Yesterday I posted an article titled

“Why I think 99% of Steemians get the WRONG ideas about curation rewards”.

You can visit it here.

I have received many meaningful responses from the readers, not just those like “Nice post”, “Thank you” and “Please check out my post”. That makes me so happy and I am grateful for all of your responses and comments, especially for those who have upvoted and resteemed my post :)

Resteem is a good way to BOOST your curation rewards and support the good quality articles written by minnows, especially when you have a large number of followers.

However, you need to be very careful about the contents that you resteem, and it’s not a wise decision to abuse it. If you resteem every post you upvote, not only will it be annoying for your followers, but it will also ruin your own reputation.

Well, after all, who would want to make your own blog looks like a landfill, filled with garbage?

But I start wondering how to find out who have really resteemed my post, as I really want to REACH OUT TO MORE READERS and let more Steemians know more about how curation really works like, making a wiser decision every time they upvote a post.

Since we cannot find out who have resteemed our posts directly from Steemit.com, I started doing my research and I found out that this useful piece of information is available right here! On steemDB!

You just need to change “steemit” to “steemdb” in your post’s link and click “Reblogs” on the menu, Really simple, right? So now you know how many people have resteemed your post, hope this piece of information is useful for you. :) And I want give a big thanks to the 33 people who have resteemed my posts. :D

Please follow me @htliao if you enjoy reading my post, thank you :)

最近打算多用英語寫寫文章，像昨天發了篇關於curation rewards的文章，收到了不少外國朋友的熱烈回應，連一些很仰慕的大神也有來留言，而且還有很多人幫我把文章RESTEEM了呢，真是令我非常高興。

RESTEEM也是個不錯的賺Curation Rewards的方法，畢竟多好的文章也好，沒有人看到也就沒有意思了吧？也可以順道幫一幫助沒人注意的作者啦。對作者來說當然更好了，這就是在免費給你賣廣告啦，能不喜歡嗎？

但是也不能濫用啦，有玩Steem.chat或Discord的話也遇過有人提議互相交換resteem吧？建議各位還是對resteem採取謹慎的態度，只把你認為寫得很好的內容resteem啦，不然你的Blog裏就全是垃圾了，也不好看吧？

但是怎樣得知誰resteem了你的帖子呢？一直發現在Steemit好像不能查看誰resteem了你的帖子，可能在feed出現了一陣子就不見了，所以我研究了一下，發現原來一點也不難，只要透過steemDB把你帖子的url裏的steemit改成steemdb，再在menu中按下Reblogs就行了，十分簡單，原來昨晚總共竟然有33人幫我resteem了帖子呢！謝謝你們！

大家有resteem帖子的習慣嗎？

As a newbie who have played Steemit for merely two months, I have been trying to do everything to earn as much money as possible. I post almost every day and try to make connections with people, as well as joining meaningful projects like Minnow Support Project and #whalepower tag. Here is the proof of my hard work:

More than 1500 posts I have made and more than 700 followers, I bet I am doing better than average minnows. It also shows HOW HARD I have worked on this platform.

You can also figure out how I am doing these days by looking at this chart on steemwhales.

However, I can tell you that I just focused on thinking new topics to post every day and that made me a bit tired, and sometimes I run out of new ideas. Most importantly, I completely overlooked the POWER OF CURATION REWARDS, with more than 850 SP now, I started to realise its power.

If you are a really good curator, sometimes you can earn MORE than upvoting your own posts or comments. Most importantly, it’s much easier! It’s quite frustrating to get a few cents for a post that has spent you so much time and effort, isn’t it? On the other hand, you just need to press a button when you discovered some quality content, nearly effortless!

But here’s the problem, how can we get the most curation rewards?

Most of us know that it’s ideal to vote around 27-30 minutes so that you can get around 90%-100% of the curation rewards, but how to choose which post to curate?

I guess most of us have the following experience(I did too):

We follow some great authors, for example, @sweetsssj, and we notice that her new post just uploaded around 30 minutes ago with less than $100 rewards. I guess most of us would think that her post usually worth more than $1000 and it is an awesome opportunity to earn some curation rewards WITHOUT EVEN READING HER POST. But I can tell you that YOU ARE TOTALLY WRONG.

Here is the proof, both posts I upvoted with 100% voting power 30 minutes after posting:

WHATTTTT? Upvoting a $25 post can get much much more curation rewards than a $1000+ post!???

Yes, it’s obvious and it’s not hard to understand, but we just IGNORE it all the time. You have to share the curation rewards with a thousand and more people. Ask yourself why Steemit needs to give you much curation rewards if EVERYONE KNOWS SHE IS A GOOD AUTHOR, you made NO DISCOVERY OF GOOD CONTENT, zero contribution to the whole community.

I am not saying that you should not like the well-known authors’ posts, good posts deserve upvotes, but don’t think that you can earn much curation rewards. If you want to achieve more, you should eagerly look for other good contents.

I guess most of us have experienced a feeling like “Why I get only a few bucks(or even cents) for a post that I put so much effort in? WHY NO ONE UPVOTES ME? Why others can get dozens, hundreds or even thousands? This is such an unfair platform!”

Well, then I can tell you that YOU SHOULD BLAME YOURSELF for making this situation, we all help make it. It’s because we just focus on making our own posts, hoping others to upvote it but at the same time we never seriously read others’ posts and upvote them.

So, are you willing to make a change today? Try to read others’ post and eagerly looking for good content on Steemit.

Want to earn more Curation rewards?

The simpliest way to do so is FOLLOW ME, as I will always try to write and resteem good quality posts only from now on! And I am not a well known author. :p Thanks for reading it, let’s make discover good contents and make Steemit a better platform together.

At last, if you want more people to see this post and change the game, RESTEEM IT!!!

玩了Steemit兩個多月，我每天都嘗試發新文，寫關於不同題目的東西，旅遊、陰謀倫，介紹帖、教學帖、銀幣、投資、什麽我懂的都寫過了。這非常有趣，每天都要把腦袋中最後一絲想法也壓搾出來，分享給大家，也可能是製造區塊鏈上的垃圾，純粹自娛吧。

不得不說金錢Steemit的魅力的確十分驚人，我也沒想過我每天能寫這麼多字，都是逼出來的。這兩個月寫的字大概已比以往四年還多，相信以一條微不足道的小魚來說也算是小有成績吧。

每天寫文章說真的真的挺累的，也有沒有靈感的時候吧。

回到重點，談談curation rewards，也就是最近Steem Power開始有點增長才發現curation rewards的威力，有時候還比投自己票賺得更多rewards呢，當然賺的都是SP啦。

但可能我們大部分人都誤解了curation rewards的真正意義。你有試過坐在屏幕前等30分鐘投甜心大神的帖子，只為了賺取curation rewards 嗎？這沒問題，但你真的每次也有看她的帖子內容嗎？

看上面的圖你就能發現可能你投一個最後只值$25的帖也比投一個$1500的帖所賺的curation rewards還多。畢竟可有1400多人和你瓜分奬勵，而另一邊廂則只有17人。我不像O大哥會從代碼找線索，就只能傻傻地比較啦。 /_\

當然我不是說不要說不要把票投出名的作者或甜心大神啦，我可不想被誤會，會死人的 lol，好帖當然應該得到它們應有的奬勵，只是我們也不該忘記在Steemit的文字海裏找出真正高質的內容，貢獻社區之餘也好順便賺一下奬勵。

P.S. 小弟不是出名的作者，我的文章都沒多少人拜讀哦，要砸就把票砸我吧！

這次應該不會又弄錯出大糗了吧？我都有心理陰影了。 T^T

自硬叉19以來，相信大家都有發現我們帖子的收入在不斷減少，最嚴重的時候還接近40%呢！每日看見帖子的奬勵不斷減少真是十分痛心呀，相信沒有人會喜歡這現象吧。

以我這個自我介紹帖為例，開始的時候可是有接近$400的，到了payout的時候卻只剩$280左右了。 T^T

帖子奬勵減少的原因是奬勵池(Rewards pool)的資金在硬叉19後不斷在流走。在半個月的時間裏，奬勵池的資金不斷減少，現在已只有約半個月前的60%。那麼，有什麼解決辦法呢？

原來解決辦法很簡單，Steemit的算法奬勵多投票的用戶，所以當你多投票，多些金錢流入奬勵池，你的帖子奬勵的下降就自然會減慢。不信的話你可以試試看幾日不投票，你就會發現差別在哪了。

結論：大家千萬不要吝嗇，這樣對大家都沒有好處的，票都砸我吧！熱烈歡迎！別打臉就行了！

大家好，很久沒有發關於美食的文章了。中國的飲食文化博大精深，古時就有「民以食為天」之說，以致烹週藝術高度發展。今天會帶帶大家去中環品嚐一間特色中菜-龍麵館，店內裝潢富有中國武館特色，有詠春木人樁和兵器架作裝飾，我還特地預訂了該店的招牌菜-荷葉:八寶富貴雞呢！

門口有一條很大的金龍呢，還有個酒吧，這就是所謂的「中西合璧」吧。

先來看看第一道菜-藍莓冬瓜，冬瓜鮮甜的味道，再配上藍莓汁，很好吃的頭盤呢。

第二道菜-繡球青瓜，真想不到一塊塊青瓜也能堆砌得這麼美，就像花兒一樣。味道也挺不錯，很開胃。

第三道菜-茶燻素鵝，還不錯。

主菜來了，荷葉：八寶富貴雞，很期待呢。

一開始是這個樣子，服務員特地來幫我們點火，再用小槌子敲開泥土的外殼。

富貴雞吃進口裏有種燒味，入口酥爛肥嫩，口味獨特，配上鮑魚等珍貴食材，更顯高貴。

下一道菜是龍蝦蘿蔔酥，第一眼還以為它真是龍蝦呢，原來是蘿蔔酥這種小點心，裡面也有龍蝦肉的。

來到龍麵館當然要嚐一下它的面吧，所以就叫了個真空牛面，據說花了二十四小時來煮呢。

這個是龍肉泡飯，很霸氣的名字吧，龍蝦湯配上白飯，把大海的鮮味都帶到你的舌尖上了。

看完後有沒有食指大動呢？哈哈，想知道更多關於香港和世界各地的美食，記得繼續關注我的美食系列呢，畢竟我可是個終極吃貨呢！

好了，看到這麼多美國英雄你大概在想我是打錯標題了吧？沒有打錯字啦，這是Fiji 2016年的美國隊長3: 英雄內戰的銀幣套裝呢！這些天剛看了新的蜘蛛俠電影就拿出來看一下，可惜沒有蜘蛛俠呢 lol 每一塊銀幣都只發行3000塊哦。

You may wonder how would the heroes in the Marvel comics relate to silver coins. Yes, it’s a silver coin set, the 2016 Fiji Marvel Captain America Civil War 6-coin set. Each of these coins has a mintage limit of only 3000 pieces.

首先介紹的當然是主角，美國隊長和鋼鐵俠，有個精緻的包裝罐。

First of all, of course I will introduce the main characters, Ironman and Captain America. It has a exquisite packaging can.

這是2 Oz的銀幣呢，還可以分成2塊。

This is a 2 Oz set and it can be separate into two coins.

這是背面的樣子。

This is how it looks at the back

第二個介紹的是美國隊長的最佳戰友，冬日戰士。

The second one to introduce is Captain America’s best friend, Winter Soldier.

另一位美國隊長隊伍的成員，鷹俠。

Another Team Cap member, Falcon.

美麗的黑寡婦。

Beautiful Black Widow from the Team Stark.

在電影中新登場的英雄，黑豹。
