Great to see this new feature @minnowbooster.

In the context of accepting steem as a valid bid for promoting post in minnowbooster is something new & pleasant. Love to see this new development.

Minnowbooster is really among very few which is not only very old but also very professional in a manner they manage their services. At least they have a dedicated channel to have a real-time interaction and get the things sorted out and also one can clarify the doubts.

Coming to this newly added feature, I think I had requested this in mid 2018 in MB channel. And now in Jan 2019, I can see this feature added in it. The best part about the acceptance of steem as a valid bid is that the core feature for MB remains the same as they immediately convert steem into SBD and then that SBD is used as bid for upvote of the post. By doing so it will try to help the peg of SBD to USD intact. Further those who are selling their upvote can still be receiving SBD as their payout for vote selling and I think it is now a more profitable deal to get SBD than STEEM as one can use the conversion option of SBD to STEEM by waiting for 3.5 days through steemworld.org.

Simply put, Minnowbooster is now looking more competitive in the realm of promotional services to steemit post. Not to forget Minnowbooster has a strong anti-spam policy to fight against plagiarism and the professionalism of this particular bot is well know in this community.

I am sure adding steem as a valid bid option in Minnowbooster for promoting a post will prove to be a big turn up for 2019.

Thank you and Have a great day.
