in steemit •  8 years ago 

Updates have been made to @randowhale, please review the details below. Changes are in bold.

kyriacos

Here's how it works:

  • Ensure the post you want to vote on has not paid out or is not within 12 hours of payout
  • Copy the URL of the post you want @randowhale to vote on
  • Navigate to your Wallet
  • Select Transfer under Steem or Steem Dollars
  • Populate To field with "randowhale"
  • Populate Amount field with "2" (Steem or SBD)
  • Paste URL into Memo field
  • Submit

@randowhale or @randowhale1 will now place a vote with a random vote power of 0.50%-2.5% on your post!

  • Yes, there is now an additional account voting (only voting!) so you may see a vote from either account.
  • This change in voting power will result in comparable rewards to the previous settings.

Notes:

  • Only send to @randowhale. Do NOT send to @randowhale1, this account is used only for voting purposes.
  • Do not submit posts in their last 12 hours before payout - they cannot receive upvotes.
  • There are no refunds, period. If you send the incorrect amount or to @randowhale 1 (DO NOT SEND TO THIS ACCOUNT), consider it a donation.
  • Each post may be voted on only once! Please verify @randowhale has not already voted on the post before submitting.
  • Again, no refunds.

@randowhale hi. It seems this system is becomming less profitable. 0.6% you make losses and the amount of a % votingpower is somehow decreased by 18% the last days. What is the reason? Will you keep it like it is?

How can we maximize profits @randowhale?

This post received a 1.8% upvote from @randowhale thanks to @brothermic! For more information, click here!

Thank You @randowhale for keeping this Minnow in the Game :)

How fast after payment i recive vote ?

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

The vote of @randowhale is now becoming irrelevant. Many votes in the range of 0.5% to 1.6%. Most of it now, is break even in returns.

Would be nice to see it back at least start 1%, don't you think?

Who else experiencing this low returns?

Follow me @Yehey

It is happening but what goes around comes around, the STEEM investment becomes value to your posts somehot.

Onw time I waited for @randowhale voting power to ebcome 100%, I still got only 4% upvote. Whereas I saw on one post it got 48% upvote. But I still use @randowhale upvote when I have 2 STEEM in my wallet. Otherwise I just use minnowsupport on Discord.

@Yehey

Hasn't been breaking even for me last couple of tries, I'm gonna try and use it one more time like @randowhale suggests, a few hours after posting. I like the idea of it but don't have enough sbd to keep wasting it just for visibility..

If you have no SBD, I can push 2 SBD but I checked your wallet you Ave at least 7 so you're good.

Good luck,
@Yehey

ha, yeah I don't want anyone to send me money, just saying if I keep on using randowhale with diminishing returns I won't be making anything, even go backwards.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

@randowhale you take more than you give. I don't like your exchange rates. Will not be using your service until you improve your rates.

I feel your pain omarrium. I just post the same questions, the chance of getting a decent returns is abysmal.

Yep same here my last sbd 0.50% LOL

https://www.steemnow.com/ shows a @randowhale vote @ 3% to pay out $5.29, and shows randowhale's voting power at 46%

You just don't know how to use it effectively. Rates will not be changing. Read all of the other positive comments and you will see.

@randowhale can you please give me some hint about how to use it effectively? Would be very much appreciated THANKS in front!

Use it after your post has already received a lot of votes, but make sure you use it within 6d12h of posting.

after hardfork 19, voting late does not make any difference than voting early

No? Could someone explain the value algorithm for me?

So, your statment means you helpful only for rich guys.... when somebody has a lot of you makes his richer, if somebody has nothing, he take from him $2.00 and gives nothing....

oh!!! this' is so suppotive for minnows... heh... I guess your goal do not serve minnows, but serve only rich guys

Thanks! Will do!

A half vote is around $8, so it's actually a pretty damn good bet for anyone getting involved.

0.5 - 2.5 % vote

That's what randowhale gives. Not a half (50 %) vote.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

A 50% full power - randowhale vote would give hundreds of dollars. By half I mean within half the voting range, i.e the mean outcome given a random vote.

I paid $2.00 when it spower vote was 47% and I get 0.6% = $1.10

funny... whale power is helpful for rich guys, and robs minnows

Hi,

I used @randowhale twixce. Once I got 1 % vote ($1.81) and then I got 1.9 % vote (> $3.25).

So,

I have given 4 SBD and got nearly 5 SBD. I think randowhale is fun and it can be bad fun when all votes are worth less than 2 SBD (which won't happen perhaps).

looks like you are not counting 25% curators reward. You should decrease your 5SBD on 25% and as a result you'll get only $3.75

Damn! @allfabeta I thought I had some profit. Thanks for ruining the fake contentment. Lol

You're good!

I really love this whale, i use the service many times and always you will get more then you pay. If I was a whale I think I make the same think like you do...

I send 2 Steem dollar, upvote I received was worth less than 10 cents.. this service isn't worth it suddenly.. previously worked fine. But it seems like your bot is out of voting power ! Let me know, if this is a problem

Its gambling. Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose.

But this story is much more interesting) Casino can lose money, @randowhale not.

I've always had $2+?

@randowhale I know you have been saying that we need to upvote later when the payout has got some traction already. How is this calculated though? I tried to find it but had no luck. Please respond to this as it will drive me crazy. Need to know the calculation.

Was always my understanding that if 10 people with a $1 vote the post will be $10. But you are saying it will be more as the post payout gets higher?

I don't understand how.

Good news :)
upv and resteem

Thanks, you crazy whale! 🐳

I need to try this :)

Hi @randowhale!
Can my account also participate in the sponsorship?
A good function could be!
Use for voting accounts of those who wish, before voting randowhale ...
Can I participate?

It's a virtual ecosystem of weirdness in here in Steemit! lol. Already I've conversed with bots and now there's whales that aren't random but are Rando. It's all very hitch hikers guide to the galaxy! Love you you crazy people (and random assemblage of virtual animals and robots, he he)

LOL!

L O frig'n L...good one...fancy meeting you here...in the whale crank

I think I'm going to call you @sweetleaf from now on...
...if I don't hear your objection to it...of course...was a horse...
...that wasn't a horse...on the right course! ;p

Chronic Ride.jpg

~smiles~ hows that for cray cray...eh?

oh...right...I snagged that jpeg from pintrest...
wanted me to join to find out who made it...
not gonna happen...but I am grateful to him/her/fitb

~may all hatred cease...let there be peace~

I guess it's still a small ecosystem! I quite liked leaf eater, it made me think of those little leaf mining insects.

LoL...well now you would think of them now wouldn't you. ~smiles~

Actually I was thinking of the song from Black Sabbath's album Master Of Reality

further reasearch @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_Leaf shows this...just a happy coincidence?

Overview[edit]
The song begins with a tape loop of guitarist Tony Iommi coughing from a joint he was smoking with bandmate Ozzy Osbourne.[1] The song refers to marijuana, which the band was using frequently.[2] The title of the song was taken from a packet of Irish cigarettes which said "It's the sweet leaf"."

If you choose to go to youtube..or soundcloud...etc. to listen to it ...(I won't drop a link here...seems that sort of stuff is verboten at Steemit...which kinda crushes an idea of a music blog I had...boo hoo me ;p) don't read too much into the lyrics...after all this is all just a lark...isn't it?

~smiles fer miles~ so @sweetleaf it is then

see ya around the feed...stay safe...be well...

~be~

Okay, you've sold it to me. Sweet leaf it may be!

what do you mean "comparable rewards"?

It means the reward you receive for the vote will be comparable to what it was with the single account voting and previous vote % range. And that is what is being seen at this point, as expected.

Random you couldn't upvote my question after all of my donations :) ? just kidding :) thanks for answer, makes sense probably having hard time recharging :)

Yea, doing whatever can be done to get it higher for everyone.

I will give it a try again, thanks

Thanks for the clarification to supplements.

@randowhale BIG Thank You 4 what You are doing 2 support so many people and it certainly is NOT easy to maintain & regulate Your voting power during the transition of HF19.

Again, Much Appreciated 4 all of Your time & work...

News for users, whale is really becoming a bit dry these days. Not what it used to be before. Randowhale is now at 20.96% Voting Power, and giving still between 1% - 5% per vote. For a1% I received approximately 3.05$ (USD, not SBD) and for 4.3% vote approximately 5.40$, not really what I used to expect :(

Altearnatives are already appearing and will be disclosed soon. Thanks for all this time @randowhale

That is exactly why these changes have been implemented. Thank you for your opinion. Results do vary depending on when @randowhale is used on the post, I suspect yours was used before many votes were received.

I'm not sure you quite understand what it takes to run something like @randowhale, as seen by your post, but look forward to seeing what you come up with.

I certainly dont, I just guess you gotta eat lots of fish to become a whale...

Or, you can do something to help hundreds, or more, every day.

Mh, I spend 20% of my time at TOM makers... I think we have a different conception of charity or help. I literally make arms and legs for people and animals for free everyday, what do you do the help those hundreds or more?

i have felt this .. but, hadn't seen the words !! - ))

you guess? 0/o

looks like you're lucky. Randowhale had 47% power and upvoted y post on 0.6%... which fives $1.10... funny... heh... to get $1.1 by paying $2.00

not super nice hahah

Following and looking forward to disclosure in my feed @jonipilo

~may all hatred cease...let there be peace~

Lovely! Thank you @cryptologyx

~smiles fer miles~

You're most welcome !

:)

Confirming that this service works (instantly) and I am happy with the results. If you pay 2 SBD you are like to get more back from @randowahle vote like 3 SBD or more depending on his vote weight

Thanks @randowhale for sharing the love!!

@randowhale Hi i Just sent 2 steem, followed all instructions...did not receive upvote
Post was https://steemit.com/beyondbitcoin/@live2love/21m-token-funded-lets-go-to-the-movies

That's because you included a bad link.

Oh that explains it. Sorry Im fighting a fever. Thanks for pushing it through for me even though the mistake appears to be on my end. Great customer service! Ill be back for sure.

Thank you. I sent to you 2 stemm dollars, to vote my post https://steemit.com/nature/@photowebgear/winged-fox-wild-nature-with-photowebgear. Thank you.

This post received a 0.6% upvote from @randowhale thanks to @coinant! For more information, click here!

Under 1% you lose money tho wtf

you're so cool :)

& U R just so @dorable !

lol...sorry I just couldn't stop myself ;-)

~smiles fer miles~

Hi @randowhale
Thank you for your efforts to help!

Do you ever upvote a minnow's post that wasn't via this suggestion route?

Hi @ronmamita ...2 days gone by...guess you get less than the sound of crickets

Let's hope I'm wrong...there's got to be a heart somewhere in the belly of the beast...
...there's just gotta be!

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

The only problem is that sometimes people are sending money to randoMwhale :D

For days I swear thats what I thought it said.

thanks for the great service offered! will be using it :D

thank you randomwhale for your work!

Please note, it's @randowhale, no "m".

I was thinking before random whale should vote for random post.

@randowhale is the bomb! Love taking the gamble. When it pays off, it pays off in spades. :)

Important update. Remember this all.

nice work @randowhale keep it up 👆

Super keen to try this once I've had my first payout!
https://giphy.com/gifs/whale-2RKodNw0I8lUs

Hopefully its not too late... maybe sometime today you could show a little support for my new post. Ive spent the most amount of time on this post so far, so hopefully its better then the rest :)
https://steemit.com/steemit/@diggerdugg/detailed-blog-about-steem-steem-power-and-steem-dollars-what-they-are-and-what-do-they-do
Thanks so much, will continue to show support :)

Aha!!! So that's where I messed up! Thanks... got it now!

Thank you @randowhale for your information :D

Thanks. It should be helpful~! :D

love this win win situation helping everyone succeed in steemit !

a bit sad. the upvote is much less than before for the same money :-/ But helping for sure anyway.

OK, I sent 2 SBD and got a vote from randowhale1. Is this it or will there be another vote coming in? randowhale1 only has a very low estimated account value and I expect some real whale to vote for my post.

Please read the post again. I don't know what you consider a "whale" but if used wisely you should receive more return than what you put in.

I would say a whale is someone who gives you 20-50 dollar per vote. I will maybe read it again.
edit: read it, I really thought that a whale would vote for me and not an account with estimated account value of a few hundered dollars!

Learn the system. It's called delegation.

Thank you @randowhale

Good news

This is an awesome option and I'm resteeming to try.

So post that we need upvote should be sent after 12 hours it is made on steemit ? Correct me if I am wrong.

No, you should not request the vote within 12 hours of the post receiving it's payout (ie. 6d12h after it's posted).

Got it
Thanks

It's also in your best interest to be sure you have a lot of upvotes before requesting his services...how many is a lot? I have no idea

...at least this is what I'm taking from studying all the comments and replies here. DYOR !

Understood! Thanks @randowhale

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I send two ammounts 1.98 in Steemdollar and 0.089 in steem. (I didnt have more steemdollar)

Did I screw up? if I did no problem. next time I read better :)

You voted on a comment and not on my post, can you rectify this please? The post was: https://steemit.com/photo/@hotandrandom/my-daughter-drew-me-a-lovely-picture

tbh you will likely get paid more via the comment

It wasn't my comment lol and why would you get more on a comment?

This post received a 4.5% upvote from @randowhale thanks to @hotandrandom! For more information, click here!

Oh in that case rip

You may get more on a comment as less will go to curators.

nice offer. :)

it is great ;) jast do it

upvoted, thanks for what you are doing ☺

Yes! Thanks for increasing interest

I've sent the wrong nominal to your account up to 192,000 SBD should be 2,000 SBD, I hope there is the best policy and solution for me and you, I accept whatever your response, thank you @randowhale

He mentions in another post anything sent over $2 will be considered a donation.. sorry for your loss!

Thanks for the information and sympathy from you, yes, I made a mistake and I hope @randowhale read and give solution by giving upvote to replace my SBD..

many thanks @hotandrandom

Fingers crossed! :)

:))

that's just harsh!

take this brother...may it serve you well

~may all hatred cease...let there be peace~

OMG!!!

What's the minimum and maximum amount one can get? Quite a few people are saying they are getting much lesser than what they paid for

It's not based on amount, it's based on voting percent. And if people are using wisely that should not be the case the majority of the time. I also don't see "quite a few" saying this.

That seems pretty clear and concise. Information received, roger that!

thanks @randowhale for keeping us Minnows in the Game! 💪
supporting your blog + upvoted!

Nice post!

thanks

Hi, I'm loving the service of which I'll be using a lot if you can answer my question..

  • How is it possible for me to pay $2 but almost always make $2+ are you telling me I can make profit by using your service each time?

Did you receive my reply? I sent the URL I would like upvoted. I didn't know I had to include it in the purchase.

Thank you @randowhale

Thanks @randowhale!!

you're so dope @randowhale hugs and kisses :)

Thank you.

Thanks for the help @randowhale

great project; have used it twice at old settings, very happy with results; 100% upvote to keep it funded

how does this work

You are great, guide me to go further :-)

Where do I have to paste the URL I want you to vote for ? Thanks.

In the Memo field

Awesome, thanks for your help.
I hope I did it correctly ;)

Wow I was just reading @sweetsssj blog she is a very successful blogger not only does she have great content and a huge 3000+ following me included but she transfers 2 sbd to @randowhale on a regular basis. I dont have that kind of steem, I want it but not there yet. Is this the secret to success sendin you steem or is this contractual. Thanks for the info, just trying to learn the waves of the steem stream. Newbie, minnow here just trying to get some bait.

@rachgudy I too did not have much at first, but if you post really good and sensible blog posts (and not just an image or a sentence), you will be like me occasionally get noticed and earn more per vote. The most trying time is the initial 2 weeks when you are learning to get to know people, and then upvote and also post really good content that is worth reading; then when you have your first rewards from the 8th day and they are more than 2 SBD, you can choose wisely which post to submit to @randowhale to help you to boost up that earnings with the system provided.
A lot of people take the system for granted and depletes the ability to help along the minnows, so when good posts really need the boost they don't get much.
Hope this reply helps.

very much so..and thank you @littlenewthings

and this is why I sometimes read all the posts, comments and replies
...all the way down the page...it ain't easy dredging for golden nuggets
...at the bottom of the deep end of Steemit...but it's usually worth the dive {:-)>

~peace out...in~

@randowhale how to join?

just go to the search tool (magnifying glass icon) on your blog page and type in @randowhale
you'll find what you're looking for...or better yet...read his/her/fitb post for starters

hope that helps...and good luck!

i found it and did first try for my post, but received upvote only 2%? i was expecting 15-20%
your current voting power was 45% at steemdb when i requested for upvote

Thank you very much for this service and this really helps us spread the SBD around.

It's a good job, you make upvote services to one post, that's very good in my opinion.
Good job @randowhale

Just wanted to say out of your various projects this one is my favorite. Good idea here.

Thank you, appreciated.

Hi, i dont think randowhale upvoted mine, it commented but there's no upvote, could u please check https://steemit.com/photography/@orionsbelt/trip-to-niagara-falls

There is a vote from @randowhale1.

i see it now ,thanks :)

@randowhale I havent received my upvote yet. @jsant72 on the whaleshare logo contest, please check. Thanks

That is because you included additional content in the memo. Please submit with only the link next time.

Got it! Thanks I am still learning. Any body else in your line of duty?

<3

All set.

Thank you so much Randowhale! Much appreciation.

great ..i used many times to boots up my post...going good:))

Oke lets try it! I do not know what is going to happen but i will see! Yep a real n00b ;)

Hi @Randowhale...i sent 2sbd for my post "https://steemit.com/travel/@bikergirl/ride-with-me-5-the-wine-experience-in-india" but haven't received anything yet. How long does it usually take ?

Thank you for randowhale.

You are a generous god

whats randowhale?

Thanks for that information,I'm new to steemit having only being introduced to it last week. I still don't really know what I'm doing so I found your post very helpful.
I will definitely be following you in the future any more tips and information will be greatly appreciated

this is awesome i haven't tried it yet, and i really want to try this...

I give you 2 Sbd, and you give me 3.99 sbd. 3.99

3.99/2(50% STEEM POWER)=1.995sbd -2sbd(I give you) = -0.005 -(Curators rewards) = (-)sbd

So, may this system not for me :(

@sharmin , I have noticed that votes always set it to different rewards, it is not a 100% SBD to SBD in return, because it is voting, not interest rates occurring.
I take it as an investment on my Steem power too, because the more steem power we have the more influence we will have on our posts and our votes for others.
That's just my 2 cents thought...

oic...so I upvoted and commented my rep away here over the last hour...not a single upvote for myself did I make but I upvoted at least a dozen other comments...and made more...and I haven't even checked for the replies to my comments here in @randowhale 's blog

Am I hurting myself, and future earnings by over engaging in the community @littlenewthings?

EDIT: I'll have to check for replies tomorrow...it's almost 3:00 AM here and I've got to get some ZZZzzzz

~sleepy smile~

thanks .... I like it very much. I followed you and upvoted you

please helpe me. and support me

Really appreciate your efforts..
thanks for helping

Ok... so this means if @randowhale loses its power to cast a valuable vote, @randowhale1 will step in to vote whenever we send 2 SBD with posts that are older than 12 hours as memo?

Hey there @randowhale...just had a thought while reading your post by way of my feed...I do that a lot...surf the feed...not have thoughts.

Anywho...you now have 2 accounts for us noobs and guppies...not to mention those who struggle with comprehending the English language. You make it clear that any screw up will not be refunded...which is all fair in the pursuit of
of profit and glory.

I do see both sides of the story here in the comments and replies and I expect the truth lies somewhere between both...and the number 42 (reference to @kate-m who I now like to call @sweetleaf ...but now I'm just wasting your time with extraneous bs...beg your pardon.

I'm unsure if it's in the public domain, and I really don't care how much you gain from your caveat emptor...but have you ever considered creating a slush fund with this income (these "donations" received...read rake) to help move things along here at Steemit as it works it's way out of beta?

I don't know much...but I suspect you wouldn't miss it as much as those who screwed up a time or two in figuring out how to properly attain your services.

I have thoughts of looking further into those (services) myself...at some future date and I trust you're a good man/woman/fitb and wouldn't hold any feeling good/bad/indifferent you may garner from this line of questioning at this time.

Please excuse my impertinence...but I just thought I'd ask. I'm a curious cat like that.

~may all hatred cease...let there be peace~

Interesting observation...this comment I made an hour ago landed smack dab in the middle of the page when I posted it an hour ago. Now I'm down near the bottom...lol I thought I passed myself more than once while reading, commenting, and upvoting other's posts and comments on the way down here.

I guess I just posted and upvoted my main question for @randowhale into oblivion.

If anyone reading this would care to offer an explanation as to how this happened...
...I'be be much obliged...probably even upvote you a puff of steem or three...
...depending on the time of day...I know it's not much...but I like to give till it stops hurting...
...and the hurting never stops...these days ;-)

Thank for you info @randowhale,
