You don't need to transfer SBD to Steemauto at all. What these instructions are for is to follow the @openmic trail.

By following the trail you are upvoting the valid entries that I personally upvote each week and gaining rewards for doing so. It does not require you to transfer SBD at all.

The @openmic account upvotes every valid entry that I vote for personally from my @luzcypher account. If the entry is valid and I upvote it the @openmic account will upvote it too.

For people who enter and support the Steemit Open Mic contest, following the trail will also automatically vote all valid entries with your account too. You can unfollow the trail anytime as well.

What this does is help everyone benefit from entering the contest by pooling the votes from every person that enters and have it automatically upvote your Open Mic entry. You would also be upvoting every person that enters a valid post so it is recommended that you set your voting percentage within the app to 5% so that it does not drain your voting power.

Why would we want to follow the Open Mic Trail?

  1. To earn some rewards from every entry of Open Mic
  2. To earn more rewards for your Open Mic entries.
