As I said, you need a decent amount of STEEM Power to run this bot. What that means is, if you can do a $1 upvote, that's $10/day because you can vote about 10 times a day before your voting power starts to decline. Whatever you can upvote, that's about the most you can expect to collect.

So, to get $10/day, you need to lock up about 2,800 STEEM Power at the moment. That much STEEM would cost you $16k to buy on the open market right now.

Use this link to calculate out what one upvote would be based on the amount of STEEM Power you have:

Let's say you want to collect $50/day. That would require a $5 upvote. To do that, you would need to have 12,500 STEEM Power, which would cost about $71,250.

thanks for the explanation!
