Hello @bid.bot, thank you for including @sndbox in the whitelist of trustworthy initiatives! We sincerely appreciate it and are humbled to be among such precedent setting Steem-powered projects. All the best!
A pleasure!
I personally have just delegated 500 SP to this cause for now and not because you chose to include us on such a list. I see great value in possible encrypted flags that will allow people with the best Steem’s interest in mind to "safely" battle some of the reward pool’s oppressors. For the current Steem’s situation this is one of the best “solving projects” till this day. I salute you. Let’s see how the white/blacklists will work because that is the core building stone of the whole system.
As you have listed @steemstem as a trusted curation provider I will be increasing your power by 10K SP, from me personally. :)
@justtryme90 A M A Z I N G!
Thanks for that. On behalf of everyone in @Bid.Bot, we look forward to an awesome and long collaboration with you!
If you have any question, join us on Discord
Thanks a lot for your trust in steemstem. We really appreciate this sort of messages one in a while ;)
We @ Steemstem look forward to working with you.
Really? Actually, @steemstem is not really looking to work with me, as I (co-)run the steemstem project...
That would mean you don't work with yourself though.
Do you think I should tell people I use clones? :D
I forgot the "co"... shame on me ;)
Well I like the concept of a promotion service that is centered around quality content creators and not just random spammy nonsense. There should be a market for good content creators to put extra eyes on their work, and one that does it for a fair price. What you describe seems like this could be one such project. :)
Plus I appreciate the recognition for the hard work the @steemstem team puts in.
So, so far... win win.
SteemStem is proved to be a great initiative and for sure the initiative we trust the most! Thanks for providing the SteemStem blacklist. It is going to be integrated very very soon.
Why would you think this is acceptable?
Although bidding bots nowadays are hot topics and many are arguing if its good or bad to the system of Steemit. Personally, I cannot see this as a negative because it is also indicated in the whitepaper of the Steem that if someone are wanting to promote stuff in this platform can buy Steem token to promote content.
Absolutely, Promoting content is really important in steemit, since it needs more share-ups to get to the top of Highlights
Right! @hiroyamagishi
Promotion is not bad and helps increasing the value of STEEM. In @Bid.Bot we believe new experiments need to be made to mitigate the current issues with promotion on this blockchain.
We have implemented several functionalities to achieve that and for sure not the last ones we are going to experiment!
Thanks for your feedback. Get in touch on Discord

If I get this right. All the times I send SBD or STEEM to flag a post, those will be credited back to me and I can use them to boost other posts?
You got it right! :) Credited back as tokens you can use to boost QUALITY posts based on the criteria mentioned in the announcement. If you have more questions don't hesitate to contact us on Discord
Thanks! Are they created as liquid transfers of STEEM / SBD? How do you prevent abuses of the flagging system?
I wish you luck although i wont be using your service since automation of reward distribution im not a fan of. But any improvement is welcomed and should be applauded.
Few things.
Firstly, knowing that "non remarkable" content is the content that fuels the bot economy do you think you will be able to receive delegation and maintain it knowing you effectively cut off close to majority of bot customers?
Do you think the whales that already delegate to bots will care about the ideals you try to follow, or is your delegation target those that have SP but were looking for a reason that can sooth their conscience before delegating?
I fear that would lead to even higher Bot SP delegation and really wouldnt be good at all for anyone.
And also, if someone did downvote me, couldnt i just look at the downvote amount. See how much id need to pay for that, and do a price and time comparisson with Gina info and your wallet info, thus tracking down the downvoter?
Couldn't agree more!
Our automated whitelist counts already 20K members plus all the members who have 65 reputation or higher. Delegators at some point will have to decide between maximised rewards and short-term gains or long-term benefits and fair profits. If our bot gets adopted from the mass, delegators should gain the very same profits or more while also caring about the long-term vision.
We think there must be a change and we are bringing it to the table. The current promotion system is broken and everyone can see that. Whales see it clearly. We don't aim to fix all the possible issues linked to promotion on Steem right now but we pretend to solve the worst ones. Will they get on-board? Good question. Let's see!
Nope. Bids are merged. One vote may contain both positive bids and negative bids against the target post, making very hard to guess who triggered the downvote. There may be cases where a post is both boosted and flagged. If a flag or an upvote is triggered, it will be based on the amount of the positive and negative bids compared.
Thanks for your feedback. Come chat with us on Discord
So that is why you pushed this post to 1k with attempts to use services which you disagree with in the first place?
I find it really funny. It's like: "Case, meet point."
No post by a new user should be allowed to get a boost like that. But it is.
I don't find it funny at all as there are people who believe that they are right even they are obviously wrong.
In Hebrew we have a saying: "The owner of capital is the owner of opinion". They can afford to push their belief and spend money advertising it. I am constantly shocked by the duality on steemit: users who rejoice at every 0.10 upvote because they WORK for their content, and want RECOGNITION, and a group of stakeholders throwing around insane sums that 90% of users can't even dream of.
It's enough to read comments in here, There will always be an individual (or small group of people) who decides what is right and will use their all means to push that forward. That does not mean they are right regardless if they have fundings or not. People behind this project will realize sooner or later that this will not change anything and they will become only one of many hated bid.bots.
Now this is interesting. I like the way you are incentivizing flagging anonymously, so as to help prevent flag wars and to also take some of the reluctance out of using the flagging feature on shitposts topping trending.
This is so good to hear! Thanks! Come to chat with us on Discord ;)
Instead of adding another bid-bot to the over 100 bid-bots & voting-services that are already existing - you could have invested the time and effort into a project which actually makes a difference in addition to being extremely lucrative - like @steemmonsters.

You may have spent some time reading and understanding the functionalities before triggering a comment like that.
Thanks for your time.
Sellings flags is a dead business-model; you should have paid attention to what happened to those who tried that as well.
See above.
Credits that have no value.
aka leeching off from work of others
themarkymark has been working his ass off to create such a blacklist - you're just taking the credit. Good job!
Except we are not selling flags. I still advise to have a look to the post.
Credits that have the very same value as liquid STEEM / SBD sent directly via transfers, which value is determined by the amount of delegation and number of bidders.
The automated whitelist is custom code which is not implemented in postpromoter, if that is your guess. Still, the advise is to read the post.
The blacklists are not based on themarkymark's only but on the official Steemit blacklist which is a combination of various blacklists on top of allowing to add more via a PR. https://github.com/steemit/redeemer-irredeemables
It is understandable you may not know how that works, considering what @smartsteem is pushing to the trending on a daily basis.
Before attacking an initiative that tries to do better, do better yourself.
Can we invite ALL bidbot owners to a discord channel and let them fight it out? I would attend and bring all the popcorn.
@steemmonsters is the best!
If you and the other bid bot owners capped potential losses to 0% we wouldn't need this positive ROI bot. This bot is only needed because of your unethical behavior & greed.@therealwolf
Other bot owners manage to do this (cap negative ROI losses) and actually pay out more money to delegators.
Checkout @smartmarket from Smartsteem.com - positive ROI.
ok thank you, will do.
This sounds like a really cool project. I am curious and interested to see how it plays out!
Thank you! If you want to learn more don't hesitate to drop a message on Discord
So, will anybody who is not on a blacklist and meets your whitelist criteria have the autonomy to anonymously downvote ANYONE they want or will there be arbiters within your organization controlling where flags can be distributed? What if I disagree with rewards of one of the anonymous investors in this project and put an order to downvote their post, will you honor that or play favoritism?
I fear a system like this could lead to some centralization (or just less decentralization) of censorship control in the system. Obviously disagreements on rewards of posts is very subjective, I just wonder if the subjectivity is in the hands of the users or the bid.bot team.
The @Bid.Bot bot does not do censorship in any way for both positive or negative bids. The only scenario where @Bid.Bot may act is by including the sender in the custom blacklist for what we is perceived as severe abuse.
Looks very promising. Keep up the good work! I am sure that many things will be better in the next weeks :)
If you mean overvalued posts getting the flags they deserve, I assume yes! Wonderful weeks ahead! :)
Doesn't this in fact mean that minnows can't use the downvote service?
65 rep or one that was previously upVoted.
That is an interesting requirement that removes a lot of people from being able to use it.
Although I know a shit poster that is at 67 rep who just did 5 posts a day with less than 50 value each so it never got to trending
He will likely get into the blacklist very soon! :)
The min reputation may also be increased over time based on users behaviours.
I'm a fan of transparency but how do I find out if I'm on the Whitelist?
YES!!! GENIUS IDEA! Finally I can flag all the shit! Some light at the end of the tunnel!
thank you good post
I agree with you friend, it seems to me an excellent publication
I do not know much about how rewards and curators work here at Steemit. My opinion is only based on my observation and my own experience. I recognize that I am still on the path that leads me to the key to success within this community. I am not a professional writer, I only publish everything that inspires me. But if I have noticed some post overrated whose content is not bad (I could not judge any content from another subscriber), but obviously there are equally good, interesting and original content that are not taken into account at all. I do not know if the solution is in @ Bid.Bot; Possibly yes. But for now I just wanted to leave my view of the topic on the overvaluation within steemit. Its origin I do not know, but I hope it is not a massive abuse.
There's always a solution if someone tries to find one. We are! :)
Thanks for your feedback. Come to chat with us on Discord
Thank you for that valuable response and invitation.
Can you specify if you upvote for Dlive? I don't see that specified anywhere in the post or comments!
@jfitmisc sure we do!
unique project indeed. very excited to get this. just a quick question how do you determine the quality of the post. is it manual or automatic? thanks
This should prove interesting.
One question, though, if i transfer 1sbd to an encrypted memo, doesnt who i send that memo to still exist in clear text?
How does me sending a transfer to you get encrypted?
Provided i intend to selfvote?
Wouldnt i only need to look on steemd.com/@bid.bot to know who uses the service?
Sure but you send the memo to @bid.bot and only @bid.bot will be able to decrypt it to cast the vote or the flag.
Have a look there steemd.com/@bid.bot. You will see all the memos are encrypted :)
To encrypt a memo you just have to prepend #. Learn more here
If you have more questions don't hesitate to contact us on Discord
Your how to page link is broken.
But not who sent them.
Timestamps are going to be your downfall.
As they should be, if folks could earn anonymous rewards on spam how do we fight abuse?
And, it will be a cold day in hell before @curie gives me a vote, so, i guess i cant play in your game even if i didnt consider it abuse.
Any rewards not voted to an author by a noncolluding other is abuse of the rewards pool.
Any schemes to gain rewards not voted to an author is abuse.
I dont see your proposal doing anything other than rearranging the deckchairs.
Just checked. Seems it is working. Which one is broken exactly?
Of course not who sent them. Memos are encrypted so you never know if the sender is willing to boost or flag a post and which one exactly. This effectively prevents flags revenges and stops front-runners from casting a crazy amount of upvotes on posts that got positive bids.
Not only @curie is listed in the curation initiatives. Also looks like you have a reputation of 65, so you can already use me. If your reputation is equal or higher than 65 you don't need to be whitelisted :)
We'll be happy to assist you more. Drop a message on Discord
Its the link in your reply above.
https://steemit.com/steem/@bit.bot/howto
I see you trying to obscure who bids on what, but i think anybody that really cared to out someone wont have much trouble doing it because timestamps are in the blockchain.
I dont like your scheme simply on forcing the votes i do get to be worth a little less because you act as the bully in the math for your buyers.
When they buy your power they short circuit curation.
Instead of getting rewards because the community wants them to have rewards in the amount the community thinks they deserve, they use you to take them.
When content can't get community votes you facilitate taking them.
Thanks alot, bully.
Fixed. Thanks for checking!
Fair point. The thing is Bid.Bot allows more bids from more whitelisted users on the same post. Bids can be positive or negative. The bot calculates the difference and triggers the upvote or eventually the downvote.
So the community is way more involved than in any other bot.
On top of that Bid.Bot gives credits which no other bot does. These credits are free tokens you can use to boost your posts or other posts when flagging or delegating. Practically we are giving you tokens of appreciation when you care about curating contents via Bid.Bot :)
You'll pardon me if i'm skeptical?
Like many people, I'm not a fan of bid bots at all. But I'm curious to see how this one plays out. I like the idea of anonymous flagging as I think we need more people who are willing to do this.
Good luck with the project!
Reputation is still 25 ...hpw to increase it
I upvoted you. That should get your reputation growing. It doesn't take long to grow into the 40's... getting higher than that takes some time. My suggestion is write some good stuff and get an upvote from one of those trusted curators.
Gran post
this is great and awesome bidbot
So that leaves a bunch of people like me stuck in the middle where, hand on heart, despite the fact I do post good stuff, my path with the 'trusted curation initiatives' have never crossed, and now my rep is deemed too high for them and too low for you.
The other thing re the 'trusted curation initiatives', there are many other established ones on Steemit as well such as the Steemitworldmap. We're the first curation programme dedicated to travellers and are coming up to the 230rd daily Travel Digest. We have OCD and Curie curators on the team and manually go through every single post that is pinned to the map regardless of user rep and focus in quality content only. We try our best to keep a blacklist but there's only three of us, but fair to say we've curated lots of good content as well.
It is likely you will get there very soon! :)
The curators list is not final and we are more than happy to expand it. Get in touch on Discord for that.
Thanks for your feedback and we hope to hear more about your curation efforts soon!
Yep, I'm in the same boat as you Living. It's shit.
You?! How?! Even I got curied and steemstemmed!
Never got curied. I'm not science person or dev so I don't get those big upvotes. Unless ausbitbank upvotes my posts, they really don't make anything. It's one of the reasons I've lost faith in the platform.
Not a science person or dev either. I wrote a post about whale vomit as some delicious click-bait and tagged it as steemstem for lolz. It got steemstemmed and curied. I loled so hard...
Maybe someone was just trying to encourage your behavior.
I remember the post.
Plus you represent an audience that complements steemSTEM but it's not overly active, so any vote cast is an exposition of our values and brings back interest in the project.
:D
You got friends in high places @techslut! Maybe I should try that 🤔
Please do!
See @techslut ? Interest :D
Did you read @promobot's ToS?
Their call :)
Hello, bid.bot! Best wishes for a great journey here in this culturally diversified yet mostly unified community :) Have fun!
By the way, there are several groups you as a newcomer can join. They will stay with you for your journey, helping and mentoring along the way.
@greetersguild invite link https://discord.gg/AkzNSKx @newbieresteemday invite link https://discord.gg/2ZcAxsU
sounds interesting please can you teach me how to understand steemit
There are a lot of free videos you can view on YouTube to understand steemit better, however, in a nutshell it's about writing quality content to share with others and in return your can get paid in Steem. Steemit is built on the blockchain and rewards it's users in this crypto currency for their input. Steemit is experiencing exponential growth at the moment which will in turn also mean steem will grow to new heights soon.
thank you so much i will go to you tube to check it out
This is amazingly awesome.
But I have been involved in some of these platforms and it has been mostly a scam to rip me of my SP and SBD.
I hope this is profitable to me and I will earn and learn from it
Hello there!!!
it is awesome how blockchain thecnology it is growing up too fast.
also bid-bots are great and helpful!!!
good luck!!!
have a great day!!!
I don't think this service was created for stemmites with 50 and below reputation... The bot should be created for people like us who are not recognized.. For our effort
@lebey1 it is created for you as well! Just pack some awesome contents and get upvoted by any of the following curation initiatives. Immediately after you could boost your posts or flag overvalued ones. Good Luck!
