RE: The Daily Cover-Up - 5/09/18 - Transparency Under Attack.
The developer of @transparencybot, @bycoleman has purchased delegated SP and up-voted his other accounts over the last 7 days @introbot 59%, @botreporter 10%, @transparency bot 12% and himself 3.2% 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.
@transparencybot posts are not directly related to the content of the originators post and are unsolicited, which by definition is spam.
The payouts listed by @transaparencybot do NOT deduct the original amount that was submitted to the bidbot or the amount for curation.
Everybody knows I, @bycoleman have used bidbots in the past, I have stated this clearly on several occasions, In-fact, I have instructed others on how to use them.
The profits from these boosted posts were donated or given back to the platform via contests.
I lease SP from an individual not MB, build team 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.
