RE: Could the solution to the Bot problem be more Bots !?
In my long-term quest to build bots, I've spent a lot of time in the steem code trying to make sure I understand the details. Here are my findings on Voting Power; hopefully they can help would-be bot creators: https://steemit.com/steem-help/@biophil/the-ultimate-guide-to-voting-power-with-cartoons-formulas-and-code-references
and what happened? did you give up or do you have a successful bot running? any thoughts about this post?
I'm still working towards the bot. I have all the tools in place, it's just a matter of finding the time to do it.
I agree with your post - you made a really interesting point that I hadn't thought of, that when bots race to get their votes in early, it actually incentivizes discovery of other posts. That's brilliant, and you're right - the more competitive bots we have, the better.
