Ah yes, minnowsupport is one of those 'promotions' I had seen and referred to above...

So your word of mouth is good enough for me ...

I just didn't see where this 'upvote power' comes from ... like you said, seems like a lottery ... in other words, send a 'bot' your money/power, entrust them with some of your own power, and hope it comes back with interest ... May not even be that sophisticated, maybe just a nice website and all 'hands-on' in the 'back-end' manually picking the winners of their little Ponzie scheme...

I appreciate your warning here, Stan! at this point I still dunno what anything about this msrw ap that can be used maliciously ... and I still need to read up on how these upvote percentages work ... Oh wait, I think I understand now that the images finally loaded, that's userid 'MRSWAP' (sounds bigoted to begin with!) and the percentages are of the total bid pool for that 'round' I would guess ...

It does seem like 'the wild west' and until I truly get a feel for the lay of the land, 'keep your powder dry' as they say ...

Is there any way to block 'mrswap' ?

Oh minn0whelper ... sorry ... So minnowsupport may be legit? Case-by-case, seems like you said, one needs to acquaint themselves with the key players ... in any initiative here ... before 'jumping in' ...

Thanks, Stan! Yeah, How about that! I had just joined the @minnowsupport PAL Discord Room, right before opening this comment ;-) They politely answered a question I had which I later noticed I should have looked into the FAQ first! Kind of them, I don't intentionally to that sort of thing, heat of the moment, I guess.

The learning curve here is something! reminds me of my tech days ... the linux guys versus the windows/pc guys ... Nice to grow into a more sophisticated congregation ... the learning curve manifesting these mistakes we two are commiserating here ...

For one thing, I've been so focused on making music and posts about it, that I put learning about the 'value prospect' on the back burner ... now my wallet is getting to the point where I ought to read the FAQ more closely ;-) I feel fortunate to have @minnowsupport and a friend like you with whom to swap 'war stories'

A great Sunday to you, my friend!

hmm, yeah best to go in well informed Now that you mention it, google does seem to pointing in the direction of 'best search results their advertisers can afford' ... have you seen these two: vote bots: @steemvote and @buildawhale ? Sounds like one really does need to use the bot tracer app you mention above, trust, but verify...
