[ Bumper Update ] - The Future of Bumper - [ Switching Gears ]
All good things come to an end
But all ends are a start of a new beginningHey everyone. It was a blast last year to service all you people with @bumper upvote service, but unfortunately our service as it is right now slowly comes to an end.
We already informed you guys and girls before about the drop in returns as it was impossible for us to return 300% ROI with the delegations prices going up. But now with SBD being a lot lower then STEEM we can not even keep up with 230% return.
This is our problem

As you can see we simply can not keep up with the current way we distribute votes.
The future of Bumper
We are going to use this small amount of power in order to run a bidbot for small votes. We will try to rent some extra delegation in order to give us a higher vote percentage but at this moment it is unclear how much we will be renting.
Once our BidBot service starts you can follow the bids of each current round incl last round via http://bumperbids.tk
Can we still use bumper right now ?
Yes, until we have lost all our delegation you will be able to use the Bumper upvote service as you are use to. In 4 / 5 days from now we will lose the first 18000 steempower, and then it will take another 7 to 12 days for the rest to disappear. Once all our delegation is gone we will refund everyone that is still within the pre-order list.
Last word
It was a blast supporting all of you guys and if we find a way to come back we will be back. If the SBD price go's back up we might have another go at it but currently impossible to continue at these delegation prices.
We have stopped posting the daily reports already so this blog stays at top of our account for more visibility.
How we going to be back and work this out is at current times unknown. We are looking to all kind of different options and trying to pick the one that suits the best. Until then stay tuned for more info !
Well i'd just like to thank you guys for running such a great service!
hope you will come back faster
I send 0.100 sbd 10 hours ago but not receive any vote check please
@kaleem345 i already reacted on your support ticked within Discord.
But upvotes will not happen immediately due to a high demand of links
on our database. We can only upvote a finite amount of links per day
but we receive many more a day then we can upvote.
Therefor it takes several days before you receive your upvote.
If you need more help feel free to contact me on Discord.
Thanks for everything! Hope you guys come back soon :) Had sent a .500 SBD for a post 2 days back. Will I get an upvote for it or will it be refunded ? Link Below

And our bot did not catched your transaction.
we have reimbursed your 0.5 SBD
Are you responsible for upvoting this comment spam?

I ask that you cease from this activity. Reports to Steemcleaners on the @epicsounds account are forthcoming.
@bumper, couldn't you take Steem instead of SBD as payment for post promotion instead?
@katysavage it would be possible to continue using STEEM
as being the dominant payment for Bumper.
but we have all our assets currently in SBD.
Converting it right now would give us a loss of around 300 STEEM.
We would have to wait until the prices are a little closer together
in order to minimize our losses.
This is one of the options i am looking into for the future
That makes sense. Thank you for getting back to me. I wish the best for you and hope the price dips enough for you to switch. :)
You neither upvoted nor refund. I had send 0.400 sbd 2 days ago https://steemit.com/life/@sampicaso/6-boss-vs-leader-leader-say-try-something-new-in-your-way
Love your service if you never need a backup plan I guess you can donate to other bots. That way we can indirectly use your service...
@sames donating to other bots will not help me nor you buddy.
It will only help those that we donate to. I rather wait until the prices
are okey again so we can start bumper back up.
So will I get the upvote when the prizes are back??
Wopps I meant delegate to other bots. That way we can indirectly use your service...
you commented on a comment that I almost forgot making. :)
It's BidBot, not BitBot.
Good luck!
Awesome service thanks
