The Daily Qurator #245
Welcome to the 245th Daily Edition of the Daily Qurator. Below you will find some awesome members of @qurator that worked hard to post some good quality content for all you awesome Steemians to enjoy!
The @qurator project was created to help give Steemians some extra exposure and awesome upvotes currently worth around $0.03 - $8.19!
Note: some of you have been curated twice since the start of the daily qurator and some have been curated only once. As the Daily Qurator is gaining fame with every passing day, many new steemians are asking/will ask to join us. So, expect to see posts from new users for now. When the opportunity arises, posts from older users will be curated once again

Dustsweeper- A Dust-Cleaning Service For Your Steemit Comments
Sometimes we receive upvotes on our comments but aren't paid anything for them because the value is too low. There's a minimum value the rewards need to reach in order for them to pay out... We've been calling this limit the "dust threshold." Many people are still unaware of this threshold, or are aware but still insist on voting to show their support or appreciation. Thinking on a way to make sure that these little votes aren't wasted and that the rewards on these comments reach the minimum to pay out
A few questions for you... do you use bots on the platform? Do you know about the dust threshold? Do you want better comment payouts? THEN you have to read @aiyumi's post today!

A Car Drove Into My House. No One Was Hurt
My life just got tossed into the Murphy's sh!t can... A real car just drove half way into my basement. No joke. No bs. Dude lost control and tried to park his car in my basement... Damage is a big hole through the cinderblock basement/foundation wall... Lots of belongings and stored things were ruffled and or destroyed by the flying cinderblocks... It just happened, and I am in shock. So I don't even know what all has been damaged
Seriously?! A car in your basement?
No way!
Yes way!
Check out the initial damage to @em3's house in this post... UNBELIEVABLE!

How To Make Beautiful Homemade Extracts- It's Easy!
They are also another wonderful way to preserve the flavours of each season and stock your home grown pantry shelves.
There are a myriad of flavour possibilities when it comes to extracts. With so many options, your creativity can begin in the spring with lilacs and run all the way to late autumn with the arrival of rose hips. With very little effort (or cost) you'll soon have an impressive collection of gourmet extracts at your disposal.
Who would have thought the simplicity of making your own extracts at home could be so easy! @walkerland shares how to do this in this post. So whether you're wanting to make these for yourself or to give as a gift; stop over and see how you too can make extracts in your own kitchen.

Travelogue- Hawaii 6 Souvenirs From Hawaii
Speaking about souvenirs from Hawaii, nuts are a must-buy for most tourists. It is quite like 'been there, done there and got the tee shirt'... Although two aeroplanes are far from collector grade, these can always remind me of the island.
When you have traveled what kind of souvenirs do you like to buy? See what @prch purchased on his recent trip to Hawaii.
NEWS
We will be sending out some comments with the Tier 0 upvote. We don't think many of the members are aware that it is really easy to move up to a higher tier by showing Qurator some support. Let's hope some of the older members can move up in tiers and we can make the whole community a bit stronger. =)
This is by far on of the easiest ways to earn a little extra on your posts. READ the post mentioned in the comment. We are not trying to spam our T0 members, we are trying to help and reward you more. If you need help then you can always come visit us on Discord. =)
Tier Updates Finalized
Tier updates are out and finalized. You can check out the post HERE.
The short version is that Tier 1 and Tier 2 requirements have changed a bit. Please review them.
A separate account has been created and 30 000 SP has been delegated to it. @qurator-tier-1-2 will be upvoting Tier 1 and Tier 2 members.
A large amount of SP was undelegated from @qurator to accommodate for the new account, BUT the upvote weights have been adjust so they should balance out. Just have to see how the Voting Power holds up with the big change.

Steemauto Curation Trail
We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using SCALED instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.
Steemauto can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprize for a lucky trailer. =P
