Minnowfairy Update: Updated Rules and Policy Guideline

Good day Steemians,

We're fine tuning our existing rules and policies on @minnowfairy.

The main change is that we have removed the restriction on the number of bids an author may place per bidding round. So for example, you have 2 posts that you would like to promote -- one published today and the other one published yesterday -- you can submit a bid for each post on the same bidding round.

As a reminder, be aware that as part of our broad base stance on responsible use of Steemit, we will continue to actively monitor against potential abuse of the system. Anyone convincingly found to be deliberately abusing the system will be added to our blacklist.

Here's the complete updated policy guideline. We've also added a section on our Refund Policy. This will supercede all policy guidelines that we have posted prior to today.

Overview

@minnowfairy is a bid bot. When you send in a bid, @minnowfairy will support your post by upvoting it. In addition, you also have the potential to gain back higher returns on your investment. Isn't that great?

Refund Policy

Appendix: How Bidding Bot Works

Every 2 hours and 24 minutes, @minnowfairy will upvote all posts from steemians who have placed a bid during the round. The Voting Power will be shared among all bids placed, weighted according to the amount bid.

For example: At the end of a round, a total of 5 SBD was submitted by 2 bidders. The first bidder placed 2 SBD, and the second bidder placed 3 SBD. As a result, @minnowfairy will upvote 40% of the full voting power to the first bidder, and 60% to the second bidder.
