Tested. It works!
Some ideas:
- The vote came 20 minutes before the payout, although there seems to be a rule that votes are not accepted by the blockchain 12 hours before the post payout.
But it came with a $0.00 vote, maybe because of the reason mentioned above. Do you have a time frame setting for your bot? - Our reputation system is currently broken (thanks to bid-bots), so perhaps a system with the same percentage for all would be even more fair than voting for reputation.
- I would advise using blacklists by BuildAWhale, SteemCleaners, MinnowBooster, Utopian, Actifit, Redeemer to avoid supporting Steem abusers and draining your VP.
- Number of votes/user/day?
Some very good advice! Thank you! We will look into finding blacklists and preventing abuse.
There is no delay in particular, it reacts as fast as it can based on the servers used.
