I have readied everything I need, my DSLR, my bike, my snacks and my coffee but to my dismay, the night sky was very cloudy and all I can see was just the moonlight covered by the clouds. >I told myself, maybe in a few minutes the clouds will clear, so I waited until 8 pm but still it’s the same cloudy sky While @iamkuyaj wasn't able to see the super blue blood moon, he did have some time to reflect on happiness in life, how to be content and what a person needs to do to find his or her place in the world.

--- # NEWS --- # Registration Fee Increase to 4 STEEM
When Qurator started **145** days ago the registration fee was **1SBD/STEEM** after 100 members we had to increase the fee to **2SBD/STEEM** to make room for new members and get more Delegations in order to keep the upvotes fair to investors/supporters. We kept the fee to **2SBD/STEEM** for the next **900 members** but now that we have grown as much as we did and the fact that SBD/STEEM prices are so volatile. We will be changing the Registration fee to **4 STEEM (NOT SBD)**. We will no longer accept SBD for registration, simply because we need the STEEM to lease and renew Delegations from the @minnowboosters market. We do this with a heavy heart but it is necessary to keep up with our current leases and to get some new ones in order to keep supporting new members. If we do not increase the fee, we will not be able to accept new members. That is not something we want to do, but sadly we are not getting much whale support on when it comes to upvoting the Qurator Posts. Effective immediately as soon as we reach **1000 members** the fee will be increased to **4 STEEM**. Currently at **916 members** there are **84 slots** left at the old rate. After they have been approved and registered it will be **4 STEEM**. --- # Steemit Challenges on Discord

https://steemitstageimages.com/DQmRviZWBhhxeNa6TSQKpSitHj3XHmGC24WUxn9uUVTWCG6/steemauto.png 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%, try around 2-3% and see how it goes, do not want to drain your voting power too much. Qurator upvotes a lot and might take a lot of your bandwidth as well so if you do not have a lot of SP maybe don't join the trail just yet. =) 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 [Steemauto guide and registration info](https://steemit.com/guide/@scrooger/steemauto-full-guide-and-how-to-register) --- --- --- # Want bigger upvotes?
