It has been a while since we have posted an update on our Topcomment curation project. And quite a lot has happened since then.
On Hive, we've seen the price of the Hive token take a nose dive. It's hovering around 7 cents at the moment. For those who are here for the community and engagement, the price is not a problem. The Hivers that will remain are here for the community.
And with Topcomment we want to keep showing that we appreciate this engagement. Although the financial appreciation goes down with the token price, getting an upvote and a reply from topcomment is an appreciation by itself already.
Because of my own inactivity of the past two months (I needed to take a short break from Hive) and the personal situations of some of the other curators, the activity of the account was a bit low. I'm sorry for that.
We recently onboarded two new and enthusiastic curators to our team; 
These extra hands help us to curate all those high quality and engaging comments that are so important for Hive.
So keep on engaging and your comments might get rewarded by one of our curators!
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!):

To provide transparency I'm generating a list of all comments that were upvoted by @topcomment in the past week.
In the past 7 days Topcomment distributed 73 upvotes to the following commenters:

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 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:
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’s ideas. It shouldn't be a reply telling your own story.
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.
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://tools.crypto-dreamr.com/delegate/topcomment/100
(you can adjust the amount, signing with Hive Keychain)
| 10 HP | 25 HP | 50 HP | 100 HP | 250 HP | 500 HP | 1000 HP | 1500 HP | 2000 HP |
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!
When you are in the top 20 most upvoted Hivers, you get a mention, If you don't want to be mentioned when you are in that list, just leave me a comment.
If you want to get a mention even though you are not in the list, you can also leave me a comment and I'll add you to the following mention list:
