afternoon, we are beginning the closed beta test of @smackdown.kitty. She has been loaded up with 197SP from me, 500SP from @personz, and 500SP from @the-ego-is-you, and we will now be doing a little self-comment-voting to test that she is fully functional.

Myself, @l0k1, @personz, and @the-ego-is-you are the users in the initial closed beta and it will run for a few days as we watch her vitals and check that everything works as intended, before we expand the test, which I think we should do, depending on whether we have test subjects, please comment and notify us that you want to be involved and we will add your account to her list of targets.

You will see all my comments get flagged now, and the other two also, if you are wondering what's going on. We will reset the database after the testing, because we won't be having her upvote us 1% for not doing it because we are already motivated well enough to not need this, since this is what she will do to you, dear self-comment-voters, to you, if you stop.

(this just made me realise one could theoretically delegate to an alt account, and then set up a bot to autovote yourself - is there any impediment to this?)

PS

Note that right at this moment, the RPC server we are using is almost an hour out of date. So the flags will appear at random times without even having to code this in.

The kitty is working just fine, and there is numbers next to the thumbs down on busy.org, but at steemit.com, nix. I can manually place a red flag, and then the interface shows it, but not the bot. I am very curious to know why this is the case.

This is why we are doing the beta, things like this may even show that we cannot in fact do this with a bot delegated power, but only with actual SP from the same account. I was not aware of any distinction previously, and any clarifications from those who know would be useful.

This could be a bug in Condenser. Here is a screenshot from my logged in account:
