Dear Steemians, We proudly want to present 5 new Bid Bots, which will help users with fewer resources to promote their Publications and Comments.
How Bid-Based Voting Bots Work
Bid-based voting bots work on a bidding system. You can send any amount of SBD|STEEM above the minimum (minimums vary for each bot) and once the bot account reaches 100% voting power it splits a 100% upvote between all of the bids based on each bid's % of the total amount bid during that period.
It takes 2.4 hours for voting power to return to 100% after a 100% upvote so each bidding period typically lasts roughly 2.4 hours. The new bots have switched to giving out a 10% upvote every 14 minutes instead. You can see this indicated next to the "Vote Value" in the table below.
Take the following example: With a 2.4 hour bidding period user A sends $1 to a voting bot and user B sends $3. The total bid is $4 so that means that user A will get a 25% upvote on their post and user B will get a 75% upvote. If the bot's 100% upvote is worth more than $4 then both user A and B will receive an upvote worth more than they have spent.
The following table describes the characteristics of our Bots.

| @minnowhelper-1 | $0.001 | $0.001 | 1 day | 14 minutes | 0-10% |

All Bots, accept SBD and STEEM
and refund the invalid bids.
All Bots share the same blacklist. Only @minnowhelper comments when he makes a vote. The other Bots do not.
You can also earn passive income by delegating your Steem Power to @minnowhelper's bots
