Hello everybody,
We are working hard to improve smartsteem and smartmarket, which resulted in some changes:
Faster Transfer Processing
We are currently receiving so many Upvote-Requests, that we needed to improve our smartmarket code to handle the requests.
Theoratically, they could all be handled in parallel, which however would bring too much of a load onto the RPC-Nodes, so we capped it right now at 5 parallel Transfers.
Which results in processing over 30-40 Votes per Minute incl. Reward Distribution and complex Calculations.
Now, with a total number of over 700 activate Vote-Sellers, this is a pretty solid number!
Upvote Factor is now between 2 and 2.6 - based on the Curation
We tried to set the factor to a fixed 2.55 with at least 15% curation, but this resulted in less votes being casted.
So we decided to go back to the dynamic model and improve it.
Right now - if the Post is completely new and the voter wouldn't receive any curation - the ratio is at 2, which is enough to make the SBD back which was paid to buy the Vote.
And depending on the Age of the Post - at 25% curation, this factor goes up to 2.6.
There are also very exciting new Features getting worked on, but more on that when the time is right :)

Lol :D thanks!
incredibly i just got a downvote from Bernie Sanders and rewardpoolrape due to the MB promote, I just got like 1 STU and they come to put me a f* minnow downvotes. Watch out yourself!
@bigdeej
could i poossibly have my whitescore lifted? it was given when ifirst stareted posting. now I post vlogs/otopian/dtube/snapshot etc.
i'm always trin\ying to gorw steem. idk why my rating is so low.
I sent 0.4 BSD to @smartmarket and didn't receive an upvote, could you look into it please?
This is a great Idea!!! i am still new to steemit, but faster process is necessary..keep up the good work ill upvote this! Having a hard time moving from 25-27 vote power could use some love and advice
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.
Nice
In theory.
Hi, I have another question perhaps you can help me with? I am selling my upvotes through smartsteem.com which seems to be working ok now.
However, I have sold 0.055 SBD in votes according to your log and my balance is 0.019 SBD. Why is the balance only showing 35% of the sold upvotes? Do we receive the curation reward for our sold votes? Thank you for your support.
Yes, you receive curation rewards - which change depending on when you vote on the post
Thank you :-)
About 3 hours ago I sent 3sbd to @smartmarket and two minutes later I got 3 votes for about 0.90. My post was https://steemit.com/homesteading/@bowentroyer/turning-the-broken-into-something-new-on-the-homestead Not sure if it will just take more time but I have used smartmarket before and it is always really fast. Appreciate any help. So far I have not gotten a refund
Hey @bowntroyer,
that was really weird. Your transfer was just sitting there and didn't get processed any further. But you got voted now and refunded the difference!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate you taking the time to check it out. Got refunded.
@therealwolf, can I also ask something? As I'm a bit lost after reading everything 😩
If I want to use @smartmarket can I send my bid directly from my steemit account? Or should I always use the steemsmart.com website?
I thought I could see the available voting power on that website? But I'm not sure as I saw about 1USD. And that's not much with huge numbers of bids coming in.
Is there a maximum amount one can send? I noticed some steemonians sending huge amounts of 10-20 SBD.
what is the minimum post age ???
hello, i send 0.500 SBD to @smartsteem and he didnot promote my picture , how can i refund it

I sent .1 sbd and got no upvote
If you get a vote within 10 minutes of posting, then only 10% reduces the crushing
