And do you think it works? Does it attract new users?
In financial terms the new users won't really help you. As most of them only have very little SP. So I'm still not sure if I understand your purpose?
My purpose is to find someone to delegate me some SP. That enables me to see if I'm able to get the same high curation rewards as I do now.
To the site in general? It's possible when handed something like this versus just being told 'go read the faq' or the white paper or whatever. Does it attract me personally more followers...yes.
My purpose is to help other users...new or not. For me using the bots isn't financial...they are solely a means to get the material into people's hands. I don't really care how much SP a person has. Whether or not using bots in general are financially beneficial...they can be. But there are multiple factors that prevent it from ever really being a 'sure thing.' (like steem price going down after paying for votes, getting flagged, etc).
Unfortunately, I'm already at the max of what I'm personally wanting to delegate. Though getting more SP does help increase potential curation rewards...no doubt there.
Oh, interesting. I'll be trying to get more SP then, since I'm not getting curation rewards right now.
Oké now I fully understand your intentions and goals.
About my curation rewards I'm not sure if it's fully clear what I meant. At this moment I can earn 1% per week of my SP. So that's 0.150 SP in absolute terms. If I would have the same amount of SP as you my curation rewards could be close to 100 SP per week. While you now earn 0.5 SP.
So I basically want to test if this 1% remains steady or that it will be impacted by having a higher SP?
Ah...I would expect that you'd in general see that % go up at least somewhat.
My current curation rewards (shown on the rewards page) aren't really a good gauge right now since it's only giving 2 days of voting...I've had some Steemit breaks recently where I wasn't doing any voting.
Last I'd looked when putting out all my votes over the course of week was around 10-11 SP from curation rewards for me..just to give you some idea.
That sounds logical. As I found your current curation rewards very low.
If you go offline for some days you could use auto voting. Did you know that?
Yea...I've though about the auto voting. There are definitely some benefits, especially when I'm away and not voting for some days.
In the end though...I've preferred to stay manual up to this point, even if I do lose some potential earnings from it. (By no means telling others to do this...merely my own preference.) I get that extra 'joy' by clicking the button myself. :)
