Well done, seems like a good way to go from 20 secs to 3 secs (vote limit)!

not voting on comments is the real update!!
thanks :)

That is good. I would also look to put a weekly limit on how many times people can vote, just like minnowbooster does. Hell, I'd love to hog all the votes too, but I think spreading it out among the community is just better. Peace !

@randowhale it happened to me three times. I saw @randowhale is awake, sent some sbd for post. After some time, I see @randowhale went to sleep and returned my sbd.

There are some bugs/delays that seems to take sbd even if @randowhale is about to sleep (and status is AWAKE).

Also, can randowhale limit the votes per week such as 10-20 votes for a single user? The rush and demand is making the INSTANT GREAT service painful.

The changes noted above should address these issues. And yes, there is currently a delay.

Good to hear your finally disabling comment voting...

That's great news! Using boosters on comments is just greedy and not at all good thing for the platform.. Boosts are meant to give you some extra visibility on posts you spend some valuable time and though. Thank you for updating your policies and helping the community

What I find really curious is that your voting range is now 1-5%. Yet everytime I use your service I get a 1.5% vote and from randowhale1 which has lower voting power. Now don't get me wrong, I like your service but since you've implemented that you can give 25-50-100% votes, the voting power that you use for 'regular' votes has become crappy. I can predict that the next time I use your service I get a 1.5% vote that is worth around 0.77 cents.

Which is still a gain from the 0.5 sbd you send to get the upvote. you gain about 27cents. not much but still worth it in my eyes.

@randowhale and @randowhale1 have been balanced out, they are roughly equal in power now.

Hope this change will make your upvoting sevice more faster

good good good baby!
let's rando it!

All other upvote bots I tried are a scam, is randowhale worth it? What is the the upvote to SBD sent ratio after curators get their cut?

@randowhale tries to keep even the smallest vote above ROI, but I'll let the users tell you if they think it's worth it or not...

Ok, I will try it out next time I claim some SBD.
The others upvote is worth what you send in sbd and then they take their 30% cut so I lost money when I tried them. I will never use them again, I swore off upvote bots but I will give it one more try with @randowhale.
Thank you for answering back.

LOL Randowhale is the best, for the low price every single minnow is able to afford it and you get back more.

I cant wait till it wakes up to try it.

It's worth it, it's probably the best robot out there. I've only used it three times, but all of them were profitable.

It was the first bot I was told about but when I went to send sbd to it, it went to sleep. I tried others and they sucked.
what is the minimum amount to send? 0.50 SBD?

Unlike all other upvote bots, you don't bid for rando's vote. You pay 0.5 SBD, no more, no less, and you get an upvote. I use @randowhale all the time and I have NEVER been dissapointed.

I'm about to buy some SBD from and try it out. Two people so far have tole me its worth it.
Thank you for the suggestion.

I have bad timing. Rando whale is asleep when I try to use it again.
Maybe next time.

Good to know, thanks for your confirmation because I really want to give it a try.

Yes, but it's not a minimum, you can only send 0.5, not more.

Ok, I'm about to send buy some SBD and try it out.
Thank you for the tip.

I'm just making sure because I want to try using @randowhale, so you can't send more than .50 SBD? Is that right? And how exactly do you send it, just through transfer to @randowhale and attach your post link?

Yes, you have to paste your post link in memo field.

At what randowhale currently charges ROI is positive on pretty much every upvote. The new changes should make the service even better.

Once I see its awake I'm going to try it out.

Even if you can earn money from the upvote, it's very limited. I believe the real gain of the user is the gain of reputation.

Great decision @randowhale

This is great news for the entire steemit community and @randowhale enthusiasts!

Does Rando have narcolepsy? Every time I've check on Rando this week he has been sleeping! SHEESH!

I interesting with your posting

Randowhale app on google chrome never seems to show him awake :/

I am still waiting when you will wake up.

You are doing great @randowhale
Thank you

gawd dayum op bots

please look for votes from @randowhale & @randowhale1.
I'd looked for upvotes from @randowhale & @randowhale1, but I didn't see them and instead of them I saw upvotes from @randowhaletrail, @randowhalebonus & @randowhale0.

What might possibly be the significance of this? Thanks!

How much do you have to send to @randowhale for the up-vote?

0.5 SBD, no more, no less.

Are you still processing Requests? I have now received upvotes on a few.

No, right now refunds are being processed for posts that were not voted on before the sleep period.

you are really brilliant brother and really whale @randowhale ...... you inspire us all and my little community @steemitarmy87 we just built which is headquartered in kingdom of oceans pasai-Aceh ... our community hope to you and your friends want to be our coach ... our teachers ... also hope to be our donor in every writing contest and hope to be generous in supporting every potential creativity ... we believe you are a very friendly person ... hope someday be close and brothers with our small community @steemitarmy87 ... regard @ academix87

That looks like great changes !
Never used comment voting with @randowhale and never will apparently, now this will all go even faster, cool :)

@randowhale Great day I value all the info and hard work thank you :).

Most Excellent. Thanks so much for the upvotes today. Much appreciated. Get some rest.

Nice update: No more comments is an excellent addition. Let's face it, 95% of all people using @randowhale for comments upvote themselves. There will be much more voting power for the posts.

will you always wake up around 94% VP for the foreseeable future?

For now, while we are refining the sleep/wake periods it will vary.

Loading...

OMG, is that a Hunter S. Whale? Awesome !!!

I appreciate the decision to disable comments voting, this gonna be good. How from now randowhale will be mostly awake.

resteemed!!

I Love the Chrome extension, thank you for making it!!

That is good. keep it up

I sent money for two upvotes yesterday !! I got none can you please look into it !!

That does sound good!

i'm new on this platform it's quite impressive and worth working on. I would like to get my friends to join me , but i would like to know if there is any referral bonus attached. thanks.

There is no referral.

I sent 3 x 0.500 just as you went to sleep but you only refunded me 2 x 0.500

One of the posts now has a vote.
