Frontrunners! They're going to happen, so i like how they're making it work for authors and investors by working with the frontrunners.

As a side note we also provide an api that people could use to automatically frontrun. If demand is there I could expose a delayed field that shows how many seconds our upvote was delayed. This would provide for an interesting incentive on those really big upvotes we have planned. If you know they happen, the biggest question is, when will you frontrun? At 10 minutes? Maybe someone else frontruns at 9 and screws you.

I could even consider offering this as a MB feature. But currently priorities are at improving the service.

That's a great idea!

Where can I find more information about that API?

Check https://www.minnowbooster.net/upvotes.json you can add a ?page=1 to step through the upvotes. If you need additional data, just write me here or on discord and I.ll get you sorted. There is currently no doc so things are subject to change. And generally: If you need MB data, tell me what you need and why and I will build you an api for it.

The smart front runners will look at the post age and figure it out.
Maybe team voting, where multiple SYV seller are combined to meet the larger orders? But, fun times figuring out how to graph that on the vote value graph thing.

We were already thinking about combining multiple sellers, but we noticed it would not scale that well :I We need 100 1 cent voters to get 1 dollar. And it would look like 100 votes. And when should we do that? I have some ideas in that area but other things have priority and are easier targets with more effect ;)
