I can underdstand when you can get a positive ROI.
You still haven't signed up with @dustsweeper?

Nope. I am that kind who will just throw 0.05 at an individual late into it to get 0.15 in return. I am more interested in steem power at this point than steem bucks. Slow and steady.

Ok. It's a wasted upvote if I upvote you solo.

You know what they say, an up vote is never wasted in Steemland! LOL.
I understand the concept of dustcollector, which is good, but if things go like they did last week you will still lose that penny. From here on, I will just make sure I get at least 0.15 on posts by slipping a few pennies in an indie account with good voting power on day 6. Bots got on my last nerve last week during the downturn - more loses than gains.

#fraud!!! lol You have to get at least .02. Yeah it does suck when steem tanks. I came out real well when it soared last month. lol I probably should have converted some of the SBD into steem. Oh well. Maybe next time.

I learned my lesson last week, no more zappl, no more parley, no more big bots...
I am testing techniques on a friend's account who got bored with it all. He doesn't care because he was losing money. Doing great so far by keeping it simple and networking. Going to apply it to my own on Sunday - just because I like firm start and end dates to see how it is working.

I don't think I've ever used zappl or parley.
Do you have his account set up with autovoter?

Nope. I'm talking super simple techniques - relying on dolphins and whales to help out. The way it was supposed to work. Networking is key in this approach. So far it is working. If it all collapses, oh well, his account, his steem loss. LOL!
