There are literally dozens of smaller upvote bots. Just use the smaller bots until you can compound the profits and afford the bigger bots.

Agreed, the amount of SP we have caused very long voting cycles with the number of bids we received due to the increased price of STEEM. It was causing our voting windows to take far longer than normal and drian more voting power.

By changing to 2 SBD, we can try to normalize our windows again and prevent this from happening.

yes, you are right, I think $1.5 sbd is a fair amount. sir, please change minimum bid to $1.5 sbd instead of $2 sbd

What he is saying is that having it that low right now is impossible. Too many bids. If too many people bid 1sbd bids, it would 1. it may be too low a percentage of vote to actually vote and 2. it is taking too long to complete the process which wont work. It isnt about be greedy. There are smaller bots too out there that might fit you better. upmyvote is good too. or randwhale.

in the end it is just business ¯_(ツ)_/¯
who can afford shall climb the escalator while other takes the stairs.

There are options for 1 SBD or fewer bids. There are technical reasons why we just cannot do it anymore. I only raise the minimum bid when I absolutely have to.

Yep I understand ! Hopefully I will be earning more to bid with you again :)

@buildawhale @themarkymark Dear sir, please decrease the minimum bid to $1.5 SBD as $2 SBD is very high and the upvote will not be profitable anymore. Please decrease it to $1.5. Thanks

The vote will be profitable, we have over $1,000 upvote.

I understand that, unfortunately, due to the number of bids we receive due to the price of STEEM and the fact we can vote for over $1,000, the 1 SBD was causing out voting cycles to take 5-10 times longer.

There are lots of other bots that handle smaller bids gracefully, but with how much Steem Power we have it just isn't possible to keep a 1 SBD bid minimum.

I am working on a few new bots that work differently.
