Due to the massive amount of steem power (971,000) we need to raise the minimum bid from 0.500 SBD to 1 SBD. Smaller bids are starting to get lost inside of the $90+ upvote.
I tried to hold off on doing this, to allow all side Steemians to use the service, but 0.500 SBD is too small of a bid for how much steem power we have. We are considering growing another 1 million steem power, and that may require another adjustment to the minimum bid.
I am updating the profile to reflect the new change and current window will go through with existing bids, by tomorrow morning it will be a hard lock at 1 SBD. Anything lower than our minimum bid will be considered a donation.
Sorry if this makes the service unaffordable to anyone, we just have too much steem power now to keep it this low. I held off doing this as long as I could.
Thank you for your understanding.

As Others have stated I did not see that the minimum bid was raised, can I get a refund of 0.858?
Sending a refund for 0.858 SBD
I HAVE A CLAIM
I SENT 0.5 X 3 TIMES YESTERDAY TO THE BOT AND 0.66 YESTERDAY TO THE BOT AND TILL NOW I DID NOT GET THE UPVOTING NOR THE FUND BACK.
YOU MUST HAVE IN YOUR BOT A SYSTEM TO RETURN BACK THE SEND IF IT IS LESS THAN THE FEE.
YOU ARE KINLDY REQUESTED TO RETURN BACK MY 2.16 SBD AT ONCE
ATTACHED HERE THE PICTURE OF MY SEND
YOU MUST MAKE BETTER BOT AND BETTER ADVERTISING TO INFORM YOUR CLIENTS ABOUT YOUR UPGRADES.
YOU ARE KINDLY REQUESTED TO RETURN BACK MY 2.16 SBD AT ONCE
I would have returned it without all the caps and shouting. All you had to do was ask. You also don't have to post a comment in every post we make.
I sent you a refund for your 2.16 SBD at once!
thank you
sorry for the large caps as i was very angry and upset but i know that you will return them but i am in bad defect mood
once more i minimized my claims to 2 comments, i am again thankful and sorry for my wrong approach
CAPSLOCK!
lol
I have sent you 0.50 SBD, vote for me.
We did, but keep in mind it can take up to 2 hours and 40 minutes for the bidding window to close before we start voting.
Niceee
It makes sense. 1sbd is reasonable and the benefits are well worth it.
Im on it like Sonic!
runnig con @buildawhale
What?
Now steem is down. So we can't upvote our post maximum.
What do you mean? Changing our minimum bid won't affect that. We still have a $90+ upvote.
gotcha!
Does everyone who bids get an upvote (even if that upvote is at 1%)? I'm guessing higher bidders get higher % of the vote?
Everyone who meets the minimum bid gets an upvote, the size of the upvote is directly related to your bid compared to the combined total of all the bids.
Ok Cool. That makes sense. Thanks.
Oh, one more question, when I send SBD, do I need to write something specific in the Memo? Thx.
Yes, you need to put the URL of your post.
Ok, gotchya. Thank you so much for the info :)
How to bid? @buildawhale
https://steemit.com/buildawhale/@buildawhale/how-do-you-use-buildawhale
This guide will help, just keep in mind the minimum bid is now 1 SBD (Not STEEM).
I already did sent 2sbd
I have resteem your post@buildawhale.
Thanks!
I think it's fine regarding the minimum bid but maybe the donation part is not cool for your users.
Some people might miss your post and still using your service without even checking your page (like I do some times)
Maybe for a certain time, you should just refund the users as minnowbooster do when we send the wrong amount.
Thank you otherwise for the great service. You are one of the reliable bot here =)
Whatever you do, I assume is it all to help our development. Thank you for everything. Hopefully the better for the future. I want to be successful with you @buidawhale

STOP$1 SBD guys, super job, you are my new go to boost / peace
I just sent a link and normally bid under $1.00 SBD but today I decided to try a little more and did Transfer 1.416 SBD to @buildawhale for my post https://steemit.com/challenge/@isteemithard/steemit-challenges-contests-not-sure-what-to-post-take-a-look I didn't even see this post until after so I guess luck is on my side
:)
I did not want to raise the minimum, but due to how the STEEM blockchain works I had to so smaller bids did not get ignored.
I didn't know the minimum bid has now been changed to 1 SBD. I sent 0.5 SBD for my post, https://steemit.com/story/@hmushtaq/a-very-thought-provoking-story. Obviously didn't get a vote. So, would you please refund me?
Sent refund for 0.500 SBD.
Awesome. Thanks!
Can you refund that as well?Hi @buildawhale, even I wasn't aware that the minimum SBD amount raised to 1. I sent a transfer of 0.5 SBD around 6 hours back for my post https://steemit.com/giveaway/@coolguy123/sbd-giveaway-on-reaching-reputation-level-of-50-20171023t221911310z
Sent refund for 0.500 SBD.
Hey there @buildawhale !
I was wondering why i did not receive any upvote on my post that I sent you around 3 hours ago with 2sbd.
https://steemit.com/steemit/@xtetrahedron/why-i-am-powering-down-my-account-for-1-week-20171023t174030838z
At the time I sent the post it had 19 hours left until payout, is there any rules about posts age that I have missed?
(I know for randowhale its 12 hours for example)
Thanks in advance for clarification.

Hi there, I recently sent a bid for 3SBD for the following link
https://steemit.com/steemiteducation/@alvinauh/tobby-s-first-swimming-lesson-a-steemhomewok-story
I'm still yet to receive an upvote. Do you mind checking? Thanks
I will send you a refund in a few (without power right now) but the reason it wasn’t voted on was the post was too old. We cannot vote on anything older than 6 days 8 hours.
I see, my apologies. It's alright, if you won't mind, can you upvote this post instead?
https://steemit.com/hobbyhub/@alvinauh/home-barista-my-daily-hobby
Refund for 3 sbd being sent. Sorry for delay. Still without power in 80% of our town.
No worries, I understand, you guys are doing a great job by the way
I have seen @buildawhale upvote some adult steemit content, is this is ok for me too? thanks x
Yes
What is the maximum amount you can send as a bid and still receive more as an upvote?
Really depends on other bidders. I’ve seen 50 SBD but I wouldn’t recommend it. I would say 1-20 SBD but 30 isn’t uncommon. Each bidding window is different.
Is it too late to ask for a refund? I sent you .51 SBD yesterday without realizing there was a change in your policy. I'll gladly resubmit for 1 SBD.
Yes, but I got you.
Sent refund for 0.510 SBD.
Thank you!
@buildawhale unfortunately my reputation down from 41 to 7 for my mistake.If i want to increase it to 10+ how much i have to send sbd to you for upvote on my post.please reply.i am so much tensed.
That is not something we can help you with.
Common causes of massive drop in rep are:
You would need to resolve these issues and build your rep back up the hard way but earning trust back.
After i commenting here @reneenouveau this guy downvoted my all posts.Why she is doing this? i am new here.For one mistakes why you doing this? please tell me something
