Comments:

I am expecting an increase in the number of posts made each day starting 4/18/18 as Hive account@transparencybot has begun commenting on all posts, which now includes those with reputations above 70.

All in all, transparencybot is being seen as a constructive and useful display of information for all those interested to analyze.

Why do we need more transparency?

Yes, transparency Bot is presenting information that IS available on the blockchain, but NOT otherwise available on Steemit.

Transparency allows all of us who care about this platform to know what is going on, directly see how it affects us, become more educated as to what can be done and then; hopefully, act in a way that protects our platform for years to come.

As of 4/18/18, Hive account@transparencybot will begin upvoting random posts that use the #nobidbot tag and have not used bidbots on the post.
The number of random votes it does a day depends on its remaining voting power. Later on, a filter to select only authors with reputation's of perhaps 60 (or 50) and below may be incorporated, but for now it is wide open.

This is a non-profit initiative, all funds received by or delegated to it will be used directly for this mission only. No one, including myself is being paid for any service or product. Please consider supporting it by upvoting this post and/or the comments left by Hive account@transparencybot.

A VERY huge thank you to our delegators!
