Hey, I sent 0.15 SBD to @smartmarket and it has returned 0.118 SBD. Now I am no expert but you said in the post above the return factor is between 2.0 and 2.6. On the web site smartsteem.com it says "at least 2.2" and it said the same thing on the "buy upvotes" pop up window.
0.118 on a 0.15 investment is actually only a factor of 0.79 and a LOSS of 0.032 SBD. Would you like to tell me what is going on (before I accuse you of making false claims on the returns and taking my money?)
I notice in my wallet Tx log I also just received 0.099 SBD. Not sure what your bot is up to (did it refund the difference?) but 0.118 + 0.099 = 0.217 which is actually a factor of 1.45. That is a profit, but not by much after curation rewards of 25%. I cannot see what the memo says as I am on my mobile.
Thanks!
Do you have an email or some way we can contact you by the way? Might be easier to message you about issues like this rather than post it on your blog (accusing you of things)?
The samething has happened with me too !
It's not looking as much profitable as they are projecting . Looking for another instant bot !
It is profitable, but not when you get greedy.
If you send 1 SBD - then you will receive x2 at 0% Curation. Which results in 2$ value and 1 SBD Payout.
If you send 1 SBD - and your post is already older then you will receive x2.6 at 25% curation. Which results in 2.6$ value and 0.95 SBD payout. Which is still a lot - if you think about how much you will get additionally through Steempower.
So please, don't state any facts that are not true. Smartmarket is one of the most safest choices if you want to buy votes - in contrast to most upvote-bots, which are easily overbidden.
But you are free to use any bot you like.
Facts that are not true are not facts. Just saying.
You received 0.11$ of Votes - from a 0.05 SBD send which is at least 2x what you send. This is probably due to you getting votes while voters didn't receive any curation.
And yes, the bot refunded the difference of what it couldn't upvote.
Sorry but I sent 0.15 SBD and this part is correct, so its all good. All we need to know is: does the bot make a profit or not? It is not greed! You only have see my wallet to see why. If we are clear about the goals and returns at the outset, then people would have confidence to send more SBD more often.
