Steemit is an amazing place! To make it even better the owners @ned need to make it easier to make money, after-all that is the main reason people are attracted to Steemit in the first place.

Three very simple & easy ways to do this are as follows:

Reduce the dust threshold cap from the current 0.0251 to 0.001
Convince the bid bot owners to introduce capped losses
Simplify the confusing visual rewards per post on Steemit

This post is to help achieve number 2!

I have explained all about my initial bid bot experience in my previous post, please feel free to check it out here.

😍 Some bid bot owners are amazing and are leading the way forward by capping losses. The bots in this list cap losses above a negative threshold. This means they actually help Steemians by creating a predictable, positive ROI (all other things being equal), the updated list below contains the good guys 😍

Additional Voting Tips:

Use SBD to avoid bot algo problems
Try off peak times like Sunday to get higher returns
If the value of SBD & Steem increases @ +7 days your post rewards will likely go up
If the value of SBD & Steem decreases @ +7 days your post rewards will likely go down
Important: Check the maximum vote value available before sending your money! If you bid more than what's available you may go into negative ROI. ~ See "max suggested bid" on https://steembottracker.com

Disclaimer, Wealth Warning & Terminology:

ROI = Return on investment

Round = This is my shorthand for a bid bot bidding round which normally take place every 2-3 hours.

⚠️ ⚠️⚠️ All the other bid bots that are currently listed on steembottracker.com have regular negative ROI rounds, so don't use them if you value your wealth!

Using the positive ROI bid bots in this list does not guarantee that you will break even or make a profit, you can still make a loss. However using these as opposed to the naughty bots does give you a fighting chance!

Profit/Loss is not entirely dependent on the bid bots capping losses, it also depends on luck & the fluctuation in the vote value of your post at +7 days. ⚠️⚠️⚠️

As always i will test these bid bots on this post & post my costs/results in the comments, this enables any Steemian to check how profitable / or not using bid bots are.

Thanks for stopping by, please remember to RESTEEM this post so other people can find it, thank you kindly!
