RE: Front Running Curation Bots

in #bot7 years ago

One thing I've always wondered about the calculation when you beat the big boys with your vote:

  • I wonder if it matters much how much your vote is?
    • I'm thinking, could you make 100 1% gambles like this
      and earn more than 10 10% gambles
      or even 1 100% gamble?

I've also toyed a bit with curation trail auto-voting, but the problem was you voted after the fact. It would be better if they let the hmm not sure what you call someone who follows a trail ??? anyway if the main curator would let the followers go first it would be a greater service to their followers...

  • I think it's a bit of misdirection for these people who have curator trails market their trails, when in fact all followers vote after them, so they are making more money.
    • I don't think all who setup those curation trails do it for that purpose, but I do it simply because they are greedy and want to maximize their rewards...

Hmm I wrote this yesterday, but evidently didn't get it posted. It showed up when I came back to this post. Strange...

Sort:  

I've never tried being a part of a curation trail of any size, so have no clue as to how that works or why trail followers (I don't know the name either) can't vote first. I've noticed, though, with the curie vote in particular, that there are users who do vote ahead of the bigger voters, but most vote after. So I'm not sure how that works, or why a few might be ahead. And in general, those curation trails are coming in a few hours, if not a day or so after the fact, because it's being manually curated to start with then going whatever approval process they go through.

Something else I understand I'm supposed to go to Discord to find out about. :)
