Hey man, you can use steemauto to follow trails, although I'm sure they put you in line and have many other accounts trailing so dunno how great it is for curation rewards. (I have 17 trailers there last I checked and I haven't even recommended my trail to anyone) Dunno how it is with curation projects like OCD or curie, but I guess you can check if there are some familiar names there with not many followers you'd wanna trail.

Other than that, you could delegate to @ocdb and receive a daily return. It recently went manual, 10% fee and 5% goes into a pool we will be using for tipping steem to outside content creators to get them interested in Steem.

And as for smoke, dunno if there are any services for it just some bots people have created, if you can trust me and another person that I trust with my posting key then feel free to DM it to me. :)
