What is a bidding bot?

A Vote Bidding Bot allows you to bid on a partial upvote of the bidding bot's full strength vote.

A new bidding round opens every 2.4 hours.

For example: Let's say Sam and Linda both bid in the same voting round. They are the only bidders. If Sam bids 2 SBD and Linda bids 4 SBD then Sam will get 33.33% of that round's full upvote and Linda will get 66.66% of that round's full upvote.
