RE: Are you selling your idle vote power through a service? If so, you should periodically review what you're voting on. Do your part.
I happened to be one of your "buyers", even getting an extra vote from you - Thanks a lot!
Kudos for checking everything you vote on! Setting up vote-selling, not caring at all and letting it run for month without a look could be seen as profitable side business as well - with basically no effort. Still you care a lot!
I haven't sold my vote before, so I can't speak from experience, but what's the bot owners position to unvoting "payed" votes? Are there "TOS" when giving your posting permission to them and are you "allowed" to do that? I could imagine they don't like it very much, because the complaints will end at their desk?
I suspect this falls on the Bot owners TOS? @smartsteem @therealwolf - what is the policy here with regards to removing votes issued via smartsteem/smartmarket, like @matt-a is doing here?
Again, i would love to hear from some bot owners here. @yabapmatt?
That's fine by me, abuse the bot systems :-D
Would allow to double sell your vote.
The losers here are the bidder and the seller via curation rewards - the seller also doesn't get a return of Voting power to 're-sell'.
Bot owner still keeps their SBDs.
What I mean is that the seller could sell the vote again, maybe somewhere else. Curation reward once, selling the vote twice gaining profit from two sells. Does that make sense?
The VP is gone, from that perspective it doesn't make a difference if you sell it twice for the same or for different posts. After unvoting you aren't eligible for curation rewards anymore, no matter what you do/vote afterwards. So selling twice is definitely a loss.
Oh, I was under the assumption that you regain VP when unvoting and thought you could reuse it on the same or another post. If that's incorrect it doesn't make sense indeed.
It doesn't allow you to "double sell your vote." Your vote power remains diminished and you forfeit your right to the curation reward. By unvoting, I simply sacrifice that vote power and curation reward. When you unvote, that potential reward is returned to the rewards pool for more appropriate distribution in the entire reward pool's 24 hour period.
