Royal Bot Review: @pushup doesn't check the price feed

in royalbotreview •  7 years ago

The @pushup account has been around since October 2017.
Max post age 5 days.
Accepts SBD or STEEM with a minimum bid of 1 SBD or STEEM.
Will upvote comments or posts.
They do leave not comments when they vote.
It appears customer service is done through comments or wallet transfers.


I was asked by @jorlauski to review @pushup. I did the bidding on 2/20/2018. I did not have enough SBDs for the minimum bid at the time. I waited 3 auctions until I found one that was a positive ROI close to end of bidding. I went to the market and got a market quote that 1.5 SBDS = 1.8 STEEM.

I waited went over to steembottracker and used the vote calc to see what my vote would be worth.

I placed my bid then 2 people bid after me. I kept checking the vote calculator and this is what it read at end of auction.

The first thing I would like you to notice is that the software that controls this bot doesn't use accurate conversion for STEEM to SBDs. If you look at @sametceylan they have a 1.5 SBD vote which should be equivalent or a little less than my 1.8 STEEM vote but they are getting a larger percent of vote.


Now lets check some math.

Notice the total vote value cast is $8.73 whereas Steembottrackers says we should have received a $9.37 upvote



Positives: Large upvote value so it can take large bids, takes bids 5 days after creation, takes SBD or STEEM.

Negatives: Bids don't match what Steembottracker says, conversion from SBD to Steem is weaker than market pricing.

Fine print:
This information was accurate at time of posting, but there is a possibility that the bot or account owner have changed their code or practices in between when I wrote this and you read it. I will try to keep these up to date but do your diligence before bidding or sending money.
I will give you the caution that whenever you use bid-bots you should be prepared to loose part of your investment as people can vote after you and bring your share of the rewards pool down. Always check how the bot performed last round, compare it to how they paid out before you bid and be prepared to potentially loose your investment.
