We have all been to the front page of Steemit and seen basically the same thing- random posts upvoted to the top using only bidbots (Unless it's @berniesanders). When you check these people's profiles, you often find they spent nearly the same amount of Steem as the total upvote value on their post, and since they're losing 25% of that to curation, they end up often losing money on those posts and aren't gaining as much views as they originally planned. Bid.bot is here to fix that!
Bid Bot is a bot that is a lot like @socialbutterfly, but more polished and nice looking, and much larger as of right now. Bid Bot is a bot where you can send all of the Steem and SBD you would normally use for all bidbots you use, and they do the dirty work of checking each bid bot to send in a bid when it's profitable. While you might see about a $3 upvote value on their Steemit page, you can take a look at their transactions and see they are easily reaching the traffic of many larger bidbots like @appreciator, sometimes even more, and still remaining uber profitable. @Bid.Bot is perhaps the most simple of bots that you can use, all you have to do is send all of the Steem you use to up normal posts to @bid.bot, go to their website, and find the dashboard where you can choose the how quickly you want your upvotes and what kind of ROI you want.
Let's go through their website
First off you find the wallet section where you can view what funds you currently have available to use for upvoting posts. When you deposit SBD, it turns into credits with an exchange rate of 1 SBD per Credit. Credits are what you use to request upvotes on certain posts.
You can click on Steem Wallet to view what funds you currently have on your Steemit account at any time. You can view your SBD, Steem, and SP count from their website.
Since we're talking about Credits, lets head over to the credits tab.
Here is where you can deposit many different types of cryptocurrencies for Bidbot credits. On the first page of the Credits tab, you choose how many credits you would like to deposit. The website gives you options of how much to deposit i n the following numbers -
10 Credits
25 Credits
50 Credits
100 Credits
250 Credits
500 Credits
You can choose how many credits you would like to deposit from this list . If you want to deposit , say , 20 Credits, you can deposit 10 Credits twice to reach that amount.
Once you've decided how many credits you would like to deposit , you can deposit using 8 different cryptocurrencies -
Litecoin
Monero
SBD
Bitcoin Cash
Ethereum
Dash
Steem
SBD is always the recomended depositing crypto when buying credits since credits are worth 1 SBD per Credit. They will always be worth that with now exchange fees or other shenanigans.
Once you have deposited your coins, you can go back to t he dashboard and decide how much you want to spend and how popular you want your post to be. The dashboard allows you to use anywhere from 1 Credit for 50 views, 2 likes, a comment and a reblog up to 1000 credits or 1000 sbd for 50,000 views, 1250 likes, 450 comments and 100 reblogs. These estimations are great because they often accurately show you how much attention you make per post.
The next great part is the ability to choose the delivery speed. You can choose anywhere from slow, which takes 3 days to deliver but guarantees at least +10% ROI, to instant which takes up to 2 hours to deliver but might not be in ROI. Changing the delivery speed doesn't cost you anything, and presumably , the bot uses the extra however many days to wait until a bid period is almost up when it checks the return on income for sending steem them, and sends it if it's good enough.
Next you can click " Boost for x x x Credits ! " and it will use the credits you have in you wallet to send in bids to other bots and boost your post. Once you've clicked boost you can track your bids in the " Activity " tab below.
Credit goes to @KiwiBot for graciously letting me use their picture , since I am relatively broke and don't have the money to use Bidbot myself right now.
What about those Magic things next to the Credits?
Magic is what you get from delegating. You can delegate any amount of SP and be paid a portion of the bot's profits for that day. Bidbot allows you to delegate and earn a portion of the bot's profits, and also earn Magic credits. With both the magic credits and the daily profit payout, Bidbot is the most profitable bot for delegators around. 100% of the liquid Steem/SBD earnings and 100% of magic credits go to delegators every day, with your cut depending on how much you've delegated.
Another great feature about Bidbot is it's plagarism checker and 1000 word count minimum. You cannot boost a post that contains plagarism or has less then 1000 words, helping keep all of the annoying spam that often reaches the front page off there and only allows top quality posts to make it that high. Bid bot has definitely been keeping certain spam posts from making the most rewards because of this word limit, and keeps copy pasters off too.
