Can anyone submit a post for an upvote (not just approved runningproject runners)?
Edited: it seems "yes" now that I've looked at your wallet. I've only just understood how it works - a virtuous circle, everyone's a winner!Can you send the url of any post to @isotonic for an upvote (not just running posts)?

I'm here to explore circular models. If you like this app @shanibeer I'd like to help them too, with steem or anything else you advise. Help me to help please? :)
I've been very slow to understand this, but I think it works like this:
and@isotonic is a bid-bot. It's voting power comes from Steemians delegating Steem Power to @isotonic. Anyone can transfer a minimum of .05 SBD to @isotonic to buy a vote for a specific post (you put the url of the post in the memo when you transfer the SBD); @isotonic has a regular stream of SBD coming in from people buying votes; 90% of this is used to pay a dividend or Return On Investment to the Steemians who have delegated SP; the remaining 10% is transferred to @runningproject to build its voting power. So everyone wins. For you, for example - you may not be a runner, so you have no interest in the @runningproject community; and you may not have very much SP to delegate, but you could still support the community initiative by buying a vote from @isotonic. You win because you get a vote which is worth more than you paid, so your overall wealth is increased; your small payment provides a return to the investors who have delegated steem power helps to raise funds for and grow @runningproject. It's very, very clever!
Quite apart from votes, I've had tremendous value from @runningproject because I joined the 12 week 5k training programme. This had two levels: beginners (me) and intermediate/returners with a weekly programme written and supported by @cstrimel - a fabulous coach. This was free (apart from the enrolment fee = 1SBD), I had feedback and could ask for advice, and I've had lots of support from other @runningproject members. It's a model that could be used for many other community initiatives. Have a look in @isotonic's wallet; and enter "isotonic" at steemworld.org to get a better understanding about how it works.
and you get a warm fuzzy feeling because you're also supporting a community initiative.This particular post is about attracting more Steemians who might want to delegate SP to @isotonic (even though they may have no interest in running) - there's a return for delegating
Does that make sense? Hope so 😎
The majority of the other bots, don't do that, they use the earnings to pay delegators and the owner of the bot.
Here the owner of the bot is not receiving any income but the one resulting of his own delegation.
Hope is clear.Of course @shanibeer ! Anyone can use the service! The onlything different from other bid-based bots is that part of the earnings of the bot, exactly 10% , is going to @runningproject in order to increase its SP! That's why @runningproject has more and more SP with the time. We are just trying to inform the people about this option. If people think they can delegate some SP to a bid-based bot and so, earn passive incomes they should know that there is a bot that dedicate part of the earnings for funding a good initiative as ours.
