Using Upvoting and SP Delegation Bots (Part 2)

(Image by @minnowbooster)

This is a quick follow-up post to the one I made yesterday. I spent most of the evening doing research on other voting bots, as well as delegating SP with @minnowbooster. I'll report results on how SP Delegation works (and how much profit is earned) at a later time - it was very easy to setup by using the process here:

https://minnowbooster.herokuapp.com/delegate

Fill in the form there, then it will redirect you to steemconnect to enter your active key, and the delegation amount will go through. A couple things I found out:

There is a delegation cooldown time (apparently it's one week?) and the exact amount of STEEM that is delegated to someone else is approximate. I entered 100 STEEM when I was going through the process and ended up delegating 101.782 according to http://steemd.com/@trending. Not a huge deal, to be sure, but good to know. I have no idea how much I'll earn by delegating this small amount, but I'll certainly be watching my account closely.

I also found several other upvoting bots. None were quite as good or as consistent or as predictable as @minnowbooster is (IMO) but most certainly present opportunity and profit if timed properly:

https://steemit.com/@discordia (min 0.10 SBD)
https://steemit.com/@randowhale (min 1.00 SBD)
https://steemit.com/@drotto
https://steemit.com/@bellyrub

I'm sure there are others - I would love to see your recommendations in the comments.

One other thing I've learned:

http://steem.supply is a great resource for giving you a reference of how much profit you can earn from a 100% upvote from any particular account (keep in mind you only earn 75% from a single upvote as the author.) Just take a percentage of the upvote amount to get an idea of how much any particular upvote would be worth to you.

(For example, a $1.00 upvote with a 10% upvote percentage would yield an upvote of about $0.10 * 75% = $0.075 to you.)

Between steem.supply and steemd, you can get a rough idea of how much your bid is worth at any particular time for any of these upvoting bots and what your competition is bidding.

I'll post another update with my results soon. Thanks for reading!
