Get Rewarded for Supporting the #GooglyPrize
Free Upvotes for the Googly Friends & Family
In the last update post I had announced that I would launch an additional incentive program to lure in more upvotes for our 100.39% fair prize-pool here at the #GooglyPrize contest.
... I have registered @googlybot. This bot will monitor who has been upvoting the announcements and will soon start distributing small random upvotes to those contributors. Kind of like a #GooglyPrize loyalty rewards program, this bot will function similar to my other recently launched cuddle-bot @steemkitten. I still have to tweak a few things but I expect to launch @googlybot after the #GooglyPrize Issue No. 30 is out (~in 2 weeks).
And because I am a man of my word... I sat down yesterday and had a few (too many) cups of coffee, mangled together a variation of my cuddle-bot script for @googlybot and launched it. The bot is powered up with 50 SP from my own pocket for now, enough to let him pass out a few modest $0.01 upvotes throughout the day.
@googlybot has scanned the entire history of @googlyeyes and has registered all past supporters. It will continue to monitor for future upvotes and will randomly return a votes on a registered supporter's most recent post or comment. The more support someone gives to @googlyeyes, the higher their chances for a returned upvote will be. The vote-distribution is randomized enough to not forget smaller supporters. Everyone has a solid chance for receiving an upvote every now and then.
The bot has an extensive blacklist to prevent rewarding paid votes or similar services. A daily limit of 4 votes per supporter is currently in place. I will see how smoothly this program runs and will try to tweak it in a way that makes it as fair as possible. During the coming weeks I likely have to take it down infrequently for maintenance or necessary fixes.
Let me know what you think about this new "incentive" program.
And enjoy the upvotes!

Stay googly my friends!
Yeap... can't just launch a bot... need some original content to go along with @googlybot saying "HI!"
A huge shout-out goes to @krystle, @ausbitbank and @reggaemuffin!

@ausbitbank and @reggaemuffin are also running a witness,
