Today once again, the automated curation bot made 217 votes at 3.5%. These votes were given to users who wrote posts of 500 words or more and who also have a good reputation on the platform. If you were not selected this time, there are a few possible reasons: the bot sometimes pauses itself in order to keep its voting mana close to 100%, allowing it to stay efficient over time.
It’s also important to note that the bot currently runs in the background on my personal computer. This can sometimes create small errors or interruptions, especially when I am using my PC at the same time. That’s why I am still looking for a small and inexpensive desktop computer that could run the bot 24/7, directly connected to my internet box. I don’t want to spend too much on it, since this project is mainly for fun and experimentation—it doesn’t really generate income, it’s more about contributing to the community.
All users who were voted by the bot should also have received an additional reward of 0.0003 GLYPH on hive-engine.com (tribaldex.com), on top of the 3.5% vote. It’s not much, but it’s a small bonus that comes with the support.
Why 500 words?
At first, I had set the limit to 300 words to trigger a vote. However, I quickly noticed that the voting mana was dropping very fast. Below 3.5%, with my current Hive Power, the rewards are almost non-existent.
Even now, at 3.5%, the reward value is still quite low, but that’s not really the main goal. It’s more like saying “hey, I saw your post, and it deserves recognition.” By increasing the requirement to 500 words, I encourage more detailed and structured content, while also preserving voting mana.
If you ever notice a post in the automated curation that doesn’t deserve to be voted, feel free to let me know. Normally, the bot is set up to follow blacklists and avoid such cases, but there may still be adjustments needed. I’ll take some time this weekend to review and improve those settings.
On my side, I continue to delegate BEE to the account @benef.tribes. My goal is to reach 5,000 BEE to strengthen curation. Once that goal is achieved, the BEE earnings will be used to improve the GLYPH token.
At this pace, it may take time—probably until 2027—but that’s perfectly fine. I prefer to move slowly and build something solid rather than rushing without a proper foundation.

On a personal note, I am still working toward my goal of reaching 20K Hive Power. It’s an important milestone for me, as it will allow me to have a greater impact on curation and support more creators over the long term.
If you don’t know what to do with your GLYPH tokens, sell them, keep them, burn them—it’s up to you, they’re yours, you can do whatever you want with them. And with that, I wish you a great day—enjoy the sun, but not too much, and make sure to stay well hydrated.
