INTRODUCING: THE WHEEL OF UPVOTES!

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

There are lot of ways how to promote your post or at least give yourself a little bit higher post-payout. With some you can lose money and some will give you exactly what you ordered.

They are cool and such, but where is the love? What I hate about those "upvoting" accounts is that everything is automated - they are just bots!

There is no connection,
no human interactions.

And we see this behavior on steemit more and more. People are upvoting only themselves and not give anything to others. We have to change it.



INTRODUCING THE WHEEL OF UPVOTES!

It is a game. Wheel of Upvotes is another way how to promote your post, get new followers and resteems. What I hate about randowhale is that it is not random enough.

On our wheel there can be dozens of options that you can get and dozens of possibilites how to use the wheel. I would say it is very similar to Dream Catcher. Dream Catcher is very popular game in the gambling community right now. Also later in time there will be options to also win a resteem or follow on the wheels. You could also get some new followers and friends out of this. Also there is always a possibility to have more amazing wheels such as giveaway wheel or whaleshares wheel.



There are more wheels that you can choose from. Are you more conservative and you always want to get something out of your SBD/Steem? Or do you want to gamble a little bit and try to win 100% upvote, or even 200% upvote?


It will take time to proceed your transactions as everything is done manually by me.


To make it legitimate I will show to who I am spinning for, when he paid and also I will show you the upvote that I am giving. Everything will be recorded and would be available on youtube as private video.



THE OPTIONS RIGHT NOW ARE:

WHEEL 1
From 5% to 100% upvote. Where will you land? This is the conservative wheel and you always get something back.


WHEEL 2
For cheaper price there is a wheel just with two options. 0% and 100%. Go big or go home.



HOW TO USE THIS/HOW TO JOIN?

Go to your steemit wallet and from there click transfer.

The prices are:
For Wheel 1 - 0,05SBD or 0,05 Steem
For Wheel 2 - 0,04SBD or 0,04 Steem

This is for one spin. If you would like to have more spins, please send proper amount of SBD or STEEM and write to the memo that you just want upvotes to your newest posts and/or comments too.



WHY IS THIS NOT ON A NEW ACCOUNT LIKE RANDOWHALE OR BOOSTER IS?

I need to show people that this thing is legit and I am not going to scam anybody. If you for example paid for an upvote, but you still did not have it on your post, you must understand this is done manually and takes time.

Also this way it will be seen by more people, but in future I would like to have it on another account as this project could get a little bit more spammy, because this thing will not work 24/7, because sometimes I have my own things to do and also I have to sleep every day. :) That means I have to update people to wait or to not send any SBD/STEEM right now.


What I am also missing is delegated steem power, donations or joining the trail if you like this idea.
Right now, the project is being played with pennies, but can be massive with your help! If you would like to contact me you can find me on many discord channels (mostly on whaleshares discord) and we can discuss everything!


This project will change as it goes so if you will be using it please always check if nothing was updated or changed!

Thank you very much!
Please help this project out by resteeming it to others!


Do you have suggestions or anything else to tell? Comment below please!

PS1 - Read my comment below about: "what happens when you get a payment and request for something you've already updooted?"

PS2 - The video will be uploaded later, but I have time on screen so don't worry. I think the better idea would be to put it as a stream. I will do it this way for at least a few days and I will try to find other options that are possible to use.

PS3 - If you want to know more about the next update, please read the comments below.

Thanks eirik. I've already received my upvote :)

I have just sent you some steem for wheel 1 with a link

This is pretty dang cool. And a good value right now. Do you choose to do it manually, or would you do this with a bot if you could?
Will you still be manually voting on things just because you like them?
If so, what happens when you get a payment and request for something you've already updooted?

The bot upvoting have one problem and that is, the bot can't read the post. I actually like the posts that I upvoted and I am even sad that @educ.leb post was upvoted just by 5%, because the images are really wonderful.
I know that bots can do many things and save so much time, but we can't have steemit full of bots. :( I like spending time on steemit. But to answer your question, do it the "bot" way when I can't do it would be probably good as I still could check the post later.


That is a good question. With doing it on main account there is one big problem. You have to be unbiased and stop voting on things you like. I hope nobody would be mad if I give at least 1% upvote to posts I like. This is still a very new concept and only time how to do it properly.

Because I am doing it manually I think the best way would be that if you receive on the post for example 5%, but you want more, you can pay for spin for the same post. If you get higher upvote, I will take away the 5% and give you the higher one.

Hopefully I answered it all. Thanks akrid.

Yes it does, thank you. I think the 1% is fair and still shows your support. However, I don't think you should be removing and revoting since it's a waste of your voting power pool, resets your curation rewards and diminishes value from future spinners.
A final concern is the second wheel. I believe you should always spin this one first In the case that someone paid for both. It's your choice if you want to refund the charge for the other one since it's impossible to vote 200% (unless you're using a second account with the same amount of SP)

Oh I though it will put it back to your voting power if you remove the upvote. Well then it does not make sense to voting again, you are right, thank you.

But I think if they put the same memo I could just upvote some of his/her previous posts. The value would be same. But this is questionable if people would want it on different posts if the price for the spin would be higher.


You are probably right with this too. If he pays for both he should get two upvotes and the higher one should be on the post. But where will the second go?

What I am thinking is that people are really using those upvote bots for a chance for higher post-payounts so upvoting anything else with the second upvote would probably not make him mad. But I think totally think about this.

Thanks :)

As a person you have the advantage over a bot and can make decisions as they come ;-)

I maybe try later :)

Also in the next update if you get less than 30% upvote from the wheel and your post is good and I like it, I will be adding 5-10% to it! Just to make sure the right posts gets what they deserve.

Great idea @eirek, the more of these awesome upvote tools we have the easier it is for new minnows to get started on the platform, so it can only be a good thing.

Also in the next update if you get less than 30% upvote from the wheel and your post is good and I like it, I will be adding 5-10% to it! Just to make sure the right posts gets what they deserve.

As it may take time for this to happen - doesn't this defeat the purpose? e.g - if it slides down to say 4 hours old, and then you upvote - nobody will see it?

Excellent point waykiwayki.

But it is just one way of seeing this. You can also use this to make your post-payouts higher for a lesser price. In the next update if you get less than 30% upvote from the wheel and your post is good and I like it, I will be adding 5-10% to it! Just to make sure the right posts gets what they deserve.

However I am really trying to keep up with the transaction as much as possible! But some really big upvote delays (like day or two) should not happen as I will update you guys everytime I will not be able to upvote. :)

Thank you.

This is a pretty cool concept and looks like a bit of fun! Just sent you some steem for Wheel 1 to give it a shot :)

I will be changing the rules little bit to match the awesome and quality content you guys are posting! :)

Cool, I'll keep my eyes out! I'm sure I'll come back every now and then and give the wheel a try too :)

Excellent post keep it up

great post @eirik thanks for sharing.
upvoted & followed ;)

Very nice content and well executed :) and yes human connection well cant really call it human connection more like digital hugs is important and these bots i really don't use them and also don't intend to use them.

Thank you fellow Steemian :)

Nice post @eirik
I like it

it's done i sent you ;)

checkin out that wheel like

That sounds like a very cool alternative to the upvote bots. Just more fun.

That's a nice concept indeed!

Interesting! I'm going to try it.
