Minnowbooster News: Introducing 5 Day Upvote Submission LimitsteemCreated with Sketch.

in minnowbooster •  7 years ago 



Minnowbooster aims to provide a service that benefits both our customers and the Steem ecosystem as a whole. In an effort to eliminate the misuse of the upvote buying service offered by Minnowbooster, voting service submission rules have now been changed.

We are currently aware that some users have been 'gaming' the system by purchasing votes for their posts as close as possible to to the 6.5 day voting limit. They are doing this in order to receive a significant payout on posts which contain little effort. This last minute vote buying is also used to avoid having their low quality or copyright infringed posts noticed and flagged.

Minnowbooster is changing the maximum post age limit for upvote bot purchases to five days. This will allow users plenty of time to purchase a Minnowbooster vote after publishing their post, while still giving the community time to downvote (or flag) the promoted post if found to be unsuitable for the rewards it received. Minnowbooster will not support authors who post low quality content or posts which amount to plagiarism or "copy-pasta" type content.

This change is the latest in Minnowbooster's efforts to curtail the use of our voting service by those who would attempt to take advantage of the system for undeserved gain.

Please refer to our post defining abuse cases for details on additional steps we are taking to protect the reward pool from abuse. Minnowbooster has always reserved the right to refuse service to any users deemed to be non-compliant with our service policies.

Payments sent to the system for posts older than the new five day limit will be returned to the sender, and no vote will be issued.

Should you have any questions regarding this new policy, please join us in our Discord server linked below where our support team is ready to assist you.


Why choose @Minnowbooster?

Minnowbooster strives to provide a truly investor-class model for Steem investors who are either not good at curating content or do not have the time or inclination to do so and would prefer to earn a "Masternode like" competitive APR return on investment with daily payouts, and simultaneously empowering the community and stimulating the attention economy of the Steem blockchain.

Thank you again for your continued support as we work on providing the most socially beneficial toolset on Steem.

Our team will continue to move forward to equip you with the services you need to succeed on Steem!

That's a great precaution! It will indeed help users with their payout but also the chance for others to downvote it. This is quite a good improvement. 5 Days is plenty enough!

I do have an other question regarding renewing leases. If I login at your website and click renew lease. Will the owner still have to verify it or is it automatic? And If I renew 2 days before the lease expires, will I lose the 2 days or will it continue after the 2 days? :)

It is automatic, the owner can undelegate all the time and you will get a refund for the time remaining.

And the 2 days are added, all else would be pretty unfair ;)

Wow, quick response like usual! This is really great customer service! Thanks for the help ;)

Edited as i was incorrect! Minnowbooster is great

?

Oops

Dude calm down bro. Your too busy at work and in life. Text me about these things before you harsh on our bros @minnowbooster. It was a 47 upvote for 18 it was like a %263 upvote

Just now?

I wish I had known this in December. I let a very good lease go. Nobody wants to fill my newer requests because of the ROI I think and I do not want to over spend o a lease. Confused. But the current one will be renewed by me of course!

how to delegate minnowbooster sir?

I sent 1SBD to @minnowbooster about 25mins ago, didnt get an upvote from him. Instead he sent 0.007SBD to me instead of 1SBD please kindly upvote the post or refund back thanks

read your memo from minnowbooster, inceptionally gave you the upvote.

Wow nice work :)
I like this:)
Thanks for sharing it

Loading...

oh nice.. less spams then

Lol....... Nice.... Followed you @skreza

While I welcome that changes a lot I would welcome it even more to push it further.

Are people with that new rule still at risk to get flagged by grumpy cat?

I fully agree that 3.5 days post age limit (GrumpyCompliance) or less would be much better (and other vote-sellers have already implemented it), as it would give the community better possibilities to find and evaluate posts upvoted by @minnowbooster (and all those other shady accounts like @peaceandlove whose votes they are selling). The 5 day limit can be a first step to mitigate the worst cases of abuse (and I heard they want to implement some further measures), but I think this service still deserves some @grumpycat attention. For post promotion 1 (or maybe 2) days would be sufficient. In many cases votes are bought purely for profit and not to promote the post.

grumpy cat deliberately did not say anything about minnowbooster and to my knowledge did not act on our customers yet. We want to go to 5 days first, see how it behaves. I personally don't think 3.5 days as an arbitrary number is any better than 5 days or 1 day, so we will base our decision on data, not 'rules'. There are genuine uses for votes at 4 days and we don't want to lock them out.

These changes are certainly welcomed. Steemians have to realize that it's not about themselves but also about the ecosystem. Anything that they're doing to benefit themselves short term at the expense of the ecosystem will damage them in the long run.

I just joined two weeks ago and I definitely think I am in it for the long ride!

thank you so much this is just so awesome , thank you for supporting the growth of steemit

hi @minnowbooster i just send a renew lease request but i'm not received any confirmation about that...what can i do?? please check the screen shoot...help me out i need to renew the lease within 1hour either the lease expried...steemit.jpg

@minnowbooster Could you please tell me why my 2 SP delegations are expired before the time and if so, why i'm not getting my steem back??

Is this change made in response to @grumpycat's actions against some vote sellers bots?

This change was made after I complained on the steemitabuse chat channel - it was very easy to find about $1000 @minnowbooster abuse per day upvoted shortly before payout, and often it was too late to retract the votes.

Congrats forgiving help cleaning this place, it is really some good thing for the community what you have done. Abusing voting bots to make a sort of ROI is simply wrong, because this way some users take money from the reward pool, which could be used to pay good posts which bring value to the platform.

You literally just copied @reggaemuffin comment on this post. You can't steal another users content.

Not indicating that the content you copy/paste is not your original work could be seen as plagiarism.

Repeated plagiarized posts are considered spam. Spam is discouraged by the community, and may result in action from the cheetah bot.

Cool! The changes are great and I found it kind of you when you delayed the time of upvotes that a post can receive in order to let people curate.

yes exactly

As a frequent user of Minnowbooster I agree with the new changes. We should do everything we can to prevent anyone from cheating the system. Minnowbooster is one of the most popular upvote bot in the community and I'm sure there have been people who frequently abuses it. Thanks for informing us of the new changes.

We were given a few good ideas to combat abuse by community members like f.e. @bloom, so we have more things planned. All suggestions and/or reports of abuse are welcome, so come chat us up in discord :)

I'll definitely give the discord channel a visit. Thanks for the invite :)

I have recieved from you this memo in refund
"We currently refuse to make business with you!"

Why?

Useful knowledge

Thank you for this update. I am happy that Minnowbooster is aiming to provide a fair investment model that will benefit investors and the value of STEEM. As long you strive to keep this is good balance I am happy to continue delegating part of my SP to the Marketplace. Thank you.

Cool update. Hopefully we will wee less people gaming the system with minnowbooster votes.

This is a good development to curb those that normally cheat the community by buying vote at the late hour to their posts payout

Dear minnowbooster

I have to admit I’m totally in awe of the services you provide; I have subscribed on many occasions to your “upvote” service and I am also currently leasing “steem power”. I do though have one simple query?

There only seems to be minimal “upvotes” available, when will we see a return to the larger purchases?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello, how can I rent SP?

Hi @minnowbooster thanks for a great service. I am thinking about selling my vote to you and have one question I would like answered. If you use for example one of my votes today valued at 0.10 what do I earn in return? Just a more or less amount will do. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing this update

Sounds good, lets see if it works... minnowbooster is awesome, you should improve the voting amount's graphic.

Thanks

That is a common pain point and we are working on improving that :) the tech behind it is complicated so it will probably never be perfect.

Hi @minnowbooster please take a look. I have sent 1SAB. but I did not get my full upvote on quality​ post. Thanks
https://steemit.com/technology/@mashwanii/whatsapp-have-launched-wahstapp-business-app-or-good-news-for-whatsapp-user

you got your full upvote from what I can see. Or can you elaborate on it?

May you explain a little bit. because I am new to use your service. guidance will be appreciated​. thanks

You got an upvote for your SBD. Can you tell me what your problem is so I can help you?

I was confused​. I thought​. I got half upvote. anyway, ​thanks.

How can I use your services?

Hey, you website voting graph is not showing correct available votes, I see your chart then make a post but when i sent you money.. You reply that you cant vote where the graph is still showing available upvotes... What is happening.. I am very disappointed.. Please help...

The chart is not perfect sadly and we are working on improving it. To not spam the rpc nodes, it it also delayed by a bit, so see it as a guidance and not a guarantee. That is sadly not possible in such a system.

nice im follow you @reggaemuffin

6 days ago, I sent 10 steem to @minnowbooster to lease steem power. Because of some kind of bug, I've not received refund. I sent message to @minnowbooster with 0.001 sbd, but I've got bot's message. Wrong URL blablabla. Can anybody help me? I want to get contact point and refund.

If my lease failed. Give my steem back, please.Screen Shot 2018-02-08 at 5.28.15 PM.png

Thanks for the amazing services

My mistake sorry

hi @minnowbooster
i get low payouts again eventhough i delegated 350SP +
please advise, thanks :)

the upvote never works.. it works only if you send low amounts..
and the graph on minnowbooster's site about sbd upvote available, it shows always wrong..

Thank you, how it will be fixed soon.

Thanks for the detailed info!

[Bug report] I want to report a bug that I encountered yesterday. I got the reply with the upgoat, but the upgoat mentioned in this tx actually didn't happen, can you refund the amount (8 SBD)? Or can you let me know what was the issue? Thank you.

Delegating SP has been a breeze. Thanks to minnow booster.

Great post..👌

@minnowbooster My bro, i sent you an amount 1 hour ago and there is no upvote on my post yet.57 minutes ago Receive 2.000 SBD from rumal11gaming https://steemit.com/gaming/@rumal11gaming/leage-of-legend-una-de-mis-mejores-partidas-luego-de-tener-un-tiempo-sin-tocar-el-game

sent 1.000 SBD about 45 minutes ago but i did not received an upvote or any refund.I did everything right, inserted the right url in memo.

Request you to please send the SBD back .

A much needed step to make voting system less of a threat to reward pool and a great empowerer for the community!

Thanks for the information. I'm new and from Latin America.

security above all I agree with the security measures

Thanks for the heads up! I just tried to buy an upgoat for the first time in a while and didn't realize. Do they not post a comment when they upvote now? I have to check your blog and see the past announcements, lol. I kept looking in my replies to make sure it went through and no comment but the upvote was done. 😁

Nevermind, saw the answer to my question in a post from two months back. Geez, it has been a while. Thanks!

please remove blacklist me?

i sended you sbd two time but you did not vote plz vote my post or send my sbd

Håper jeg bare kan bli flinkere til å bruke steemit og lage poster som faktisk noen liker :P Jeg er ikke så flink til dette, klarer ikke å bruke hodet mitt riktig. Men har funnet ut at jeg skal prøve no nytt, så da venter jeg bare på at jeg skal å sparke meg selv i ræva å begynne å steeme igjen ;)

Nice but i don t uderstand what it s STEEM VOTES and POWER !
Great job with others !

Good post!!!

Great post by the way! keep goin on like this!
You will not lose a finger i guarantee!!! have a nice day!

I try to rent SP a few days, but I just can not. steemconnect.com says "Oops! Something went wrong!" I do not understand, does it work at all?
Just transfer to the wallet of the minnowbuster with memo "2 screened 150" is returned with the entry "Sorry, your post link was invalid!"

you probably send SBD?

Steem Dollars.
It is not right?

SBD for upvotes, STEEM for SP

Okay, thank you.

I am having a hard time understanding your service...sir
how can I earn more sp and raise my voting powers

sorry I transferred 0.10 sbd for the bot and I do not see them in post or they were sent back

nice piece of information very helpful

Nice! But I wouldn't mind if its 3days... Provided the bot stop rejecting bids done in accordance with the graph

Very good initiative, I count used your service because this bot seems serious. For the moment I'm learning a little bit of all this. A lot of information in a short time for a beginner.
Could you please tell us the correct examples of sdb sent relative to a type of publication.
I sometimes see a $ 1000 + post with several bot voting.
If we send a photo, or video or article that it could be in, track corect without abuse. Sorry I am a novice and I try to understand. Thank you

Bid bots are not profitable as they have their friends bid late taking away any chance of profitability and minnowbooster is great!

I have seen some bot that promise 300%, is this possible or are you scams?

Bumper and earth-nationbot are up there minnowbooster is great!

How to join first

Nice
