I sent a transfer yesterday that might have been when you were shutting down? It may have been in limbo somewhere, anyways it was a Colorchallenge - Sunday Purple title. Check it out if you have the time, no problem if your not able to get to it.

I'll give you a vote on this comment to make up for it. Apologies.

It seems same thing happened with me because i sent 2 hrs ago 1sbd but waiting for voting or refund. Generally not happens with Randowhale this type of issue but today happened. Transfer is showing from my wallet and randowhale wallet too. My memo was: https://steemit.com/photography/@face2face/ganges-of-pigeon-pur-never-leave-single-grain-habit-actually-20171015t1538870z

@randowhale, can you vote for the comments?

Yesterday I sent you 0.5 SBD for this
Hey! Checkout blog post on eSteem!
esteem://satire/@pele23/janet-yellen-quits-the-fed-and-joins-the-ny-times
But I already used your services for that post, my funds were not returned...
Can you help with this issue please...

@randowhale, I think random sleeping and awaking is not convenient for most users. How about opening few hours in the morning and afternoon with specific hours. Sleep most of night (How about sleep 8-10 hours in specific time to recover 3-4% vote would be better.). Though it will not mostly profitable for @randowhale but it will offer users time to use it conveniently. This algorithm sleep after VP drops to 98.4% will make very random and short, inconvenient.

That wouldn't be very rando would it?

i sent you this by mistake cause you was already voted up it can you please give the 0.5 SBD back

----Receive 0.500 SBD from omar-hesham https://steemit.com/promo-steem/@omar-hesham/make-over-for-steemit-arabia-page-on-facebook-2017916t17228233z---

This is not refundable, please check your transfers carefully. I have voted your comment on that post this time only.

thanks indeed i will take good care next time sorry for disturbing . :-)

Hi, @randowhale.

I have noticed that you are not giving random votes anymore! Most of your votes are 1.51% votes. What is the matter?!

They are still random. 1.51% is just the most common.

How random is the algorithm @randowhale?

Specifically, what's the minimum possible % upvote and maximum, and more importantly what's the distribution? Is the probability of getting a smaller upvote the same as getting a bigger one?

I'm feeling like the percentage upvotes have drastically reduced recently... you can see on Steemd that upvotes of pretty low percents are much more common

Yes, exactly my thoughts.

I am guessing the % is correlated to the voting power. This is unfortunate. @randowhale was the best service.

Hey @randowhale, sent you 2.5 SBDS to upvote 5 different posts and you've only upvoted 2 but haven't returned the other 1.5 SBDs. Are you still upvoting? Or should I expect refunds for those 3? Thanks bud

Hi Rando,

sent you 3x .500 SBD this morning - you remitted only 1

Thanks

I've been getting about half of mine upvoted as well. Maybe less... Might have to think hard about sending more to @randowhale because I'm feeling gipped ATM.

I think implementing this new system of notifications isn't working - My wife's getting annoyed b/c I get a steem whistle blast only to tell me he's going off line. Rando has been good - it's just this new system has him swamped

Yeah I got rid of the chrome extension. I won't be wasting any more SBD in @randowhale... He peaked and now is on a down trend IMHO.

Oh, i'm so tired...

love you
love you
love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am only getting votes of 1.5% wich is not very profitable. Is it such rare to get higher %? that gives me 63 cents for sending 50 cents... Damn, randowhale time will only be interesting again when steemprice rise.

What the hell. Just keep sleeping. Why you got it active for few minutes only.

Your so WOKE dude!

I haven't used your service as yet and am relatively new to steem. I wonder if you could add a link on each of your posts to your latest post about how to use your service? this would greatly help the uninitiated. At the moment I can't find the instructions. I imagine it is just sending 0.5 SBD to @randowhale and including the post I want an upvote on in the memo but I'm not certain. Cheers!

Yes, thank you for the suggestion. We will get a new post put together and start including a footer with links on our posts.

Basically all you need to do is send .500 SBD to @randowhale with the link to the post you want voted on as the memo, when @randowhale is awake. If you're interested in browser notifications, you can install the RandoAwake Chrome browser: bit.ly/randoawake

Great - thanks for that!

With this change, is it like it will wake up after charging 100 % ? Because earlier, you were waking up at 94%. But that did not happen Yesterday. I even posted a blog on this, but did not get any reply.

https://steemit.com/randowhale/@sanjeevm/rando-is-not-waking-up-today-what-happenned

Right now it' will go down to ~98.5% and recharge to 100% before waking. This may change at any time while we test out different scenarios.

what I mostly see with your upvoting, is...that your vote has not really much more value as what you charge for it. At least that was happening in my cases

Well if it isn't costing you then it's a plus, right? And while I understand what you're feeling, it is "random" and as such changes.

Sometimes you get a better value. Last night I got my first big random upvote, 30.5% at almost 100%. If something like that happens once every 20 times you're still making money on posts.

Reckon I'll stick with ole' RW.

haha, 100% vote? Good for you. I mostly get what I pay, or maybe little bit more. But than again, many times the price of steem fell in those 7 days, so I got even less... I think I really have to analyse his VP before sending sbd

No, 30.5%.....at almost 100% power. I WISH I had gotten a 100% upvote. LOL

The new setup I believe they're doing is that he "wakes up" at 100% and goes to sleep around 98%. If so, this keeps the voting percentage up.

Rando now all profits are tending to zero. For my last 4 posts: +0.16, -0.02, -0.02, -0.005

There's not much that can be done about the declining price of Steem. If you're not finding value, I encourage you to wait until a time you do.

Agreed..... Rando will you be awake from 100% down to 98 % from now on ?

Right now it' will go down to ~98.5% and recharge to 100% before waking. This may change at any time while we test out different scenarios.

Why not change the lowest to around 90%ish so people get the max out of your vote. Seems your having alot of up time below 90%. Is this because people aren't using the service as much? With the new account will this matter or are people getting a fixed rate based over the accounts. So you would not need to worry at what your % is? Just sayin because i use your services alot and only around when your first wake up.

Thanks for the heads up, more chance for Rando to get paid for post updates than comments we have to wade through for answers. Why no randoawake mobile app?

Ok thanks ....

It'll average out too. I had 4. lost a little on three but got a 4% that left me a net 1SBD up for the night.

That's what makes it Rando!

Come-on wake up dear.
Whales are not allowed to sleep that longer.😁

Hi @randowhale. I've just submitted a post to you but with my stupid head I didn't check if you already voted on it. I never this something quite this stupid before and I know the rules of course. Is it possible to get a refund? (I know it goes against your policy though)

The post in regard is this one and i've send a payment 28 minutes ago as of writing:
https://steemit.com/photography/@rkrijgsman/my-photography-the-euromast-rotterdam

Voted your most recent post

Thanks! Won't make this mistake again ;)

Good news, hope that novation will increase payout too :)

I tried randowhale1 and it didnt work so I tried randowhale0 and again didn't work.

I am not sure why are you doing that. Your first send was correct to @randowhale. Read the 2nd sentence of this post.

Who knew whales slept so much?!?

Pls how much is the minimum SBD I can send to @randowhale for an upvote on my post?

You need to send exactly 0.5 SBD, no more, no less, with your post URL as the memo.

This amount has changed before but @randowhale posts an update when it does.

Must be exactly .500 SBD or Steem.

Hello congratulations you have an excellent service, could you think about make a queue for upvotes for example you know how many customers have online per day they can paid the SBD and rando make the upvotes in 1 or 2 day or make refund. It make more fair this for example today I was waiting for you but only was to eat and rand wake up and quickly sleept

He's added a third upvote account so it should be up much more often. An upvote queue would have a possibility of inducing a lot of unneeded transactions on the blockchain. Not to mention a nightmare for @randowhale because of all the posts that get a bid just before they hit their final 12 hours before payout(no upvotes allowed).

At this point @randowhale should be awake within every 2 hour time span.

Mostly 1.5 % on my posts lately.... so about .64 cents for .50 cents. I guess that's still very good ... 28 % return on my investment but I notice some others getting 5% upvote 2 or 3 times in a row . Am I doing something wrong? Doesn't seem random.

you spend 0.5$ and got 0.64$ = look like your profit 0.14$ (28%) but really you lost 0.02$ +
because total 0.64$ = randowhale get 25% = 0.16$ , you get 75%= 0.48$ so you lost 0.02$
finally if steem prices gone down 5% your reward amount 0.64$ go to down 5%

another thing you got 0.48$ 0.24$ sbd and 0.24$ valuable steem
you need wait 13 weeks for get 0.24% valuable steem to convert for transaction

but randowhale get instant = 0.50$ after payout instant 0.08$ waiting 0.08$ (steem )
total randowhale get 0.66$ for 0.64 vote profit 0.02$ so you lost 0.02$ and randowhale get 0.02$ profit

All bots are doing same null/ promote bot is no 01 Cheater.

This is my opinions and it's the real

Not sure I understand .... I will wait and see what my pay out is in 7 days from these upvotes before I can see how I did. All I know is that I do not ever make 28% return on any other investment in one day ever.

Amen :D

haha, the chrome extension makes sounds :O

Yes it does! If they get too annoying for you, you can always disable them in the options.

No, I love it...it made me smile :)

HEY! Could you keep it DOWN a little? I've got "Enable Sounds" de-selected, but the SOUND still wakes ME up every time YOU do!
But THANKS!

You can disable the sounds in the options.

This is how I have the options set - it still wakes me up whenever YOU wake up!

Can you look in your extensions and tell me which version you're on?

v 1.0.3 - just realized I've got two different browsers I'm using it in. I'll turn off sound in BOTH and see if that doesn't fix it.

I'm sure that fixed - I haven't heard a peep out of you since!
Now we can BOTH sleep! Thanks again!
