Bot reviews: @MrsWhale bidders beware

in #bots7 years ago (edited)

I have decided to start documenting my interactions with some bots. @MrsWhale was the first bot I have decided to review.

I did all of my tracking of the bidding on the bots here.
I checked their voting and vote worth here at steemworld.org

Her name sounds like she has a lot of power and may be helpful to you, but she only has a vote value of $7.82 and will only allow votes to be distributed after there is a negative ROI to bidders.

When I view her Last Round bidding details after a new round of bidding begins; I find that she pays exactly as listed on the Bottracker website.

Using a bot is like gambling, because someone can vote after you if bidding is still open. Some bots are good at closing the auction when the timeframe has run out and some are not.

The @mrswhale bot leaves the bidding open after the time has ran out ensuring that everyone that uses her services will get a -ROI. She literally won't leave the bot tracker page until she has ripped off her customers. Scroll down and look for yourself, time stamps in upper right of each photo.

Another 36 seconds or 1 second depending on who we use as our time piece. 36 have passed for allaz but only 1 second for upgoater.

Again another 15 seconds

Another 13 seconds and BAM another bidder on @mrswhale 4 mins after her auction is supposed to be done.

5 mins after starting our tracking we find @MrsWhale is still collecting bids....

Positives: upvote reward matches final reward after bidding is closed... cent for cent; good for extra vote
Negatives: only has vote value of $7.82 and requires all bidders to take a loss

Recomendation: Until her code is fixed stay away from this scammer

Stay tuned as I investigate more bots.
I have 2 more reviews coming soon on data already collected.

Let me know what you think or your experiences below.👇

MrsWhale was down for duty earlier today. Maybe the problems I highlighted above have been fixed. I will check it out and let you know.

You got dragonized with 10.00% upvote from @skydragon, courtesy of @royaleagle! See biddings: https://www.skydragon.me ; Delegate Steem Powers to @skydragon and Earn Profits (Details: https://steemit.com/profit/@skydragon/become-an-investor-of-skydragon-bot-service-and-earn-profits).

@royaleagle I'll read every bot review you post. Great job. Seriously I like the details and the opinions, plus the method in presentation.
Ill be short here so i dont chew up all your space. Until this post and these comment reviews I had no real idea how many vote bots were actually on steemit.

It's very sad that you call us a criminal.

The delay you mentioned is not intentionally done.

If you do not know how to use Bot Tracking Tool, you can not make a profit.

Bottracker and our system are independent.

For this reason all the data can not be the same.

The system works as follows.
-Calculating the power of the account.
-If the power is 100%, the collected quantities are calculated.
-Percentage calculations are made and voted on.

The betting delay is on most accounts.

If you are not satisfied with this, you may not use it.

But it is not right to think we will cheat.

I know how to use the bot tracking tool. Read this blog and my other bot review blogs. BTW you are not the only bot that keeps taking bids after the end of auction.
Here is another bot that is also broken like yours

Here are 2 reviews that demonstrate I know how to use the bottracker and recieve a profit when the auction closes on time.

Hope you fix the problem and we can both be happy.

Have a great day!

We can solve the problems you find together.
For this you can reach me under the name of odl.

It's quiet obvious you didn't read my post at all... or even look at the photos you had to pass to comment.

It's very sad that you call us a criminal.

It's sad you don't listen to your customers or try to improve your service

I didn't doctor these photos.
Look for yourself.... @mrswhale stays open after the bidding round is done. Your bots is one of 3 that doesnt stop accepting bids when the time period reaches 0.
Its not a sometimes it happens regularly.

The system works as follows.
-Calculating the power of the account.
-If the power is 100%, the collected quantities are calculated.
-Percentage calculations are made and voted on.

Why does your 100% power lag 6 mins behind when bottracker says you are at 100% and auction is over?
Look above at the timestamps in the upper right corner☝️

Your bot took bids after the auction was closed. I have shown picture proof!

Please look at what I am saying, watch the bottrackers website and watch your bot stay open after close of auction. Fix your bot so that the timeframe matches on bottracker and isnt off by over 5 mins.

I would love to give you a good review and highlight how you were willing to look at problems with your bot. That is what good customer service is all about.

I was always wondering why the bid bots stayed there for a long time. There are a few of them! omg!

I think there are a few. I will try to document them. Not sure if they are unintentional issues with the code, or if someone is maliciously doing it. Thanks for reading my article.
