Welcome to the **162nd** 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 $0.15 - $1.46!
 
**Note:** some of you have been curated twice since the start of the daily qurator and some have been curated only once.

When the opportunity arises, posts from older users will be curated once again

>This double portrait of a married couple is a gift from children to parents on their 30th anniversary of living together... I was asked to paint a portrait in the style of my diploma painting... The idea was to portray them as a dancing waltz. As in the first wedding dance

@alexkorolart started this portrait as a sketch and soon, the images on the canvas took a life of their own. Stop by and see the process to making such a beautiful keepsake.

[Liev Puppet Theater](https://steemit.com/swmchallenge/@juliannna/kiev-puppet-theater)
>Do you want to get into a fairy tale? If yes, then no doubt you need to visit the Kiev Puppet Theater... The building of the theater is a majestic structure, reminiscent of a noble estate of the 17th-18th centuries, or a fairy-tale castle. Tower clock, numerous balconies, terraces, sculptures of fairy-tale heroes 

@juliannna and her son had a FABULOUS day visiting the Kiev Puppet Theater! There's so much to see; even an interactive area where young visitors can sit in a throne for a picture opportunity. From exhibits of dolls to an aquarium, there's something here for everyone.

# <center>The new and improved Qurator bot is here! </center>

<br>

## Why the new bot? 

<br>

The current bot had a 24 hour timer built in, thus you can only get upvotes 24 hours apart. Missing that window and you might not get your upvote. This resulted in posts not getting upvotes. The old EDIT and UPDATE trick always worked its magic but was a bit of a hassle. 

### Out with the old, in with the new!

<br>

The new bot will search for posts to upvote 24 hour after your previous upvote. If you posted 2 post in a 24 hour period it will go back and upvote your posts. (More details to follow)

#### The new bot will be active withing the next 24 hours. We are busy getting everything ready and transferring databases. During this time both @qurator and @qurator-tier-0 will be offline. Please understand and be patient while we handle the necessary upgrades. 

<br>

*The bot is completely new and even though we did test it, there might still be some errors that we have to work out during the next few days.* 

### *UPDATE: We are seeing some minor issues with the bot and will be testing it more on the @qurator-tier-0 account. Once it is stable on that account and all the bugs have been sorted out we will let it go live on the main @qurator account.*

## <center>Steemauto Curation Trail</center>

<br>

<center>https://steemitstageimages.com/DQmRviZWBhhxeNa6TSQKpSitHj3XHmGC24WUxn9uUVTWCG6/steemauto.png</center>

<center>RIP Streemian and hello Steemauto! The new curation trail is active and running! If you would like to support your fellow Qurites or just earn some extra curation feel free to join our curation trail that is active on Steemauto. 

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 </center>
