RE: TransparencyBot - Daily Report Card as of Yesterday 5/04/18
The developer of @transparencybot, @bycoleman has purchased delegated SP and up-voted his other accounts over the last 7 days @introbot 53%, @botreporter 10%, @transparency bot 13%, @nobidbot 1% 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 which is unsolicited and by definition, 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 MN, 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.
So if I got you right, you've used bidbots previously and made a good profit out of it, but now you've decided that others don't have the right to do the same? :)
On the nose, @andhovesyan.
I haven't even used bidbots in the last week, yet he still posts spam on my articles claiming that I used a bidbot. I use Minnowbooster for paid upvotes, the very site that he recommended with his introbot on my introduceyourself post. But this is not a bidbot. What makes him think he runs steemit and we should just all change our practices (that he even recommended) at his command? Does he also realize his posts just help advertise bidbots? I stopped using them because they are always overbid now anyway.
