@lottobot Update! No More Winnerless Lottos!
Beep boop! Hello Steemians! This post is to announce the implementation of a recent upgrade to @lottobot!
The main feature added this time around is that @lottobot will no longer simply fail to give an upvote in the case of a lottery with no entrants. Before, if the time came to declare a winner and the lottery had no legal entrants, @lottobot would simply complain to the command line and start a new lottery. Now, however, if the lottery is empty at win time, @lottobot will choose from among all recent posts and give a 100% upvote to one of them at random!
Some notes about this update:
- This does not affect normal lotteries with one or more entrants. They will still work as they always have :)
- @lottobot will select from all posts made in the past 2-5 minutes approximately in the event of an empty lotto.
- Only root posts can be winners of lotteries. Comments on articles ("replies") will not be entered.
Check out the GitHub repo for the full code of @lottobot: https://github.com/ErikLetson/steem-lottobot @lottobot is maintained by @hmagellan. Follow him for more info!
First time hearing about @lottobot? Interested in giving it a try? It's easy! Simply send 0.1 SBD or STEEM to @lottobot and include the URL of the post you would like to enter in the lottery as a memo! Approximately every 2.5 hours, @lottobot will select a single winner from among all entrants to award a 100% upvote to!
Read more about it in the Intrductory Post!
So long for now Steemians! And best of luck!
how much is your upvote worth?
It varies with the price of STEEM, and with the current amount of delegation. The best place to check the current value of @lottobot's upvote is on steemnow.com. The average 100% upvote is worth 3 to 5 times the entry cost :)
awesome, I'm gonna give it a shot :)
I really like your new policy.
Great! Good luck!
