RE: Introducing the Crowdfunded Whale Bot Project
After seeing accounts like robinhoodwhale pull similar tactics and start powering down as soon as they have the steempower (and without penalty for lieing to the steemit community) I'm passionately against this idea. Why don't you guys earn the steempower instead of asking for it?
I see you're even powering down right now on your @cryptos account, so why should we trust you?
It is up to anyone to decide if he/she should trust the project or not, I have been on Steemit for over 3 months and I think I have made enough to be trusted, but again it is something that anyone should decide for himself/herself.
I've been running another bot on Steemit for almost 2 months already - @robotev and it was also targeted at helping users and improving Steemit, though its goal are new users posting good content that are yet to establish their name and reputation. You can check that one as well, I'm the only person behind the project and everything that it has achieved is based on my own efforts and knowledge trying to help the Steemit community. I have even invested some actual cash to Power Up @robotev as well as my main account @cryptos, much more that I have actually earned back from Steemit! Everything that @robotev has received so far as rewards have been reinvested to increase the bot's voting power and that is something that you can also check yourself.
Regarding my main account @cryptos powering down, I'm not advertising it here as the project's account, this project has separate account for a reason and what I'm doing with my main account and it actually Powering Down really does not matter here... does it. Just to make it clear, since you apparently checked, but did not check thoroughly enough... everything that I have powered down from @cryptos has been transferred to @robotev as Power Up... you can verify that on the blockchain. I have NEVER ever sold STEEM or Steem Power to cash out of Steem (I have however purchased some and will continue doing so), even most of my Steem Dollar Rewards so far have been invested back into more Steem Power, most not all as I have purchased a ticket with SBD for SteemFest and used a little to buy a little something that will be used for a review on Steemit as soon as I get the item.
I'm not "guys" I'm a single person, I'm not a whale or someone with an abundance of cash to spend for whatever he decides, all I have achieved so far on Steemit is done with a lot of hard work, a lot of time spent here and all I want to do is give something back and help other users. Again it is up to everyone to decide if he should trust the project or not, I have explained what it is and what it will do...
Regarding the possibility of @crowdfundedwhale account starting to Power Down, yes that is possible to happen, though there are no plans for that currently. If/when this happens at some point there will be an adequate reason behind that and I hardly doubt it will be to profit by selling STEEM. If the Steem Power of the account grows so much that there will be a point in actually powering down, a reason for that could be to distribute the STEEM tokens to users supporting the project as Power Ups for example. Again I have not though about that for the moment and there are no plans for this happening any time soon anyway as this was never my idea to begin with this project.
Well, you can tell I'm a bit of a patriot for this site so far, so maybe I will make another account to act as a voting bot, like you've suggested. I've been on for over 3 months as well. I trust you'll do the right thing, given your explanation. I've just been a bit angry over others not keeping to the standard, so I'm questioning a lot of this stuff when I see it now. I'll support your project with my votes for now - if it's doing a good job I'll start to donate. :)
I respect both of you @cryptos & @shredlord for being passionate about steemit.
Thank you @cryptos for making projects like this, even with your bot that you haven't advertise. These project are what makes steemit amazing and why I strongly believe in steemit. Also if you choose to power down your main account for whatever reasons thats fine, thats your business. Really its only a problem if projects like this and robinhoodwhale start doing it, especially if it for selfish profit reasons. I fully support your project and have already donated. Thanks for helping out the community.
I understand you to @shredlord. It's been very shocking for me the corruption here on steemit for ones who supposedly want to "help out". With all the sock puppet account & projects using good deeds in a selfish way to try to hide their corrupt side by being "positive".
I can under why you are a bit jade @shredlord .
I've been following @cryptos for a while, and his bot @robotev since it started operating. I've only seen @cryptos trying to do good things for the Steemit community. As I've just read this I haven't decided yet if I am going to support/join @crowdfundedwhale, but given the low barrier to participation and @cryptos' good reputation I am inclined to join.
it did?
Steemstats shows that a lot of the 'crowdfunded voters' actually powerdown and do hardly any voting for others at all once they reach a particular payout amount. The power that was given to people like robinhoodwhale would've been better used given to me, cause I actually vote for people on this platform.
There is nothing stopping you from starting a project like that on your own, so why not give it a try. If people trust you enough to believe in what you promise to do with the power they may decide to give you, then you might get support...
That totally deserves a vote...even after 8 months (hey 8 is the number of infinity). I also, do the right thing.
Thanks @everittdmickey for being the first to believe in the project and support it :)
omg is robinhoodwhale devious????????? :-O OHNO!!
