This is a test. This is only a test. This is a test of the Blurt Powerbot system, stay tuned for more details!
I learned about a new initiative on Blurt from my buddy @outofthematrix, who posted about it here.
According to the @blurtpowerbot page, "the more Blurt Power you have, the bigger upvote you get". So everybody benefits, but those who choose to invest in the platform benefit most.
I don't have any other details, but perhaps we'll find out through trial and error as we go. It appears to be a form of Universal Basic Income (UBI) which favours both creators and curators at the same time, which is interesting.
One question I have is what happens to people who loan out their BP, do they still get the bonus? EDIT: We have confirmation from CTime that NO, you don't credit for BP you've delegated to another account. That makes sense. You get credit for your own BP you currently have powered up, got it!
Some choose to buy votes (rewards) by delegating their BP to a vote-selling service like upvu, jsup, etc. Do they get to double dip into the reward pool? EDIT: Answer is NO. We now know Powerbot votes on all posts, from 0.01% - 100%, calculated by: vote weight = vesting shares - delegated vesting shares. So it's based on what you've got powered up minus any you have loaned out.
Click the "votes" arrow below to expand, and see if the top vote is from Powerbot! I'm interested to see what happens, myself.
A few of my previous images on this topic:
Thanks to CTime and/or mk for creating and powering up the Blurt Powerbot. Let's hope it does help to encourage Blurt's creators and curators and thereby grows the platform!
Blurt on,
DRutter
I've been powering up any extra earnings I get from the 25/75 split. I don't think I'll need any of the money since I have my full time jobs so I'm definitely going to power up for bigger up votes.
That's a good way to do it. The Powerbot really encourages a certain type of Blurt user - the type that creates content and powers it up to also earn on curation. It maxes out at about a million BP so it doesn't really favour massive whales, which I guess is also fair. I think the Powerbot is a good idea.
Para ser votado por esta cuenta, debo a juro delegar? debo estar en una especie de Lista Blanca?
Y sí tuviese que delegar para obtener upvote, dejaría de estar en lista blanca de blurtbooster?
Me gustaría leer más información al respecto.
Cada publicación es votada por el Powerbot. La cantidad depende de la cantidad de Blurt Power que tengas, menos los que estés delegando.
This is interesting, please when are the starting this and how to engage in this, is a good idea to start with.
New info:
Ultravioletmag got a big upvote around 22%, and she's got 200,000+ BP right now.
Aresteris got a tiny upvote near 0%, and they've got almost no BP right now.
Now, question is, how much BP do you need to get a maximum upvote? And what size would that be, a full 100% upvote? Hmmmm!
EDIT: Some more information. The Powerbot voted after about 25 minutes:
blurtpowerbot upvote @drutter/3t1ede-powerbot... (100%)
So at 1.2m BP, I'm maxed out. Perhaps 1 million is the max-out point. Interesting!
Nope

Thanks! Will edit that info into my post.
