Yes bid-bots did suck, although I used the odcb one many times.. 😀.. I can't say I am unhappy at their general demise. I have many checks built into my own voter which I have never released to the public domain, and HIVE being what it is.., it crashes frequently, not to due to bugs, but bad connectivity to the the eco-system.

Getting enough worthy writers to be even added it to is is my problem. It frequently exhausts the entire white-list before my VP threshold is breached.
