Obviously @randowhale would prefer to see users using the service to help reward others, however, this would be near impossible to police even if users were not able to submit their own posts (they'd just use multiple accounts or an exchange).
Yep. The same reason you can't stop people from voting on their own posts. If you made it so they couldn't submit from their own account and you refunded the money for example it might stop most of them, but then enough of them would likely just create another account, or create a group of friends that do the voting for each other.
Not much you can do about that.
correct me if I am wrong) but it still provides a way you could boost and pay for an extra vote for a post you like. Most people just seem more interested in buying the ticket for themselves.I view @randowhale as like buying a lottery ticket. You've balanced it out that it doesn't pay out a lot more than I think you pay (
So be it. That is NOT your fault. It is a pretty cool boost to buy for someone else until maybe they implement a way to tip people in the future. Though if there was a sleight chance you could get a big vote out of it significantly more than you paid in the fee that would be closer to an actual lottery ticket. Have you considered doing that?
Yes, changes are coming.
Edit: @holoz0r I see you've used @randowhale in the past to vote up your posts. Do you still use the service to vote up others?
Hopefully @holoz0r notices it. Since you replied to me. He probably will.
Yes, I've used it on my own posts in the past, and also on the posts if others. My future use of the service will be for exceptional posts by others in the community where I believe my vote isnt enough!
I would not recommend using it. I've been digging more, they gave me lots of good data when they bot flagged me with close to 100 accounts all at the same time on my post that was related to this one. I've been mining that for data. Quite the tangled web.
If you use Randowhale though the question "How much can I buy your soul for?" comes to mind. :)
I'll explain in the future... I got way more data from that attack than I was expecting.
As you can see by the use, your opinion has had 0 effect. I can't wait to see what you come up with, detective! That's the beauty of Steem!
I agree that is the beauty of steem. Transparency.
Keep an eye on my post it is inch worming up... from -16 it is now at -5. You'll want to sic some more of your bots on it then. :) I don't know if you have anymore of those badger bots left that didn't join in. :) You could always use some of the ngc bots though... I know you have plenty more. :)
Those aren't mine. Do some research, moron.
Also I have no way of knowing if any of my opinions had any influence that led to
Though as you once told me it is easy to make a high reputation account. Randowhale might actually make it If people of higher rep than it up vote it.
You do prove that reputation doesn't stop people from doing what they want.
