Hey there,
@reggaemuffin here speaking for @minnowbooster with our third update post.
If you missed our intro, read it here:
(Be wary that some details changed since then and it is only an overview)
https://steemit.com/minnowbooster/@minnowbooster/introducing-minnowbooster-beta
There are some weird inconsistencies with what the steemit.com UI shows and what our calculations give for upvote payouts. It looks like vote values are rounded up to whole percent values.
For example here: https://steemd.com/steemit/@brazilfootball/20170710112505#@aboutall/20170712612900
Upvotes are 0.05% but are worth as much as a 1% upvote. We are currently investigating and therefor have to raise minimum sends drastically to 0.5SBD to ensure the system won't get abused.
We will now also round down to whole percent values on votes, that means up to 17 cent of loss. We are sorry to have to do this and will investigate the issue.
We are happy to hear your feedback on where to improve. Leave a comment below and join our discord server and we will listen.
We will try to make these updates a regular thing to keep you posted on the latest happenings for @minnowbooster. If you have something we should cover in the next update, tell us.
And last but not least we now have a cute little footer made by the most epic @ryivhnn! Yes, there are cute little minnows floating around!
Minnowbooster is a @buildteam project by @thecryptodrive @cryptomancer and @reggaemuffin
Hy, if i delegate Steem Power to bot what reward i have????/
I tried the upvote service. MinnowBooster was at about 39% vote power at the time I used it. I spent 2 SBD (about 1.96 USD right now) and got a author payout return of 75% x 2.42 = 7% loss. That is assuming no payout fade, so at 39% voting power this is a slight loss. Any idea what the break even voting power is so I can watch for that before using it?
Probably around 45% to 50% :)
Thanks!
Good news for a minnow like me. Thanks for this :-)
Thinking to invest $1000 in your delegated SP power services, may be I can double the amount in one month :P
Sounds awesome :)
Do u really think u get double in one month?
After seeing your comment, did some calculations and found the answer. No, I can't!
it takes 90 to 120 days of upvoting yourself 10 times a day to double your steempower, just so ya know :)
reward pool low i think ill get a loss than profit lol
If you upvote yourself 10 times a day(each time when you get back to 100% voting power), it will take you about 90 something days to double what you currently have in steempower.
Great job
I don't have much :( @darnscotty@reggaemuffin, wish I read this post before I sent 0.100 SBD to @minnowbooster. I saw they give other's back, but not mine? :(
Sorry, that should not have happened! I'll check on that
Thank you, appreciate it
@reggaemuffin, any news yet?
I refunded you
Thank you so much! As soon as I have 0.5 SBD will I try again :) @darnscotty
please check the system all day the upvote has been lower the the transfer
I suggest you read the post and check the voting power of the bot 🐐
Whats up @minnowbooster I just followed you. Hope you will stay with me & follow me..

thanks just delegate some power to the bot, but i wonder how to undelegate if i need to?
in our tool just insert a negative number to remove that many SP
thanks. on the other hand, i inputted 500 SP but not sure why I end up lending 507.862. Is it part of the fee or something?
There are some problems with converting all the steem currencies into one another so we generally delegate just a tad more to you so we can guarantee you get at least 500SP ;)
Many thanks, can't wait for the first daily payout :)

I heard this is like a steem ponzi scheme. Is this true?
Where did you hear that? Never heard of accusing minnowbooster a ponzi scheme yet. And well it is exactly the opposite of that in my opinion.
yea after i did my research i can see that the person who said that was way off. this is far from a ponzi scheme.
I just sent 2sbd for upvote can i get it back i m not getting any upvote
You got your 18% upvote, maybe you did not notice?
I am getting the following error when I try to delegate SP to bot:

I tried with both my active key and password, none works.
Am I doing something wrong?
can be many thinks like that you do not have that much SP currently

i just sent 16 steem with memo 4 to you and am getting a message that i am in line for one weeks loan of steem power of something like 1040 - i thought i was requesting 4 weeks of 400 steem power - what have i done wrong ? This is the second time i have tried to get 4 weeks of steem power and had it convert to one week -the first time i used memo4 without a space so thought that was the problem -- i am disappointed as i know what i want but cant seem to order it .
Your memo is 'memo 4' you need it to be '4'
thanks -
With the memo you send, you gifted the SP to that account: https://steemit.com/@memo/transfers
i sent it to minnowbooster not memo and i just checked memo and it is not transfered there -- i followed the instructions as you make them on the first minnowbooster blog . i also made a similar mistake 2 weeks ago and the SP was lent to me. I will expect return of my money or the loan of 1040 SP or the 4 week loan of 400 SP . The money is in your account - it is not a gift
your memo contained the word memo and that is clearly the syntax for sending a delegation gift to someone. And this someone in your case was @memo
whats going on with your thinking mate ? i sent the money to your minnowbooster account and have checked the memo account -- it is in your account -- can't you afford to do the right thing ? Your instructions on blog 1 are unclear and you have plenty of money -so don't tell me my pitiful little bit of money has to be a gift to you --what is your problem , are you a scammer ? your bot has already told me your sending me 1040 SP and when i made the same error with memo4 around 10 days ago your account sent me 650 SP for a week. Talk to your partners and work out a reasonable reply .check your blog one it says to send it labelled memo '4'
