Ok, so I have a voting bot. It's a bidbot. It's using the DrOtto build made by @inertia, which is the same program that runs @booster, @bellyrub, and @discordia. Some people have concerns over these bots and things like @randowhale, but I think they are a neat addition to the community. If you're just upvoting your own shit posts or comments it's lame, if you're upvoting your own posts that's mediocre, but if you're using it on other people then it can have some really awesome effects.
How do bidbots work
Bid bots have SP on them and you can purchase votes from them. You send some sbd with a transfer note of the post you want to upvote. Every so often the bot will vote based on the bids. If there's only one bid then that person gets all of that vote. If there is more than one bidder it's split.
Sample Split
Jimmy bids 1 SBD
Sarah bids 2 SBD
John bids 7 SBD
Jimmy will get 10% of the total outgoing vote.
Sarah will get 20% of the outgoing vote.
John will get 70% of the outgoing vote.
High bids
Lovejuice has 12k Sp and votes roughly every hour or so. The max upvote is around a 60% upvote. It's worth around 1.2-1.6 SBDs. I haven't checked exactly so I'm not positive. In terms of bidding you don't want to bid more than 1.2-1.6 SBDs because you'll get no return. If other people have already bid over 1SBD worth you may want to wait for the next round of bidding.
Minimum bids
@lovejuice has a 0.1SBD minimum bid. So for 0.1 sbds you basically have a chance at up to 1.2-1.6 SBDs. If you're timing is good it's a pretty sweet deal.
it's not a whale
One of the things about this is that the bidbot is specifically not a whale. You won't win 40 sbds on a full vote, but you're also not spending a ton. I also don't feel like it's draining or raping the pool. I don't think any of these bots are. It's giving access to larger votes to smaller accounts and a fun way to get a head start. If you do think those bigger bots are bad though I hope you can tolerate a much smaller one as a way to help newbies get off the ground or to make friends for short monies.
moar love, moar juice
So, earlier today I made a post on the account letting folks know @lovejuice got an upgrade. Here's hoping you choose to use lovejuice. Oh, and btw, if you want to catch the resteem from me or lovejuice you better use the bot on someone else.
write up a review and ping me
I'm happy to share some good stories with the people if you can spare some time to talk about lovejuice.
People love only they like but bots love all.
Now with more power more earnings. I am using it and getting good results thank you.

That was the lamest thing you could do, to abuse lovejuice in this post and to upvote yourself. It is just a smack in the face of aggroed, lovejuice and all the PAL community. You should be ashamed of yourself.

okay. if 10 person transfers 1 sbd to lovejuice bot then each of them will get 10%? which is--
that means all of them have lost 79 cent and you get 10 sbd. is this bot helping minnows or lives for it's own sake?
because it has only 12,xxx,xxx power you need other rules for start my advice would be that. the rules you choose works best for booster or minnowbooster which has almost 486,xxx,xxx and 250,xxx,xxx steempower. i think would be better if bot upvotes from 100% and drains power to 80% and stops and refills again and if you map between those numbers relative to received money maybe something workout.

Its maximum upvote is $1.2-$1.6 so you should avoid bidding more than $0.60 to avoid a loss. A lot of people just bid $0.1 so if you bid $0.6 and 5 people bid $0.10 you'll get more than half the output and it's worth it. Last I used it it voted every 36 minutes so check the wallet and steemd.com and you can see how many people bid since it last voted. Then, bid appropriately to try to get a good chunk of the payout.

Yeah, I'm pretty clear in this not to bid more than 1 sbd total per vote.

Hey @aggroed, in my opinion it's a good thing to have such bidbots, although it's my opinion and I am entitled to have one. Right?
I think this can help minnows of the platform in a big way. I, as a matter of fact being one, have seen that a holding hand of a big fish has helped me on some of my posts. Whereas, there are some of my posts which went totally under the radar, without yielding anything, even after all my efforts. These bots are a win win for everyone involved. Thanks for presenting us with yet another option. ✌️

Is the bid bot code on github? Or just being handed down steemer to steemer?

Votebots can be helpful, but some do exploit it. Like you said, I have seen people upvote their shitcomments with randowhale to make a quick buck. That's why my favorite one currently is @minnowbooster as it has a limit making sure the value keeps worthy without exploitation possible.
DrOtto's script is a welcome addition. But honestly, the last couple of times I used @booster it gave me a huge loss, too much demand.

A team of friends are working on a Flag BOT to tune in and FLAG spam bots offering 0.001SBD for votes and follows. So if you create bots bare in mind we will be ripping them apart if they are malicious to the Steem economy. :) BOT epidemics will not take over steemit
