We are a community bot implementation built for DLive
For anyone that hasn't used it yet, DLive is a video sharing site where users can share live video, or recordings, and be rewarded via the Steem blockchain. This is an incredible leap over traditional streaming sites and looks to revolutionize the industry for the better. Not only can content producers make their content as they see fit they can also earn a decent reward for doing so.
@dlive has been able to bring a lot of attention to the platform through a very strong delegation that allows them the chance to upvote streams and give the author a decent boost. Now that DLive is growing, by leaps and bounds, it's going to become harder and harder for users to be noticed like it was before. This occurs due to the market having so many great streamers available and thus it will become increasing easy for good producers to fall to the wayside. This is because any account only has so much voting power they can use daily plus there's only so much eyeballs can take in on one day.
This led to the idea that created @dlivecommunity. By combining @yabapmatt’s Community Bot with a delegation from @patrickulrich we now have a tool to bring exposure to your stream through an upvote from our community account regardless if you get noticed by @dlive. While it certainly won’t give you the rewards that the @dlive upvote will, it can at least give you a reliable upvote to become noticed.
The Way It Works
The software currently waits until @dlivecommunity hits 100% voting power. Once that has happened then it looks at the list of members and goes down and gives a 100% to the next member in line. If that post has already been upvoted then the software will move on to the next member that has a new post available and makes an upvote on their post. Once it has made an upvote it will wait until voting power has restored and then restart the process with the next user.
How Do I Get Started and Become a Member?
There are 3 main ways you can become a member of the @dlivecommunity bot. In the next few paragraphs this will show you how you can use one of these methods to start getting an upvote from @dlivecommunity.
1.) Delegation (Lifelong Membership)
The preferred method is for members to delegate 120,000 VESTS (~60 SP) to join in. This allows us to grow our SP delegation and give each member a larger vote when it's their turn through the voting. From there you will remain a member until you change your delegation. This all happens without you ever actually parting with ownership of any Steem but gaining the benefit of new votes.
The easiest way to delegate is to take the following link and replace youraccount with your actual Steemit username:
Note: Steem delegations are immediately credited to the delegatee's account. You may undelegate your Steem at any point but you will not regain your delegated voting power until 7 days after you stop delegating. This is a part of Steem's security features and is not controlled by @dlivecommunity. Undelegating your STEEM ends the life of your membership and requires another delegation or change of method for membership to continue.
2.) Steem Payment (One Month Membership)
If someone does not want to delegate Steem Power to the community then they can also transfer 2 STEEM to @dlivecommunity. This will enlist them on the membership voting for a 30 day period.
Note: The bot only accepts payments in STEEM. You can not pay for a membership with SBD. If you send SBD we will try to refund you but it may take a few days. Please only send 2 STEEM for payment. Anything over will extend your membership past one month and can not be refunded.
3.) Mixed Membership (One Month Membership)
Alternatively there's an in-between option where someone may delegate 60,000 VESTS (30 SP) and pay 1 STEEM for a 30 day membership. If you go about this method then you will want to ensure you continue paying your 1 STEEM each month or you will not retain membership.
Curation
While @dlivecommunity is intended to be used for @dlive content it will certainly upvote anything on the Steem blockchain. This means that when it's your turn to get a vote and your most recent post is a new picture on Steepshot then that's what the bot will decide to upvote. Because of this we feel we have a duty to help maintain control of the rewards pool. This means we will attempt to monitor our upvotes and if we find members are actively posting SPAM or SCAMS then you will be BANNED! We do not want our vote to be used as a tool for users to make money on or defraud others from their money. This is intended to help new users join a program that will hopefully give them larger exposure and votes along the way.
Discord Server
Please join us on Discord to discuss any issues you may encounter while using @dlivecommunity or if you have any questions. Additionally please report any questionable member content in our #dlivecommunity-content channel.
We'd like to personally thank @yabapmatt for all the effort he made in developing this bot. Please consider giving your vote for witness to @yabapmatt for all the hard work he's put in. Additionally I'd also like to thank everyone that's been involved in the @dlive project and Steem in general. It's your platform that has allowed all of this to be built. Finally I'd like to thank each of you. Without you making the great content you do then there would be no reason to implement products like this in the first place. We hope each of you will continue doing your special streams every day!
