Greetings Steemians,
are you wondering what we've been doing over the last week? If yes, here's a quick post filling you in.
Relaunch Smartsteem
We're making great progress towards the relaunch. Our first version will be an MVP, which will also include the first use-cases of SmartPoints. Estimated time of arrival is approximately 2-3 weeks.
Curation
We've been continually curating manually for the past week.

This hasn't been easy due to the lack of original Steem-related content, which is why we've curated other categories as well.
Now, we're not planning to curate only 100% Steem-specific contributions, however, it is something we're highly interested in. Especially, development projects and contributions.
Behind The Scenes
We would also like to give you a small glimpse into our curation process:
Besides using the amazing tool made by @curie; https://steemlookup.com, we've also developed our own little software suite.
One part of it is scanning the blockchain for undiscovered content, that our curators are then receiving for review.
Another part are transfers of SBD & STEEM to @null, which our curators review as well.
And last but not least, we're following already curated authors, whose newly-created posts are then being submitted to our curators. This process, allows us to achieve a curation curve, which can even triumph automatic voters. So if you've been wondering how we're able to vote so ealy, that's the reason.
Most importantly, outgoing votes for curation are always checked by a curator. So we're not simply following successfully authors without reviewing their content.
Closing Words
We want to thank our delegators, especially those who have stuck with us since our change to curation. We know that believing in SmartPoints is a leap of faith, but we're doing our best to share with you our vision ASAP with the MVP.
Sincerely, Team Smartsteem
