- <a href="https://discord.gg/B8JFmJ4">Join the C² Discord community</a> to participate as a curator.<hr>
- Follow the @c-cubed curation trail at <a href="https://steemauto.com/">steemauto.com</a> to support the curated authors: @c-cubed casts ~10 upvotes daily, all at 100% vote strength, on some of the best posts curated through C².
<hr>

- @c-squared is also an available curation trail at <a href="https://steemauto.com/">steemauto.com</a>: ~70-100 posts are upvoted daily through @c-squared at ~10-15% vote strength.  Smaller accounts, and accounts following the curation trail at a reduced vote %, will likely lose a significant portion of their votes' value if trailing @c-squared.  For most accounts the @c-cubed trail is the better choice (see <a href="https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@crokkon/how-will-the-hf20-dust-vote-changes-affect-the-vote-values">this analysis of the dust vote threshold changes under HF20</a> to understand why casting a large number of small % votes is not optimal).
