OCDB Whitelist Application

in #ocdb5 years ago (edited)

#newsteem in full force and I already like the looks of trending and how things have been evolving around here. I've already had a lot of talks with Steemians about the usage of @ocdb, many are a lot more careful with using max bids depending on the effort and quality of the content and that's amazing to see. Many of the more established ones have also stopped using it completely which is also great, we hope they will use their earned stake through OCDB well in the future through curation and of course downvoting! I'm hoping that over time OCDB can focus more on newcomers and giving them their kickstart into their Steem journey along with assistance from @ocd curation and @ocd-witness slider delegations that we have been actively doing as of late. Without getting too much into all the activity of @ocd lately as I have my hands super full right now I want to keep this post short.

We've had three Whitelist application/recommendation posts in the past and with the new HF we want to offer more active users on the blockchain another chance to join the whitelist who write high effort and quality original content. For those completely unaware of @ocdb, it works like this:

  • @ocd team of curators curate your post and add you to the compilation post, this gets you whitelisted normally
  • this means you can now use @ocdb daily by sending it a 2-20 SBD bid for your post, you decide how big the bid should be but keep the downvotes of the community in mind.
  • you get a 2.25x ROI upvote as of now (10% goes to the SPS and 50% goes to curators)
  • votes are now instant up to 4 day old posts, so you choose when you want to boost your post but here also remember that a lot of attention may also bring in more downvotes
  • for more details on how you should use it without possibly being the target of downvotes or getting removed from the whitelist, check out these guidelines
  • Vouching for authors through voting on the recommendation or commenting on it has an effect on the outcome depending on the accounts doing the vouching

How to apply for the OCDB whitelist

  1. Recommend a username or your own for the whitelist
  2. Add a few examples of their recent posts that portray their general quality
  3. If they aren't the highest quality authors but you feel they should be on the whitelist due to other reasons (such as what they do on/for Steem) then let us know what that is
  4. Has to be english content or english + native

There are no limits to how many you can recommend.
Not everyone will make it on the whitelist, we will check each manually and make an unanimous decision.
Check that the user isn't already in the whitelist to save us some time

The stricter guidelines recently posted will also take effect the chances of whitelisting a recommended user.

Thanks for your interest in our nonprofit distribution bot. We want to get as many deserving Steemians onto it and keep increasing the whitelist with more and more content creators joining our network and hope it will at the same time increase retention and engagement.

We have more plans for further evolving our system so stay tuned for more news!

I do want to nominate @costanza.
He writes a daily betting blog, is one of the founders of the Steem betting community and runs a fair Upvoteshares system!
Cheers,

Thanks for the nomination Peter, being whitelisted sure would come in handy to make sure posts get closer to the linear reward curve number so the ones that give out support also benefit.

Nomination supported !

Things started heating up post hf 21/22 ....need few day to completely understand the new curve and adapt accordingly. I see many already in backfoot

Pretty great isn't it? hf23 should bring in another layer of dynamic change and that one is communities and SMTs and hopefully great for content creators.

Today , I gave up on ceation,now more focus on hitting the button at right time. Help me understand the benefit to creator...

If you create good content, more people will focus on hitting the button at the right time on your posts?

Let see ...after 2 years of creation, now how curation benefits after HF21. Seems it give better result on right.time hit

Yeah.... after 2 years here I have to move to Curation. I don’t get much from my photography, Artwork or other artistic endeavours anymore ...maybe a few pennies....... oh well.

Have to adapt to succeed on #NewSteem. Luckily I am making $$$ from my Videos on Youtube and Hideout.TV ....

Yes...walking alongwith the time is what considered as smart move. Hope the newsteem helps us all in making few bucks rather than making pennies with posts

Sounds legit :D

Maybe change the parameters of the reward curve in HF23, @tarazkp? The curve is fine, but a most profitable payout at 20 STEEM again encourages bid botting, and sounds a bit like a crystal tower decision... 1 STEEM would be a fair threshold..
@blockchainstduio wrote a short analysis here

While 20 is steep, I think 1 Steem is far too low.

It's real; only a small percentage makes more than 1 STEEM on a post.

Finally i catch this whitelist. I want to nominate myself @ignacioarreses to be part of the whitelist.

I was producing original, funny, and diverse good content by myself since september last year.

I discover steemit, and then @dtube and i involved a lot of myself in that daps.

I would be part of the whitelist because i engage a lot with the @dtube comunity and steemians. I made good friends as @nathanmars7 and @prettynicevideo , they can add here some good references about me i think.

Thanks a lot for give me this oportunity.

New steem , new energy, new life to the ecosistem !

Peace out !

Hi, Acidyo.

I remember you let me know this post was coming sometime back. Allow me to recommend myself.
Here are some of my favorite posts that I would throw in for consideration.

I love doing posts on Football (Mostly Manchester United) and on Splinterlands (Formerly Steem Monsters) which is my favorite Steem DApp.

Hello, thank you for this opportunity.
I would like to nominate myself. I've done everything on my blog, but lately, I devote more of my time to writing stories, mostly related to steem video games like Splinterlands or NextColony.

I write in English and Spanish, here are some of my last posts:

Black Eyes
The Siege
The Stairs
Mushroom Sauce
The Exploration - Chapter I.3
