RE: What is Steemit reputation and how does it work?
Very helpful information.
But the lower reputation is not -8
I don't know the lowest one, but wang's is -16 ;)

Yep, this limit was when reputation was introduced. Post udated!
reputation has nothing to do with how much a downvote bot can effect your account. it is their SP that dictates that. they could have 0 reputation but 200k SP and kill your account
@masterroshi @arcange Can either of you explain where the authoring and curation rewards go after a down-vote bot zeros out the total? Let's assume $2.00 in votes from 10 up-voters before the bot down-votes, zeroing out the Pending Payout reward value.
Also, is the SP used in the process of voting returned to voters, after a down-vote bot hits the post?
Do you know what motivates anyone to run down-vote bots? Is there a payout to them? Do they collect what would have gone to authors and curators?
Are either of you developers for the Steemit platform or know who the developers are?
Your insight and advice would be great. Thanks.
As an FYI, the following is memo text from a transfer.
Why would the recipient of the transfer and memo want down-voting exclusively? And why is the memo author using up-voting as a tool to convince the community that their actions are all about a clean chain?
i believe if there is a downvote then the rewards pool will simply send out less rewaeds.
SP is indeed NOT returned to the voters it is in essence lost. which creates a disincentive for that voter to vote on that type of post again.
As far as incentives for downote bots, the is only vengence and it is actually a waste of time. they are simply trying to create influence and be able to censor content they dont like or approve of.
If you want to get more info on the people developing the blockchain, check out the steemit github and reach out to the folks making some of the commits.
I did drop by GitHub, but didn't spend much time there. Started reading the code...I'd have to dedicate time to that and don't have it to spare. Thanks though, I will look for names of those making commits.
Well, evidence speaks to the contrary regarding the profitability of running down-vote bots. I've seen monthly bittrex transactions as high as $10k. You can look at their account page wallets and see next to nothing for the week, for example: curation(61.064 SP) /authoring rewards (zero) and still see curation of 605.46 SP, authoring of 14.49 SP and steem of 14.48 in SteemWorld. You can trace the source there too.
I'll throw a thought out for you to contemplate: WHO benefits by having rewards returned to the Global Reward Pool and HOW do THEY profit from delegating to exclusive down-voting bots?
Heading over to Minds.com. Look me up if yo have an account there.
