If your post needs a Boost, use @Booster - This is how it works! (BETA 0.1.0.0) This is what you need to know!

in booster •  7 years ago 

Just like @randowhale you send X amounts of STEEMDOLLARS to @booster - whatever amount you want, it is completely up to you. What will happen next is when the timer runs out every 2.4 hours, it will upvote everyone in that time-window with a 100% upvote divided among the bidders and give a stake-based % on amounts received from you.

opening-photo.jpg

This is how you do it


how-to-use-booster.png

as you can see in the example above, that is how you do it - send whatever amount you want to @booster (make sure the name is correct) with a link to your post in the memo like these people are doing:

this-is-how-they-do-it.png

When the 2.4 hour window closes another 2.4 hour window opens while @booster votes on everyone according to what they put in like @booster do to these people in the following screenshot:

booster-votes-for-posts.png

So let us take a look of the results in the next picture where @condra got a 32.25% upvote, let us look at what that is in Money:

condra-upvoted-by-booster.png

As you can see a @booster vote in this case was the highest upvoter on this post, and @condra is now a happy gamer. The only unknown factor in each time-window are how many bloggers he had to compete with.

beta testing right now. thanks for making booster!

thank you for betatesting with us :) it makes it easier to improve it :)

:)

great work bro

Is it real? Or im just dreaming???

Is there a minimum amount to bid?

I am not beta testing.. I use it daily.. love it.. it simply works

still trying to figure out this bid process thing, why does everything have to be pay to ball?

hm hell yeah brother

Sounds like an awesome tool. Just tried it out! Stoked to see it evolve and grow.

Wow... Marvelous. Be me as your friend brother

Booster is awesome! I sent 3SBD to booster and the potential payout of my latest Steemspeak guide got up from 8$ to almost 15$. With good timing, booster is perfect to make your post seen even more by other users and hence multipling the exposure, upvotes and payout! Try it out!

5X return, not bad at all! Thank you for helping us test this out!

Hi bro, will it work for a comment url too?

Yep.

it is not 5x return dear, 25% will go back as curator reward. so 3SBD plus 25% of the reward earned from vote by booster is the total cost here.

5X return is pretty lucky case I guess. People cannot expect it to happen!! If you invest 2SBD with @booster you are actually going to get a ROI with minus according to your calculator.

Wow cool buddy!!! so when do we have the party then??? lol!!!

party everyday!

And we are not invited??? that's not good :( .. LOL...

Of course you are invited! Just join us on http://steemspeak.com my friend!

While testing I upvoted two articles. Both "bids" generated a winning ROI.
It is great to see so many finding ways to build an economy on the blockchain!

Great work team @booster

Great as always @whatsup, hope it will serve the community well in serving themselves :)

I jumped in on the first test & it was both fun & exciting. I will likely be using this source often seeing as I did gain some steem with my investment. Thanks @fyrstikken

That is good to hear @kiddarko :) Don´t go all in now ;)

Ha, I try to be smart about things so don't worry I wont get carried away

Good to hear :)

a new bot is in town king booster love it brother

Great project

Thanks for adding a competing product to @randowhale etc... competition breeds progress and better situations for customers!

Agreed. I've used @randowhale twice now but will try @booster next. Great to see multiple initiatives like this.

So far so good. Steemit is EVOLVING!

boooooooom

I want to give a huge thumbs up to @inertia & @fyrstikken for creating this ingenious app.
This is gonna be great and do great!
I tested out booster on it's second ever batch.
I made a payment of 26.087SBD
This was before the vote...

And this was after...

I recieved a vote worth approx 48SBD
That's 22SBD profit on my investment
I really like the design of this and could see using it turning into a lil game of itself. It's a challenge.
Fantastic
Tips Fedora

Just waiting to see what my little bid gets me! I will definitely be keeping an eye on it's progress!

Does it works? @richardcrill

Yes it seems to have voted the first round of transfers. I'm in the second window, so I'll what percentage vote I get soon.

Sending some SBD now. Look's promising. More community style than randowhale. Great!

Interesting idea so trying it out with few posts. Is there a minimum amount that will get counted? My first attempt was with 0.320 not sure if it missed the window or just too low?

If you look at @booster´s wallet you can see how the window looks. 0.320 could be too small if the other bids are higher.

Allright, thank yoiu. I see it returned the bid too.

I posted 0.1 bid, nothing happened ....

This is amazing. Never tried randomwhale, but i guess i'll go for this :)
@booster

I am happy to see projects like this, and could tell that I will definitely use it often. I like the concept it's fair and useful. Thumbs up, steem on!

Youve been busy i see boys ) steem On @booster !

This is epic! will use this!

This is great, trying it now thanks!

Resteemed. Great project! Your presentation is very well written.very understandable.

Hey @booster, you didn't vote on one of the posts I paid for, what gives? Worked well on three of them but for some reason didn't vote at all on the fourth? Upvoting this comment in the hopes you might see it!

@dexter-k that can happen from time to time. Luckily @booster is smart enough to send your money back automatically if it could not make the upvote. You can find your refund in your steemit wallet.

9 hours ago Receive 2.000 SBD from booster Unable to accept bid. (ID:69dd836c18ee037761d11c53497001c37e780b1a)

Pretty cool, huh? :)

"Luckily @booster is smart enough to send your money back automatically if it could not make the upvote. You can find your refund in your steemit wallet."

That has happened to me...

That is pure great!

Dang thanks so much for letting me know @fyrstikken, really appreciate it! Looks like @booster is doin great :)

This is an awesome feature! Can be scary for someone new to send SBD over and then miss out on the vote. Having the guarantee it will be returned if that is the case...That is some solid community building right there!

Wondering why it does happen to not vote occasionally? Any specific criteria for it to be 'Unable to accept bid.' ?

ive sent 0.1 SBD, accepted alright.. but no vote... :(

Wow, I love how this is less random then randowhale and more based on the actual investment that you send in a donation! I love this idea and just sent my donation to see what happens! Thanks for creating this!

great work brothers

Looks like a cool idea. I'm a frequent user of @randowhale and I'll most certainly use randowhale's services in the future too.- I love the concept and it's easy as pie. However, @booster seems to have taken the "good parts" from @randowhale and made something unique out of it. I think it's a great idea but I'm also worried about the ROI further on.

My guess is that you'll be able to reap a small fortune on your posts as long as you play when there's few players around. - With tons of competitors, which I truly believe it will be, as this is something that will be used frequently, (Just look at @randowhale) I guess you'll end up with pretty low ROI but still benefit from the whale vote as you'll go higher up in the categories. - My 2 cents anyways.

I just did a big entry into it Lets see how this turns out. I am taking a little risk with this and I think it will reward me. Good to see something completely different brought to the table. Also good to see my steemspeak peeps here

wow this sounds too good to be true. Amazing if this really works, will try it out for sure! Love <3

Excellent, great alternative 🙂

I'm interested. I might test it out later.

@fyrstikken, I got to try it soon.

This is very interesting and I have just sent SBD to test it. I hope it will work better than randowhale. Thanks for sharing

Miracle is here , @booster thank you for your love ,what you giving to us . Much respect , I will try it asap 🙂

This comment has received a 1.31 % upvote from @booster thanks to: @freshstuff.

Haha.nothing happened

Damn I just found out that this works way way better then anything else here.

I just can say this is THE BEST project out here :)

@booster you rock!!!!!! #steemitlatvia

Several people I follow used this so I'm going to give it a try too. Will respond with the results.

ok, put in 2sbd, got back 6sbd. Worked!

I've put in my bid on the second round. Looking forward to seeing what happens. I'm excited! :-D

What happens when 2 different accounts vote on the same post? Only one vote can count. What happens to the other accounts money?

Hmm good point - We are building stacking so that should not be too big of a problem for very long.

Let's try it out

much wow. more votes for sale. interesting learn me more.

So it will divide one 100% vote every 2,4hours based on the stakes? @fyrstikken
It means for the players to profit they'll strategically time their votes and stakes. I predict people will start gambling in the last 5min every 2,4h interval :P This might turn into a shitshow, but hell, free money! :D

that is right. Inspired by the "EOS ICO"-model, it can be very good and when needed it will be modified to suit better demands. Have fun with it and don´t go "all in" to it.

Let's see what happens :) Bought a few.

Spent $7.80 ... Total gross $16 -25% = $12 ... profit around $4. Will do more test but looks good :)

DOING another test :)

Testing @booster out! Shout out to the Steemasarauses out there. keep BOOMIN!

I was wondering if it was working because I didn't see the vote on my post. I am really liking the concept however.

It works :) remember the 2.4 hour time-window.

Thank you. I will. Im sure ill get good luck with booster.

Nice I just tested it out and will let you know I sent in 5.833 SD great idea :)@booster :)

While it's nice to see alternatives to projects within steemit it'll also be good to get more clarity.

What happens if the amount gets sent just an hour before the 7th day of the post and it gets the vote two hours later? You should stipulate some post age to be on the safe side.

Is there any reason for choosing 2.4 hours? Why not an hour?.

the reason for choosing 2.4 hours vote-windows is inspired by the EOS ICO by @dan. Also it has to do with not draining the bot for vote-power but have a more calculated boost. As you know there is a limit on 10 X 100% upvotes per in a 24 hour period so these settings are done initially to explore and we adjust as we move forward. If it was per hour, we would adjust down the %.

You can speak directly with us on http://steemspeak.com if you have any troubles or ideas for improvements.

How does this thing give big money votes on a 47 rep and a $300 wallet?

it has delegated steempower from my account.

roger that, thanks!

@fyrstikken / @booster can voting only be done on a post's or dose comments work as well?

you can do posts and comments. You can also add more coin to it if competition is hard, we just implemented stacking. New feature :)

Awesome job @fyrstikken & @inertia , thanks for sharing it with the SteemSpeak community first! :)

Thank you :) If you want to study the code there is a link to it in the OP.

Loading...

This is a wonderful project. Thanks so much for developing it. I'll give it a try on my next post.

well... i guess this one is better... upvote for this! if @fyrstikken own this you better avail this..

Nice! Ingenious idea with the stake-pool idea! :)

This post is getting really popular here 🔝

Thats good. Let's make it happen #steemittothemoon 🖕🚀

I like the idea!

Such a great idea. It's going to get competitive when words spread of @booster. I am currently writing a post and I will certainly be testing out the beta.

Hi @booster, I got a return message "Unable to accept bid. (ID:85f24e90eccbda508ee16325e09178e8000b1d2e)" what am I doing wrong?

I am pretty excited from it... I think it's way more better than randowhale in my opinion...thanks @booster and @fyrstikken

Great, I try it out soon.
Any plans to shorten the time window when this gets popular? I would like to give a post a 'boost' shortly after I posted it.

if we shorten the time-window we need to lower the % at the same ratio so your upvote would be smaller, but it is absolutely something we can do if we want. Balancing is the name of the game.

Newbies need the booster most, but the barrier still be that most of them don't even have enough steem dollars to spend.

well, they can buy SBD on the market if they want.

Yes they can.

Interesting model here. I found after using randowhale for awhile the putting in a couple steem dollars didn't translate to a positive return...where for instance...sometimes i got 2-3 dollar increase on post price valuation...but when considering the price value of steem dollars...it didn't really result in a positive roi. Anywho just food for thought. Will give you a whirl and see how the returns are here.

Best Regards,

And i very much, do like the initiative here.

Cheers

Thank you.

This sounds something cool and amazing, will definitely give a try , thanks for this.

This comment has received a 5.40 % upvote from @booster thanks to: @sreevin.

I'm going to try this out. Thank you!

is this have no limit of SBD/Steem to send? coz i have not enough SBD/Steem yet. i really this @booster.

I like this...a little gamble on top of the vote. Now that adds some fun to the mix! Great idea! Getting into the mix for the next round of votes!

Excuse me asking a noob question. But I checked the @booster account and it does not have much in its wallet. How can it have the strength to do this.

it has delegated power from my account.

ok. and I send 50 cents right. Can I do that with multiple posts between the cycles?

Yep.

I sent a dollar, yesterday, but I have not seen the effect yet.

It worked great!

FYI: Here's what a 10% vote from @booster is worth:

And a 5% vote:

Great idea. Test it on me!

Isn't it unfair for rest all Steemians who are not using such services to just get upvoted. The platform should be transparent and equal for all the people who are sharing their thoughts, creations, images, etc. I am new to SteemIt but it appears you can get upvoted for even useless posts and the deserving posts are totally left out; what an irony.

@booster is it applicable for comments..

I try to send 7 SBD to @booster and I just want to share my result with no biases or something...
Before:

$49.31
After:

$56.90
Currently the SBD price is $1.39... so for the 7 SBD I used $9.73 and got a profit from the upvote for $7.59...
What is your opinion guys? I need your expert advise...please leave a comment @fyrstikken

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Depending on the pool of how many joined in that 2.4 hour window. In social media, this can be a great tool to cause momentum in steemit, many people love to vote on posts that are consistency higher than others. I think its worth it, even though there might be a slight loss. IMO but many may disagree and I'm ok with that :)

New follower. Tried sending STEEM. dang.

*recieved the refund of my STEEM. Thanks so much. I am attempting the proper way now lol

Can booster be used to send upvote to one of my follower as a prize or reward ? As I plan to give some followers booster upvote to their posts.

This comment has received a 0.05 % upvote from @booster thanks to: @cryptokraze.

This is excellent! Doing a test run of 5 SBD now. Excited to see how this unfolds. Resteemed to spread the word :)

Please, share your experience here, later.

I spent 3$ and it boosted the spam comment under my post not the post. :/

wtf

Maybe I did something wrong.

Hmm I think what happened is I had the comment open to reply when I copied the link to booster so it thought I wanted the comment instead. FUCK! Aw well it was just 3$ but wont be making that mistake again lol. Damn. Well I retried. Second tries a charm I guess.

It makes sense. Anyway it was useful information. Thank you for sharing it with us. Good luck this time.

This post received a 3.2% upvote from @randowhale thanks to @thinkagain! For more information, click here!

projects like these doesn't add value to the steem ecosystem.
actually it is making an "interest loop" that feeds each other, hurting everyone else who does not join.

That's certainly one theory. Another theory is that it creates a "virtuous loop."

https://steemit.com/steemit/@inertia/the-hierarchy-of-engagement-on-steemit

of course it add value to the steem ecosystem. It create more circulation in SBD and make it easy for bloggers to get a boost on their posts which build up their steempower.

when will you start.png

Thanks for this.

Check your wallet for refund

Cool, trying it now. Just send 4 sbd to the @booster account. Will let you guys know the outcome. Exciting stuff!

Works great, will be using this service more often!

So.. If count of investors will be a lots. Then all of them get nothing?

Nice idea!

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I accidentally send 6 steem instead of SBD. Will my post still be upvoted? If not can you please send my money back? I am sorry for the inconvenience. Proof of payment:

UPDATE: got great help through the discord chat ! and the bot seems to automaticly send the steem back to my account after a while ! thanks for the amazing service guys !!

Great! your contribution to Steemit Community are very appreciated.
thanks to @inertia @fyrstikken
team @booster

I need to convert steem to sbd in order to bid. how do i go about?

Certainly going to give this a shot - Anybody else open to sharing their results? I'm wondering what the average price (for ROI) is going to average out too.

Thank you very much for such a nice information. Gotta try this now.

Congratulations @booster!

Thank you for making it right! Hope to try again with more sbd next time. Cant wait to see what happens!
