TransparencyBot is presenting information that IS available on the blockchain, but NOT otherwise available on Steemit.
Transparency allows all of us who care about this platform to know what is going on, directly see how it affects us, become more educated as to what can be done and then; hopefully, act in a way that protects our platform for years to come.
@TransparencyBot needs your help, this must be a community effort or it WILL fail.
This is a non-profit initiative, all funds received by or delegated to it will be used directly for this mission only. No one, including myself is being paid for any service or product. Please consider supporting it by upvoting this post and/or the comments left by @transparencybot.
As of 4/18/18, @transparencybot will begin upvoting random posts that use the #nobidbot tag and have not used bidbots on the post.
The number of random votes it does per day depends entirely on its remaining voting power. Later on, a filter to select only authors with reputation's of perhaps 60 (or 50) and below may be incorporated, but for now it is wide open.
If you would like to delegate directly, you can do so by clicking on the following links. You can remove your delegation at any time.
Be sure to leave at least 50 SP in your account.
50SP 100SP 250SP 500SP 1000SP 5000SP.
How does transparencybot use its voting power?
@Transparencybot along with a continuously growning support base upvotes the comments its leaves to keep them visible. It does not vote on any of the @bycoleman accounts.
In addition, if transparencybot does not need to use its VP in upvoting its own comments (because someone downvoted them.), then is uses its VP to randomly upvote Steemians' who have used the #nobidbot tag and not used bidbots on its post.
It is a non-profit initiative and much like the March of Dimes or Steemcleaners, it of course relies on donations. These funds are not distributed back to its owners or delegators.

How does bycoleman use his voting power?
I @bycoleman, in conjunction with @botreporter, currently use 100% of my voting power to upvote random Stemians who do not use bidbots on their post. Click here for upvote report.

If you believe in transparency, then help this bot spam your threads with useless comments? I believe that there should be redesigns and education, but that doesn't include leaving unsolicited comments under my posts with information that people can easily see by checking the voters.
Why did I downvote you? Because you spammed on my post. It has nothing to do with my position on transparency.

My campaign started with this article dated 2/6/18 and continued forward with multiple articles that used bidbots and futher exposed how bidbots could be used to bring ANY article, both of high quality and low, onto the trending list.
It reads:
No really, this is a post on nothing of use, not anything in particular and certainly nothing worth upvoting.
But it may well serve to be a very useful tool in demonstrating some of the techniques used by many Steemian's, whales and minnows alike to grab a few (or a lot) of votes for rather marginal or useless articles.
If you have ever wondered why some articles you read and some authors you run across have SO many upvotes and so many followers, well stay tuned --- I'll be exposing some of these techniques is the days ahead.
All profits for the article and the remaining articles using bots were donated!
@Transparencybot is a continuation of the campaign by many to bring quality back to the trending list.
