@randowhale is slowly recharging!

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Hopefully you are noticing that the voting power of @randowhale has been increasing which should be resulting in larger and larger votes over time until voting power has been fully recharged, as expected. Over the next couple weeks @randowhale will be keeping an eye on use/voting power to see how the market is reacting. Please enjoy @randowhale responsibly, don't drink and rando.

For those asking about why the rewards have been decreasing, even though the vote strength of @randowhale has been increasing, here is your answer: The amount allocated to the reward pool has been decreasing, ~30% already. This raw data can be found at https://steemdb.com/api/funds if you'd like to check it out for yourself.

Here's how it works:

  • Ensure the post you want to vote on has not paid out or is not within 12 hours of payout
  • Copy the URL of the post you want @randowhale to vote on
  • Navigate to your Wallet
  • Select Transfer under Steem or Steem Dollars
  • Populate To field with "randowhale"
  • Populate Amount field with "2" (Steem or SBD)
  • Paste URL into Memo field
  • Submit

@randowhale or @randowhale1 will now place a vote with a random vote power of 0.50%-2.5% on your post!

  • Yes, there is now an additional account voting (only voting!) so you may see a vote from either account.
  • This change in voting power will result in comparable rewards to the previous settings.

Notes:

  • Only send to @randowhale. Do NOT send to @randowhale1, this account is used only for voting purposes.
  • Do not submit posts in their last 12 hours before payout - they cannot receive upvotes.
  • There are no refunds, period. If you send the incorrect amount or to @randowhale 1 (DO NOT SEND TO THIS ACCOUNT), consider it a donation.
  • Each post may be voted on only once! Please verify @randowhale has not already voted on the post before submitting.
  • Again, no refunds.

Hey @randowhale!

I know you are a very busy sea creature, but I wanted to tell you that I made an upgrade of the design of your project and I'm giving you the rights to use it.

Please consider dropping me a line there so I can make sure you saw it =)

I'll leave a preview of the animation I also made so you can check it!

Have a nice day !

Holy crap that's awesome haha :)

still hesitating to try it though....loool

Nice image. Great work.

How long did it took you to make this? It looks epic!

It took me about 3 to 4 hours from scratch with animation included @thedevilape =)

Damn... Good job dude.

You mean you are now also running another project like @randowhale? What is its name and how does it work?

Not at all... I'm just a concept designer artist and illustrator. My skills have limitations :P

Ooohk but your progress shows that your concepts work. Following you now

Recently, I am not using the randowhale upvoting power because it become less and less earning, please make an adjustment. It doesn't seem to earn from it.

Hi first time I ever got a delay.. just sent payment and use the service all the time?

I am having the same issue. Paid a few minutes ago and no vote, and I use it all the time.

obviously service is down..

Obviously you just read the header of the post and not the content, because no where on the post does it say it is down. He is recharging and getting back to normal but service not down nor does it say that any where.

well he took the money and it didn't work? So now what!

I am sure an explanation will surface, its a couple of bucks. Not losing sleep over it.

no no it's more about confidence! We won't use the service anymore if it no longer functions. It's ok to loose 2 SBD, but I sure as hell won't lose 4 SBD lol!

How much upvote does your 2% give? You should give at least 5% but I guess that would drain your voting power too fast. Anyways it's a great project on Steemit. Hope you continue to run it after the price rise and more members.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

👍🏼👍🏼

I am really enjoyed your work here but I noticed since last few days that your power is decreased and therefore people get less amount then they give you for vote. As we all know it happen due to some moment in crypto market. I just did calculation too and i found that if i use your vote power by giving 2 SBD then its may chance to get less amount so i will waiting for your power come up and then use it.i wish your power come on high level soon.

I just added a chart to the thread above explaining your observation. Check it out.

Make it to 1-5% ;)

Charge that laser!

Today i got very less upvote power and the amount was also very little from a few days @randowhale please recharge to full voting power and then vote for other this way the users will also get some benefit as well, hope you will care for the users who are buying your vote as well thanks and looking forward...

Will Someone please help me understand how to know if a link i send to randowhale is good or bad.
I just copied this link
https://steemit.com/portraitcontest/@live2love/portraitcontest
From the browser bar ( is that how everyone else copies links?)
and sent it to mr. Randowhale in the memo. Nothing happened. This happened one other time and rando said i sent a bad link. Meanwhile i tried the link and it does work.....so maybe some clarification on what a good link for randowhale must be? @randowhale

Please try it.
I've tried it and it's true. :)

@randowhale, do you have any preference for steem or sbd? Does previous upvotes before your vote affect your vote % or is it completely random?
In your opinion is Steemit as a community and Steem price better served by converting my sbd to steem before spinning the @randowhale wheel?

keep upvoting ...dont even know how you work and benefits

Great! :)

have you tried his services already and how are they?

Yes I have. It's a gamble. But it's great.

following you now. Guess I have to try it too

Pretty cool, might give this a try

Thanks for the balance of maintaining the Voting Power and helping us steemians! You rock !

great:))

OK Rando!

Snap!!! I neglected to verify @randowhale did not already upvote the post I submitted (oh well, perhaps my 2 SBD I sent will be enough for randowhale to buy a beer - at this point it just became a donation, and I am fine with that considering the mistake was all on me).
Don't forget to verify your submitted post has not already been upvoted, learn from my mistake.

@randowhale upvotes are not profitable for me anymore.

For example, I just sent 2 SBD for an upvote, 1 SBD is currently worth $1.7 so 2x SBD = $3.7

I received a 1.7% upvote (above average) which boosted my post with $3.34, I'll be receiving 75% of that so I'll be getting $2.505

So I basically lost $0.83 after receiving a 1.7% upvote. I didn't even break even!!

So no more @randowhale upvotes for me till the rate is reduced or upvote % is increased.

Thanks.

not counting your initial reward decay over time and its even less by payday.

Yes, exactly.

randowhale itself is good. on average it does give a bit more than you send. But flaw in current reward system, pulls some your rewards and gives to trending post, and you and losing. most people don't realize that. no more randowhale for me either for now

I just added a chart to the thread above explaining your observation. Check it out.

I don't think it is once forever. @randowhale will still vote your subsequent posts if you post. I stand to be corrected.

Yup... That's what I was saying yesterday too.I received a 0,6% upvote. So paying 2SBD I received 1,79SBD. Counting that only 75% of that goes to the author of the post it is a loss.

I think you mean $1.79 not 1.79 SBD

Thanks for this project. I'm grateful for ya @randowhale!

Gonna do this. @randowhale here I come

This is a really great initiative! As a new user, I'm happy to see things like this happening. It's good to know that there are supportive things out there like this happening and I think the ultimate effect will be to help keep people engaged and ultimately help our whole community grow and thrive!

Why reduce it to 2.5% tops? These days I'm getting less than $2. Have a great nap!

Good to hear, hope you get your strength back. The returns were getting a little low.

I just added a chart to the thread above explaining your observation. Check it out.

Thanks. Is that the overall rewards pool across the entirety of Steemit? Might explain why all my posts have gone down

may the force be with you..lol

Sorry, @rondowhale! I might have been drinking when I used your services yesterday! I will be better.

hahaha...but how did they go

Much well, my post was a bit of a puke! Lots a love though!

following you now to learn a lot from you. Did you get more than 2SBD in return?

Awesome, yeah I called you too! You Had Me At 'Peace'

Yes, I think you get a little more in return, but I know @randowhale needs to play with the voting power %, so it varies a bit!

guess I gotta try him and see how the outcome will be

I love it! Show me some love! We could use a little experimenting on the new system. Cheers!

#follow4follow

Whether the vote I get is 2 dollars or 6. Atleast this whale can give me some love lifting me up in this ocean filled with minnows.

Have you ever used his services and how were they?

Yup, it won't always give more than you pay for it, but it helps getting your post some more value giving it a bit more notice.

ooh I see that its really a gamble. I guess I gotta try it though

That seems like a very good idea but I would want to know how often you will be voting up the posts after the person has paid out. Do you add him/her to the follow-up lists on his following posts or the person has to keep subscribing for every post?

No. Each submission is for a single vote on a single post.

And is there a guarantee that you will get more than the amount you invest after the whalevote from @randowhale

lol

There are no guarantees in life, other than death.

hahahaha.....heard you

and taxes! :D

Hey @randowhale, I'm agreeing with a few of the people on this post and beyond. I think the voting percentage is too small.

Why not 5-10% or even higher?

I'm not even using it for myself anymore, as it's not worth it, but I would like to boost a few newbies and undervalued content creators...

What do you reckon?

Cg

nice post @randowhale
good luck :)

Awaiting the return of the whale @randowhale
With full power.. 😃

@randowhale, i am loving it now, i have done with 3 posts, although it was only 4 dollar profit, but hope i get more from you thanks

Is that reward chart in USD or in Steem, because if it is in USD, the decrease is because of the lower Steem price, if the decrease is in Steem then we should be worrying.

Hi randowhale , If you could take a look at my blog I would be glad . thanks.

Love the new graphic! Still intimidated by the process you describe and realize i'm still stumbling around on this site... week no.2 should get easier.

Use responsible - don't drink and rando! Exactly!
Love the service and used it trice and will continue to do so to bump up quality posts.

I am new to this. I was using randowhale but only getting a .5% upvote and by the end my money was lost. So I am holding off and waiting.

I think the reward pool descreases as a result of the decreased value of Steem, correct? I have noticed several well known characters on Steemit Powering down and selling pretty large amounts on the market, which may be contributing to the overall situation. It's kind of annoying that they continue to get massive votes on Steemit - it means that people are voting for their own earnings to decrease. Strange world!

Hey @randowhale, I love your services. Keep up the quality community building and support.

Not sure how long @randowhale votes take, usually they are instant, but I just sent 2SBD and it's been almost 10 minutes and no vote from either of your whales and I checked my wallet and your wallet and made sure the payment went through with correct url link in the memo. Thanks in advance

@randowhale was supposed to vote on https://steemit.com/funny/@gre3n/gre3n-pixel-art-smokin-contest-included-details-inside

It never did, not sure why, it had voting power at the time and Ive done this b4. I guess I lose my 2 sbd . Bummer.

@randowhale
Hello! I sent payments and links about an hour and a half ago. I haven't received the upvotes yet.

One of them is a bit more sensitive on time than the other.

Hey @randowhale! I didn't get the vote I paid for on this post. Fix if you can please. Thanks!
