Steem Power Delegation has become too expensive
Hello everyone,
Bringing some bad news to the table today. As you are all aware the current price of Steem has caused some issues recently. The price of delegation has however not decreased. This means that as of now, delegating steem power is unprofitable.
For a 10 000 SP delegation, it would cost 66.667 STEEM per week, and that 10000 SP delegation would bring in roughly 42.667 STEEM per week. This means a loss of 24 STEEM every week for every 10k SP delegation.
(The above is assuming the price is 150 SP per STEEM per week. Average price is even worse)
So as you see, it is unsustainable to run a bot currently on delegated SP. I currently only have 3000SP saved up with which gives roughly $0.38 Upvote. My best chance to keep this bot running is to wait for my delegation to run out and simply use that 3000 SP to keep the bot running at the much lower $0.38 upvote worth. That is unless anyone here feels like delegating for a share of the profits rather than a set amount.
So if anyone would like to invest a large amount I'd love to agree on a 50% share of the profits. But otherwise I will run with my own 3000 SP at the lower $0.38 upvote worth. Apologies for any inconvenience.

plz upvote my post i sent you 0.2SBD
Hello,
Sorry about that, refund has been provided.
I never received an upvote for this can you please assist me with either an upvote or refund please :)
Hi @upvotewhale, I did send you 0.10 SBD with the following link:
https://steemit.com/game/@sashohan520/star-trek-bridge-crew-the-vr-game
but I did get no upvote or refund.
Here is the transaction to proof that I did send you the money:
can you please refund.
Hello,
Sorry about that, had some major RPC node issues yesterday. Generally it'll switch over to another RPC node when one stops working, but yesterday all stopped working for a good while.
Provided refund!
I sent you 0.01 SBD but my post is not upvoted by you
Hello ghlove,
You received a refund as soon as payment was received as I had low voting power at the time.
Kind Regards, UpvoteWhale.
So the only way to get anywhere on this site is to have a bot?
What about real content from real people?
I thought exactly the same as you when I first started on Steemit! However, it's the only way to get people to actually see your "real content". You have to use "Upvote Bots" to increase your visibility, Steem Power, and most importantly your reputation number! These are the reasons I use Upvote bots, not to make money (as I often don't ) but simply to get seen, so that other people with real interest in my posts can come to vote and follow me ~ This is the way to move forward on Steemit, until your "reputation and SP" is so high that you don't need bots anymore ~ Just my opinion :)
I sent 1.6SBD and received $1.275 up vote and it's not 2.1x can you please refund extra amount, I think you can add same in coding to make it automatic
Sent refund. In the future, do not send more than 0.5 SBD/STEEM for most profit.
I hope the prices of sbd improves soon to continue using your service. Keep up the good work, as long as you keep it that way I'll keep using it. and thanks.
You and me both hope it improves! Until then I'll just have to use my own SBD and have a much lower vote worth. In the future when the price improves again (Predicting around May-June) I can get delegated SP again to have a higher vote worth.
Thanks for your support.
It is a pleasure to use services that are really worthwhile, like yours. and thanks for the prediction notice, I am more optimistic, I hope that now in April the price will improve. When I have a certain amount of sp I will support you, you have my word.
Thank you for your kind words. I do hope for earlier but being realistic I don't think we'll see alt season til May-June, only time will tell what happens though!
I'm speaking with my developer to see if we can get some sort of automated payout setup for delegations, and that way I can accept delegations from people like quite a few other bots do nowadays.
Hi @upvotewhale may I ask something?
ahm the minimum sbd/steem will be sent to you is 0.005-0.20 ? and I can receive an upvote from you? is that right or correct me if im wrong :D
Hello alfheim,
Minimum send is 0.005 SBD/STEEM
Maximum send is 0.20 SBD/STEEM
Simply send between 0.005-0.20 SBD/STEEM with a link to the post you want upvoted in the memo and it will be upvoted within 30 seconds or you will receive a refund.
If you do receive a refund, you can check the transfer and read the memo for the reasoning for why you were getting a refund.
If you do not receive a refund or an upvote within 30 seconds, something went wrong and you need to send me a message so that I can manually refund you.
Thank you for your interest.
Thank you @upvotewhale that would be nice :D
If I send a link from my post, and send to you the minimum sbd/steem you will upvote it for 7 days?
or less than that? sorry for getting so many questions :) hope you understand me :)
I'm not 100% sure I understand the question, if you mean what is the maximum post age, I will only upvote posts up to 5 days old.
If a post is over 5 days, you will receive a refund.
Hi @upvotewhale, I did send you 0.80 SBD with the following link:
https://steemit.com/deutsch/@stehaller/angela-merkel-eine-erfolgsbilanz
but I did get no upvote or refund.
Here is the transaction to proof that I did send you the money:
Can you plz refund.
Hi Stehaller,
Sorry about that, I presume an RPC node had a failure as I cannot see the transaction in my bot. I have provided the refund of 0.80 SBD.
In the future, please send me an email at strangeh21@protonmail.com
I check my email very often, but I only check replies on steemit once every day or two.
Thanks!
Good Job upvotewhale...
Hey!
Sent 0.3 SBD got 0.53 upvote instead of 0.63, please check it out.
And another one, $0.48 instead of $0.63 :(
Please, fix it
Honestly I can't do much more than apologize and provide a refund. I'm having automated vote worth calculation being programmed as we speak but it's taking time. While that is in progress I unfortunately cannot do much more than provide refunds in the event of wrongful voteworth calculation.
Apologies again, refund has been provided.
Thanks, though I didn't mind much about 0.3SBD, it's much more important to know that your service is up and running, sorry to hear you have such issues.
Your upvote service is the best one currently, hope you'll solve all problems soon :)
Thanks for your kind words. I'll have it solved soon enough. I can't imagine it will be more than a few weeks. In that time I hope that crypto begins to recover as well. This'll make my bot start being profitable again and I can start getting large delegation again. Just have to hope everything goes smoothly!
@upvotewhale where would i know the calculation ?
I can't share the actual code with you, but please see below example.
Long story short, I set the vote worth, and upvote percentage is calculated from that.
The '100% upvote reward: $0.90' shown on my profile is kept up to date.
Means that if you send an upvote, it is calculated from the expectation that my total upvote worth is $0.90.
Example:
100% upvote worth: $0.90
Current voting power : 80%
Current vote worth : $0.72
Customer sent: $0.05
$0.72 / $0.05 = 14.4
100 / 14.4 = 6.94% upvote worth
6.94% upvote is equal to $0.05. Below factors in 2.1x profit.
6.94% * 2.1x = 14.5%
Upvote post with 14.5%.
If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to email me at strangeh21@protonmail.com
Have a nice day!
