Hi @howo I read your proposal, and also read your post https://peakd.com/hive/@howo/my-hive-story where I read this, quoted: "september 2019: hard fork 21 got released and with it the steem proposal system (now DHF), which ment devs could get funded for the first time, I release my first proposal to fund an anti-curation tool to auto downvote and kill bidbots and farmers."

This piqued my interest as I've been around on steem/hive almost as long as you, and I and many others spoke out against bidbots, some of these people were driven away from steem in 2018 due to harassment and general relentless arguing from many of the people who did a full 360 when 'the community' decided to ban bidbots I think whatsup called it 'new steem'.

Anyway, I'm very careful how I vote witnesses, and proposals, simply to avoid supporting any ex-bidbot owners still hanging around on hive. I believe that it was bidbots that destroyed Steem's chance to go mainstream as any serious writers looking at steem at that time would see so much crap content with seemingly $100's or even $thousand+ dollars payouts.

Looking at your posts, and proposal, I can see you also fought 'the good fight' against vote selling. You have my full support, I've just voted for your proposal and the steempress witness as well.

I was actually at SF 3 in Krakow and met Fredrikaa a few times but I can't remember if we met.

All the best, and good luck with getting the proposal funded 🙂👍
