STEEMAUTO - Two New Features and How I Will Start Using Them

Big shout out to @MahdiYari who is the programmer behind SteemAuto. He has worked very hard on this at my request. Please, go vote for his witness and look at his latest request on utopian.io (he wants a new homepage)

Which Features I Requested and Why?

At this point, I'm getting at least 100 comments per post. Many of them by very loyal followers and fans...more than anything I want to support them and help them get as much SP as possible. At this point, I'm at least 3 articles behind when it comes to upvoting the good comments in it.

So I have to partially automate my comment upvoting while keeping a close eye on people who would want to abuse it.

Feature 1: Knowing Who My Real Fans Are

Right now those fans are:
@ryankofi, @kerdan, @steemit-arabia, @fermond, @mhmegh, @thethreehugs, @himshweta, @videogeek, @mahdiyari, @raj1511, @sr944, @damzxyno, @jaka87, @leyebiz, @fitzgibbon, @gardeningabc, @marshalllife, @investor7, @franklin92, @nadabrahmasounds, @njokuoluchukwu, @cryp2me, @driftingvoice, @arcjen02, @traba-emo, @opportunity4u, @bluetechno, @tronthetechie, @samiwhyte, @cinelonga, @chieppa1 , @jasonshick, @phgnomo, @rival, @gauttam, @underground, @diana01, @valth, @leahlei, @amoshaley, @clweeks, @fishyculture, @acdevan, @shencoin, @madlenfox, @robrowe, @hornblende, @droucil, @stackin, @regards, @steemitpatina, @wdougwatson, @kingyus, @olyup, @romaincrx, @slider2990, @aboutyourbiz, @shreetbn, @adnanrabbani, @bitland, @fabiocola

Thanks for all of you and for your support. You are my inner circle and the people that I want to help the most. Most of you do not have much SP and my goal that is through genuine interaction with you and my upvotes that you can make the most out of your experience on the Steem Blockchain.

You can become a fan by signing-up to SteemAuto and then add me to your fans.

Which leads to the second feature...

Feature #2: Auto-Upvote on Comments

As I said, I don't want to miss an upvote on the comments of my fans while simultaneously prevent abuse. This is why I still review my comment section to make sure spammers and abusers are punished.

SteemAuto allows now for you and I to make a list of people we want to auto-upvote in our comment section!

How I will use this

For those of you who are my fans. I will manually curate a list of people that I consider "TRUE FANS".

My "TRUE FANS" are:

  1. Those who added themselves to my SteemAuto Fans
  2. Those of you who have a track record of being genuinely engaged commenters

I have systems in place to see if someone would abuse. If I get messages that could not be differentiated from a bot or comments that do not add to the discussion, I will take that account off the list and maybe even put on my auto-flag list. I don't want spammers in my comment section.

Rolling it out...

I'm testing this and I'm going to start with a 2% upvote for now.(about $1.20 or $7.80 after SBD conversion) As soon as I am sure that it's working well, I will up it to 4% ($2.40 or $15.60 after SBD conversion)

It may take a little bit of time for me to manually enter and review everyone on my fan list but I will try to get it done quickly. Sorry if you are not being automatically voted right away. There may also be bugs to be worked out on that feature...so please be patient.

Conclusion

For all who tried steemauto new feature a few hours ago: there was a little problem in comment upvoting section and now it is fixed.

He just took steemvoter to a whole new level @mahdiyari. You're gonna be the next bill gate man :D

Dude this is an amazing product. I just looked at the explainer video and I'm totally on board. I especially love the delay post feature as I'm usually asleep when everyone else is awake.

Thanks for all your hard work on these extraneous apps... I've really got to get myself developing on this blockchain. I can't wait to learn enough to start...

Very nice features. Thank you @cryptoctopus for this update. Consider me your next fan!

I did this for a long while before I delegated basically my entire stake to the minnow support project. I'm looking forward to building back some personal stake after a few more delegations in large part to reward my audience.

@aggroed, your services are impressive and i realy appreciate you for your positive support to community.

But unfortunately @mahdiyari is not getting much appreciation for his work which he deserves.

This is an efficient system but it detracts from the whole point of commenting. It should be to engage in discussion first and foremost, not simply to be rewarded for a comment that wasn't even read, and therefore didn't provide any real value. Yes I realise that a lot of Steemit is about social circles and loyalty of upvotes, but surely you shouldn't just automatically reward people. If Steemit is going to have a future this is exactly the kind of thing that will have to be avoided in my opinion

Wow that is really nice. Wish there where more authors like you. :)

After this he will get thousands of fans))

He will own the whole steem community hahaha

@megavip nice nice good thanks..

by using this steem auto people have a good setting they can get a good income in term of curation reward this is really nice site

@cryptoctopus, great innitiative through this app, you are always doing nice job for the development of community. i always impressed with you because i see on your post you rewarded mostly every commentr. "SteemAuto" is no doubt wonderful feature you launched with thanks to its programmer @MahdiYari and now you helped the real workers. I try my best to get place in your steemauto fan list. Thanks for updating useful and informative app.

Hey dear @cryptoctopus First off Congrats on adding a very smart and helpful feature. This will definitely save time and increase followers. Also you will get accuracy in the comment section.
A big thanks to @MahdiYari for developing such a cool feature SteemAuto
I am going to join this awesome feature. I know I'm comparatively a new follower of yours but I will prove my loyalty in very short time. All the best for this new addition for community and Stay blessed !

Awesome idea @cryptoctopus ! I've just joined @SteemAuto and became your fan, haha. The automated voting would have been taken care of either way by the SteemVoter tool but meh ... and also followed your curation trail, if that helps.

As mentioned yesterday, I always followed your posts, and I enjoyed and found them useful every damn time. Thanks for your work, and I am glad to join your "fan base" (sounds silly, teenage girl-like) :))

PS: Looking forward to more ideas such as this one (maybe I will use it for my blog someday) and also more ideas on SEO for Steemit posts - those are amazing!

Quick question. When joining did SteemAuto asked for your active key?

It did - use SteemConnect it's secure, I've been using it to connect to different tools for months now :)

How much time did you wait, so your account is unlocked. It is been more than 10min and I still can not upgrade my account. What am I doing wrong?

Never mind. I am IN:).

hope we are in ur good comenter list bcz we also in ur fan list and my thought on this is that u choose steem auto is good work bcz many of people i see dont read post and only coments and this tool is best for to seperate all of them good and abusers @cryptoctopus

I'm so glad some people are appreciating their fanbase and trying to reward people who read their articles :) Maybe I'll start using same approach when I start getting 100 views per post :D

Wonderful idea, definitely have to try this out in order to reward my closest followers.

I'm definitely becoming your fan. You are one of the earliest Steemit guys whom I found provide extremely useful content and not of those...."please follow me and I'll follow you back" kind of author. I'd say that your blog made me learn so much more about Steemit. Then again, I'm still fumbling about on the Steemauto platform. Doesn't really seem all that user friendly....

Yay, I'm a "true" fan!

More seriously though, thank you @MahdiYari for all of your hard work on this, and thank you @cryptoctopus for not only plugging steemauto but for trying to encourage people to be more active on steem in general.

I've got plans to use autosteem to follow all of my favorite creators that consistently make good posts.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

You are doing a great work to uplift this community, I will resteem it so that real engaging people also get benefit and upvote for @mahdiyari

loved the concept and i love to be one of your fans.
Thanks @MahdiYari for working so hard to make this.

I'm not old enough here to be a true fan of anyone but I have recently read quite a few articles from @hitmeasap @fultimegeek and @taskmaster4450 in the last two days talking about the importance of comments.

If your that busy automation makes sense and I'm sure your true fans will appreciate it but don't forget the personal touch.

Wow, are you saying all I need to do to game the system and get free whale votes is consistently interact with other individuals while contributing to the discussion in a meaningful way? /s

Tools like this improve Steemit for everyone involved. You curate a collection of loyal followers who know that their participation will be rewarded, and the comments section of all your posts becomes much higher quality.

Take your time @cryptoctopus.

What you are doing here is wonderful and I only hope that other Whales take a similar approach. You desire to help others succeed is the true spirit of Steemit. We do not need to be greedy...that is for the bankers.

Success for one on here comes from the success of many. Our true currency is upvoting. That is what we truly have to give. I appreciate what you are doing for others and will do my part to be part of the team.

You have my full support (and 100% upvote).

Thank you for leading by example.

Thanks man. I really appreciate your support :-)

Anyone doing what you are doing....looking to spread the wealth around steemit gets all the support I can give.....

We need 25 more like you.

As soon as I reach the reputation that you have, I will also think on this kind work that helps the steemiams those are really working hard. Thanks for guiding and helping us grow on this platform.

that's great...do ..get followers.
and carry on.
thank's for sharing..

I wll become ur fan first....after dat i will use dis settings..ny wy very intersting thing u hv post

I think it’s a great way to promote more engagement with your followers!

Do I have to make a separate user on SteemAuto or can I log in with my Steemit credentials? Also, Is it free?

Wow! Another day in STEEMIT and another thing I didn't know. Trying to keep on top of voting seems hard but I always try to vote at least 10 times a day.
I think I could do with SteemAuto as my account grows.
Thanks for the read.

Nice post.i always follow your post.resteem done.

Sounds great! Just keep adding people to that list as time goes by.

I thinks its good, I appreciate your support! thanks your update information
@cryptoctopus

Hello @cryptoctopus ... I'm already following you, I wish there was feedback to follow me. because I am new at steemit so please help.
permission right I share posts you.

Wow this is helpful thnx for sharing needed this info.

This sounds very exciting and is a great opportunity for those, who don't have many followers and SP yet, just like me. I'm looking forward to it :)

I read about you yesterday that you rented SP just to reward your fans and I was immediately inspired. I just signed up on Steem Auto and following you. I just have a question. People I would follow on Steem Auto will automatically get my small upvote, right?

i hope one day i get many followers like you

Set you up on Steemauto. I've been following you when I can ever since you started talking experimenting with SEO months ago. I may not comment on every post as the hours I can put in are limited, but always love the content you put out and the value you add to the Steemit community.

This could be a good thing for people who have a lot of followers. I could see this freeing you up to create more great content.
I'm a recent follower, but I do like what I see.
Keep up the good work.

thanks! i would really see me using that.

This is a wonderful way to "lead by example." I HATE bots voting, there is no curation at all that way! But I do understand there are only so many hours in a day. This is a lovely attempt at finding a balance and I will attempt to emulate it as I get more clout here.

Big shout out to @MahdiYari & @cryptoctopus this looks like a very interesting project indeed and this is what the community really needs , is this in beta ? is it possible to use this now ? thanks for the info looking to try this asap

@cryptoctopus - Sir this is a wonderful idea... I'm one of your true fan, so I want to be there too Sir... I will try SteemAuto to join your fan club Sir...

+W+ [UpVoted & ReSteemed]

Really great post . I like ur work and ur support to other in this era u look the people who is following u and comment on ur post its very good i like ur thinking .yes i want to be become of ur fan

yes you correctly said @mahdiyari is very nice and hardworking person ...and lets have cheer up for him and thank you @cryptoctopus too..

Have a great day

Yes!i want to become a fan. I will not be using autosteem for my stuff yet though. I only get around 1-5 comments per post and will continue to upvote them manually. Seeing all this automation kinda scares me( not because of you). I feel like people will take advantage?

It's an honor to be mentioned in your post as a True Fan. As I just got to know how to check my "mentions". I'm so happy to see my username on your post. 😁@cryptoctopus

You have good ideas here. I started following you. I'm not sure if I will become a fan yet. I will see the other articles first and make the choice after that.

yeh, very great idea friend. a lot of thanks for share this post @cryptoctopus

This will probably provide genuine people who have read the post to earn the curation! Better quality feedback will also start appearing!

Well, there always comes a time when the inbox of artist, writer, blogger, actor becomes more then they could ever hope to reply to, let alone read.

Yes, you will lose the "personal touch" but if it is beyond personal doability, you got to do it.

These look like some excellent tools.
I hope @MahdiYari will continue improving them.
And, as a person who has been in @MahdiYari 's shoes, feedback is really really important. Wants to know what works well, and what fails big, and what kind of dream you really envision (for the tool)

after reading some of your post... i knew you were the 'ish that's why i had to follow you. OK for the newbee like me part of what you said is kinda....not easy to understand but all in all, i was able to pick that your trying to be considerate to your 'true fans' and share some SP around, weldon!! you really are the 'ish..!

I become your fan. I already read about it in @stackin blog, but had some problems whit signing, since I am newbie. This is great initiative and big thank you to @MahdiYari.

Nice, I made the inner circle haha .... Going to do the same and get more fans! THANKS BOSSMAN :)

I want to become your fan sir!!!
This is very nice setup you are taking thankyou sir,this is very good for newbies....xtay blessed

This is a good apps probably for dolphin and whales while we minnow will have no hard time reading through our 2-3 comments on our post lol.

It is great to see a lot of apps currently being build to make the ease of use in this platform.

Sure I'm your fan already and I enjoy every bit of your post. Self explanatory and bringing up discussions for the audience.

I don't have enough steempower, my upvote is still Worth $0.01 but I can still try my best to add those who comment on my post regularly, for the bot to auto upvote them when they comment.

with time, you will. Especially if you keep leaving good comments like you do :-)

really nice

Lovely work friend

I can't remember which post of yours I found that made me decide to follow you @cryptoctopus but obviously my good taste has prevailed once again. 😀
Seriously though, I will use your upvote love for good.
As far as I am concerned these big money upvotes are perminant delegations. As such, they come with a responsibility to the community.
I'll convert it all to SP and spread the love.
I'd like to encourage others on the list to do the same.

This is a platform to spread abundance and this is how we will do it.

Thanks for the post.
Thanks for the love.
Keep Steeming!

Thanks man. That's an awesome attitude to have.

Thats really interesting. Makes you know who your real followers are. Thank you for sharing :)

With the flow of comments on each of your posts I could imagine how hard it would be to read all of them so I am only supporting this idea. Make Steem easier for yourself to be able to interact more with people.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I was really enjoying your posts. You have a baby on the way, you can compliment your lifestyle with steem, and on top of it all, you give awesome crypto advice.

Then I saw your post, about signing up for a (something I don’t really understand) and I clicked on the link and almost signed up - but it asked me for too much information.

Good luck with your exclusive club. I’ll be over here being a regular reader and commenter ‍♀️(That is not the emoji I used - but I like the translation)

Hello @crytoctopus
This is a great one
As a fan already, I'm looking forward to your blogs, not just the upvotes.
I'm looking forward to interacting with you through my comment and maybe in the future beyond comments to steemitchat or discord.

I don't have much SP to apply similar approach now, but i love the bot, i'm currently upvoting comments manually, as soon as my SP grows or luck finds me and my community with delegation, i will definitely use the same method.

Wow, nice post

Hey! What does "after SBD conversion" mean? I thought if a post was 50/50 the coin with more value was paid in less quantity, i.e. 1Steem + .3SBD ... Or how is it? Am I doing wrong by setting my posts at 100%SP if the SBD is higher?

Btw I am going to check that request because I am a web designer n.n thanks for mentioning it!

The comment function is indeed absolutely marvelous. Have you checked my 1UP project? We will integrate this trail into Utopian, Steemit and Busy.org as a new upvote button for trails. i would love to discuss this with you on Discord since you seem to be a master in curation and this is going to be a big thing. :)

A helpful feature to save time and effort. It is good an author like you always returns the favor to your loyal followers.

Already a fan. I do think there are upsides and downsides.

I ran a test on my Instagram with a decent following rewarding people who commented quickly and consistently with some depth on any post I made and tagged with a particular tag, It often felt very fake though so I shut it down.

I think the biggest issue for me was I only wanted praise on my photography if it was genuine...so it messed with emotions and thus didn't work out well for me.

I’m still very new to Steem and I’m finding out new stuff everyday. This app seems like a pretty good tool to have. Thanks for sharing and I’ll be sure to check it out.

You’ve got a great approach showing your most loyal fans that you really care about their oppinion and rewarding them for being true followers. Steemit needs more users to contribute to the community not only trying to squeeze some upvotes and not even reading any piece of content or comments. Real community means interacting and helping each other.

Your articles seem to be pretty rockin' so I've been a fan for a little bit... I've learnt heaps from your articles.

I've always been put off by SteemAuto...(actually.. I think I'm always put off by those drawing videos because they were always used by Internet guys who would draw you in and ask for a trillion dollars for their big secret).

I did just notice now that you can schedule posts which is something I've been really keen on... so I really think I'll need to look into it now. Thanks again!

This sounds like a great idea, I'm surprised I didn't hear of it before. I'll be keeping an eye out for this project moving forward.

This seems like a very nice feature to have on Steemauto, @cryptoctopus! I became a fan when you wrote about it a few days ago, and I think this is a nice way to reward your fans even when you don't have time to read and upvote hundred of comments yourself.

I do indeed hope I am able to use this feature myself, because that would mean that I would also get hundreds of comments on my posts. However, right now I'm looking at something like 10-30 comments on each post, so it's still easy for me to upvote all good comments manually, as well as reply to most of them. And I hope that I'm able to keep doing this even if I get lots more comments in the future, because interacting with other people is really the best part about this blockchain :)

It looks great innovation that made @mahdiyari and is an excellent gift in this Christmas @cryptoctopus for your fans I'll start using it

I still dont have many followers, but this is something to try on the future.
The best thing about what you are doing i that you try to filter the spam and shitposts.
This is what this platform is about. Reward people that make real good contributions, not only for steemit itself, but also for a better world in general.
The steemit system have a potential to weed out the bad and greedy people, because, if used correctly, the rewards will only go to those that have something to add in a discussion.

Hey @cryptoctopus
Every time you posted wonderful article. Regarding this post you wrote amazing and beautiful steemians. Keep sharing informative idea and stay blessed
Steem On

Even with the cool new toys from @mahdiyari your work load has to have increased, or will increase some with this project. Know that your efforts are appreciated. And I hope you see the fruits of your labor soon too.

Thanks man. I think it will make my life much easier.

Great Post.
I'm new here. I started following you. I'm not sure when I will become a fan.

Congrats to @MahdiYari upon completion of the Steem auto :)
And glad to see the list hope will get into the list in the upcoming posts !

Thank you for sharing this two new features ! Will definitely follow the steps on my steemauto account.. I am your fan @cryptoctopus ! ;-)

very good
greetings

I'm still quite new in this community. most of the time I spend reading interesting articles and trying to support their authors. My voice hardly gives anything, but that's all I can give. you are one of those people who write really clever things and try to teach others. This is of great value to me. I'm happy to follow you, primarily because you are useful and appreciate your fans. Thank you for attention

You are very considerate, my friend. it will really contribute to the undeveloped. I want to be a little stronger and act like you. I liked this idea very much. I appreciate my friend

cool let your followers enjoy :)

i just missed the opportunity damm

its makes me sad to know i am not your fan :(

had many problems joining that don't know why doesn't matter if you up vote or not happy to be around steemit :)

two seriously awesome features can't wait to try it on

Remarkable,
This is a great product and amazing and useful. Thanks for your great support @cryptoctopus. This is an amazing product. Thanks for all your hard work, I really need to develop myself on this blockchain. I can not wait to learn to start. I hope many writers like you. thanks.

I appreciate folks who comment on my posts and I've been rewarding them with 20% upvotes for quite awhile. Mostly, they are people that I've connected with consistently over the long run. But I've been happy to reward new folks, too (but not junk comments, for sure). I signed up for SteemAuto and I've created my own list of consistent supporters. Thanks! This will help a lot. It's so disheartening to miss the comments of people I know and appreciate!

Njce feature. I can only imagine how hard it is to go through all the comments while making interesting articles at the same time.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

This I would say superb! What you are embarking on is gonna be amazing. And by the way I can't just wait to be your fan. And definitely emulate your courage and generosity. Though am a newbie.

This is a great innovation @cryptoctopus. This is really going to motivate more people in the community. It will be a good thing if there are more steemians that can adopt this approach to help others. Well-done. You are the man. #OWB

I am starting a blog about life from a Christian's perspective and how uneasy it can be growing up in a Christian family.

Thanks for the briliant guide, I hope that steemit utilities will help me reach many users with my blog posts.

God bless,
Martin.

@cryptoctopus,
I will try this again tomorrow! Once I tried but got an error! I will try again!

Cheers~

thats amazing :)

This is really nice tool. I am using a similar auto voter to vote on posts by those I deem regularly top quality and who I want to support and succeed in steem. (btw you are on that list :) Will this steemauto be available to us to use? I'd love to use it to autovote my top commenters. Side note: Is there a similar tool that helps us see who are our top curators?

This and your other post regarding making your own blockchain based website has got me hooked already. Signing up for SteemAuto.

am new here, and what i just read is amazing, please how can i be a fan of yours.... thanks for helping

what a fantastic incentive, I have not seen too many people so wiling to help the new people to grow. By helping us it makes it possible in turn to help others again. I know this post is over a month old but hoping you will see this comment anyway, I wish there were more like you on this platform to help us in order to help other. "pay it forward" is the way ahead! A big thanks and much gratitude are in order.

Those are two best features added good work done !!
This will help both the content creator and the commenters :) very nice
Cheers
