I just made my first Steemit post since this meetup titled Ultralight travel to Key West (like a Steemian Boss). I used @yabapmatt's Steem Upvote Bot Tracker service to try to buy upvotes. I still don't understand exactly how it works, but managed to buy at least one upvote from @redlambo (which seems to have yield more than I paid for the upvote). Another vote from @smartsteem should be on its way IIUC.
