Hi @jan23com I see where your concerns lie. Since I run the cryptkeeper17 curie trail I am happy to address them, as long as do a lot of work on @greetersguild alongside my teammates in this project. First, the single upvote is meant for someone to have an ounce of skin in the project if they want to enter. Their upvote is going to make no one rich, in fact they very likely have voted like 20-50 times already, because that is pretty much what every newbie does eventually. Also I am getting them minnowbooster votes after reading their post, commenting on it, and verifying it isn't spam garbage. Everyone that has joined our curation trail has spent a lot of time with me and other friends like the newbieresteem team, the newbiegames team, and just about anyone else on here that we can use as an asset to gather them information they wish to know. We offer as much education of all things on here to the fullest of our abilities. The curation trail is offered so that they can get ongoing support in upvotes, and is frankly a way I and the others in the group can track their ongoing progress. I work with a lot of people on here, on a lot of different things, and admit I can get sidetracked, so that works well on all fronts. Plus with the current price of steem, the newbie that enters the curation trail also gets some very solid curation rewards, or is incentivized to keep their voting power up, or to build their steempower through purchasing steem or leasing via delegation. That and we haven't even mentioned the chance for them to participate in the steembasicincome program, that will get them yet a little higher floor voting start on each of their posts daily thanks to the multitude of mind blowing support this has already received. This is not an organization, but much more a group of people that are doing the same thing we have done on here since we started under one common banner. I thank you for your comment and would be curious if I missed any of your concerns with the project and/or contest.
