RE: The Daily Bidbot Summary for Yesterday 4/21/18 - Who's paying the most for Bidbots?

in #steemit7 years ago

Why is there such a variance in the "after refunds" column? Sometimes it is as if the person got back less SBD than they spent and other times as if they got back every penny they spent exactly. Are you rounding to zero whenever they got back at least as much as they spent on SBD?

Hi, good to hear from you again.

Many times a bid send to the bots are refunded by the bot due to many factors:

  • The bid is two high (some bots have a $50.00 limit)
  • The bid is too late
  • The bid would take the bot over it's maximum allowed voting range
  • The post is too old or not at least 30 minutes old.
  • The bid is a duplicate
  • The author is blacklisted (most bots don't refund for this.)
  • The bot is asleep.

So Refunds are not what the bot payouts out, but basically bids that were not accepted.

Thanks for the clarification and for all the research you do. I've been reading you but not having time to comment, as I'm in the midst of a home sale and inter-state move.

You are very welcome. thank you!

An interstate move is one job I know I am very glad not to be doing :)

Blessings!
