RE: Why Has @crowdfundedwhale Stopped Voting & Why Is It Powering Down?
Very disappointing that he would take the money and run. I guess it takes time, effort and money to set up a vote bot but still to power down and do a runner without notifying or posting is not cool.
No, not really. Hell one could just use steemauto to do everything that 'crowdfundedwhale' did.
Well, to be fair, steemauto didn't exist when he set it up. I'm not even sure if steemvoter existed yet at the time. Also, it was doing a daily post for a long time, which is not something you can do through steemauto (AFAIK). So it required some effort, but still not especially difficult for someone with a technical background. And assuming he was running it on his own equipment, the cost is basically zero.
Steemvoter existed long before crowdfundedwhale.
The automated comment isn't possible with steemauto, you are correct.
Yeah the automated comment thing required a few hours of effort.
@justtryme90 exactly, it's all just turn on and turn back on when the HF happens
at least from what I was told
it's not hard
and posting for update wasnt either cause he just needed to use the old format
copy and paste a new name if someone adds more
@stephen-somers
I feel the same
I find it unethical
It wasn't just his work you know
without the funds it was just a bot
without the upvotes of the funders it wouldn't have grown into a dolphin
I'm disappointed cause when he needed help to grow this bot he could post
now that it's grown he didn't even bother to post about what he's going to do with it
worse part - with the actions that he's doing now
I doubt he was planning to give us back what we each chipped in
not knowing how much would be a pathetic excuse
cause everything is in the blockchain
am still giving him a benefit of the doubt
after all he was in Steem Fest 1
