The topcomment curation service is doing quite well I think. It has been almost 6 months since I've started this initiative. Now, a half year later we have a team of 4 great curators, 21,325 HP in delegations (Thanks you all for the support!!!) and some followers of our trail. The topcomment vote is really starting to get some weight, which is good to see.
We still have the goal of reaching a $1 vote by the end of the year (we're at $0.24 now), so we could use some extra delegations. Further on in this blog is some more information about that.
The account itself is also growing slowly. I'm constantly powering down so I can pay out our delegators daily with liquid Hive (delegating to 
In the first few months I had to transfer some of my own Hive every week to be able to make the payments, but since last week the topcomment account generates enough to do the payments 馃帀馃挭馃徎
This growth also has to do with the support on these weekly curation reports and our other posts, so if you're not able to give a delegation, upvoting and reblogging our post also is very welcome 鉂わ笍
Soon I'll be able to reward our curators (
Let's keep building, let's keep on engaging!
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 all about it in the following blog (also in Spanish!):

It's nice to see the Hivers in the top of the charts keep making quality comments and being rewarded for this. On the bottom of the chart we have a newcomer with

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!
And you profit from the delegation as well since we return 80% of the curation rewards to the delegator.
The rewards are sent in the form of liquid Hive on a daily basis. So, supporting Topcomment with a delegation can be really beneficial for you.
You can use the following tool to delegate an amount of your choice or select one of the predefined amounts below.
https://thecrazygm.com/hivetools/account/delegate/topcomment/100
| 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.

The post rewards will be used to support the project!
