RE: Upvote Buying & the Steem Power Snowball Effect
So, this is a somewhat embarrassing question and I might be jumping the gun a little bit, but, I tried out smartsteem and I seemed to run into the exact issue you proposed :/ My first send worked great, but then as I accidentally sent two requests for .25 SBD worth of upvotes in succession, one was returned to me while I am still awaiting the votes from the other. It's been a few hours now; should I expect them to come in still? Or for a return?
Not to bug you, but one other question. I transferred 2.5 SBD to my balance on their website, yet when I afore-mentioned buying votes from them; it was going to steemconnect and coming from my wallet. I couldn't figure out a way to take it from my balance. Any experience with this?
Sorry to barrage you with questions, briggsy. Since you were my most recent interaction regarding smartsteem, however, I didn't know who else to ask. If you see this and get back to me, well, thank you :)
that's the only downside of smartsteem, it comes from your wallet each time.
They also have a built in system the sends your money back if your current bid is still in queue, a system that minnowbooster hasn't implemented yet to my knowledge, and I won't be using again them until they do.
I've seen a bid in queue for a while some times before I get upvotes with smartsteem. If you go to your profile on smartsteem, it will show you a history of your upvotes, how much you received and how many votes.
Yup, it did go through, it just took about 12 hours. I was only concerned because nothing actually appears in the history until history, well, has happened. So it seemed to just be lost. I ended up joining their Discord shortly after I left you that comment and found that a lot of people were actually having the same issue, so I waited it out. Thanks for getting back to me though.
I don't entirely understand having a SBD balance on smartsteem if you can't use it for votes. oh well though, I guess I'll send it back to my wallet
