Topcomment Curation Service [Shark Tank Pitch]


image.png

What is Topcomment?

Topcomment is a comment curation service that rewards meaningful and engaging comments on the Hive blockchain. The Topcomment is a team of curators that searches for engagning comments that deserve to be rewarded.
We do this because we think that leaving meaningful comments on blogs is really important. What is blogging worth when you don't get any meaningful comments or replies as "Great blog" or "Nice pictures"?

By reading the comments and manually upvoting them, we give the commenters some appreciation in the form of curation rewards.
All of our upvotes are done manually!
We upvote comments in different languages (we also curators that speak Spanish and we translate other languages).

Apart from the comments we find ourselves, every Hiver can also nominate a comment for a @topcomment upvote, just by mentioning us in the reply of that comment.
Our curators will check if it complies with our rules and upvote it when it does.

If you want to read more about our project, you should check out the following blog:
What is the Topcomment Curation Service? / ¿Qué es el servicio de curación Topcomment?

Read more about the service and how you can support this project below the report!

Our goal

As mentioned above, the goal of the @topcomment Curation Service is to reward Hivers that leave high quality and engaging comments on blogs. By doing this we hope to achieve that more people feel encouraged to respond to blogs and there will be more engagement on Hive.

Earlier this year, I also wrote out about a concrete goal I would like to achieve with this @topcomment service. In one of our weekly report blogs I wrote that, I would love to see that we could give an upvote that is worth $1 by the end of the year.
With our stake, our delegations and the the current price of Hive, our upvote is $0.22

That's still far from the $1 goal, but I still think it is possible. But for this we need some support!

With a higher vote we would be able to give higher upvotes or choose to lower the percentage of the upvote and upvote more comments.

Supporting @topcomment with a delegation

The upvotes we give are based on our own stake and our delegations.
The more delegations, the higher the rewards we can give away!
As a delegators to the @topcomment Curation Service you also profit from the upvotes we give since we return 80% of the curation rewards to the delegators. We do this automatically on a daily basis. The payment comes in the form of liquid Hive.
So if you find your Voting Power frequently at 100%, delegating some of your stake to @topcomment could be a good option.

For delegating to topcomment can use the following tool. It works with Hive Keychain, so it is safe. You can change the amount you want to delegate. Every delegation is appreciated. A lot of small delegations will become a large amount alltogether.

We also have a couple of predefined Hivesigner links that you could use to give us a delegation.

| 10 HP | 25 HP | 50 HP | 100 HP | 250 HP | 500 HP | 1000 HP | 1500 HP | 2000 HP |

Upvoting our reports

If you want use your Hive stake well yourself, you might not want delegate to too many projects. In that case we are also very happy to receive an upvote from you every now and then.
We publish a weekly report featuring all the upvotes posts. You can find them under the following tag: #topcommentreport

How the funds are used

Our project has two 'income streams'; curation- and post rewards.
As already mentioned above, 80% of the curation rewards will be given back to our delegators. 10% of the curation rewards will be distributed to our curators. This 10% will be divided over the 5 curators, based on the number of upvotes they have given. The last 10% is being used to grow the account.
The post rewards are all Powered Up into the account and immediately have impact on our outgoing votes.

Transparency

As mentioned above, we provide a weekly #topcommentreport where you can check how many and even which comments were upvoted. Besides that, all transactions are visible on the blockchain as well.
We try to diversify the disctribution of votes. We are with five curators from different countries, different genders, different ages and different interests.

The diagram above shows an overview of the acccounts that received the most votes in the past weeks. We see some people that have revceived some more upvotes, but we also see a lot of different names. That shows we really diversify our upvotes.

Comments matter!

Comments keep Hive alive. They connect people, start conversations and bring real value to the blockchain. With this curation service we reward those who make a difference.
Join us in our journey to support good comments by supporting our Curation Service.
Either with a delegation or with upvotes and/or reblogs of our #topcommentreport every now and then.

If you have any questions or remarks, feel free to comment on this blog or contact us on Discord.
We have our own server, the Topcomment Discord Server

"Because comments matter — let’s give them the value they deserve."

I feel targeted. I've been lazy with my comments these last few days, but this has well and truly been a worthwhile project to delegate to. I have followed many of the authors the authors of the "top comments" make comments on - and it has opened me up to a deeper, more community driven side of HIVE that I may have not even encountered otherwise.

A place where people have deep, engaging conversations, and actually read the content published by others beyond the surface level of the words.

Initiatives like top comment are exactly what we need on HIVE!

You can't always have time to comment on everything...

We think so too!
