The Golden Cobra Upvote Bot Initiative
As I stated in my prior posts about my bot, this bot is meant to help the community GROW as a whole. Equally.
Mission/Release
--
I released @thegoldencobra recently and it's been a success, somewhat, so far. The only thing it needs now.. is more users/delegators!
v v Here is the release post about the bot and what it aims to do. v v
Check me out! :)
Delegators/Delegations
--
As I stated on the initial post, the delegators to this project will be receiving a WHOPPING 88.88% of the earnings the bot makes. The other 11.12% or so, I will be using to increase the bot's own power and to promote it.
I want this bot to be as common of a thing as the word "minnow" or "whale" on steemit.
Something like this, when people band together, can be platform changing.
The issue with most upvote bots is that there's too much of a gap or you have to spend so much that it isn't profitable or someone else just comes in and sucks up all the value or turns a vote extremely unprofitable..
My bot won't have that issue. I will see to it personally. :)
I have a plan to keep things profitable and I have money and assets that I can liquidate to ensure that this bot will be profitable even if 200+ people use it. I will not give up on it. :)
You can use the link below to delegate, just replace the "YOURNAMEHERE" with your name and then the "NUMBER" with how much SP you want to delegate and then hit enter! That simple! It will bring you to steemconnect, a trusted mediator, to delegate! (DO NOT CHANGE THE "SP" OR THE SPACE BETWEEN IT AT THE END! :) )
Delegation is what helps to make a bot more powerful, but most bots are GREEDY and take more than 25% for themselves.. sometimes upwards of 40-80%.. WOW. That's fucked up. Most of the time, they don't even use the earnings to better the bot or the community.. they just do it for personal gains.. That is not the case here, clearly. I'm asking a mere 11%~ to GROW the bot and to invest in projects to BETTER the community and deal with all the abuse and spam and overall increase in shitposts-for-profit, whilst returning to the delegators a nice large percentage of 88%~!
PROOF OF %! LOTS OF PEOPLE LIE TO GET DELEGATIONS! BEWARE!
Promotion
--
Although my methods haven't been the best, I've tried to get the word out about the bot and show profitability by sending it bids on OTHER people's posts. It upvotes them, giving their post some ADDED VALUE and then leaves a simple comment saying that it was given to them by me and how to use the bot to bid for a vote. Nothing major.
I've also tried to contact @yabapmatt about being listed on the bot tracker website.. but I believe I heard someone say or saw somewhere that you had to have 5000SP or something.. and I just simply do not have the ability to acquire quite that much at this point in time. :/ If this is TRULY the case.. then I fear that being listed on there (one of the BEST ways to get exposure and a user-base) will not be a viable option.. Even though his bot tracker site has bots on it that are clearly being used for abuse... I digress. ;)
A thank you

To all who've used the bot and continue to use the bot. I hope that you're seeing just how valuable this can be! A mere 0.001SBD/STEEM can earn you an upvote worth 0.01-0.03 right now, depending on how many bidders there are! Even if there's 10 bidders, it is around 0.02 that a vote is worth at the percentage I have it set at, so 0.02/10 = 0.002, meaning you double what you spent even when there's 9 other people bidding, which is currently very unusual. You will usually only be bidding against 2-4 people at most! So your vote will be even more profitable!
I appreciate everyone and their support in this. It's been a nice first experience and I'm interested to see how this will grow over time! :)
