We've implemented multiple updates over the last few days, which brought incredible improvements to Smartsteem.com
- Super Speed - Smartsteem.com is faster than ever
- Full Encryption Support & Encryption via Smartsteem.com
- UI Improvements
- Display Available Votes
- Promotion Parameters (time delay, size of votes)
- Detailed Payout
- Bid Overview
Super Speed
First of all, the code behind Smartsteem.com got an upgrade, which increased the speed overall drastically (for example: how fast transactions are getting handled.)
We're currently voting between 20 and 160 times per minute. Which results in 28,000 to 230,000 votes per day! In addition with keeping the data (votingpower, steempower etc.) of over 5700+ Vote-Sellers updated and more.
This puts a lot of stress onto our servers, but due to the recent improvements, we've optimized everything to make sure that our customers aren't wasting any time.
And as you know - time is STEEM!
Full Encryption Support
While we supported encrypted memos for a few months now, the outgoing transactions from @smartsteem weren't encrypted, even if the initial transfer from the customer was encrypted - which put a strain on anonymity.
However from now on, all transactions which are initiated through an encrypted transfer, are also encrypted on the side of @smartsteem & @smartmarket.
And the best part of this is..
Encryption via Smartsteem.com
Smartsteem.com gives you the power to buy upvotes and to bid-on-votes directly through the website. We're utilizing steemconnect for that, to make sure that we have the highest security standards.
And until now, transfers through Smartsteem.com were only available in an unencrypted format.
But with today's update - this has changed!
Whether you want to bid for votes with smartsteem (smartsteem.com/bid) or buy directly votes through smartmarket (smartsteem.com/buy) - everything is available fully encrypted.
The only thing you need for that, is your private memo-key, which you can get out of your password in multiple ways:
Through the Steem Chat-Wallet. A light wallet (similar to Vessel) that runs on your computer. More information here: https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@therealwolf/steem-chat-wallet-v0-1-1-previously-steem-messenger
By logging into Steemit.com with your password, which generates the memo-key out of your password & account-name. You'll find the memo-key under Settings, where the rest of your keys are.
By utilizing the code that is also used in the Steem Chat-Wallet.
UI Improvements
Enhancing the website UI is an important priority for us. So far, we've made big changes to the buy-votes and bid-for-votes sections.
Check them out yourself at Smartsteem.com.
Display Available Votes
Over the last months, our customers never truly knew how many votes were currently available for a specific post.
This resulted in good-luck transfers and often times refunds.
But from now on, you are able to check how many votes are available at a given time for a specific post directly at (smartsteem.com/buy).
Promotion Parameters
We've implemented custom parameters for post-promotion via @smartmarket (smartsteem.com/buy).
The parameters are a bit of text (json) that is added after the post-link in the transfer memo.
https://steemit.com/steem/@smartsteem/new-post {"delay":{"time":"5","unit":"m"},"votes":{"amount":"s"}}
But don't worry, everything is added automatically if you initiate the promotion via smartsteem.com/buy.
Even if you want to send a transfer manually, the parameters can be copied via click on Copy Link
Time Delay
You're now able to send a transfer to @smartmarket with a time delay parameter, which lets us know that we should process the transfer as soon as the specific amount of time has passed.
{"delay":{"time":"5","unit":"m"}}
In this case - the paramter says that the transfer should be processed in 5 minutes.
Possible units are m for minutes and h for hours.
Number of Votes
We currently have over 5700 vote-sellers and many of them are planktons and minnows, with really low vote-values.
And we are using a custom divider to make sure that a post isn't receiving 1000 * 0.001$ votes for a 1$. Instead, you might receive between 10 and 200 votes.
However, some users really want so many votes and some other users want as few votes as possible.
That's what the votes parameter is for.
{"votes":{"amount":"s"}}
In this case - the post would receive more smaller votes.
Possible parameters are xs for many, many smaller votes, s for more smaller votes, m for the normal amount of votes and l (large) for fewer votes.
Please keep in mind that multiple parameters have to be written like this:
{"delay":{"time":"5","unit":"m"},"votes":{"amount":"s"}}
Detailed Payout
The post-payout on STEEM went through a lot of changes in the last few months. Initially, set at 50% SBD and 50% Steempower, this value is dynamic - based on multiple factors.
We combined this with the ability to predict the payout, without any changes to the STEEM & SBD prices of course.
You will find this feature directly at smartsteem.com/buy.
Bids Overview
When you send a transfer to @smartsteem, you're bidding on a share of @smartsteem's vote. Initially, we redirected our users to steembottracker to monitor the current bids & to check the last round.
But due to the recent changes in payout, the calculations from steembottracker became inaccurate, so we decided to implement it ourselves at Smartsteem.com/bid.
That way, we're also able to implement features ourselves. For example, when a round reached its limit, bids will be added to the next round and displayed like that (or refunded if the next round is full as well).
What's next?
While the recent changes & improvement are already amazing, we're not slowing down. Over the next few weeks, more improvements & features will be coming!

Can't wait
Hi I'm selling my voice to steemmarket since 30/6/2018 but I have not received any return since that time, although I caught the return on automatic every day please solve the problem
Hey there @samy.zoorb,
automatic payout is enabled for balances that hold at least 0.3 SBD / STEEM. Since you have less than that currently in your balance, the automatic payout hasn't happened yet.
You can either wait or withdraw it manually from smartsteem.com/balance.
If you have more questions, then please let us know.
Smartsupport
Thank you for your quick reply
Awesome! Been using your website to sell my votes and also buy some from time to time! I prefer this to any other service because it feels more like a open marketplace than a sacrifice to some devil. Knowing most of the profit goes to the sellers feels satisfying.
If vote bots should be part of the future of steemit, smartsteem should be it.
Great updates man! gonna check them out right away!
Hey @holm,
thank you for the great feedback!

Excellent work @smartsteem
I've been waiting for this update
It is based on everything that is currently happening around
I hope it will cover all the world around it
Thanks @smartsteem
It's really gud to hear about new changes which is beneficial to us and trustworthy but time taking too long so....
I'm very concerned about the future of advertising with Smartsteem. As traditional social media advertising continues to increase in price, companies will catch on to the opportunities available with Steemit and Smartsteem.
When advertising budgets are channeled intoSteemit influence, content will become advertisements in disguise. How will content creators compete, and how will a good content majority be ensured?
Does Smartsteem have any features to address this before it becomes a big problem?
There is a set limit for individual Accounts, plus they have a Spam protection. So from their side it's all good I guess ;)
Is any charges for joining smartsteem
I want to know about it

hi )
Ok @pitabase89
Thanks krpawarssc
i love this system
These are some really solid changes. Keep up the good work.
Is your bid bot @weupvote not working properly?
The one I Delegated to?
Seems to have been down for hours.
Yes that one.
Since you are the only one that delegated + there are more bots where you are the only one delegating, I thought you would also be the bot owner. Or is that an incorrect assumption from my side?
Early bird gets the worm. Get into bots early and reap unsold rewards
@smartsteem, Steemit have a good improvement and you have also dude you finding a latest news which is every one needed, Great job
what is the next step of steemit dude?
@smartsteem Here Are Good info tech. And Hi smartsteem its wonderful idea. Throughout the following couple of weeks, more changes and highlights will come!
Current ROI: 10% (Ratio: 228% to 260% at 15% - Increasing linear)
Great job guys! Really appreciate what you do for our community. 👍😎
Thank you!
Guys please help I sent 25 SBD to smartmarket since it was advertised on steem bot tracker but i did not get refund or upvotes please help.
Great job! Smartsteem is a super service!
Thank you!
Did you just send yourself 130 SBD to upvote yourself?
Surely all this accomplishes is to put the rest of the legit vote buyers into a negative ROI?
I hope I'm misunderstanding something??? Please show me where I'm getting it wrong.
We are paying for our votes like everyone else. 95% of the profit goes to delegators - we are not the ones profiting from a negative ROI.
Ah, OK, cool... P.S. Not insinuating anything dodge... just asking why not limit it to say 100SBD and let everyone that bought that round end with a + ROI.
Great job guys. Been using and also selling votes on your platform for quite a bit now and seeing those improvements makes me and many others very happy. Good to see so many detailed settings now possible. Keep up the good work!
I gave you an upvote on your post! Please give me a follow and I will give you a follow in return and possible future votes!
Really a good news. Hope to see similar updates in furture as well

pls do upvote , follow and response, thank u
Thats awesome, great job guys keep on improving :)
Wonderful project Roeland! You are the best.what a good idea, buy here and sell there with a good profit margin just in seconds. That's cool if you ask me. It may be a nice arbitrage opportunity, but it’s also risky and if doesn't pan out you might lose money on taxes. Nevertheless, investment in Steem is always a good investment.
Its quite interesting for early adopters. Let us try!
How can we participate in the team as a voter and gain some sbd or sp%?
Thanks for this update
Can you buy votes for a post and then later on buy more for the same post?
Or does this mess it up?
Hi smartsteem its wonderful idea if you want take a look at my profile also
