Introducing Voteme! - New @tipU Feature That Helps Your Get Better Post Payout And Rewards Your Voters :)

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

Hi there!

For the past few days I've been testing new @tipU feature and it seems that it's quite ready to roll out. It's called voteme! - it's easy to use and it's intended to both boost your post payout and help the fellow steemians that engage your content :)

Voteme! Quick Guide

  1. To enable voteme! send any amount of SBD to @tipu with link do the post in the memo - just like in the case of voting bots
  2. From now everyone who upvotes your post will be rewarded with Steem Dollars proportional to their vote value. The minimal reward for the upvoter is 0.01 SBD.
  3. The upvoters will be rewarded until the budget for the rewards (the amount of SBD that you send to @tipU) runs out.

Alternatively if you have @tipU deposit (more about making deposits here), you can just add comment with word voteme! under a post, for which you want to activate voteme!

By default it will use 1 SBD as rewards budget but you can also type: voteme! 2 - which will use 2 SBD as the budget, or any other number. I will be making another post explaining this in detail :)

The Fee

10% of the rewards budget will be taken by @tipU and treated as income - which means half will be used to buy more steem and half will be shared with users who have @tipU deposit (more info about sharing profit here).

The Balance

I can fully understand that this feature may seem controversial for some - for example it may be used to buy votes. The thing is that already almost everybody buy votes from the voting bots. So the idea of voteme! is that instead of spending all your Steem Dollars on voting bots, you can also share some with your readers who upvote you.

This should help you get better post payout, as it will encourage your readers to upvote and follow you. In the same time the rewards should help them, as for minnows even small amount of SBD is helpful.

On a side note, I do not think that using voting bots is bad, I use them myself. I'm just trying to bring a little balance to the steem ecosystem as currently we're witnessing the rise of voting bots and I'm afraid that soon we will be forced to use them every time.

So that's the basic idea, let me know guys what do you think and feel free to test it :)

Cheers!

Running a witness node requires pretty beefy PC and a lot of technical knowledge :)

@coinbelly please check your @tipU balance as it seems that your deposit is to small to cover the rewards for new upvotes. Feel free to send any amount of SBD to @tipU with link to this post in memo to re-enable voteme! :)
