Welcome to the new StemQ Digest, which we are delighted to provide to you on this festive season!
What to report since our last digest?
Another bug has been fixed with regards to the contributions shown in the home page carousel.
The carousel should now show in priority the posts with larger total payouts during the last 10 days.
We are still not happy with the "Best Rated Questions" and "Best Rated Answers" as it is turning out to be a bit difficult to get the algorithm right on the backend. This will be addressed at some stage in the future.
It is now possible for the same author to submit multiple answers to the same question!
This will come as a handy feature for users who wish to cover a particular topic as a series of multiple answer posts under the umbrella of a single question.
We hope that you will enjoy this new cracking feature! :-)
We are pleased to announce that the first transfers to delegators have been completed.
It has been decided to fix the return of investment (ROI) to delegators in line with 
We tried to use @lemouth's script for automating the transfers but ran into a problem with some related features not working properly in the Steem nodes for the StemQ account.
Until the problem is resolved, all transfers have to be processed manually.
Here is the first of payments:
List of delegators
** tobixen will get 18.035 Steem
** irelandscape will get 10.57 Steem
** maticpecovnik will get 3.526 Steem
** alexbiojs will get 3.523 Steem
** katerinaramm will get 1.763 Steem
** damzxyno will get 0.705 Steem
** dexterdev will get 0.429 Steem
** mobi72 will get 0.316 Steem
** fiberfrau will get 0.133 Steem
--> Redistributed rwards: 39.0 STEEM
As you can see most payments are still very small, but at least it's a start and hopefully this will incentivized others to delegate to StemQ.
Please find below convenient links which will allow you to delegate SPs.
10 SP | 20SP | 50SP | 100SP |500SP|1000SP
To delegate a different amount, simply change the value in the link following the vesting_shares= field.
For example, to delegate 30 SP, open the following URL in your browser:

Thank you!
