RE: The Bot Revolution on Steemit - Over 300$ Worth Of Upvotes Every Two Hours
It is good that you share this. Especially with the increasing bot debate. We need to be careful how we handle vote buying/leasing.
First of all what do you mean by breaking even. Using the platform costs nothing. If you would have some setup costs, I imagine they would be solved already as you get around $100 sbd every 2.4 hours.
I hope whatever you do, you asking what will be best for the community.
Leasing steem is extremely expensive, I have been financing 6,000 steem/week out of my pocket to kick it off the ground. It has been at a loss until last week where I finally hit a break even.
It is a great effort, however, can you reach to some whales or steemit inc. for funding the curation part, I believe some big amount of SP is just sitting. I mean that @buildawhale will be profitable for time being when it will get more attention.
However, curation does have some cost: remuneration to curators, upvoting cost on quality posts and maintenance of hardware.
The curation is the best part the @buildawhale possess. If it can be scaled up, it will be huge boon for steemit community.
I have been trying and it has been my primary focus lately but it is difficult.
