Sixth Day. 11th Hour Voting
A new bot was created by to monitor this type of voting pattern with the support of a 200SBD bounty from
The bot is reporting under the account
https://steemit.com/bots/@abusereports/last-minute-upvote-list-2018-02-18
In the last 24 hours that bot has detected to be the number one performer by far with 5 votes totaling 1247.17 ------> USD 2800
I thought the votes listed in the first post might have been an exception or a coincidence so I checked the 9 high power votes issued on February 16-17 by

Im thinking this looks like an intentional pattern of obfuscation.
Courtesy
The vote number 9 takes us to the account
and this is the perfect user to address a comment by
"hi celow. I do not appreciate you sending memos and requesting upvotes. It is frankly very rude. I have never offered nor made a deal with you or anyone to upvote posts in memos so don't act entitled. I have in the past obliged and voted for some out of courtesy but the spamming is getting out of hand. Don't do it again."

Let's take a look at the account:
https://steemit.com/@miftahuddin/transfers
The user states in the profile data he is in Norway when he clearly is in Indonesia
User sends 30 transactions of 1-5 SBD with links in the memo directly to
starting 3 months ago
User begins to systematically get small upvotes by
shortly after the transactions start being sent.
Suddenly user stops sending transactions with links in the memo
directly toand starts sending transactions to
bittrex memos f439b10436fa4edb836 and 5bdbb32f342b431e987.('s bittrex memos)
Specifically 950 STEEM in 11 transactions to f439b10436fa4edb836
and 420 SBD in 14 transactions to 5bdbb32f342b431e987Question: How did the user know the memos to send to if he didn't make a deal with
?
Suddenly user starts systematically getting big upvotes from
User stops sending transactions a month ago.
...
This is a very interesting definition of courtesy
The 13 Accounts
In the first post I informed you that the 13 accounts in question
represent 48.1 % of outgoing votes in the last 4 months.
But I would also like to give you a most recent number regarding this.
In the last 31 days these 13 accounts represent 76.4% of 's outgoing votes

The Protocol
In response to 's reply stating that:
"I vote within the time period permissible by the rules of the protocol."
https://steemd.com/tx/cd26de02723f7d1b7c5f6be0d738718856610741
I would like to tell you that there are many things that are allowed by the protocol, for example posting plagiarism is allowed by the protocol, voting for plagiarism is too, it's usually via extra-protocol means that these behaviors are addressed, and so I find your statement extraordinarily cynical if not intellectually dishonest, or maybe both.
Regards,
Walden.
