Steemvoter.com: Business Rescue Crowdfund
HELP ME SAVE STEEMVOTER.COM
I was fortunate to have met @marcgodard through a support query interaction on the steemvoter.com login, since then we have chatted quite a bit and get on quite famously, I was proud to be given admin rights on the system and in turn help users who have queries as and when they arise.
I think this service is great because it helps minnows and dolphins attain access to an autovote bot to be able to automatically vote any accounts of their choosing, with vote level adjustments and vote delay features. Steemvoter.com allows us to emulate great Steemians like @smooth and @nextgencrypto who sponsor various authors on the platform with their automated votes.
Instead of your friends (who's content may be of a different taste to you) linking you their posts to vote everyday, now you can just autovote them and happily continue chatting while the votes happen in the background. Voting while you sleep is also super productive.
Steemvoter is currently supported by 400+ accounts, most under 100K SP and totaling 1.4 Million SP. A lot of my Steemit friends use the service too.
Despite the wide support base, Steemvoter has no real business model even though it is a great and useful service. Steemvoter relies on weekly post rewards to get by and currently @marcgodard doesn't even cover his server hosting costs, if you look at the @steemvoter blog you will see only 60 Dollars or so has been made across all posts.
For the above reason, @marcgodard will be shutting down the service soon as his attempts to sell it for 3000USD have not yielded any buyers, I really want to develop this service further with trails using posting keys instead of active keys and category voting options as well as other cool ideas.
Since I helped @marcgodard promote Steemvoter.com on every post of @steemsports and some witness posts, he would give me preferential development rates, 40% cheaper than to anyone else and I am really invested in this project and feel I am a good fit to have it reach its potential. Also whoever takes over the service will have access to everyone's emails and posting keys, I have access already and am a trusted witness, having joined Steem in June 2016, so you know your info will be safe.
I would thus like to appeal to the community to please upvote this post and/or donate any spare funds you may have to help me acquire this service from @marcgodard, I may have to put out several posts to achieve the 3000USD target, which excludes development costs of new features.
ENCORE VOTE - VOTE THIS COMMENT IF YOU WANT TO CONTRIBUTE MORE!
AND ANOTHER ENCORE VOTE!? :)
vote?
And a few trailers to help. :)
Are you on chat?
Yes I am on steemit.chat, the name is thecryptodrive
For some reason it's not showing up for me. :(
A good idea would be to go to @marcgodard page and use some voting power on some of his posts and/or comments to help fund it even further with Steem/SP. Preferably the ones that still haven't received the second payout.
Good idea, I'll check that out.
already joined :)
wow!
With the upcoming changes to the steem power inflation rate, if the steemvoter service or something like it is not available for me to earn curation rewards then holding steem power is even less attractive, since earning curation rewards will be the only guaranteed way to get more steem daily, and without a bot it makes no sense. Steemvoter is needed for steemit user retention, without it my interest in steemit drops very low.
the steemvoter service could be implemented into steemit.com as something users with more than ??? amount of steem power gets access to, it gives users a reason to acquire and hold steem power, it can even be that the more steem power you have is the more authors you get to vote on, so the service can be limited to 10 authors for ???SP, then 20 authors for ??? SP... ect.
I like this idea:
Regarding implementation with Steemit.com, I don't know if that would be on their agenda, no harm in asking to have a visible button or banner. However I think steemvoter is listed on the Steem app store, if not I will get it listed.
yes, the steem power limit is something steemvoter might need to regulate the amount of users using the service, it does not make sense for a user with low steem power to use steemvoter to it's fullest extent, limited use so they can experience how it works, and more steem power gives more features
Agreed and this service needs to be developed with more functionality as well.
I wish the promote feature were active so I could give this an extra boost that way. I will send you some SBD direct instead.
Thank you so much!
10 SBD confirmed!! Awesome! I'll try the savings feature and put it there.
You're welcome. This should be preserved for the regular users.
This sounds rather alarming... maybe add some more protection to who you are selling it to? I am sure many users who have signed up and have had their friends sign up on steemvoter don't want their information being sold to a 3rd party that no one knows will do what with them.
(Yes I know you can change passwords and thus posting keys, but that means everyone would have to do that if it would get in the wrong hands so they could remain control alone of their account)
Hey Acid, you see the issue is @marcgodard can't feasibly spend any more time on development to even implement any extra features, with countless hours spent do date and less than 60$ overall rewards since implementation.
I must also correct one thing I said, I have access as admin to the email addresses only, not posting keys, however whoever gets the full site and bot code will be able to see the posting keys as far as I can tell.
I really want to buy this service to ensure it's security and I don't want to be looking at the posting keys, I want to get @marcgodard to make it in such a way that it's encrypted or something if possible.
For now be rest assured, @marcgodard is a trustworthy person, he is CTO of http://equibit.org/ and I am trustworthy also, so all accounts are in good hands.
Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear. Hope we are able to help with the funding of maintaining it.
PS. I had that account followed and voted on some of them, guess I have missed a lot in between.
:) :)
Resteemed. I would die if I did not have steemvoter. So keep it alive!!!!!!!!
Lool, that's extreme @giantbear will do my best! @theprophet0 and a few other people as also very keen in helping me run it and promote it when I do acquire it.
I don't do struggle....and without it I would struggle to get through all the posts. I am determined here.... so dying is the only option!
Upvoted and sent a few SBD to @steemvoter to help defer hosting costs.
Wow thank you! 7.304 SBD confirmed. Also @jamesbrown sent in 0.5 SBD with memo:
"Best profits that I've had on my Jamesbrown account to date, thanks to you :D I give you my day's earnings as your tip. Please don't allow this project to die. I don't have a lot of money but I'll do what I can to help you and show my appreciation for your service."
this is an absolutely essential service, lets keep it alive! I hope @ned and @dantheman can chip in to fund it, or even implement it on steemit itself in the account settings.
YES :)
Great Idea!, Shared on twitter to search for more support!
