It was a busy window, this happens occasionally with bidding bots, you are competing with others for a portion of the upvote. Most of the time it will be profitable. We have added 1 million steem power since yesterday.

It does not seem to be true. Your upvote was the last and I used the Bid Tracker to find out if it is a busy window or not. Bid Tracker calculated total vote value: 4.11 SBD.
BTW you have not offered any compensation. So, I lost my SBD just like that?
The bid tracker is not my tool and it is not 100% accurate (especially in last minute).
If it calculated a 410% return you likely bid early in the window and by the time the window closed many more bids come in. 410% return is unheard of unless there was a huge refund or invalid url in the window.
I didn’t offer any compensation as we did nothing wrong. We provided and upvote and there were a large amount of bids in the current window.
Most windows bidders make out well, but there are cases people bid higher than the break even point and result in a small loss.
It is a promotion tool, unlike “promote your post” where you get $0 back we provide a profit in most cases.
These are just simple words that are not relevant to the case. If you're created or recommended use that tools and taken SBD (money) for that, you should be full responsible for that service.
I read the comments (on @buildawhale page) of people who lost SBD just like me. And what you do? Tell them the same story…?
Anywhere, if you will not compensate people
s lost SBD for using your buggy service tool, its just like bla, bla, bla scam taking...If the tool said you had 410% return, you were bidding at the start of the window. Most bids come in at the last 5-10 minutes. Most windows are profitable, I'd say 8-9 out of the 10 windows a day.
I guess it's because of the black box of upvote tools you have created in which no one knows what they're buying, what they're paying, where it's running, or even if it's running.
Transparency is the key to programmatic success. Is transparency only an issue when your money is at stake?
You should either listen or do a little more investigating before you call something a scam. That web app is just a tool and not run by buildawhale.
There are also many aspects that are hard to track. Like the bids after yours. This all depends on when you bid in the window. Also how the tool tracks the windows will not be 100% accurate b/c of how it tracks when the window starts/ends.
If you were to go look at how much people are making off their bids you would see that the majority of people benefit greatly from the bids.
Did you read the responses to those comments about the losses? Compare how many people are extreme happy and satisfied by the number of disappointed. Its hard to please everyone.
Also please read around a bit. You will see that @themarkymark goes OUT OF HIS WAY to make everyone happy. He spends so much time helping and not getting mad.
Please keep this in mind when calling something a scam.
Will you compensate people`s lost SBD for using your buggy service tool? @nicnas , did I understand you correctly?
@nicnas I thought so. It`s just like bla, bla, bla scam taking only...
