RE: TransparencyBot - Daily Report Card as of Yesterday 4/30/18
The developer of @transparencybot, @bycoleman has purchased delegated SP from Minnowbooster and up-voted his other accounts over the last 7 days @introbot 47% of the time, @botreporter 25% of the time, transparency bot 25% of the time and himself 2.9% of the time.
Producing multiple accounts and up-voting that account can be seen as taking advantage of the rewards pool. One person with multiple accounts may be looked into and addressed if/when illicit activity is noticed.
This information is being presented in the interest of transparency on our platform @bycoleman and is by no means a judgement of your work.
In addition @bycoleman has used the following bidbots in a previous post:
buildawhale for 69.63, $278.52 USD
upmyvote for 25.36, $101.44 USD
minnowbooster for 22.23, $88.92 USD
boomerang for 18.07, $72.28 USD
smartsteem for 12.21, $48.84
Dollar amounts have been taken from the current Steem price.
Everybody knows I have used bidbots a few months back, I have stated this clearly on several occasions. Infact, I have instructed others on how to use them.
I lease SP from an individual not MN, buildteam is simply the intermediary, and they do a very fine job with this.
Yes, I have several accounts that I believe are assets to the platform, which i support directly and indirectly to ensure they are able to perform as they are intended. @Tranparencybot is non-profit, these votes will not return back to me.
I do hope to profit from my other services, it takes a great deal of time and resources to create and maintain these and each of them I believe are assets to the community. Each person is free to judge accordingly.
Is your intent transparency or to discredit the messenger?
I believe most people can see our motives pretty clearly.
He want to be a Steemit hero, and sure he want to make some coins. It is okay.
But there is no mission, we have transparency, called blockchain and a lot of Steemit tools.
He can scan us 24 hours, we have nothing to hide.
But we will not accept the spam comments, because we have a very high visibility.
If he don't respect this, the only way is flaging.

We just don't want to make marketing for your projekt. We don't have something against this project.
But this place is for our users.
We are so strict because we have a lot of visits.
@resteem.bot
I don’t agree with the amount of self upvotes especially the use of bidbots, but aside from that this is a project that I see as neccesary for the health of the platform.
And the only people who see the comments as spam are the ones who don’t like people seeing how much of their payoutnis from bidbots.
I should also add that when I voiced my displease with @bycoleman making an account called @nobidbot when I saw it as a community project, he promptly offered to give me the key. Even if I don’t agree with his methods, I can say from experience that he isn’t simply looking for a chance to make profits at others expense and has his dignity.
Thanks for the support. I have not used bidbots for several months, each time I justified it one way or the other as do each of these users, until I could no longer do so, this is when and where my campaign against them began.
Not sure if you ever saw this.
FWIW, I donated all profits back from those articles via contests or donations.
I agree with @resteem.bot. I support the idea of transparency bot and it's reports. I just hate that it spams up people's comment sections with automated posts which add nothing to the topic or conversation. I don't like when bidbots do it either. That IS spam, by definition.

"And the only people who see the comments as spam are the ones who don’t like people seeing how much of their payoutnis from bidbots."
Bullshit. Everything is visible on Steemit. The most bit bots even leave a comment.
Nobody will stop useing bots because a transparwhateverbot.
By the way his math is wrong.
@resteem.bot
bots commenting on posts when they are used are spam too, but no one complains because they are upvoting their posts. If people don't want transparencybots "spam" they can stop using bidbots.
@whatamidoing
If people don't want spam, they can flag it.

A "dirty" man wants to tell us how we get clean.
