Thanks for sharing your experience ger, we actually joined steemit at the same time, funny uhn?.
Concerning @qurator and signing up to them for a fee of 4 steem, what do I stand to gain from this payment. You haven't outlined that thoroughly in your post.
A daily upvote to what value? Is it one per day or what.
It's kind of complicated, and I am sure that is why the post does not go into all the details. I am also in @qurator, and I am sure you would qualify with your good content. I just wrote a post for them as well. Maybe it will answer some of your questions.
