I think this is my karma for 'excessive' use of bid-bots, and writing a post regarding them yesterday...

So I check for a quiet looking Hive account@booster wallet this morning (I find it's usually quiet around 10/11am CET) and it's looking pretty good. Sending $10 is a big thing, but Hive account@bellyrub has just given me a $14 (ish) vote so that's all good - good for a reputation boost and perhaps a $1 or 2 'profit' on the amount sent.

Off goes my $10, and off I go to read/comment/reply/up-vote and send some Hive account@lovejuice to posts I like the look of today. A little later, I've opened a beer (cause it's saturday!) and think i'll just check in on the Hive account@booster wallet to see what's happening, and what do I see?

What the @#$% dude!

So I'm assuming this vote is going to command most of Hive account@booster's vote this round, but as Hive account@booster has a max vote of around $80, surely he's wasted a fat chunk of cash here? Lets see...

Picking things up at 45 minutes, he's already had more attention on this post than many previous efforts. (It's a nice poem I must admit!)

Close to the hour, more interest - in the wonderful poem :)

An hour has passed, and it's time for that Hive account@booster vote...

BOOM Hive account@booster has landed!

Hang on a second.....

$70.75 - $5.30 is $65.45

65.45 * .75 (rewards slice %) is $49.08

So for a vote of $488.641, the financial reward is $49.08

OUCH!

Check your sums before sending $$$ to the Bid-bots!

Check the wallet of the Bit-bots before you send (in case some crazy fool has thrown $500 at one!)

I have some ball-park numbers in this post

My $10 sent to Hive account@booster today was a total waste, a $1 vote because of this crazy fool!

Karma police got me :D

What happens when you send $488.641 SBD to @booster?
