Revision as of 23:08, 26 July 2017

Curie is a community project announced in August 2016 with a mission to discover and reward new content creators on Steemit and give them the exposure that they need.[1] Everyday over a hundred curators from around the world select hidden gems from new authors. Curie aims to provide rewards to these deserving authors whether they are writers, artists, chefs, photographers, videographers, and more.

Curators are cordially invited to join the Curie community of over a hundred curators by submitting hidden gems at http://curiesteem.com. There's a finder's fee available for every approved post. Currently, due to our limited operational capacity, there are submission limits for new curators. Curators with consistent, quality curation will have their submission limits expanded.

In July 26th, 2017, Curie suspended public submissions for new curators due to high volumes of subpar quality submissions and spam.[2]

Submission guidelines

Bellow the Curie's guidelines published in February 2nd, 2017:[3]

  1. New and verified authors only, who have been persistent without much success. Brand new authors who have one or two posts without verification do not qualify. General guideline for "new author" would be 62 Reputation and under. The lower the Rep, the more likely they are to be voted. (Steem Guild will look out for posts by more established authors)
  2. Posts must be more than 150 minutes old (I.e. 3 hours ago on Steemit), but less than 20 hours, with less than $1 pending payout.
  3. Authors must not have earned more than $10 from a single post in the last 2 days. I.e. don't submit a post if the author has earned more than $10 on a post marked "yesterday" or "X hours ago" - has to be "2 days ago" or more.
  4. Only original content. Articles, art, poetry, videos, recipes, etc. that appear first on Steemit. Please make sure sources are linked properly and check for plagiarism before posting here.
  5. No Steemit-related, photography, religious, introduceyourself or political posts.
  6. Maximum 5 submissions per day.
  7. English posts only. Steem Guild will look out for other languages.

The beggining

The idea of bringing rewards and recognition to Steemit’s undiscovered and emerging authors, in August 2016, the next month after the platform made it first payouts in July 4th, was annouced by a group of senior writers that forged a partnership with @nextgencrypto to help direct whale votes for a good cause.

The “Project Curie” Team started with: Tom (@donkeypong), The Alien (@the-alien), @liberosist, Etherpunk (@kevinwong), Anwen Baumeister (@anwenbaumeister), @infovore @gavvet @steemship, plus contributors including Cryptogee (@cryptogee), Andrew Levine (@andrarchy), @piedpiper, @nanzo-scoop, rok Sivante (@rok-sivante) and others. Several team members volunteer their time for free, others make a small income from curating posts, and many of us contribute SBD from our own payouts to this project.

With the Voting Power and Support by @nextgencrypto, other whale accounts who prefer to remain unnamed, and the group’s own orca-level accounts at that time.[1]

How it works

According to the post published by Etherpunk (@kevinwong) in February 2017, one of the founding operators, the project are divided into two major groups. First is the internal curation group consisting post finders, post vouchers, and ultimately, the proxy voters. Second is the external curation group. It's open to the rest of the community to suggest posts as long as these post meet the guidelines that we have developed organically over the course of our collective experience operating Curie.

All Curie members are quite simply operators. We do not have any defined roles, and we can take-up and pass on roles anytime as long as time and skills permit. Other than the more technical stuff like maintaining a witness and developing the software to assist Curie works, anybody in Curie can be part of any operational process stated below.

At the time of writing, Curie had nine (9) core operators, and more than five-hundred (500) participants in #curie on Steemit Chat.[4]
