Lol, see, bots are scams to enrich coders at the expense of everybody else.
Youd be better off trading on the internal market and powering up!

jerrybanfield had me before for $7.

Ouch.
Did you get it fixed?

Nope he kept it and never answered me, same as @alexvan and his @boomerang, I found out who owned it fast though, call me fricking Sherlock Holmes. :-) @alexvan we aint going anywhere, pay up fruitcake.

Heh heh, its just buying visibility!

Erm nope, just plain getting ripped off is more like it, I hope he chokes to death next time he eats.

Lol, karma is a bitch.

Glad that did not happen on angrymans post, imagine me trying to explain a $1 upvote for a $3 bid.

Lol, it would have been poetic.

I really have a thing against self voting with bots.

I know you do, but the maths now is different from when you started, I know fulltimegeek hates them also, and both of you for the right reasons, but and a big but, for most newbies now, it is the fastest and easiest way to get to 500sp in 6 - 8 months, yes months, not days not weeks months.

I agree, until you get the slider its fair game.
I dont know how long it would take without the bots but at 3usd per steem it could take a long time.

It could take a year or more for most people, maybe even two,bidbot returns = the slightly lower return in sbd is offset with the gain in extra sp, so for new people to get the slider they are probably vital not just vanity.

Yeah, there just aint enough whales to go around.
My growth rate has slowed to near nothing, but ive been spreading it out, too.

My friend who uses the bots daily says they have to pay out at a little over 200% just for you to break even once you account for the SBD/SP split. Thats why people make money delegating SP instead of curating, They are bypassing the loss on that split.

yes you need over 200% as the bot gets 20% curation also. The best value bots are the penny bots, the ones for 10 - 50c, they pay 300% returns.
