STEEMAUTO - Two New Features and How I Will Start Using Them
Big shout out to @MahdiYari who is the programmer behind SteemAuto. He has worked very hard on this at my request. Please, go vote for his witness and look at his latest request on utopian.io (he wants a new homepage)
Which Features I Requested and Why?
At this point, I'm getting at least 100 comments per post. Many of them by very loyal followers and fans...more than anything I want to support them and help them get as much SP as possible. At this point, I'm at least 3 articles behind when it comes to upvoting the good comments in it.
So I have to partially automate my comment upvoting while keeping a close eye on people who would want to abuse it.
Feature 1: Knowing Who My Real Fans Are
Right now those fans are:
@ryankofi, @kerdan, @steemit-arabia, @fermond, @mhmegh, @thethreehugs, @himshweta, @videogeek, @mahdiyari, @raj1511, @sr944, @damzxyno, @jaka87, @leyebiz, @fitzgibbon, @gardeningabc, @marshalllife, @investor7, @franklin92, @nadabrahmasounds, @njokuoluchukwu, @cryp2me, @driftingvoice, @arcjen02, @traba-emo, @opportunity4u, @bluetechno, @tronthetechie, @samiwhyte, @cinelonga, @chieppa1 , @jasonshick, @phgnomo, @rival, @gauttam, @underground, @diana01, @valth, @leahlei, @amoshaley, @clweeks, @fishyculture, @acdevan, @shencoin, @madlenfox, @robrowe, @hornblende, @droucil, @stackin, @regards, @steemitpatina, @wdougwatson, @kingyus, @olyup, @romaincrx, @slider2990, @aboutyourbiz, @shreetbn, @adnanrabbani, @bitland, @fabiocola
Thanks for all of you and for your support. You are my inner circle and the people that I want to help the most. Most of you do not have much SP and my goal that is through genuine interaction with you and my upvotes that you can make the most out of your experience on the Steem Blockchain.
You can become a fan by signing-up to SteemAuto and then add me to your fans.
Which leads to the second feature...
Feature #2: Auto-Upvote on Comments
As I said, I don't want to miss an upvote on the comments of my fans while simultaneously prevent abuse. This is why I still review my comment section to make sure spammers and abusers are punished.
SteemAuto allows now for you and I to make a list of people we want to auto-upvote in our comment section!
How I will use this
For those of you who are my fans. I will manually curate a list of people that I consider "TRUE FANS".
My "TRUE FANS" are:
- Those who added themselves to my SteemAuto Fans
- Those of you who have a track record of being genuinely engaged commenters
I have systems in place to see if someone would abuse. If I get messages that could not be differentiated from a bot or comments that do not add to the discussion, I will take that account off the list and maybe even put on my auto-flag list. I don't want spammers in my comment section.
Rolling it out...
I'm testing this and I'm going to start with a 2% upvote for now.(about $1.20 or $7.80 after SBD conversion) As soon as I am sure that it's working well, I will up it to 4% ($2.40 or $15.60 after SBD conversion)
It may take a little bit of time for me to manually enter and review everyone on my fan list but I will try to get it done quickly. Sorry if you are not being automatically voted right away. There may also be bugs to be worked out on that feature...so please be patient.
Conclusion
What's your thoughts on this? Will you become a fan? Will you start using a similar approach on your own blog? Please let me know in the comment below :-)
Thanks for your great support @cryptoctopus
For all who tried steemauto new feature a few hours ago: there was a little problem in comment upvoting section and now it is fixed.
He just took steemvoter to a whole new level @mahdiyari. You're gonna be the next bill gate man :D
Dude this is an amazing product. I just looked at the explainer video and I'm totally on board. I especially love the delay post feature as I'm usually asleep when everyone else is awake.
Thanks for all your hard work on these extraneous apps... I've really got to get myself developing on this blockchain. I can't wait to learn enough to start...
Very nice features. Thank you @cryptoctopus for this update. Consider me your next fan!
I did this for a long while before I delegated basically my entire stake to the minnow support project. I'm looking forward to building back some personal stake after a few more delegations in large part to reward my audience.
@aggroed, your services are impressive and i realy appreciate you for your positive support to community.
But unfortunately @mahdiyari is not getting much appreciation for his work which he deserves.
This is an efficient system but it detracts from the whole point of commenting. It should be to engage in discussion first and foremost, not simply to be rewarded for a comment that wasn't even read, and therefore didn't provide any real value. Yes I realise that a lot of Steemit is about social circles and loyalty of upvotes, but surely you shouldn't just automatically reward people. If Steemit is going to have a future this is exactly the kind of thing that will have to be avoided in my opinion
Wow that is really nice. Wish there where more authors like you. :)
After this he will get thousands of fans))
He will own the whole steem community hahaha
@megavip nice nice good thanks..
by using this steem auto people have a good setting they can get a good income in term of curation reward this is really nice site
@cryptoctopus, great innitiative through this app, you are always doing nice job for the development of community. i always impressed with you because i see on your post you rewarded mostly every commentr. "SteemAuto" is no doubt wonderful feature you launched with thanks to its programmer @MahdiYari and now you helped the real workers. I try my best to get place in your steemauto fan list. Thanks for updating useful and informative app.
Hey dear @cryptoctopus First off Congrats on adding a very smart and helpful feature. This will definitely save time and increase followers. Also you will get accuracy in the comment section.
A big thanks to @MahdiYari for developing such a cool feature SteemAuto
I am going to join this awesome feature. I know I'm comparatively a new follower of yours but I will prove my loyalty in very short time. All the best for this new addition for community and Stay blessed !
Awesome idea @cryptoctopus ! I've just joined @SteemAuto and became your fan, haha. The automated voting would have been taken care of either way by the SteemVoter tool but meh ... and also followed your curation trail, if that helps.
As mentioned yesterday, I always followed your posts, and I enjoyed and found them useful every damn time. Thanks for your work, and I am glad to join your "fan base" (sounds silly, teenage girl-like) :))
PS: Looking forward to more ideas such as this one (maybe I will use it for my blog someday) and also more ideas on SEO for Steemit posts - those are amazing!
Quick question. When joining did SteemAuto asked for your active key?
It did - use SteemConnect it's secure, I've been using it to connect to different tools for months now :)
How much time did you wait, so your account is unlocked. It is been more than 10min and I still can not upgrade my account. What am I doing wrong?
Never mind. I am IN:).
hope we are in ur good comenter list bcz we also in ur fan list and my thought on this is that u choose steem auto is good work bcz many of people i see dont read post and only coments and this tool is best for to seperate all of them good and abusers @cryptoctopus
