News
Well, do we have news this week!
Last week I had was invited as a 'special guest' on the Hive Humpday Hangout! show, presented by 
We talked a bit about how I joined Hive and some of my 'projects' on this platform and most importantly; a lot about Topcomment!
Quite a few people attended the show, but if you didn't, you can check out the recap blog from
I want to thank all the participants for joining and interacting (
I also want to remind you about the challenge I proposed (this one is not restricted to the ones that have joined the show by the way).
Take 5 minutes every day to create (at least) one long, engaging comment on any blog on Hive
Let's see if our team will find and reward your comment!
A new curator!
And speaking about our Topcomment team; after the show we've managed to onboard another curator.
During the show
Since the topcomment project is growing, we could really use some more eyes and hands to curate all those top quality comments. So thanks
Delegations
The topcomment initiative is receiving delegations from 39 people already.
The total amount of delegations is 19,056 Hive at the moment, which gives us a $0,18 upvote at the moment.
This upvote is topped up with some upvotes from accounts that follow our curation trail:

What is Topcomment?
The Topcomment curation service rewards meaningful and engaging comments on the Hive platform. It is manually curated by @topcomment to prevent abuse.
Comments that show effort, substantively engage with the content are eligible for upvotes. The initiative relies on nominations, where users can mention @topcomment to suggest quality comments.
Read more about the service and how you can support this project below the report!

If you want to have a mention when you are on this list or want to be mentioned in every weekly update post from 
Which comments can get upvotes and which don't?
Which comments are eligible for upvotes and which are not?
Not all nominated comments will receive an upvote from Topcomment. While the concept of "quality" is subjective, there are a few key factors I consider when deciding whether to upvote a comment. Additionally, there are certain reasons why even a well-written comment might not be upvoted.
Here are the current guidelines:
Do's
1. Put effort in the comment
Be sure you have put some effort in creating a longer comment. There is no exact number, but a comment that is just a few words long won't get upvoted.
2. React to the content of the blog
The comment should be a thoughtful response to the blog post. It must engage with the content and provide meaningful interaction with the author鈥檚 ideas. It shouldn't be a reply telling your own story.
No upvotes for
1. Comments with hate speech, racism, conspiracy theories or other negative reactions
I strive to keep the community positive. Comments promoting hatred, racism, or conspiracy theories will not be upvoted.
2. Comments from users with Hivewatchers downvotes
I do not want to support scammers or fraudulent activity. If a user has been downvoted by Hivewatchers, I will not upvote their comment.
3. AI-generated comments
These comments will not receive upvotes, as they are not authentic human interactions.
4. Comments that already have significant rewards
If a comment has already received a substantial reward, I will skip the upvote. The same applies to comments that are part of the commentrewarder initiative.
5. Giveaways or contest entries
There are some initiatives asking you to submit your entry in the comments. These are excluded from Topcomment upvotes.
6. Commenting on own blogs
Comments from bloggers on their own blog will not be upvoted. It is only natural that you respond to comments on your own blog.
Support Topcomment with Delegations
The more delegations Topcomment gets, the higher the rewards we can give away!
You can use the following tool to delegate an amount of your choice or select one of the predefined amounts below.

| 10 HP | 25 HP | 50 HP | 100 HP | 250 HP | 500 HP | 1000 HP | 1500 HP | 2000 HP |
Follow the Curation Trail
If you don't want to delegate you can also choose to following the Topcomment voting trail via Hive.Vote.
This way you do support the project and the commenters, but you'll receive the curation rewards yourself. In Hive.Vote you can configure a percentage for the votes.
