking to ensure that the post was not plagiarized! It's a very detailed, informative post about diamonds. Give your knowledge base some shine!
The contest of Petals. Reminder. The rules for participating in our contest!

Advice from one minnow to another!
@lucygarrod provides some great pointers for minnows getting started on Steem. It really is true that minnows can get a lot more out of supporting each other than from chasing after whales and sharks. Check out all the great tips this post has to offer!

Submission Requirements
On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:
- You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
- All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
- You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted.
- Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
- We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
- Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
- Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
- Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.
If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.
Submission Reward
A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBD for each accepted submission!
Right now @sneakyninja's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces!

Some really good selections, I shall point a few of my friends to individual articles linked here as it hits their passions on the head!
I do have a question for submissions: Do you accept dTube uploads as well - or does it have to be in readable format?
Thanks for all your continued efforts for the community.
I prefer when the dTube has at least a few paragraphs or introduction or summarizing the video. I'm more lenient on that if the guest curator provides an excellent introduction to the video instead (but it's okay to leave a little mystery... we do want our readers to visit the actual posts, after all!)
thanks! will submit tomorrow
lol, it doesn't hit their passions on the head, but it fits to their passions like a nail on the head. ah you know what I mean <3
Hit your passions on the head, bundle them up in a burlap sack, and take them home with you!
ERm... hopefully your passions aren't people or puppies. eek.
Great initiative. I want to resteem your post so that it may reach to many people here, if you like.
Thanks for your support. You are always welcome to resteem our posts!
