RE: The @blocktrades World Cup | My selections
Yeah the ROI is likely the best of any Bot at the moment.
Yes I was on the league top 10 / 5 two weeks in a row but I removed myself from the curation league due to the fact I was going to slow down my activity on the site. I stopped self-voting while I was participating as it hurts your score.
Not self upvoting and winning the zero upvote reward gives you a better ROI. No self voting also gives you a better chance at winning one of the top prizes in the league. So if you are engaging allot and trying for a top prize then self-voting would be a bad Idea.
Why remove yourself from the list? Even if you are less active you could just stay in the league?
Only your name will be somewhere in the middle or lowest region. But that's where I'm actually each and every week 😂
I tweak my strategies on here quit a bit to see what best suits me. I now plan on self voting allot more then I normally do to test a new theory. No need in bringing attention to myself with being the top self-voter listed on the league.
That is indeed totally true. What is your self voting theory? That you will receive part of the curation fee yourself? And especially when using bids bots and receiving high upvote values that could become a material amount of curation fee that are confiscated by yourself.
If I am using a bot on a comment no-one else is voting on then some curation rewards goes to the bot even though there are no other upvotes after or before the bot upvotes.
I am thinking if I upvote my comment before sending the bot I can take some of that curation reward that the bot would other-wise get. If the curation reward was going to legit upvoters then I wouldn't attempt the strategy.
I am about 100% certain that this strategy works. However I don't know how big the impact is.
About the impact I can only guess. Let's assume your upvote value is $0.05 and the upvote value from the bot is $1.25. Then the bots upvote value is 25 times bigger as yours. That makes me guess that only a very limited part of the curation fee goes to yourself instead of to the bot.
You may be right and your point is something I thought about before attempting this but there is only one way to find out and that is to put it in practice.
A few weeks ago I actually did the same. But I didn't even try to measure the impact. How will you measure the result?
I basically didn't have any idea how to measure. So I just assumed that it would make me richer. Until the moment Asher said that the zero upvoting reward is having a higher value then I would ever get from self voting. And without having a calculation to check that, Asher arms to have a fair point.
Yes the zero upvote reward is higher then you or I would get for self upvoting. I am not apart of the league anymore so that does not apply to me. Plus it's not gntd you win the award.
I don't plan on getting an exact number but how I plan on determining the results is by looking at the difference between the self voted comments that I sent a bot to and none self voting comments that I sent a bot to by comparing the curation rewards the bot gets in each one.
