Steem Power Delegation has become too expensive

Hello everyone,
Bringing some bad news to the table today. As you are all aware the current price of Steem has caused some issues recently. The price of delegation has however not decreased. This means that as of now, delegating steem power is unprofitable.
For a 10 000 SP delegation, it would cost 66.667 STEEM per week, and that 10000 SP delegation would bring in roughly 42.667 STEEM per week. This means a loss of 24 STEEM every week for every 10k SP delegation.
(The above is assuming the price is 150 SP per STEEM per week. Average price is even worse)

So as you see, it is unsustainable to run a bot currently on delegated SP. I currently only have 3000SP saved up with which gives roughly $0.38 Upvote. My best chance to keep this bot running is to wait for my delegation to run out and simply use that 3000 SP to keep the bot running at the much lower $0.38 upvote worth. That is unless anyone here feels like delegating for a share of the profits rather than a set amount.

So if anyone would like to invest a large amount I'd love to agree on a 50% share of the profits. But otherwise I will run with my own 3000 SP at the lower $0.38 upvote worth. Apologies for any inconvenience.

but I did get no upvote or refund.
Here is the transaction to proof that I did send you the money:

can you please refund.

Hello,
Sorry about that, had some major RPC node issues yesterday. Generally it'll switch over to another RPC node when one stops working, but yesterday all stopped working for a good while.
Provided refund!

I sent you 0.01 SBD but my post is not upvoted by you

Hello ghlove,
You received a refund as soon as payment was received as I had low voting power at the time.
Kind Regards, UpvoteWhale.

Hi @upvotewhale I'd sent to you 0.005 steem but still I recieve nothing. Hope you can work with it.

Hello chadee,
please check the screenshot you sent. You receive a refund as soon as you sent payment. I had low voting power at the time, sadly it does not show in the screenshot you sent but refund was sent with memo "Low voting power. Please try again later."

If this happens it means I'm currently low on voting power and waiting for it to regenerate. This can take up to 30 hours.

Okay I understand

Good Job upvotewhale...

Please, fix it

Honestly I can't do much more than apologize and provide a refund. I'm having automated vote worth calculation being programmed as we speak but it's taking time. While that is in progress I unfortunately cannot do much more than provide refunds in the event of wrongful voteworth calculation.
Apologies again, refund has been provided.

Thanks, though I didn't mind much about 0.3SBD, it's much more important to know that your service is up and running, sorry to hear you have such issues.
Your upvote service is the best one currently, hope you'll solve all problems soon :)

Thanks for your kind words. I'll have it solved soon enough. I can't imagine it will be more than a few weeks. In that time I hope that crypto begins to recover as well. This'll make my bot start being profitable again and I can start getting large delegation again. Just have to hope everything goes smoothly!

@upvotewhale where would i know the calculation ?

I can't share the actual code with you, but please see below example.
Long story short, I set the vote worth, and upvote percentage is calculated from that.
The '100% upvote reward: $0.90' shown on my profile is kept up to date.

Means that if you send an upvote, it is calculated from the expectation that my total upvote worth is $0.90.

Example:
100% upvote worth: $0.90
Current voting power : 80%
Current vote worth : $0.72
Customer sent: $0.05
$0.72 / $0.05 = 14.4
100 / 14.4 = 6.94% upvote worth

6.94% upvote is equal to $0.05. Below factors in 2.1x profit.

6.94% * 2.1x = 14.5%
Upvote post with 14.5%.

Have a nice day!

Hello alfheim, you will need to contact boostbot for help. I am not affiliated with boostbot and cannot help if he steals your money.
I suggest trying to contact @boostbot over text like this and hoping he gets back to you.

Is it ok to contact @smartsteem for this matter?

I don't know if it would help but you could lower the profit maybe to-200% so more upvotes can be done.

It's an idea, I'm not sure how everyone would feel about lower profits but I will keep it in mind.
Thanks Sames.

Good jop my frend
