Nop, just trying to understand whats happening here, was thinking smooth will reply. Thought i entered in the happy hour window. But now i found its you experimenting something. I just searched the page with your name. I apologize, i did not know 😕

Heh, no worries. Anybody who figures out how to game a bot deserves whatever they can get their hands on. I think I need to go have a talk with @gentlebot... :)

So indeed i figured it out? Just asking?

I actually am not sure what you figured out. This may sound strange, but I don't actually know why it chooses the votes it chooses. It has a mind of its own. ;)

Its following a pattern. Anyways have a nice talk with him. Good Luck with your experiment. Hope this will add value to the community.

Heh, thanks. I hope it does too, but it clearly needs more work...

So how was your discussion with the @ gentlebot? Can i ask if you know why potential payouts on all posts are showing 30% decrease?
Any idea or opinion? Is it decrease of steem value or actually decrease of steem?

I've been watching it closely, and it seems to be more a decrease in Steem amount. I don't know the reward mechanism in detail enough to be sure, but HF19 is certainly at the root of it. Probably it's because there is a lot more stake voting for posts now than there was 2 weeks ago, and it's been pulling a disproportionate amount of STEEM out of the reward pool.

Gentlebot and I still have some more things to discuss.
