Your post was way too old (6 days) - no bots vote for 6-day old posts. They are all set to 3,5 Days or less. Our refund process works fine, we have a random delay on payback from 1 hour to 100 hours to avoid spam-bidding and exploit attempt. You can always talk with TheDegenSloth, the Bot Operator on http://SteemSpeak.com
bots work best on fresh good quality posts.
No, it wasn't, please check again the link: https://steemit.com/inspiringquotes/@inspiringquotes/quote-about-failure. Its now 8 days ago, but the bidding was done 5 days ago, so it was well into the 3,5 days. In fact if it wasn't steembottracker wouldn't even let me use your bot. What i think it happenned was that your bot was malfunctioning and when you fixed it and it wanted to vote, it had already passed the 3,5 days. No refund so far from booster and it has passed the 100 hours since the bidding was submitted. :/
