Noobie Curation Fund #2

Hi everybody!

After overwhelmingly positive feedback I have decided to do a quick follow-up on the very first edition of

I would like to thank @reggaemuffin, @flamegirl and many others for actively and selflessly supporting this project! Now let me explain some more about it first. The goal is to reward an unexpected bonus to active curators on Steemit. There are many hardworking Curators, often with low Steem Power and struggling to enjoy, while they are actually vital to this platform. The competition with auto-voters is becoming increasingly fierce, as bots take a bigger and bigger part of the value that is meant to go to Steemians that scour the new posts for hidden gems.

The Noobie Curation Fund is here to give a much needed incentive to those that spend their valuable time to manually curate the stream of new posts.

So now, to business! This post will be boosted according to the following Boost Schedule:

10 min - 2 SBD
20 min - 2 SBD
30 min - 2 SBD
40 min - 2 SBD
6 days - 8 SBD*
Cast your vote as early as possible to maximize your weighted returns

*A late boost is added to:
1 - Widen the window of opportunity for participants
2 - Maximize final return, as it declines over time

To all Curators:

You've found a Curator Gem! Thank you for your time and effort. You are welcome to follow and upvote these posts before they are boosted, to claim your Curation Rewards bonus.

To all wealthy Stemians

If you see value in Curation of new posts and want to encourage this, please consider upvoting this post after 1 day, to increase the weighted share of those that are improving this platform by grinding new posts.

Note
While Noobies are particularly welcome to be among the first to upvote, the main focus of this initiative is to reward active Curators. The next edition will therefore be named:

"The Curator Gem"
