Help us fix a DLease Bug - 200 BUILDTEAM + 200 STEEM Bounty
As you all probably know by now, DLease is an excellent way for those with a lot of STEEM POWER to grow their investments, and those who want more STEEM POWER for a limited time to find what they need.
Especially now after HF21 with the curation rewards being 50% of the post payout instead of 25%, having a lot of STEEM POWER is beneficial.
With more and more people using DLease, we're also occasionally running into unexpected bugs that we are not always able to fix ourselves.
The latest bug is that DLease doesn't report the correct available STEEM POWER available for delegation when the user is powering down. Currently, it overstates the available SP.
This info is displayed on your dashboard under Idle STEEM POWER.
If you want to help us solve this, there is a 200 BUILDTEAM Token + 200 STEEM bounty for the first good solution to this problem.
Please contact @thecryptodrive (thecryptodrive#8144) on Discord with your fix or your suggestion for a fix!
The current code to calculate idle STEEM POWER is:
let free = this.powerOwned - this.powerDelegated - this.poweringDown;
let effective = free + this.powerReceived;
let available = effective * this.votingPower;
if (available > free) {
available = free;}
return ((available * this.steemPerVest ).toFixed(3))
Thank you for your support!

Downvoting because I think with #NewSteem it is even more clear than ever that using the reward pool to pay for Steemvoter subscriptions is not really appropriate (it was always controversial).
Being that the case we may have to start shutting down free or unprofitable services such as GINAbot, QuickSteem, TokenBB etc. We have always done our best to be honourable and run our own nodes etc when our competitors didn't, at great cost to us, we have even taken steps to make our posts have a corporate social responsibility aspect as seen in our footer above with 10% to @null and 10% to @steem.dao.
Our strategy outlined in yesterday's post https://steemit.com/burnpost/@buildteam/buildteam-corporate-social-responsibility-strategy-burnpost-challenge-inside.
In that same post we also laid out a challenge to Steemit inc, which is the biggest elephant in the room and the target that will make the most impact if the community can apply pressure for them to include a tax burn with their programmatic selling.
In that post we highlight that all our services bring in a holistic income that help to keep the lights on during times of low Steem price performance, we are literally on the bones of our bum and now we have to contend with stakeholders downvoting without taking into consideration the holistic picture of our business.
I also urge you to read this post regarding user sentiment towards downvoting and my reply therein:

We all are, but it also makes the challenges of trying to do something systemically good with the reward pool being directed by proof-of-brain and not milked by self-voting and vote selling all the greater. Every bit of payout is precious at this juncture.
I'm not really familiar with some of the other services–some may be close enough to a public service/public good they would be good candidates for SPS or upvoting of posts about them–but steemvoter specifically, I see very much as a service which offers 90% or more of its value to its customers and its customers should be the ones paying for it, not the reward pool. Others may disagree, and they are free to organically upvote your posts. But my guess is that few stakeholders in fact do disagree, or your wouldn't need to rely on the condition-of-service upvotes.
A business especially is more vulnerable because it has fixed costs in USD for infra, if a user is on the bones of their bum on Steem and not earning what they used to is different to a business which can go into the negative profit due to infra cost obligations. Atm our team is dissillusioned that we are being targetted and it is serving to re-inforce that Steem is not friendly for business, we are not in the business of milking the rewards pool for frivolity, we provide value, employ developers, many well known names on Steem started out with the support of BuildTeam.
I also don't believe downvoting bodes well for user retention, if my first encounter with you was a downvote, instead of encouragement and support. I likely would not still be here on Steem today.
Also, I cannot take stakeholders' objections seriously unless they take action against the greater problem, which is Steemit inc's systematic selling. Targetting smaller users and businesses is the easy way out to not have to tackle the real problem head on.
I'm thinking of joining soon
