We are testing today the new run of Minnow Booster Day!
All Casters over the FVL will still be skipped by those who are fractionally voting, in addition, those with over 20 Shadow Rank would also be skipped to ensure the real minnows in the pool can get a boost.
This will help ensure ALL members in our pool earn fairly EVERY week, regardless of there rank! IF you are a good steemian you will earn more with this new system in place!
We will be monitoring and collecting all the data from this trial run and make any needed tweaks necessary as we go forward based on what we collect and what you all report back to us!
Thanks again to everyone who is part of this community! Without each and every one of you, none of this would be possible! All the feedback you can provide is always taken into consideration and used to help navigate this ship through the steemy waters!
A common problem seems to be people thinking they have received no votes from the pool even if they have got many. This seems to happen even for a few people that have been around a while already.
So maybe something on the shadow caster page could show:
[Total Votes Received]
(today)(last 7 days)(last 30 days)(all time)
^each containing the number of votes for that time period.
Tracking what post those votes hit is already possible.
I don't know how implementation would go on this for keeping track of all that, but something similar to it could also work, like any approximation of the last few days, tallied into a prominent display of total votes received may reduce one of the most common confusions people seem to have. Just a random idea today :)
Very good idea, added to our list! Yes all these stats are already stored and easily able to be displayed. We plan to add that in for the next release!
We store locally (and it is all on the blockchain) every last vote generated, the author, the timestamp and the caster.
What does FVL stand for?
Fractional Voting Level - https://shadowbot.us/shadowbot/faq.php#how-does-fractional-voting-work
Awesome. Good initiative. Happy to support!!
I don't understand why I haven't been receiving votes from @shadowbot. You can check my blog. I hope this arrangement will work. As someone said on this platform we all need the votes.
As we continue to evolve and expand we are constantly adapting to ensure everyone receives the votes they should. Part of all the feedback we received has led to this: https://steemit.com/steemit/@shadowbot/minnow-booster-day-a-huge-success-flip-flop-day-being-introduced-next
Hey @shadowbot, My account has not received any votes, Showing 0/0/0 etc the past week
There was a backlog in the Rewards reporting software. It is fixed and working now. Thank you for alerting us to this!
Thanks for the Update!
Feed those minnows!
This update is really feeding them well, just 3 hours in and already 3 Shadow Rank Casters are getting votes!
Nice, I hope it encourages more people to use shadowbot. I've been directing real life friends to use shadowbot, I think this will help to show them just how great shadowbot can be.
Our MISSION is "Learn and EARN together!"! We get bigger and better and learn every day how to more fairly distribute to everyone who is a good steemian the votes they should be getting!
Thx for providing and improving the service! Being partof Shadowbot taught me the ins and outs of Steemit quickly!
One thing though: I do not see any upvotes on the first 3 posts I checked (stopped checking after that to write this comment) on shadowbot:
@hatsekidee/this-is-not-a-stone-49
https://steemit.com/cryptos/@hatsekidee/all-the-money-in-the-world-in-one-graph-or-how-money-has-absolutely-no-value-no-more-or-less-than-cryptos-at-least
@hatsekidee/this-is-not-a-stone-50
Also, the expected reward displayed on shadowbot does not correspong with the expected payout displayed at the bottom of my posts (same posts).
Any ideas as to why this is?
That is our goal, we learn and earn together!
We calculate the payouts not in USD but in VESTs to SBD. USD calculations will always be difficult to calculate therefor we chose to avoid them.
makes sense :-)
But the no-upvote issue? If noticed this is the case since a week (for many of my posts). Is it a lag issue or am I amybe doing something wrong?
Balancing and re-balancing. We operate on a week by week basis not a day by day. If we detect you are unfairly missing out your Shadow Rank is bumped up and we will even manually give you (from our own account) some up votes just to make everything fair! The best thing you can do for all of us is continue to report every issue you have and help us identify the best path(s) to get through them. Without great steemians like you, we could not make this possible!
Thx for the info. Just woke up and already learned somwthing new today!
Nw I understand why I got these rank bumps :-D
I won't hesitate to drop any issues if I come across them.
=D you are starting to understand how the system works. It is granted a little complex, but it is designed to balance and make things fair. As your Shadow Rank increases, the weight your posts get will go up, as well as the priority in the pool. Remember, increasing your SP directly increases your rank as well through our new system: https://steemit.com/steemit/@shadowbot/voting-allocations-have-been-upgraded-critical-update
I think we were talking about different things yesterdyay @shadowbot. What I meant was that the difference between what my post displays and what shadowbot displays as being my expected reward is not the difference in the formula but a giant lag (or bug, I dunno). I'll show you with imgs. Check the highlighted sums to see what I mean. Hope you can tell me why this is.
why you dont working with me @shadowbot
Transfer 15.686 STEEM to blocktrades 793d64df-92f7-4e14-9e21-20809b56c3c3, remember that shadowbot is a community of people, a pool working together to better them selves and each other. If you pull all of your worth out and cash it in then how is that working together? I get pulling some out but you should really get your sp up so it helps other people in the pool. This was the first thing I saw when looking at your account. You have 43.585 STEEM and powering down?
can i join shadowbot.us
Yep all you have to do is go to the site and log in. It will create an account on the spot.
I am not getting upvote in last few days. Any problem in the process?
We are seeing upvotes on your latest post "https://steemit.com/@hafiz34/where-is-rest-of-the-money":

Good luck... This will really help minnow like me 😊
Im getting less no of votes these days , even though i maintain vp withgood shadow rank and priority, can you please look into it ?
I experience the same issue. From one day to another my Upvotes dropped from 500+ to around 50
I always thought if there are more people using Shadowbot the number should increase instead of decrease
Also, my posts don't show up in the Shadow Queue although my voting priority is 4.1
Your personal Shadow Queue is posts your account will potentially be upvoting, it will not contain your posts. If you look under your account you will see your posts listed.
Ah ok got it! Sure since the auto self-upvote got removed it doesn't show my own posts longer - makes sense
What about the decrease of votes received?
I'm sure there are MANY factors you need to juggle to keep it running even SOMEWHAT smoothly, fairly, and most importantly, solvently (without sinking).
Keep up your good work!
Yes many many factors and part of the system is reducing abusers, spammers, and bad steemians! Check out our latest approach for how we plan to even further expand our system to make things fair for all! https://steemit.com/steemit/@shadowbot/minnow-booster-day-a-huge-success-flip-flop-day-being-introduced-next
Hi, my posts didn't get any upvotes today at all, I am currently at 307 SP and 46 rank, while other accounts were getting like a lot of upvotes with their 1k+ SP and 50+ rank, so this is not equal voting. And I also can't check my post SB rewards cause they are stuck at 0, not sure if its a bug or something. Just wanted to report this that the system is not equal atm.
You have been using my votes and returned nothing. Can you have a look on my a/c
I am glad you came up with this wonderful idea. We all need the votes.
We are working hard each day to process everyone's feedback and ensure everyone gets the fair votes they should! Take a look at where we are moving thanks to the feedback people like you provide us each week! https://steemit.com/steemit/@shadowbot/minnow-booster-day-a-huge-success-flip-flop-day-being-introduced-next
