Dear Users,

I do not suspect any intentional wrongdoing by you, but it is the first time that it happened to me in over 2 months of frequent use of your bot.
What happened this time that made it worse than previous times?
Probably there was a problem with steemit again, I will check soon and refund if there was no upvote for your post. Sorry!

Please return the money. Thank you.
Hello @luckyvotes
Some time ago i sent you 0.100 SBD but i have not received upvote from you and I Checked Steembottracker and my name is not found in your list.
https://steemit.com/nature/@cryptostyle/top-7-most-beautiful-cities-in-the-world
Please check it again and Upvote me or refund.
Here is proof.

You received the upvote, see the attached line from steemd:

nice post
Thank you.
I have sent bid of 0.1 SBD but no upvote received nor my bid is shown in the upcoming bids. my post link is
https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@zaicha/bitcoin-update-5-jun-2018
please check
I have sent you 0.10 SBD, but you have given me a vote only 0.12 SBD. Why? Are you cheating with us? @luckyvotes . Post Link : Click Here
May be its a cheater bot.
Upvote will depend on the total bids received. Probably there were a lot of you sending in bids in that round.
I will check out and get back to you as soon as steemit is working properly. Now it is getting slow again. Thanks for your patience.
It is not! It works by the rules announced here
I have checked and you received the upvote. Proof is here from steemd:

The bot is idle for more than 90 minutes since it should have voted
2018-6-11
Thanks for letting me know... yes there was a problem, but now it has been resolved. Have a nice day!
The bot is idle for more than 6.5 hours since it should have voted
2018-6-14
I sent you 0.3
https://steemd.com/tx/6ecb7e55f0f0950fca45f91696b2460058d98fc6
And did not get a vote until now.Meanwhile, instead of getting 100% like it would have been had it worked, I will get less than 40%, and still counting down to 0.
edit: Eventially you refunded me with 0.4 (despite I only sent you 0.3) and upvoted me 100%, so I sent the 0.4SBD to your owner, because otherwise it would have been automatically refunded to me by the bot:
https://steemd.com/tx/9f33d85244b8b6d74af317f29509fdaf2870796b
edit #2:
Now I got a 50% instead of a 100% because the other bidders that got refunded got voted on my expense.
My last bid is 0.3 SBD again, and since I got a 50% vote instead of a 100%, I deserve a 50% refund which is 0.15 SBD
https://steemd.com/tx/5cb01c8cd1d115141e975d8e10997052c041fa53
2018-6-14 volume #2:
update #1 to volume #1: You refunded me with 0.4 (despite I only sent you 0.3) and upvoted me 100%, so I sent the 0.4SBD to your owner, because otherwise it would have been automatically refunded to me by the bot:
https://steemd.com/tx/9f33d85244b8b6d74af317f29509fdaf2870796b
update #2 to volume #1:
After I counter refunded, I got a 50% instead of a 100% because the other bidders that got refunded got voted on my expense.
My last bid is 0.3 SBD again, and since I got a 50% vote instead of a 100%, I deserve a 50% refund which is 0.15 SBD
https://steemd.com/tx/5cb01c8cd1d115141e975d8e10997052c041fa53
update that was not included in vol #1:
The bot is down again.
I sent 0.3 SBD again, in what was about to become a 100% vote, but due to the downtime, it will be less, depending on when the bot resumes its work, and on incoming bids.
I may get a 100% upvote as before, but I still deserve the 0.15 SBD refund.
Thanks a lot for the update. Unfortunately the bot was down again (but we are working on it to get it back to normal operation).
Since then you received the full upvote after the bot was started :-)
But because of your inconvenience I send back the 0.15 SBD (from the "owner" account).
Have a nice day and thanks for being cooperative!
If you followed my updates and editions of my 3 last replies to you, not including this one (the last is still unedited) you would have seen that I did deserve these 0.15, and not due to inconvenience.
After my first of the 3, I got a surprise 100% vote, which is why I fully counter refunded your 0.4, which was supposed to be 0.3.
Then I bid another time, with 0.3, but because the bidders from the previous round got their surprise votes too, I got a 50% instead of a 100%, which is why I asked for a 50% refund.
Then, the bot fell again, and I did not ask for a refund due to it, because I assumed it may end as before, and I did get a 100% vote on it eventually.
The 0.15 was not for inconvenience, and in fact the other bidders owe you money, and not me.
Between you and me, we are settled.
All right, happy to hear! :-))
Have a nice day!

Down again.
Do you know what changed that from a flawless bot it became one of the most flawed bots?
Don't know yet, seemingly nothing has changed, but it definitely doesn't work as before... Working on it...
The other bid is still stalled.
It is supposed to be 25%.
I refrain from bidding because I see it is still stuck.

Down again.
You missed on some curation rewards because of it, and you lose direct payments, because only dumb people buy into an already full round.

luckyvotes, sleeplesswhale, proffit refunded bids that were vote on despite not having them bid again.
Check your refunds today, you had false positive refunds.

Down for close to 18 hours.
I waited because I assumed that if you read reply you may also monitor and manage your bot.
You got upvoted from @adriatik bot! Thank you to you for using our service. We really hope this will hope to promote your quality content!
Yes, I know and there must be something with steemit again, because lots of other bots are down, too. Unfortunately rebooting doesn't help, so I guess the problem is not on my side. I will refund your bid.
Probably yabapmatt's code or one of the libraries that it employed did not scale to HF19.5.
sleeplesswhale, proffit, bid4joy and lost-ninja suffer the same fate.
alliedforces and sneaky-ninja which seem to belong to the same owners and to use the same code as lost-ninja work fine.
sunrwhale works fine and aksdwi after a long duration of ignoring bids when other bots were fine, is now fine when other bots are off.
Lightningbolt suffers too but resumed operation in some twisted way.
Adriatik skipped a bid one me after 6 months of reliability, but resumed to work as good as usual.
All these bots seem to use yabapmatt's code with individual modifications maybe as different input parameters.
upyourpost is the new most reliable bidbot.
weupvote is very iffy and dangerous, and just skipped my bid (edited for this update) and turned to be beneficial for me despite this case.
There was also this bid that got skipped:
https://steemd.com/tx/bdf5955197194241bb5bf6b0db87b577335dcd4d
A 0.13 SBD bid.
Obviously a manual vote of 100% would make me happier than a refund in this case, but I deserved a 50% vote on it, so you can give me a 50% too.
Maybe a manual vote will restart the bot's orderly operation, or help you find a solution.
Vesting your income instead of reusing it to rent STEEM would have made you less vulnerable to these situations, when you pay for resources and then do not use them.

I just discovered that I made a terrible error.
I made a similar error yesterday with another bot.
I meant to send you 0.121SBD, but I sent you 1.21SBD.
Can I get at least 1 SBD back?
Refunded :-)
I thought that it was a mistake :-)
Have a nice day!
honestbot and I believe that upyourpost and lrd employ a bound on their max bid.
Greengrowth had it too, but it got undelegated and its limit was not dependent on its steem power, so it became less relevant, and when it skipped votes, there was no one home and its owner denies any relation to it.
Better to have such a limit than not.

STOP@luckyvotes I have sent you 0.10 STEEM for upvote on:
https://steemit.com/windowmonday/@eii/re-nelinoeva-windowmonday-chapel-window-221b3b994b1a7-20180910t181558348z
but you gave me $ 0.05 upvotе.
Where is the logic?
The bot shares its upvote value (which is currently app. 0.22 SBD) between the ones sending in bid in each round. In your round there was your 0.1 steem, and two more bids (0.107 SBD and 0.107 steem) sent in.
So that's why your upvote value was not bigger.
Thank you @luckyvotes I will no longer use your services!
