RE: Announcing SteemAccess: Enabling Third Party Apps to Interface with Steem

in #steem8 years ago

When you have time would you explain what "vote on your behalf" means exactly? Just like it sounds I'm sure tho, as in Vote Like A Bot? (good dot com for ya maybe)
Basically I can go to work or to sleep and SteemPower.org willjust upvote articles automatically, and I get paid?

Sort:  

Essentially, we are building SteemPowerTrail so you can follow the trail of curators who vote on good content or you can donate voting power to @curie or @robinhoodwhale

Yup I remember that, thanks for the clarification.
Well in my few weeks here I've never voted for a witness, and I'm even a but sketchy on exactly what it means (hence the non-voting so far) but you just got my first one. You do tons here to make it better, thanks greatly, and I hope my vote helps you help others.

It means just what it sounds like: an external app can get permission to upvote on your behalf. Once it has that permission it can indeed do it while you sleep.

Right, I was mainly asking the "and I get paid" question, for clarity, comparing this to steemvoter.com for instance (which I haven't signed up for, but might). Charlie seemed to indicate that his was for donating voting power to worthy others, if I understood correctly.
