Thanks for sharing. I use Steemd as well, from time to time, but never look at bandwidth. Not sure what bandwidth does; I suppose one needs to have bandwidth to be able to do something on the Steem blockchain, but I think I never had the issue of to little bandwidth. You know how bandwidth is calculated and what does it actually tells us?

Steembotracker: I suppose a very good tool when one likes to pay for a vote. I rarely pay for a vote, therefore not using that tool. But indeed, the tool is very useful to identify what bot is good to use to make the most out of a paid vote.

Oh no I use Steembotracker for my delegation not paying for votes! You know I don't do that. If you click on tools and delegation manager you have a great overhead of your delegation. I was going to use Vessel Wallet but I cant open it offline.

Oww cool, didn't know steembottracker had the delegation part build in. I don't delegate SP, so therefore never looked into steem bot tracker to much.

I like delegation Steem Power because you get a daily kick back and also I like the function at @minnowbooster where you can lease your steem power to other accounts and make some cash back. I am a small account but depending on the course of steem and steem dollar I make around 35 US Dollar a month at a course around 3.50 US Dollar per Steem/SD. It always changes but Imagine SD goes up to 30 or 300 than is this a nice monthly income. Especially if you travel around the world.

Sure, I do understand delegation of SP brings in good money. I don't do this, since it supports more vote bots to emerge and stay in the market.

I can dont need to delegate only to bots I also delegate to @DSound to give them more voting power. I accidentaly powered down a few days ago but in a week its all back. You can also delegate to other users with a higher interest as kick back. Or you can delegate to utopian, SteemTeam what helps them as well

Yes indeed, delegation can be done to any Steemian, and you certainly mentioned some of the projects using VP in a way to reward good content. Those services are much less profitable then delegating to vote bots, since eg Utopian doesn't take money for a vote. Without going into details, Utopian earning on VP are curation rewards, and these are generally relatively low due to when and how they vote. Same counts for the other services you mentioned, they earn curation rewards, they dont take money for their vote. Therefore any service earning curation rewards, can only share a part of that curation rewards with all there delegates. I cant imagine this will bring in more money to the delegator than for instance a good setup of auto voting by those who delegate VP to these services. On the other hand, services earning money in exchange for their vote, these services earn soooooo much more money than they earn on curation rewards, most of which they can share with their delegators, therefore bringing more money to delegators then they could ever earn on curation rewards, even when front running lets say a couple of 10s of $ votes. I have some experience with that, even when getting some big fish vote after I cast my own vote, I rarely get more than 50% of my vote value as curation rewards.

Yes I did run out of Bandwidth in the beginning because each action on Steemit takes a little bit. Steemd is also great to review all the actions that happens on my account or other accounts.

For detailed view by my own or other users accounts, I also use steemd; that one seems to be the most useful for any of the details.
