Updated Bid.Bot Review- 1 Month Later, Still Great
Its been over a month that I've delegated to @bid.bot and now I think its time for me to update my initial review which can be found here. Now that month was pretty good, I got to see some awesome progress to the project but it wasn't without its problems(which look like they have been solved).

Theres no need for me to repeat what was said in the first post, so I won't talk about the features(much), but more of my experience with them.
The only change with features was that the whitelist doesn't consist of people who are 65+ rep anymore, only the other ways. Theres also a selection of time on how quickly you want your bid to come, from up to 3 days to as quick as two hours. The longer you let it last, the higher the ROI you'll get, with up to 10%. And that 10% is guaranteed. If you don't get it from the votes, you'll get it back as magic credits. I haven't bought the bids so I don't know how that can work.
I bought votes three times in the past month. I deposited 1 STEEM to buy my first bid, and used magic credits for the other two. I spent 1 regular credit on my first vote and got about $1.4 in return. Thats solid return, even after the 25% curation. The other two got me just above $1 in votes. Thats pretty great return for free votes(thanks to magic credits).
Delegations get me about 0.09 STEEM + 0.1 Magic Credits every day(on average) for delegating 250 SP. While that isn't the highest, the magic credits make it worth it. I can get a free vote every 10ish days and that end up increasing my total return by a lot. Its almost like I get 0.19 STEEM every day, which is way better than any bot out there.
There is a discord server for @bid.bot and its useful for support. I'm not all too active there, just pop in every once in a while. The person behind @bid.bot is really nice and its fun to converse with them.
I mentioned above that the month wasn't without its hiccups. There were two hiccups in this month, which I think is respectable considering the age of this project. The first time was when credits deposited were showing up as 3x in their bidbot wallet. I didn't see this firsthand because I didn't deposit but I saw people talking about it. It was quickly fixed up. The next error was no payouts for 2 days and site errors for 1 day. This was mainly because of node issues(other services were having problems too, MSP had shut down their discord bot for some time because of it). Once the nodes got back to a point where they were able to handle the stress on them, everyone got their missing pay, so they managed to fix it in the end.
Would I consider this bot worth it? Yes! Its the only bidbot I'm delegated to so they have my support. You should help them out too, send a delegation, use their service to buy a bid(proxy bidding might make your life a whole lot easier) and enjoy the benefits that I've been for the last month.
I came to check on you concerning the powering up, ive lost count of what is expected of me by the weekend.
Week two would involve you powering up 0.117 STEEM. You can do it as one lump sum or with this table:
Day 8 - 0.017
Day 9 - 0.018
Day 10 - 0.019
Day 11 - 0.02
Day 12 - 0.021
Day 13 - 0.022
Day 14 - 0.023
