Using @buildawhale is easy:
- Copy the post or comment you want @buildawhale to vote on
- Open your Wallet
- Select Transfer under Steem Dollars
- Populate To field with "buildawhale"
- Populate Amount field with at least "0.10" SBD
- Paste URL into Memo field
- Submit
@buildawhale cannot vote on posts in their last 13 hours before payout
Voting rounds last for 2.4 hours
Votes will be made based on bid size
There are no refunds.
If you send the wrong amount, consider it a donation
@buildawhale can only vote once per post or comment
The ideal bid is 0.10 - 0.50 SBD based on current voting power of $3.41.
Will post an update when the voting power is increased. I am working on increasing the voting power.
@buildawhale, whats up with that?? Your bot ignored me, I will be grateful for a full upvote on the post below to compensate this issue. As you can see the post I was trying to get upvoted was at 15 hours before payout, I hope you can help :)

I just checked the log, when it went to vote out the post was not votable:
"Can vote: false (slug: @morpheus03/y-all-sleepin-on-some-good-music)" }
You can't vote anything in the last 12 hours (I believe this is to prevent vote sniping and is something related to Steemit and out of my control). I don't recommend voting on something that is within 12 hours + 3 hours to cover the voting window (which is 2.4 hours, but not worth cutting it close).

I followed all the rules you mentioned in this post (the post was 15 hours before the payout), this is some technical issues I obviously did not know about. So can I get an upvote on this post https://steemit.com/steemit/@morpheus03/400-followers-milestone-reached-and-start-of-bcc-trading ? So I don't get a bad picture about @buildawhale on the second use. I really want to continue using it and I will try to upvote only recent posts.

It might have been 15 hours, but when you factor in 2.4 hour bidding window and any clock differences, it is very possible (and in fact happened) you would be within that 12 hour window.
I will place another vote in a bid window that isn't busy but this isn't something we did wrong. So I don't understand how user error would paint any bad picture on @buildawhale.
This is not something I can do again in the future.

What means that isn't busy? Thank you anyway. My suggestion would be to send SBD back with the message "Unable to accept bid. (ID:XXXXXX)" like other bots do, I guess this will be not the last case related to this error, thanks again.

I do bounce bids that I can't accept, but I cannot validate when a post will not be votable.
I can place the bid in now but I just placed one in for 0.860 for another user that made a typo. The pool is only $3.42 and your bid is a decent size as well so it would be a bad time to do it right now (for you). I also don't want to inject multiple bids into a round.

It is only a $3.41 pool right now and a few people bid $1. As recommended, I recommend 0.10 to 0.50 SBD. I also provide random bonus votes. I am working on greatly increasing the pool, which will allow for larger votes.

There were no bids in the system prior to launch and used it to provide some visibility. It is not used to self vote while there are active bids.

I just put the same name, it doesn't actually transfer but it puts it in the queue. When I see there is no bids, I make a few bids for random minnows right before payouts. I don't get an error though, I actually didn't know if it would work until I tried it.

The bidding period is 2.4 hours, it looks like you put your bid right at the end of the last cycle. So it will show up in the current bidding cycle that ends in 100 minutes from now (and votes take a few minutes to process). So in about two hours you should see it.

Hi @buildawhale. I sent you 0.5 SBD and you upvoted the post at 9.62 %, which is about 0.3 SBD. It’s a 0.2 SBD loss for me. Is it how this works?

Most of the time you will come out ahead (as much as 300%), but it is a gamble as it depends on how many others vote at that time. Even when you break even or get a small loss it is usually a positive experience as it puts you higher up in the trending and we hand out bonus votes. I am also working to increase my voting power significantly.

I had trouble with your @buildawhale upvote bot. I sent 10SBD and according to the details of your bot you upvoted my post for 22.93SBD.
However, when I look at the post there is nothing there. In addition, you are not listed in the upvotes.
The post has 22 hours before payout, which is more than enough time according to your 12 hours plus or minus 2 window.
Can you look at this and see why your vote didn't go to my post?
Thank you,
