it's a good contest @htooms, but you should check this before you bid : https://s3.amazonaws.com/yabapmatt/bottracker/bottracker.html
It seems some of your bids are overvalue, just for example : you bid twice on @booster ($ 100 and $ 50), but the total upvote value was only $ 46 (it's less than one third of your bid). So, based on that you received 75 % which is $ 34 and we as curators will receive $ 12. With more than 400 upvotes here, your $ 150 bids on @booster worth only a few penny for each curator (maybe even less).
So, better check the bot until last minute before you bid ! Hope it helps.
warm regards :)
You should check. The people who voted on me totaled 113 minnows and they gave me $25 dollars in total votes. The $100 I spent brought in 310 votes on top of theirs and (all participants of a bot called frontrunner) and the total added value to the post was $108.00.
So each minnow who came here to vote of their free will gained significantly. I came up even and continue gaining friends and followers.
