@tipU Investors Report 26.09.2018: HF20 Problems
Hi guys, welcome back after "successful" HF20 deployment. Let's get straight to business ;)
Voting Power Depleted
HF20 introduced a bug that basically made voting power of almost every steem user drop to about 15% levels. You can read about it on the @steemitblog post here:
https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/update-on-unexpected-voting-power-behavior
During the implementation of the Resource Credit system, voting power was rescaled and no scaling factor was added to ensure a consistent user experience. This was an oversight on our part and for this we apologize. Again, this behavior is a one time issue that will resolve itself over the next 5 days.
This basically means that @tipU won't be able to vote for the next 3 days which imples no profit generated for the SP delegators and investors. Please note that almost every steem user and service, including all other voting bots, is affected by this bug. It's gonna be interesting to see how the trending page looks without them for the next few days ;)
There's gonna be some small profit coming from the curation rewards but it's far less (about 7%) than the profit generated from vote buyers.
According to the current calculations, the voting will resume in 65 hours from now.
Swap Functionality
Just a reminder - you can send any amount of STEEM or SBD to @tipU with memo: swap and @tipU will automatically resend you the other currency (STEEM to SBD and SBD to STEEM).
The exchange price is the same as on the internal market as @tipU actually trades the amount of SBD/STEEM that you send (simple trading bot). The functionality hasn't been officially announced yet but it's ready to go - feel free to test it. More info:

New Feature
Investors will now be able to choose how often they want to receive the payouts. By deafult it's every 24 hours but it can be changed to any value between 1 hour and 240 hours (10 days).
To do this, simply send 0.001 SBD to @tipU with memo: pay every X hours where X is the amount of hours. I'm waiting for the HF20 dust to settle so I can properly announce and describe the feature. Of course with voting paused, it won't work as intended but it's good to know that it's already implemented :)
Thanks for this useful information
You just planted 0.01 tree(s)!
Thanks to @tipu
We have planted already 3734.78 trees
out of 1,000,000
Let's save and restore Abongphen Highland Forest

Plant trees with @treeplanter and get paid for it!
My Steem Power = 30728.56
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for putting out an update. I like the swap function. That could be easier for when you have STEEM and want to do business with SBD than going to the market section and trying to get a market swap transaction. I would upvote but I am only just getting to 40% power now.
I Support @tipu and I am an Investor through Delegation. Thank You Tipu for all the you do to make Steemit a Wonderful place to be involved...............
Hi @tipu, I don't understand how an 100% auto-reinvest works in combination with the payout in 100% Steem. Will the the payout be auto-reinvested in 100% Steem too or do I need to invest manually in order to get 100% Steem invested? Thanks for your excellent service :D
Hi @earlmonk :)
The reinvest happens before payout so technically with 100% reinvest there is no payout - only 0.001 SBD to send the message.
So both SBD and STEEM income are being reinvested to virtual STEEM POWER and you dont have to do anything :)
Thank you @tipu! This means that the amount of the virtual STEEM POWER changes according to STEEM price, right? So as STEEM price goes up and SBD stays at 1$ the SBD invested will be translated in less virtual STEEM POWER, is this correct?
Correct :) but only for new investments, the price fluctuations don't affect already made investments.
I am sceptic if the SP issue is solved after 4 days, I just tested and my 100% VP went to 32% VP also today (thursday 27).
VP is no longer valid, you need to check voting mana :)
Thanks for the new features and the swap function. I found it very useful!

Hi @cn-malaysia! Here is your @tipU service user data:
What do i need to make/run an upvote bot like tipu ??
Well, you would need @tipU source code. But there's an open source code for bid bot, you should find it with google.
After getting the code. What should I do next ???
Run it :) are you a programmer? Because you would need to learn python first.
No i am not a programmer and where should i run the code ??
For example ubuntu virtual machine.
Ooo.. thanks man. Thanks for the informations.
