To avoid wasting our VP we gave out random votes to active Dustsweeper accounts. These are free votes not deducted from your balance.
Oh, so that's what happened! I got worried when I noticed Dusty had been voting my comments that no one had voted yet and before the 6 day mark. I thought Dustsweeper was going berserk and eating all my balance! I'm relieved that this isn't the case.
I'm eagerly waiting for the outgoing votes feature! I had considered using @tipU to upvote other people's comments in the meantime, but it seems tipU has too much SP and can't vote at $0.03 (its minimum vote and the minimum value we have to spend to cast the vote seems to be around 0.10). It's really up to Dusty then. I'll continue waiting!
I quickly made a script so we could hand out some free votes. But I messed up the first time around. I used the wrong order of the account history to check for posts/comments. So Dusty upvoted several posts that were months old.... ;)
Please stay tuned and the outgoing votes should be available soon.
The only problem I see with that is the high load on Dusty. At this moment we can't guarantee all votes to be processed. And that might be a bigger problem with outgoing votes. Not sure what you think?
