RE: MinnowBooster Needs your Vote!
@reggaemuffin this is a bit off-topic, but currently the max daily bid for @minnowbooster is 5 SBD however there are no votes available under around 11 SBD based on the graph on the site, so it's basically unusable :-(
I would happily send 11 SBD or more, but I can't due to the daily limit. Is the service now only going to be able to be used by people who got accepted into the mega bid thing?
Please let me know, I'm a big fan and supporter of the service but it's frustrating that I'm unable to use it.
Big votes are prone to abuse, so we want to be able to guarantee that they are used for good.
I'm sorry that things suck, most of it is the way steem works and us trying 'to do the right thing' as we don't just want to upvote every crap people pay money for.
But that "IS" the steem concept!
Whales vote for whales to benefit whales
And this is killing the platform.
Extraction of value from the platform does NOT contribute to the platform!
Plankton/minnows post 1,2,3,4 times....... earn $0.10 then leave the "circle jerk" doing it's thing... but that will not grow the base from 400K -> 4m or 40m.
Why can't old whales with rose glasses on see this? (or the 50% leaving stats!)
Hey Matt
@minnowbooster is now a private enterprise. This is their method of locking non white-listed accounts out.
As a user of steemvoter, I'm voting here automatically for a service I'm currently excluded from.
Last week I was autovoted for a football game summarised in Spanish.
Not that impressed at present, and am hoping a solution can be found that suits all.
Cheers

I always say in the comments to buildawhale, makeawhale, booster, randowhale etc that the system needs to be changed into a "book" your bid to the voting power for the next available bid..
For example if you wanna make a bid of 11 or more $ then you should be able to by waiting on whenever the bot can assure you the vote.
I am sorry my english is very bad but I think you get the idea...instead of dividing the vote over the bidders, divide the bidders over the vote in a line like the one in the airport check in...imagine if the one that stands at the last position decided to move in first position and pass everybody without even saying sorry...lol
That's why the bot should be upgraded to book all bids with all kind of money, small large doesn't matter, order them in base of time of bid and ultimately tell the bidder that his vote will arrive in 2 hours or 3 or even in a day or even 2 (not exceeding the 7 days ofcourse)
I am not dev but this is ust what I think
In other words the script needs to be inverted!
This would lead to always a full book for 7 days, then 30 days then more. And we then have the same problem, just not immediately, but at 7 days.
Exactly!
yea I thought of it ..booking could last for years XD...boy it is complicated but with your help and with experience an "equilibrium" will be reached... maybe introducing a super team of curating...or making 5 more bots
1 for under 5$ bids
2 for 5<bids<10
3 for 10<bids<20
4 for 20<bids<40
5 for 40<bids<80
@reggaemuffin
I think the best solution for the bid bots is to put a limit on the bids that accepted to prevent bidders going at a lose. But this will also decrease the bots' profit. But at least, you don't have unsatisfied customer.
Put a code or command to the bot not to accept any more bids when the vote values are on 1:1 ratio.
that we already do for a few months :) And people complain that they can't get a vote.
