I have a question: I sent 0.1 SBD to a bot (upyou) and it said that the vote value would be 1.08$ and as it voted I just got about 0,35$. Am I understanding the vote value wrong? Should I not get 1.08$ for the vote?
@aki0007 0.10 SBD $0.91 3.57% $1.10

Very informative... Keep up the good work

Hello @yabapmatt! 

I have never used bid bots. I appreciate your work very much and I would like to know which column is more important, what advice can you give me?

How often can I use a bot bid? Thank you.

I still do not understand what it is Steem Bot Tracker because I am a beginner in steemit, I will learn even harder. thanks a lot for his enlightenment @yabapmatt

Hello, First forgive me self-voting this comment, I just wanna make sure you gonna read it.

I'm an avid user of bots and i love the mathematics aspect of that on the blockchain, some older guys does not like the bots usage, I'm trying to research but never found a set in stone ToS of Steemit.com...

it's ok to use bots? Do you think the anti-bots argument is valid? 

My personal view is that they are a tool here and we are not sure how long that will be allowed, so its metter to make good use of it now. What's your thoughs?

Lastly, its true that you can get flagged just for using bots? i think it makes sense if you are exploiting the system with spams, but if the post is really good. I dont see why can't we use some power to be more profitable. I believe that the bots bring most value both to steem and sbd last weeks and are helping to put Steemit.com near the mainstream more than the oldschool whaleprotective guys.

I sent 1 SBD with memo about 2 hours ago But didn't get any vote

thanks

So as to learn, I clicked to open:
http://www.steembottracker.com/
but my brower blocked it, saying you did not configure it safely. If it is used for making bids, shouldn't it be https ? I'm asking out of ignorance, not trying to be clever or snarky.

Love this site do you actually code bots yourself?

This is wonderful!

very good

Awesome / New Follower

Keep up the spectacular stuff !  TY

good stuff mate...      :}

wow this is interesting ! I'm  definitely trying it out.

Great work on this bot, it does an exceptional job in finding quick data, I am not sure how you guys bid these before, and I am pretty good at high number math.  --->I had a question for you, (by the way I voted for you as a witness recently) What would the pros and cons of having curation payouts being made out to the people who placed bids/bets on the share, within a certain period of the article being posted, with a bid bot program similar to yours?  Let me know if the question does/does not make sense and the rationale either way.  If you could respond I would be greatly appreciative!  Thanks again @yabamatt for the excellent work you do for us here on the platform sir!   Sincerely, @cryptkeeper17

Hi, thank you for putting effort to create such a good content. Upvoted and followed.

I read your post, watched number of youtube videos and read few other articles about steemit bots and Im still a little bit confused.
Assuming that Im just a new user with very few followers and Im planning to build some content (hopefully interesting).
Should I try to use bots as soon as post is being published or as late as possible?

Please advise

Hi buddy,

I know that this is not very "fresh" post but I still hope you can advise/help me.

I was trying to use steembottracker.com to boost my posts and I experimented a little bit with this tool.

My impression is:
1) if Im planning to upvote my own post as soon as possible after post has been published, then I will benefit the most as an author and curators will benefit very little (as they will most likely upvote after bots did their job).

Is that correct?

2) So if I would like to benefit my curators (as Im really here for right reasons) then the best think is:
- NOT self-voting right after I publish post
- allow curators to upvote on your post (hopefully they autovote)
- after 30minutes self-vote and then start using bots.

This way my own reward as an author will be smaller, but all my curators would get bigger portion of reward. Am I right?

I hope you can share your experience. And of course check out my profile if you are passionate about cryptomarket or AI.

Cheers, Piotr

Thanks for writing this post. It is a real eye opener

Aksdwi info are totally incorrect. Please remove it from your list because just collecting bids.  It gone to 0:00 min and has to vote... Instead of voting counter gone to 16:00 min then gone to 0:00 (no vote) and started  counting from 16:00 minutes second time.

Is this a right way to get upvotes from bots?
means steemit support it or not?

You are taking the bar up and upper for me :)
Really nice work.

FD.

This is awesome. While I haven't used a bot in a while this is awesome for those that are. Also simplifies using bots for those who are new to the platform.

why is the site asking for steemit password, not the posting key?? is it safe? (Hope that I won't regret as I have already used it)

Oh thats a good update. Will make it more easier for us. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good job :)

@yabapmatt where can i contact you because @upmyvote scamed me and is not responding also not refunding.
I sended 30 sbd and he voted only half of the value that he was supposed to, here is the proof below:
https://steemitimages.com/DQmVeZwgRCBruQwds4xwV2mKzPYTS6CfA8m79KvKJRsXLtB/umv%201.png
Here is the bid too with his vote percentage which is supposed to be 42.61% and $87.41  here's the screenshot i made from my phone:
https://steemitimages.com/DQmQBzfjZEJKvha5eFfm5v2xKgXTSs3ZDRDWkdxRPx14LcB/umv%203.png
Here you have what he voted on my post check this below:
https://steemitimages.com/DQmerHsDDsdL1qeDW7dXZd2KuttnQwkD62ixUBxPagTQGyi/umv.png
As you can see he voted only 20% = 41.27 $ here's another proof:

Please check this issue.

How can bots benefit the long term interest of the steemit community when they are used to generate profits for the authors regardless of the quality of the content posted (i.e. reaping the reward pool)?
