Which has its vote attached to this (clear example among many others): https://steemit.com/ormus/@mattmonarch/new-ormus-pure-white-monatomic-powdered-gold
Who uses the bot power to reward his own stuff: https://steemit.com/steemdev/@therealwolf/new-project-experienced-developer-wanted-for-cto-position
Who has just self voted a comment to get to the top, to prove what?
To prove we maybe don't need another bidbot, but for sure we need better bot maintainers.
We are not going to engage in this discussion. So please do yourself a favour and remove this comment, which only puts shame on you.
You forgot to mention:
I've built Smartsteem.com from scratch - over 9 months ago. What have you done? Copying an open-source bot? Must have been difficult..
I paid for the vote like everyone else.

Thanks for your time.
Sellings flags is a dead business-model; you should have paid attention to what happened to those who tried that as well.

aka leeching off from work of others
themarkymark has been working his ass off to create such a blacklist - you're just taking the credit. Good job!
Except we are not selling flags. I still advise to have a look to the post.
Credits that have the very same value as liquid STEEM / SBD sent directly via transfers, which value is determined by the amount of delegation and number of bidders.
The automated whitelist is custom code which is not implemented in postpromoter, if that is your guess. Still, the advise is to read the post.
The blacklists are not based on themarkymark's only but on the official Steemit blacklist which is a combination of various blacklists on top of allowing to add more via a PR. https://github.com/steemit/redeemer-irredeemables
It is understandable you may not know how that works, considering what @smartsteem is pushing to the trending on a daily basis.
Before attacking an initiative that tries to do better, do better yourself.
Can we invite ALL bidbot owners to a discord channel and let them fight it out? I would attend and bring all the popcorn.
lmao.. 4 real... but it's like wrestling in MMA, it gets boring ;)
As someone who's done some MMA (I miss is so much) - it doesn't get boring. :)
