RE: Steemit Quest For One Million. Time required to build a $1,000,000.00 Steemit Account (Day 47 Results)
@pawsdog waaaaaait...what's with all these people thanking you for a gift? I didn't get a gift.
lol, I gave you 100 percent upvote on the dan comment.. :)
Ah...I would upvote you back, but ... my VP has been monopolized by this ethical voting bot @we-resist has been working on.
Resteemed. Hope that helps you. Keep on steemin'.
ethical voting bot?
It's this bot that you sign up with and it helps fight downvote abuse without using a whale. It's ethical because it's meant to stop downvote abuse, protect minnows, and doesn't use whales.

Getting mixed reviews about it. I think a majority support it because they've been affected by abuse in some way, but then there are some that say we're spinning our wheels.
I think that bot could be useful against the likes of haejin or others that abuse the system, the trick would be to have a set number opted in prior to deployment. Say the bot does not begin its work until 250 or 500 members are in.. At which point, it would be exceedingly difficult for someone to counterstrike that many votes all at once.. If it just goes to work as it is filled, say it only has 10 members, then probably not so effective..
Yeah, that's a fair point. There isn't much use in smaller numbers. We're working on a report so we can see just how many we have.
That would be a good idea and likely a much better selling point.. It would also prevent initial adopters from being punished and opting out for fear of lack of support. I think a threshold of 250 minimum would make it considerably more effective as a pre deployment number.. but opting in that many could be a chore and would take considerable marketing on your behalf.
