Hi all!
The Curation Leagues have grown dramatically this past week, thanks mainly to @davemccoy and the #newbieresteemday community. Sincere apologies if you don't see your account in the comment I add to the post, I promise to make sure you are added this week if you comment below.
This week I've restructured the prizes so more people win SBDs, and I will be delegating Steem Power to some of the top performers in 'League 2'!
To enter the leagues until you say otherwise, drop a comment below!
On your marks, get set, curate!
Introduction
My general views on maximizing curation rewards (to score highly in League 1) are:
Voting in the first minute will earn you a curation reward of almost 0.000
Voting between 1 and 29 minutes will earn an increasing % of the curation rewards split, this value peaking at 30 minutes and remaining the same from this point onwards
The goal is to get in prior to the big hitters, but not too early!
It is commonly suggested that 20-25 minutes is the 'best' time to vote (especially on known 'power author' posts because they are likely to have more auto-votes coming in at these times - and you want to be ahead of these votes)
A vote of equal weight and equal Steem Power at 30 minutes will give more reward than a vote at, for example 1 hour - first come first served, but don't arrive to early :)
Voting on good dtube content and utopian-io approved contributions (prior to the vote by @dtube / @utopian-io )can earn some very good curation rewards
As you can see, a combination of many variables such as Steem Power, voting strength, voting weight, time of vote, (and more) all play a part in the amount of rewards received.
My general opinion on maximizing engagement (to score highly in League 2) is:
- Spread your vote and write lots of engaging comments!
The data for league 1
The raw data has been collected from SteemSQL - @arcange's MS SQL Server copy of the Steem Blockchain.
SteemSQL is now a monthly subscription service and so your support in this post is greatly appreciated!
The key formula used for 'quality of financial curation skill' is:
Curation Rewards DIVIDED BY Steem Power MULTIPLIED BY 1000
This will return the amount of Curation rewards gained per 1000 Steem Power held
The rules (which will cause auto-filtering of your account if not met so just enter anyway and see what happens!) to appear in this league:
Must have voted at least once on a piece of content in the past 7 days
Must not have leased or delegated Steem Power in the last 14 days
Must not have Started a Power Down (withdrawal of Steem Power) in the last 15 days
The 2nd and 3rd points above are required to reduce distortion of the figures.
And, as curation rewards for the past week are actually taken from votes made up to 14 days ago, we need a 15 day window as mentioned above.
Don't let this put you off entering though - you will be automatically be excluded/appear depending on the criteria above.

The end column is what I think is a genuine indicator of how well you are financially working the curation game with the tools,including vested Steem Power, that you have at your disposal.
Chart and Analysis
Amount of SP earned per 1000 Steem Power owned
This weeks' results:
@miniature-tiger takes first spot again this week, well done master curator!
@steemitri in 2nd from 3rd last week, well done the curating mannequin!
@edje takes 3rd - a top 3 finish again this week!
@williamsyee and @instructor2121 benefitting from the new prize structure take 4th and 5th!
Well done to @fiveboringgames, @ammonite, and @greenrun who also performed very well this week.
- The average curation reward/Steem Power this week is 0.797 follow a huge increase in entries and removal of trail / bot accounts.
Community Curation Excellence - League 2
This new league is not based around rewards and relates to engagement.
Everyone currently on my master list has a chance here - delegation dealings or not.
I've used some metrics (which is the fancy way of saying that made up some numbers) relating to:
- Posts
- Comments (number and amount of text)
- Comments outside of your own blogs
- Up-votes to others
- Up-votes to unique others
- Self-votes (a minus score for this one sorry!)
- Witness engagement

Well done to @davemccoy who tops the league of engagement and excellence again this week! Dave is a recent delegate of mine and is really showing how it's done with regards to community engagement here on Steemit, cracking stuff!
Also, an excellent job by @goldendawne (one of the #stewardsofgondor) and @maverickinvictus who have finished 2nd and 3rd this week!
163 names appeared in the list for League two this week - wow!
Want to be a part of the leagues? Let me know below!
Calculations may vary from week to week but always with a goal to find top community engagers.
Prizes sent!
To mark the huge increase in numbers, I've decided to give away more SBD to more people!
Also as part of the new prize structure, SP delegations based on League 2 performance and current account size (with an aim to boost the smaller accounts).
Curation League 1
