Hi @samuel-swinton!

  • you have 2 units and 2995 bonus units
  • your rshares balance is 39865541115721 or 27.392 $
  • your next SBI upvote is predicted to be 5.478 $

Structure of your total SBI vote value:

  • 0.49 % has come from your subscription level
  • 98.78 % has come from your bonus units
  • 0.65 % has come from upvoting rewards
  • 0.08 % has come from new account bonus or extra value from pre-automation rewards


    A pending upvote balance is tracked for you in our database. Each time you post, your balance is drawn down by up to 20%. If you post again before that amount is replenished, your next upvote will be smaller. Our minimum upvote for posts is $0.012. Your balance accumulates until a minimum upvote can be delivered with 20% of your pending balance.

@steembasicincome Will my balance still be drained by 20% if the SBI accounts are unable to provide a $5 upvote?

@amr008 is correct. We check the actual rshares that were delivered and only remove from your balance the precise votes you received.

Some high balance members have taken a week off from posting to get comment voting activated (like yours is now) and then go on a commenting spree to draw down their balance. It can take a while, since the maximum upvote we deliver on a comment is $0.24 and you continue to be responsible for your own comment quality.

There are groups that seek out and flag low-quality comments that have big votes and you don't want to attract their attention. If you do make a comment that you think will raise eyebrows with $0.24 on it, you can use #sbi-skip to keep it from being voted on.

#sbi-skip Oops! Didn't intend for that. Perhaps we should lower the cap on the comment votes as to not draw the ire of such groups. For example, 9 cents seems innocuous.

Even 9 cents is enough if your comments are really spammy. Just make sure you're genuinely interacting and adding value whenever you comment (and hit skip if you think it's in doubt) and you should be fine.

Getting 26 cents for doing !sbi status is likely to draw some attention. I am just concerned about people getting targeted for using SBI. I think it is something to consider.

It's something we keep an eye on. I would hope that somebody getting sbi votes on comments would be sensible and use #sbi-skip on a status call (status call response will still work). So far people have only been targeted based on their own abusive behavior (with SBI being a tool they use to profit from their abuse).

Even that is pretty rare, since the SBI ROI cycle is too long and abusive accounts typically want a quick churn because they don't know how long it will take to get caught. Accounts can be blacklisted from SBI for abusive behavior.

No sir it won't. As far as I know , it will reduce the exact same balance of how much it has upvoted
