Ahh, Mr @carlgnash :) He's usually on the ball this one.
I also think it would be a good move for a tribe to explicitly state 'no bots'. A post on the matter could well attract a lot of positive feedback and lure people to investing further.
Cheers for the share.
Hey I should update that after some discussion back and forth the tribe leaders all said they were opposed to bid bots / vote selling ever being allowed in CCC and they said they would make a post to that effect :) I do think it is a great way to get out ahead of the issue, and will likely be a huge positive in terms of helping push people over the fence and into staking CCC :) I am up to 23.8k staked now with around another 20k open buy orders at lower prices :)

BTW I don't think it is necessarily true that CCC price has been trending down. I have been buying in over the past few weeks. The highest price I paid was just less than .04 Steem / CCC a few weeks ago, and I have had buy orders fill for as low as .025. In past week though the price has been bumping back up to .04 Steem (which is the price as I type this). A week ago it seemed like price was trending down but it is hard to make that argument now I think. The amount of buy orders stacking up between .03 and .04 is way outpacing the sell orders coming in.
