I see that you claimed I am in some sort of "vote ring" for upvoting the post by @mericanhomestead. I have no idea how you reached this conclusion as I have no users on autovote.
I upvoted and resteemed the post last night, and will actually be driving over to meet @mericanhomestead in person next week. I'm just upvoting content that I find enjoyable.
Say hi to Zac for me, he's a top guy :)
This is an algorithm which seeks to detect patterns of similarities among upvoters which may be indicative of a voting ring. I am not accusing anyone of anything. Merely attempting to work with the community to develop my approach to a point where it is a reliable and consistent means of predicting voting rings. As with any experiment, there are levels of statistical confidence which exist. While I have not included an exact confidence for this first experiment, it was heavily implied that this was an early stage and not very confident trial. Hope you understand and can commit to helping me improve for my next trial. :)
Okay, I get that. Although maybe people with similar interests upvote similar content.
Yeah I follow @mericanhomestead and @papa-pepper and I upvote them. I think you may need to adjust your algorithm. Not everything is a conspiracy. Steemit has much more positives then negatives in my almost year here. Concentrate on + 😊
I'm in the same boat as @papa-pepper. I manually curate all of my posts.
Classic witch hunting.
Hey man, can you get with me on chat or discord quick?
Hey, yeah I'll jump on now
How can I downvote or is it just flag?
Same thing.
the sign of a guilty man!
Because I upvoted a guy talking about bringing his youtube subscribers to steemit? Or because you clearly suck as a programmer? Or because you are attacking new users and an awesome guy like @papa-pepper? Or maybe because I don't want to see you get paid for this garbage?... focus on going after real voting rings and maybe I would support you instead of releasing this garbage in the wild before its ready
just playing devil's advocate https://steemit.com/votingtrail/@acidyo/curation-trails-bad-or-good-for-the-platform
Please don't get offended. Discussion is good. Let's help me improve as a sucky programmer then :)
I'm an IT guy (not a programmer) and If I released this before it was ready, to test on my users, I'd get fired. So you're playing with an algorithm that has potential to do good but as you can see by the comments it is targeting and potentially chasing away new users that probably came here to follow a popular content creator from another platform.
Clearly you are a gifted programmer that would never do anything irresponsible as I pointed out but I think you put this out just to incite, troll, and most importantly to make money... But please don't get offended #sorrynotsorry... you should remove it til its ready or it should be flagged for trolling
I respectfully disagree. Programming is about collaboration and short feedback loops. I am sorry this post has not gone as well as it might have but I will not shy away from it. I am taking it on board and the next post will be done better. Hope you understand where I am coming from.
Very cool. This ladies intro post.
and @linuslee0216 celebrating 100 followers and @mericanhomestead with his 46k youtube subscribers
CLEARLY they are involved in voter rings and should be publicly blasted forever on the steem blockchain... collaborate your alpha release with other programmers not new customers. Until the public release I call this trolling for $$$ ... Hope you understand where I am coming from
Also, let's take a closer look at your code. It is your code right? or did you just run this code, https://api.steemjs.com that you fished for early and make some trolling statements? I do know python so I can compare this to yours and see where you went wrong. In the spirit of collaboration of course.
Wait...what?!??! So using streemian to follow other peoples votes is a bad thing?! i don't guess i understand...
