I sent a transfer yesterday that might have been when you were shutting down? It may have been in limbo somewhere, anyways it was a Colorchallenge - Sunday Purple title. Check it out if you have the time, no problem if your not able to get to it.

I'll give you a vote on this comment to make up for it. Apologies.

It seems same thing happened with me because i sent 2 hrs ago 1sbd but waiting for voting or refund. Generally not happens with Randowhale this type of issue but today happened. Transfer is showing from my wallet and randowhale wallet too. My memo was: https://steemit.com/photography/@face2face/ganges-of-pigeon-pur-never-leave-single-grain-habit-actually-20171015t1538870z

@randowhale, can you vote for the comments?

Yesterday I sent you 0.5 SBD for this
Hey! Checkout blog post on eSteem!
esteem://satire/@pele23/janet-yellen-quits-the-fed-and-joins-the-ny-times
But I already used your services for that post, my funds were not returned...
Can you help with this issue please...

tnx for that, it won't happen again!

@randowhale, I think random sleeping and awaking is not convenient for most users. How about opening few hours in the morning and afternoon with specific hours. Sleep most of night (How about sleep 8-10 hours in specific time to recover 3-4% vote would be better.). Though it will not mostly profitable for @randowhale but it will offer users time to use it conveniently. This algorithm sleep after VP drops to 98.4% will make very random and short, inconvenient.

That wouldn't be very rando would it?

i sent you this by mistake cause you was already voted up it can you please give the 0.5 SBD back

----Receive 0.500 SBD from omar-hesham https://steemit.com/promo-steem/@omar-hesham/make-over-for-steemit-arabia-page-on-facebook-2017916t17228233z---

This is not refundable, please check your transfers carefully. I have voted your comment on that post this time only.

thanks indeed i will take good care next time sorry for disturbing . :-)

Hi, @randowhale.

I have noticed that you are not giving random votes anymore! Most of your votes are 1.51% votes. What is the matter?!

They are still random. 1.51% is just the most common.

How random is the algorithm @randowhale?

Specifically, what's the minimum possible % upvote and maximum, and more importantly what's the distribution? Is the probability of getting a smaller upvote the same as getting a bigger one?

I'm feeling like the percentage upvotes have drastically reduced recently... you can see on Steemd that upvotes of pretty low percents are much more common

Yes, exactly my thoughts.

I am guessing the % is correlated to the voting power. This is unfortunate. @randowhale was the best service.

Hey @randowhale, sent you 2.5 SBDS to upvote 5 different posts and you've only upvoted 2 but haven't returned the other 1.5 SBDs. Are you still upvoting? Or should I expect refunds for those 3? Thanks bud

Hi Rando,

sent you 3x .500 SBD this morning - you remitted only 1

Thanks

Oh shittttt... My bad brother.

thanks, I can see that now. I know implementing the new system is probably driving you crazy. I appreciate the feedback :)

I've been getting about half of mine upvoted as well. Maybe less... Might have to think hard about sending more to @randowhale because I'm feeling gipped ATM.

I think implementing this new system of notifications isn't working - My wife's getting annoyed b/c I get a steem whistle blast only to tell me he's going off line. Rando has been good - it's just this new system has him swamped

Yeah I got rid of the chrome extension. I won't be wasting any more SBD in @randowhale... He peaked and now is on a down trend IMHO.

Hello @randowhale, about 2 hours ago I sent you 0.5 for this post: https://steemit.com/steemgoldsilver/@vegansilverstack/for-sale-3-engelhard-10-ounce-silver-bars-serial-numbers and never got an upvote or a return of SBD. Can you fix this please?

Ohhh shit.... my bad brother

Randowhale after 2 minutes of work
PDDdhRlx3Us.jpg

Oh, i'm so tired...

This is beautiful!

love you
love you
love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am only getting votes of 1.5% wich is not very profitable. Is it such rare to get higher %? that gives me 63 cents for sending 50 cents... Damn, randowhale time will only be interesting again when steemprice rise.

What the hell. Just keep sleeping. Why you got it active for few minutes only.

Your so WOKE dude!

and it has a vote

Wow im so sorry. Im so blind. Thank you very much.

I haven't used your service as yet and am relatively new to steem. I wonder if you could add a link on each of your posts to your latest post about how to use your service? this would greatly help the uninitiated. At the moment I can't find the instructions. I imagine it is just sending 0.5 SBD to @randowhale and including the post I want an upvote on in the memo but I'm not certain. Cheers!

Yes, thank you for the suggestion. We will get a new post put together and start including a footer with links on our posts.

Basically all you need to do is send .500 SBD to @randowhale with the link to the post you want voted on as the memo, when @randowhale is awake. If you're interested in browser notifications, you can install the RandoAwake Chrome browser: bit.ly/randoawake

Great - thanks for that!

With this change, is it like it will wake up after charging 100 % ? Because earlier, you were waking up at 94%. But that did not happen Yesterday. I even posted a blog on this, but did not get any reply.

https://steemit.com/randowhale/@sanjeevm/rando-is-not-waking-up-today-what-happenned

Right now it' will go down to ~98.5% and recharge to 100% before waking. This may change at any time while we test out different scenarios.

what I mostly see with your upvoting, is...that your vote has not really much more value as what you charge for it. At least that was happening in my cases

Well if it isn't costing you then it's a plus, right? And while I understand what you're feeling, it is "random" and as such changes.

Sometimes you get a better value. Last night I got my first big random upvote, 30.5% at almost 100%. If something like that happens once every 20 times you're still making money on posts.

Reckon I'll stick with ole' RW.

haha, 100% vote? Good for you. I mostly get what I pay, or maybe little bit more. But than again, many times the price of steem fell in those 7 days, so I got even less... I think I really have to analyse his VP before sending sbd

No, 30.5%.....at almost 100% power. I WISH I had gotten a 100% upvote. LOL

The new setup I believe they're doing is that he "wakes up" at 100% and goes to sleep around 98%. If so, this keeps the voting percentage up.

Rando now all profits are tending to zero. For my last 4 posts: +0.16, -0.02, -0.02, -0.005

There's not much that can be done about the declining price of Steem. If you're not finding value, I encourage you to wait until a time you do.

Agreed..... Rando will you be awake from 100% down to 98 % from now on ?

Right now it' will go down to ~98.5% and recharge to 100% before waking. This may change at any time while we test out different scenarios.

Why not change the lowest to around 90%ish so people get the max out of your vote. Seems your having alot of up time below 90%. Is this because people aren't using the service as much? With the new account will this matter or are people getting a fixed rate based over the accounts. So you would not need to worry at what your % is? Just sayin because i use your services alot and only around when your first wake up.

Thanks for the heads up, more chance for Rando to get paid for post updates than comments we have to wade through for answers. Why no randoawake mobile app?

Ok thanks ....

It'll average out too. I had 4. lost a little on three but got a 4% that left me a net 1SBD up for the night.

That's what makes it Rando!

Come-on wake up dear.
Whales are not allowed to sleep that longer.😁

Hi @randowhale. I've just submitted a post to you but with my stupid head I didn't check if you already voted on it. I never this something quite this stupid before and I know the rules of course. Is it possible to get a refund? (I know it goes against your policy though)

The post in regard is this one and i've send a payment 28 minutes ago as of writing:
https://steemit.com/photography/@rkrijgsman/my-photography-the-euromast-rotterdam

Voted your most recent post

Thanks! Won't make this mistake again ;)

Good news, hope that novation will increase payout too :)

I tried randowhale1 and it didnt work so I tried randowhale0 and again didn't work.

I am not sure why are you doing that. Your first send was correct to @randowhale. Read the 2nd sentence of this post.

Who knew whales slept so much?!?

Pls how much is the minimum SBD I can send to @randowhale for an upvote on my post?

You need to send exactly 0.5 SBD, no more, no less, with your post URL as the memo.

This amount has changed before but @randowhale posts an update when it does.

Must be exactly .500 SBD or Steem.

Vote me

Hello congratulations you have an excellent service, could you think about make a queue for upvotes for example you know how many customers have online per day they can paid the SBD and rando make the upvotes in 1 or 2 day or make refund. It make more fair this for example today I was waiting for you but only was to eat and rand wake up and quickly sleept

He's added a third upvote account so it should be up much more often. An upvote queue would have a possibility of inducing a lot of unneeded transactions on the blockchain. Not to mention a nightmare for @randowhale because of all the posts that get a bid just before they hit their final 12 hours before payout(no upvotes allowed).

At this point @randowhale should be awake within every 2 hour time span.

Mostly 1.5 % on my posts lately.... so about .64 cents for .50 cents. I guess that's still very good ... 28 % return on my investment but I notice some others getting 5% upvote 2 or 3 times in a row . Am I doing something wrong? Doesn't seem random.

you spend 0.5$ and got 0.64$ = look like your profit 0.14$ (28%) but really you lost 0.02$ +
because total 0.64$ = randowhale get 25% = 0.16$ , you get 75%= 0.48$ so you lost 0.02$
finally if steem prices gone down 5% your reward amount 0.64$ go to down 5%

another thing you got 0.48$ 0.24$ sbd and 0.24$ valuable steem
you need wait 13 weeks for get 0.24% valuable steem to convert for transaction

but randowhale get instant = 0.50$ after payout instant 0.08$ waiting 0.08$ (steem )
total randowhale get 0.66$ for 0.64 vote profit 0.02$ so you lost 0.02$ and randowhale get 0.02$ profit

All bots are doing same null/ promote bot is no 01 Cheater.

This is my opinions and it's the real

Not sure I understand .... I will wait and see what my pay out is in 7 days from these upvotes before I can see how I did. All I know is that I do not ever make 28% return on any other investment in one day ever.

Amen :D

That's awesome thanks very much rando

That is really nice. :)

@randowhale I have used two time this service today of randowhale0 and unfortunately volue value was around 65 cents for both at 1.5%.I certainly dont think its good ROI as earlier I used to get minimum $1 votes.

Yes, you have. Don't waste my time.

Something's not right either with your notifications or mine.... I've gotten two so far this morning saying @randowhale is awake. When I click on the icon, it's been at 99% for two days.

Is this randowhale0 supposed to upvote everyone who uses randowhale? If so, I only got votes from randowhale1 and randowhaletrail. Not a big deal, just pointing out a possible bug.

Randowhale is awake now can i send below 0.5, like 0.3

Hello @randowhale i must say that these two post did not get a vote yet.
And 7 days are over today...
I asked it before but i guess with all the drama latetly that you might overlook that.
You can check my wallet for the payment and search for the vote on these posts.

Sorry those missed ya, I voted on two of your comments because your posts are all set. We had recently put in some changes that will prevent that from happening again.

Thank you for the reply, and those things can happen.
I did not wanted to ask but i was not sure after seeing many members asking , and i saw you replied back.
So i thought, maybe i must say something to.
Sorry for that, and wound happen again.
I must have overlook those votes on the comments.
Thanks again, and keep up the good work!!
Cheers!

@randowhale, i clearly want to try !!!

Can i participate and send like 0.5 steem?
because your status is : Any Funds Sent Will Be Returned

Please don't sleep much it is not good for health @randowhale, i worked 16 hrs and sleep only 5 hrs a day...please wakeup i am new for you.

Gracias a ti por tu apoyo @randowhale

That's awesome. Let's hope there is more Krill for you too, lol.

HEY! Could you keep it DOWN a little? I've got "Enable Sounds" de-selected, but the SOUND still wakes ME up every time YOU do!
But THANKS!

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Wow! Now THAT's what I mean (you just woke up - it's bedtime for me here)!
(I need to save up my SBD so I can use you again)

Those upvotes are coming fast. Positive ROI on average too.

Thank @randowhale!
Smoke less weed if you can, but you are awesome :D

thanks for wake up sir..................

Is there any lease or loan facility for newbies like us , do not have funds to be sent at the moment :) @randowhale

Ok this seems better.

what is this can explain anyone to me

I transferred 3days ago.
I sent it four times, but only one refund was made.

You sent 4 times, one was refunded and 3 were voted on. I am not sure what the issue is.

How do I see how much your upvote gave me? I see you voted me but not the comment

how lol .I gave you 3 links with 1.5 dollars. But what did you give me 0.5 dollars per content.... ha ha ha ha ha... please do something @rendowhale

to my resemblance ... he did not even put me the comment of how much percentage he gave me in the vote ... if he is going to do it is not worth using ... I used it because I saw that it gave a lot of difference ... to win some centavos is not worth it

right

@randowhale hey, I used you on 10 posts but all votes came worth 1-2% that really isn't worth it.

I thought you give votes of minimum 2%, at least that gives roi but 1% votes aren't really worth it. So please have a look at this.

Ming...im wondering whats going on here....

The last three times i sent u money you just sent it back to me. I checked to make sure u were awake and u were, but still i got my money sent back. Am i doing something wrong?

Why you prefer to cast 1.5%(mostly) for me.
It doesnt value for real 0.5 SBD now.
I usually use approx 10 posts for your upvote at a time.

Sir,I always look for your service but feeling upset!now

It's random... And although 1.5% is casted mostly, the average profits are in the tens of %s... Try getting that on the trading market and you'll have a much harder time!

Gr8t! I found you awake :-)

Hi, a few days ago I sent funds for three links and they haven't been fulfilled yet. Please either upvoat or refund (whichever is easiest for you) and thank you!

4 days ago Transfer 0.500 STEEM to randowhale https://steemit.com/documentary/@mandireiserra/awesome-documentary-time-the-marianas-trench

4 days ago Transfer 0.500 STEEM to randowhale https://steemit.com/gardening/@mandireiserra/pumpkin-harvest

4 days ago Transfer 0.500 STEEM to randowhale https://steemit.com/music/@mandireiserra/brain-tickling-music-to-make-one-laugh

I voted on the first post. The second and third post are past their payout period so I voted on your 2 most recent posts.

Thank you very much! Long live Randowhale!

I would like to know what the parameter you used for the percentage of the upvote and also why you did not put me what percentage was granted by you to my post that I see that you always do ... please put the comment in my post to know it because I think you gave me very, very little ... to know if it's worth using your service or it's the only and last time I do it

Great, thanks for your opinion. Maybe if you read you'd understand why comments are not being left.

sorry but I did not see it why you're not putting it ... if you tell me the percentage used for my post here I thank you

thank you for your time

haha, the chrome extension makes sounds :O

Yes it does! If they get too annoying for you, you can always disable them in the options.

No, I love it...it made me smile :)

HEY! Could you keep it DOWN a little? I've got "Enable Sounds" de-selected, but the SOUND still wakes ME up every time YOU do!
But THANKS!

You can disable the sounds in the options.

This is how I have the options set - it still wakes me up whenever YOU wake up!

Can you look in your extensions and tell me which version you're on?

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

v 1.0.3 - just realized I've got two different browsers I'm using it in. I'll turn off sound in BOTH and see if that doesn't fix it.

I'm sure that fixed - I haven't heard a peep out of you since!
Now we can BOTH sleep! Thanks again!

Thank-you.

Thus far since the advent of randoawake chrome extension I think the service is running better than ever. All of my limited transaction concerns have been dealt with professionally and efficiently. If you don't like the service, don't use it. Have a nice day!

Both of your 2 most recent submissions have votes on them. Maybe you should take a look before making ignorant comments like this one. You are no longer permitted to use @randowhale. If you send funds, you will not receive a vote and they will not be returned.

Thank-you.

randowhale is not a witness on Steemit, and randowhale isn't made by whoever made buildawhale. Half of whatever you're talking about above has nothing to do with randowhale.

The fact is that you've been overly aggressive since the start, all while asking for help, when in fact there was nothing wrong to begin with. You continued it with your response of "oh you upvoted them since then" trying to cover up the fact that you're an idiot and you are wasting people's (randowhale's) time with bogus support requests.

The blockchain doesn't lie and there was nothing wrong with randowhale in this instance. Sometimes there is and it's corrected, but not in this case. You got your votes almost immediately after you send the funds, then complained a day and a half later when you didn't look.

Go complain somewhere else.

Also -

If a Witness is "ignorant" and misses blocks because they didn't "take a look", are they banned from being a witness and get nasty comments?

They should be. Producing blocks is important and if they're "ignorant" and didn't "take a look" while missing blocks, they sure as hell will get nasty comments and likely lose votes.

Wicked!

Yes, thanks for the update !

@randowhale, thank you! You are awesome!

Why you got it active for few minutes only?! and why your upvote is very small?!
i hope you give better service rando
All my love

Hi rando, I submitted 2 tickets for posts from 2 days ago and today got one upvoted but the other one passed the 7 day mark so could not b upvoted. Was at 6 days when submitted. Tnx, the money has not been returned. The post: https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@wilx/list-of-dead-and-worthless-cryptocurrencies

Yes,

Thank you.

You said you will be active longer but now you are even shorter. You are active so short. Before 1 hour and now 10 minutes maybe.

thanks you are great
