Project Update

We would like to announce the removal of the curation reputation cap and will expand to support all authors with undiscovered and exceptional content. While previously reserved only for newcomers under reputation ~52, Curie is now opening up to discovering exceptional content regardless of account status. With that in mind, we have revised Curie's description metadata to reflect this update.

Curators

The Top Curators list will dynamically change every other week depending on performance. Anybody will be able to rise up the ranks with consistent, quality curation. Inconsistent, low-quality curation will result in dropping out of Top curators list(or regular curation, if under-performance continues). Exceptional long-term top curators transition to direct curation.

This week, we have upvoted 96 posts submitted by curators in http://curiesteem.com, with 960 STEEM to be paid out to curators.
