Manual curation is good for the tribe, can bring significant curation rewards (if you regularly power up your tokens), but it also has one serious drawback - it is very time-consuming. Besides that, you have constant stress to care, that your voting power should not IDLE at 100%. Because if you allow this to happen - you are simply loosing your potential curation rewards. For the maximalists like myself, this can be very, very stressful. To avoid this stress, you get sucked-in in a never ending "7-day working week" routine.
But there is a simple solution. You can follow somebody on a curation trail. Sure, there is a wide selection of whom you can follow. But not all trails are equal, and not all give you the same advantages or privileges.

Here are some advantages to those, who will select my VYB account @onealfa.vyb as your curation trail
- I do almost 100% manual curation with this dedicated VYB account. Upvotes from it have low probability to land onto a low value shitposts or plagiation posts.
- This account is used to curate only posts in the "VYB space" - you have low chance to waste your upvotes on posts without this VYB TAG. Hence - not wasting your RC and/or voting power without VYB rewards.
- The followers on my trail, which hold significant effective stake (stake+incoming delegations SUM = or above 500 VYB power) may get my supporting VYB delegation back from me, to make your votes even stronger, and curation rewards bigger. This VYB delegation will be honored only to these followers, who make their "vote weight" percentage 50% or more, see step "7B" down below.
- My delegation size will equal 5% from your combined "stake+incoming delegations SUM". Example: If you hold 3000 VYB stake and 2000 VYB incoming delegation power, you will get (3000+2000)*0.05 = 250 VYB delegation from me.
- I do not ask any returns, payments, votes nor whatever else back, for my delegated VYB's (as in the situations described above).
- The 5% level for supporting delegations is not burned in stone. It may change, depending on how much success this project will receive
How to get on the voting trail
(for those who never did that before)
1 . Go to site hive.vote. Click on button "LOGIN/REGISTER"
2 . The HiveSigner window will open. Enter your loging acct and password (2A), or "add another account" (2B), if you are new to HiveSigner
3 . Once you get logged in the HIVE.VOTE site, click on DASHBOARD (3A), modify settings (3B), and click CURATION TRAIL (3C). I recommend setting your MANA THRESHOLD to 80% or less
4 . In the new window find SEARCH section, enter my acct onealfa.vyb and hit SEARCH
5 . Once trail is found, hit FOLLOW
6 . Click on SETTINGS
7 . Here if you like, you can enable comment voting (7A), time to wait (7C) and voting weight (7B). The latter is that important parameter, which will enable you to get my supporting delegation, as described above. Hit SAVE SETTINGS (7D)
8 . DONE. Find more trails if you like, or browse for more features on this hive.vote site.
If I see you have reblogged this post, I will consider something to make you smile. 🙂
See ya on the trail !

Here are the first 12 VYB delegations to my trail followers, to those who meet the requirements:
Voting power of this trail (after weigh % multipliers applied) is now 28,713 VYB. Nice addition to my own 253,009 VYB voting power.
