Thoughts on SteemVoter
I am so thankful that so many people like my service, however, some people are simply using the system for no reason. There are so many accounts that voting is failing very often (because they manually up vote or they are using another service). Others have added many many accounts, that add little SP to the collective yet slows down the script to vote all the rules with each of those accounts. Perhaps they don’t understand that splitting up your SP and creating many account doesn’t add any benefit and has the same impact as one account with a higher SP, if anything one higher account would be an even bigger impact as very small fractions of STEEM very often count for nothing.
I am thinking that a minimum SP will be needed to have an account on steemvoter. This will get rid of a lot of people that have accounts that up vote on (usually) a lot of posts, but get no rewards. It will also prevent people from creating 10s and 100s of accounts (wrongly thinking it makes a difference) and adding them to the system.
The goal of steemvoter is to generate rewards, but so many accounts don’t have enough SP to generate anything! You can tell this by having 600 up votes on steemvoter posts and very little to no rewards.
I am also considering selling SteemVoter, as I have other projects that generate more income for me and therefore are more demanding of my time. Steemvoter has a lot of potential, but not for me.
Steps I will be taking
- I will be pausing any account that is under 25 steem power
- After a few days I will be pausing any account that has more than 5 failed up votes in the past 24 hours. (there were many failed votes when the system was down for maintenance--these will be ignored)
These steps are to ensure that the goal of SteemVoter stays easily accessable to those that have the SP and actually use SteemVoter for their up votes with the goal of curation rewards.
SteemVoter.com Potentially for Sale.
I will be looking over offers from people who want to buy SteemVoter.com, its bots, and this account. I will accept as a minimum 3000 USD worth of bitcoins where I will just give the buyer all the files and minimum help setting it up elsewhere. As a quick sale and for me to continue hosting it for the next year, run the bots, and maintain the system I am looking for at least 8000 USD (I will also continue fixing bugs that come up).
Maybe you can market the system better than I can to make it worth more. I am not very good at promotion or writing post.
If you want to make an offer, chat with me on steemit.chat @marcgodard or email me at [email protected]
I would stop offering steemvoter in it's current state as free service, and charge a quarterly payment of up to $100 per account for anybody who wants to use it, I would pay for sure. I've been promoting steemvoter on every blog post I make for the past week
That is a thought too. Until I figure it out, I will pause accounts that just wastes the servers time.
this is what I put at the bottom of all my blog posts..
Using steemvoter my curation rewards went from less than 5 steem per day to more than 30 per day. Using a bot requires skilled human curation management of what authors to vote for, how much voting power, and time to vote. Steemvoter takes curating to a much higher level, and more fun. If you set yourself up to use steemvoter, please add me to your list of authors to vote on :) http://steemvoter.com
Yeah, and I tried to sign up without joy. Emailed his info.... No response.... Methinks the chasp is overwhelmed :)
If you had problems, please email me your experience at [email protected] I will be happy to help you and fix any issues for future users.
I think you need someone to create 1 post per day for you and have the post upvoted with these accounts. That would help generate system income. I also think an annual fee of STEEM would help stop the financial bleeding. We might be interested in taking this over from you if you really cannot. We are also very busy but create posts daily.
It still wouldn't be profitable considering the time to answer emails with people who use their public key instead of their private (like 5 a day). It clearly says private and there is even an FAQ about how to find it. Its not just the low income... it is the work involved for such little pay. I make $120 per hour with my real work, why would I want to make 10 cents per hour maintaining this?
Can we run this as a group? Maybe we should get several others together, and see what ideas we can come up with.
I believe thecryptodrive is doing something. Talk to him.
Hello Steemvoter
Why is my account suddenly deleted after a pause?

You've obviously got something going right here! Well done! There are many projects like this going on, but I like the direction you have taken. I'll be interested to see how you move forward. I am thinking about joining myself. My SP is only about 1000 and I manually curate so much I'm not sure that it would make sense.
Just use authors that you don't manually curate.
gl with it
It's a great strategic tool. Thanks for doing this.
I love it and hope it continues to get developed. I've paid a couple of times trying to help out and looking forward to premium features. I'm sorry that not enough folks bought in.
Its ok. If you want a refund, let me know. I need to start making more before I can justify more time towards the project. I hope I can sell it to someone that can make it profitable.
No refund bro. No complaints. Thanks for your work on this. I wish it was working out better for you.
Thanks man.
I've been slowly powering our voting accounts up by nicehash mining, but I just went ahead and powered up my account and my son's to > 25 SP.
Make sure you un pause the account. It is why I am just pausing them.
I like it
So how about just answering your email requests for assistance.
I do. Might not be ASAP as I do have to work for a living and I am also a full time father and this is a side project. However, if you do email us, please provide a lot of information (account name, email used to signup, ...)
Marc, huge apologies.....you did respond a few hours ago and I did not see it.
Thanks for the hard work,....

Are you using a cookie blocker?
I am - is that a prob?
I use local storage, so blocking cookies can cause problems.
well, it was working fine but I not only lost my password but my user name too.
Can you cancel the acc't and let me start over? Sorry!
I have my newly registered account pending for 3 days now. I would like to try your service.
I can definitely see the potential of your service in the future. Especially with the upcoming changes to the system. I would pay for it.
Thanks, however I don't have time to maintain the system anymore and am selling it.
