Witness Update

Firstly, we want to thank everyone who has voted for Curie as a witness. With your support, we are able to contribute significantly more to the Steem community. In light of our new position, we made sure to put up a seed node which is hosted at the address: seed.curiesteem.com:2001. As we transition towards position 20 we will begin moving our seed node into a full node and upgrade the specs (currently hosted on a VPS in LA with 4 cores, 12gb ram and 200gb SSD storage). As always, if you have any specific/important questions or queries about the witness operation please do not hesitate to contact @locikll on steemit.chat.

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 119 posts submitted by curators in http://curiesteem.com, with 2,380 STEEM to be paid out to curators.
