The CTPSB Token is one month old

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


31 days ago the ctpsb tokens were distributed and we can be very happy with how this token has developed. We have passed from 7076 owned hive power to 8670 hive power. The number of tokens in circulation have passed from 6'956 to 8'160 and the value of the token from 1.017 to 1.063. This is an increase of 4.5% in one month. Calculated on a whole year this represents an APR of 53.2% !

Don't get discouraged by the Hive prices

Please don't be discouraged by the low Hive prices at the moment. This is actually a great opportunity to produce content. You will always get the same amount of hive even if the value of your posts seem lower.

Problems with the upvote app

I'm using a service to upvote your posts. Unfortunately, this service hasn't been working for more than a week. I haven't realized immediately and I missed some posts. I'm doing now manual upvoting and hopefully the service will be working again soon.

Please make sure that your posts have a minimal standard of quality

While upvoting posts, I realized that some posts really don't deserve to be upvoted. There are some posts that are simply copy pastes from one day to the next with maybe a couple of sentences that are altered. When I look at the effort that some people are putting in their posts, I believe that it's not correct if such bad posts are upvoted the same way.

It's up to you to put some quality in what you produce.

77'000 CTP delegations

It's amazing to see how many people have delegated CTP tokens to the CTPSB. We have now a total of more than 77'000 CTP tokens delegated to the account. This gives amazing upvotes and gives value to your posts in Hive and CTP.

On a personal note

This week has been very difficult for me because of Covid. The authorities have put big restrictions on the economy and it has affected my offline business directly. In addition to that the teacher of my son has caught the virus and my son who is 9 years old is now in quarantine. This has taken a lot of my time and it prevented me from being active on the blockchain.

On a more positive level, I'm working on a little project that aims to bring an external income to the CTPSB project. I will write a post about it on my @achim03.ctp account. I would be very happy if you could give me a feed-back about it.

I think you've done a great job with the CTPSB Achim.
The growth is amazing.

To the what you said about posts with little "quality".
Just give different value votes to the posts.
70% as you give now would be your normal, and highest vote.
Then you can go as low as 10% or even 1% if you feel the post has really bad "quality".

This account is here to help us grow, but it should not act like an automatic upvote bot account.
Constructive criticism also help us grow so if CTPSB gave a lower % vote and also left a comment explaining why, and maybe how we could improve and secure a higher vote next time that would be great.

I totally agree with you on this. The problem with automatic upvoting is that you don't realize the extend of the quality difference between different posts. I honestly don't want to judge people and their content but I believe that it's not fair if people who don't put an effort get the same upvotes than the people who create content with a lot of added value.

Really sorry to read about what's happening in your country..I'm afraid that it's like that a bit everywhere unfortunately...Just hope that your son continues without any symptoms and...well..enjoy the quality time with him even thought everything is left behind for a bit lol
You can try what Asle says and upvote a smaller percentage and add a comment about it. But the reality unfortunately is some will continue doing the same so if that's the case I believe it's better to stop and save the upvote for better content.
I will try do the same as part of the Swarm Squad :)
Keep up the good work and looking forward for reading about "your thing" ;)

I believe it's better to stop and save the upvote for better content.

I quite agree with that. In a way the CTPSB project is meant to develop the community but I believe it gives a wrong incentive when the account upvotes content that is not worth it.

looking forward for reading about "your thing" ;)

It's soon ready...lol

Thanks a lot for your comment!

As always, it is great to see how much the CTPSB is growing. I enjoy your updates & progress we are making with it! :)

I agree about upvoting only quality content. You know I am always yelling about this ha ha. As you said, there is so much to talk about & people can be creative as they want. This is why I enjoy branching out & exploring different topics. Otherwise, as a creator, I get that "stuck" feeling & no one enjoys that. So, upvoting quality content would make the CTPSB even better, because people would know it only supports GOOD content. That might push creators a little more to go out of their comfort zones & DO something. :)

I am sorry the automatic upvoter wasn't working. I am glad you caught it. Hopefully the guy gets back to you. I always become leery when I contact someone about a technical issue & they don't get back to me after a week. So, that might be something to look at. Unresponsive customer service agents or owners don't exactly fill me with faith lol. I hope he does reach out!

You are doing fantastic, my friend, & don't feel you have to apologize. Stuff happens, especially this year! I will keep you & your family in my prayers. We all understand you are doing the best you can, which is a lot. :) Let us know if we can help in any other way.🧚🏼‍♀️🙏🏻💚

upvoting quality content would make the CTPSB even better

That's a good point. I think that people are almost unanimous about that. If the automatic upvotes are not possible in the near future I will go on with manual curation and I will skip posts that are not deserving to be upvoted.

The problem with these upvote services is that they are more or less free to use and if they don't work, the guys who created them don't care too much...

Stuff happens, especially this year!

You are totally right about that. What a year... I can only hope that it will be better in 2021...lol

Thanks a lot for your precious comment my friend!

It's great to see the progress in the @ctpsb account and it's growing nicely... The upvoting app sucks (that doesn't work), and I was using it for the same thing... for "filtering" CTP tag (and comments) from my personal account... I hope the developer will fix it...

Regarding upvotes... I don't want to be a "told-you-guy", but we started at a similar time both projects, CTPSB and CTP curation trail... As I was moderating posts for CTP TIA for some time, I was aware that there are "different quality" types of content on CTPTalk...

Because of that, I have stated at the beginning that the trail account will upvote ONLY quality posts from the CTP Swarm... I have stated a couple of times that, and reasons WHY I will do that (my Curation Trail series posts explain that very well)...

CTPSB is different as it is a community project, but still, as @aslehansen said, it is not an upvoting bot for its contributors... If I understood it well, it is a community project that supports community growth...

Well, there is no growth if we are upvoting shitposts and promote our CTP Swarm as a place to dump your copy/paste posts... It looks ugly, and nobody likes to see shitposts all around... We battle against these things by NOT GIVING them attention... Or by downvoting... lol :)

Also, I disagree with giving additional comments to the low-effort posts... It's time-consuming, and it will take YOUR time and probably be ignored from the other side... But, that's just my opinion... You can try... Tbh, ALL of us should do that, and not just you... We should point-out posts and guide people to bring more value...

The idea about ad revenue outside is an interesting one... I hope that the page can generate enough views to make a difference and decent payment...

I think that a lot of people have no idea what amount of time YOU invest in all this... I know that nobody forced you to do, but still, it would be nice if people will appreciate that more...

Thanks for doing this awesome job for the community!

Thanks a lot for this amazing comment Zoltan. I can understand you better now. It must be quite frustrating at times to go through all these posts and look for the ones that are of quality. It's obvious that some peole take this here much more seriously than others. I believe that not everybody can create wonderful posts on a daily basis but I really didn't like the copy paste stuff...

The idea about ad revenue outside is an interesting one... I hope that the page can generate enough views to make a difference and decent payment...

With this single page it won't help to make any difference but I have another project in mind that I'm working on and if the community is game for using it, I believe it could make a real difference. I will present the idea asap.

I think that a lot of people have no idea what amount of time YOU invest in all this... I know that nobody forced you to do, but still, it would be nice if people will appreciate that more...

It's true that this project is quite time consuming but I believe that it's nice to see how people are supporting it by buying tokens, delegating and so on. For me this is appreciation enough ;-).

As you said in yesterdays vlog, a community is built by its members. Together we bring this thing forward and if we all participate then this community will develop to the moon. You are doing a huge part with the curation trail the thisisawesome curation and especially for giving us your insightful comments on our posts....

Take care of yourself and your family.

If you see that post are not meeting standards, it is better to leave them without upvote. A small note and comment can be left at the user's post.

CTPSB is now one of the talked project of CTP even outside the CTP community and we are trying to go one step further with OCD curation.

In any case if it look like CTPSB is upvoting sub par content ,it will not give good message to the outside community (even in CTP community too.).

Thanks a lot for your comment. You are quite about that. Since I'm forced to do manual curation at the moment, I believe that this should be done according to quality and not because of a subscription.

First of all rally sorry to know about that the teacher of your kid get infected and I wish that every things is all right at your end...
You are putting your best efforts to the project.
I am glad to be a part of the growing project.
As you say finding a quality post and upvote them is not a easy task, I am agreed with aslehansen the post may be upvoted as per the quality of the post instead of the fixed upvote but that means also you have to explore a lot and read the posts.
May be this is a time to increase the team and depute some persons to curate the post. Just a suggestion....
