Welcome to the 170th 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!
The @qurator project was created to help give Steemians some extra exposure and awesome upvotes currently worth around $0.09 - $1.27!
Note: some of you have been curated twice since the start of the daily qurator and some have been curated only once. As the Daily Qurator is gaining fame with every passing day, many new steemians are asking/will ask to join us. So, expect to see posts from new users for now. When the opportunity arises, posts from older users will be curated once again

My First Gardening Experience At Far East Flora: Queensway, Singapore
If you haven't know that in Asia countries, we are celebrating the Chinese New Year where you can pretty much see it anywhere that red lanterns were hanging on every house, nicely decorated with flowers and all sorts of decorations, ranging from auspicious feng shui status, caligraphy arts and etc... It's the time of the year where my excitement for new year spiked and the mood certainly brightens up by the surroundings. So, for this year I decided to brighten up my apartment with a few plant decorations
From tangerine trees to kumquats and so many beautiful floral displays, take a photo journey with @explorernations as she goes on a shopping excursion to the Var East Flora; which is the largest wholesale floral empire in Singapore.

My Steemit Journey As @simgirl Approaching 1000 Followers
When I first entered the world of Steemit, I did not know what to expect. I only knew there was a new social network that would pay you to post. I have always enjoyed betas, so I knew that I might be dealing with some technical irregularities or the platform could possibly fail, and no longer exist
Come along as @simgirl inches closer and closer to 1000 followers! Head over and follow her to help her reach her goal! See how she has progressed and how she utilizes Discord in her daily steemit life.

Is This A Steem Citizen's Business Conduct?
While waiting for full Voting Power let's imagine for a moment. If the blockchain is a federal republic, then one of the states is Bitcoin and Steem. Unlike Bitcoin , in the state of Steem its economy is based on the content business, and therefore the majority of its citizens are content creators who sell products in Pasaraya Steemit
Come on over and reada @rismanrachman's post to see what he believes the difference between a practical steemian and a visionary steemian is. He is also sharing some great steemit tools you can use every day to keep track of your account.

Starting Kokeshi's Collection
What are kokeshi dolls? They are beautiful wooden dolls from Japan, painted byhand and whose name means “small poppy fruit”... In some cultures they are given as a symbol of friendship and love...
@merryslamb is starting a new collection; and it's not your typical one. Head on over to see what her kokeshi collection includes right now. Maybe you can share what you like to collect.

Home Grilling- Use Coke To Marinate Your Meat!
We always love to grill at home.. so if weather permits, we grill in the garden and of course charcoal is the best way to grill those marinated meat. And if it´s winter, we simply grill in the oven...
And @mers' secret marinating ingredient is not something you'll find in the spice aisle of the grocery store. Look in the soda and beverage area. Yes! She uses Coco Cola to give her grilled meats a WONDERFUL flavor as well as making the meat juicier! Take a look at her grilled foods and let her know what “secret” ingredient you've used before.
NEWS
The new and improved Qurator bot is here!
Why the new bot?
The current bot had a 24 hour timer built in, thus you can only get upvotes 24 hours apart. Missing that window and you might not get your upvote. This resulted in posts not getting upvotes. The old EDIT and UPDATE trick always worked its magic but was a bit of a hassle.
Out with the old, in with the new!
The new bot will search for posts to upvote 24 hour after your previous upvote. If you posted 2 post in a 24 hour period it will go back and upvote your posts. (More details to follow)
The new bot will be active withing the next 24 hours. We are busy getting everything ready and transferring databases. During this time both @qurator and @qurator-tier-0 will be offline. Please understand and be patient while we handle the necessary upgrades.
The bot is completely new and even though we did test it, there might still be some errors that we have to work out during the next few days.
UPDATE: We are seeing some minor issues with the bot and will be testing it more on the @qurator-tier-0 account. Once it is stable on that account and all the bugs have been sorted out we will let it go live on the main @qurator account.
UPDATE 2: Worked out most of the kinks and will be running it for a while on @qurator-tier-0. If the test goes well then we will start using it on @qurator. =)
UPDATE 3: Looks like we worked out most of the bugs and will be doing a long run to see if the bot is stable. If it is then after this weekend we should be using the new bot on the main @qurator account.
UPDATE 4: Rough weekend for Steemit nodes. Steemit was down a bit and nodes were bombing out. Took a toll on the old bot. The new bot was also affected but not as drastically as the old one. Think that's a good thing. Still working out some kinks and polishing here and there.
UPDATE 5: Think we got most of the bugs sorted out, bot has been stable for 24 + hours. This means it will be heading to the main Qurator account pretty soon!
Steemit Challenges on Discord
We all know that there are some awesome Steemians that created great challenges with cool prizes here on steemit. @stresskiller took it upon himself to make a really neat Steemit challenges calendar that he synced and integrated into Qurator's Discord Channel. If you are a member of Qurator feel free to check out the Discord Channel and visit the steemit-challenges tab. There you will find an updated list of all the daily/weekly challenges. massive shout-out and thanks to @stresskiller!
Introducing: Toss up Thursday!
We have Tasty Tuesday for Foodies and Photo Friday for Photographers. What about the rest of our awesome content creators? We thought of an idea to get some upvotes and possible post promotion. Check out the Toss up Thursday post!
With all the flag wars and drama on Steemit, we decided to go the opposite route. Make love, not war! We don't take part in flag wars, instead we have upvote wars! We highly suggest checking out our latest competition and think of your ideal strategy to win that awesome Tier 5 prize. =)
New Tasty Tuesday is out! Go cast your upvotes!
We will be doing a weekly Tasty Tuesday that will focus on food related blogs. Photography and Food is something that gets overlooked by Steemit quite a lot so we want to help out a bit by getting more people involved in both categories.
To view our latest Tasty Tuesday please visit this link to cast your vote for your favorite dish!
Did you vote for your favorite Photo Friday yet? The newest edition just launched!
Qurator will be hosting a Photo Friday each week where 5 members will be selected to win a Tier 5 membership!
Head over to Photo Friday to cast your vote and show some support! Who knows, maybe next week it's your turn to receive some votes and stand a chance to win! =)
The bot is Qurator exclusive and will upvote all Qurites with an upvote of 2.65 times the worth of what you send it, up to $1.20+!
Delegators will see payouts of 90% of all SBD earned by the bot.
New Tiers Update
Steemauto Curation Trail
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 surprize for a lucky trailer. =P
