IMPORTANT: We found a bug in the calculation of Vote-Seller Profit - 100% Vote-Profit for 2 weeks as compensation.

Hey there,

@therealwolf here - developer and founder of @smartsteem & @smartmarket.

One of my personal biggest fears as a developer - is the missing of bugs / logical errors in my written code.

While most of the code I've written for @smartsteem and @smartmarket works like a charm - today I found a logical thought error which gave Vote-Sellers less payout than they should have received.

And for that I'm sorry!


While the bug has been fixed - we want to compensate everyone who made less revenue than what we promised (even though the revenue was still pretty good and the bug only small!) - we decided to make 2 changes:

100% Profit for 2 weeks

All Vote-Sellers that have sold votes until today will receive 100% of the profit for 2 weeks.

We receive 5 SBD for an upvote that you voted for us? You will receive the full 5 SBD!

Note: But only those Vote-Sellers who have sold Votes until today. The rest will be 85%

Allow Posting-Voting option disabled for 2 weeks

While the option to allow Posts from Post-Voting was used as a way to increase the payout for the Vote-Sellers from 85% to 98% while allowing us to use 1 vote max per day on posts from smartsteem - we are disabling this until further notice!

New Vote-Sellers will receive 85%

And new Vote-Sellers that haven't sold their votes before will receive 85% of the profit - regardless if the option of Allow-Postvoting is activated or not, since it is currently disabled.

How to find the Profits?

Go to smartsteem.com and login. After that you will find all your sold-Votes on your profile.


Again - as the developer, I'm sorry for this and will do my best to make sure those things never happen again!

And please - if you have any questions, then ask me directly on discord or write under this post as a comment!

Any more technical infos on the bug? Is your code open-source?

No it's not - to stop copy-paste pirating.

That good news to inform us being transparent by its mistakes and be fair to everyone in Steem, happy to know that the errors will be compensated giving an efficient solution, thanks for making Steem an extraordinary trip with @smarsteem

i send you 0.1SBD but i didn't get anything

postlink please

Hi! I sent 0.50 yesterday and did not get the upvote. This is the link: https://steemit.com/nature/@carleenp/sperry-chalet-to-lake-mcdonald-glacier-national-park-photo-tour-7

You have received the vote. Please check smartsteem.com/profile

I went to the profile page and to the balance page and I am still receiving the same amount of payout on votes. Nothing changed!

As said in discord - it may look like it is the same due to the changes being subtle - the bug wasn't much of a profit loss - but the change is still there! :)

Refunded! :)

OMG. That is bad news. What will happen for old users?

All Vote-Sellers that have sold votes until today will receive 100% of the profit for 2 weeks.

The bug hasn't reduced the payout much, but enough so that we want to compensate it.

How about verify the pending user list ??

We are working on the review-process, so you need a bit more patience :)

Thank you <3 steemit has taught me enough patience hehe I am waiting, you guys are awesome.

Hi friend I send 0.100 sbd but you don't upvote

I have a question because I really do not understand how you vote,
if I buy him a vote worth 0.72 like I just did and you tell me thisScreenshot_940.png
but it turns out that if I sent him 0.72 this is worth another
Screenshot_941.png
because you give me less than my vote is worth, could you explain it to me please

I don't understand what you're trying to ask with his post. Please talk to me on discord. therealwolf#5970

Can you tell me why you are voting for me and then you do not appear on the balance sheet and you used my vote?

I can't help you if you're not giving me a postlink. Also, as said before - contact me on discord.

OK, but I haven't received money from my delegation this week

Will be send out once it reaches 0.5 SBD / STEEM

Ok super ;-)

Hello. I noticed something, when I set to vote only on 100% VP, it was voting on 99%, now is voting on 96%?

So, apart of doing that option really works as intended, could you also add a 1 to 1 percent there, to set it, for example, at 97% or any number I want from 0% to 100%?

We'll add that! Thank you for the feedback!

Hi,

I have a question regarding the profits I make. It says in the profile that I upvote for 0.031 and that I can have to 98% of the upvotes, but I only get around 0.012 on my balance. Is there something I'm missing or am I just that dumb?

The 98% option is currently disabled as we don't use your vote to upvote our own posts. However, when you upvote with 0.031 - you will only receive the amount that the user pays, which is around 0.031 / 2.4 => 0.12

Okay thank you for the clarification!
