RE: Bot improvements almost complete + increasing vote worth

in #steemit7 years ago

Is your bot working fine now ?

If i get an upvote from you before 15 minutes of posting , i wont lose 25% on curation rewards . Am i right ?

Hello, my bot has been working fine and is continuing to do so. There's a few missed transactions due to RPC node failure but everything is working as intended.
My bot updates which RPC node it's connected to once every minute, so if an RPC node goes down the maximum downtime is 1 minute.

I'm not sure exactly how you're trying to "game the system" but I don't think it'd work.
If you're referring to having my upvote your post in the first 30 minutes, the only thing that happens is that the curation reward that I receive is penalised and you receive it instead.

Please see the following articles for explanation:

I am not trying to game the system . I don't think any bot deserves curation reward as bots can't curate . Curation requires analyzing the post and it takes time . A bot already gets paid by the user in sbd .
That's just my view mate . Nothing against any bots .

No worries, I agree with you there. When I get curation rewards I kind of just consider it a "tip" more than anything.
I start accepting upvotes at 95-98% voting power, sometimes it's a little slow to detect. It'll keep running until I hit 70% voting power at which point it goes back to refunding.

Thank you for both articles .

So can i use your bot instantly after posting my article ? At what voting power does your bot start voting ?
