Steemfollower/Steemauto problems & Why? & What is the solution?
<center>![Untitled-1.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeZ7t44ZwC2YdugAWREFJ7G8e4DFhyaqngcirNsAQUpxP/Untitled-1.png)</center>

since 1 week ago we have many problems in Steemfollower and in Steemauto.
for example:
- transferring problem in the SF (steemfollower) market
- upvoting problem in SF
- Login problem in SF
- Fanbase and curation trail problems in SA (steemauto)
- and ...

### Why we have these problems?
First I want to explain how SF and SA and most of steem based apps works.
we need a way to make a connection between our apps and steem blockchain. for this purpose we can use RPC nodes/websockets.
You can see list of public steem RPC nodes [here](https://www.steem.center/index.php?title=Public_Websocket_Servers)
since official steemit node turned off in the recent week, I used all of the listed nodes and we had problem with all of them.
another problem is there are not any way to use a backup node!

so, Why we can't use a private rpc node?
the answer is: we can use. but, the problem is the server costs!
for running an RPC node for steem blockchain, we need a server with about 256GB RAM! and some powerful SSD storage and a high speed internet connection for handling many RPC/websocket connections.
also, the server should be 100% stable!

I want to run a private rpc node for steemfollower and steemauto and use it without any problem. I should pay about 500 USD per month for running something stable.
yes, I can make 500 USD by my steem account since SBD and STEEM prices are high! but I can't predict the future of these coins.

I have 3 options:
1- Create a donation page and ask for donations in steemfollower and steemauto.
I don't want to take your hard earned STEEM or SBD. I will find another option.
2- Make some premium features and take money for using them.
I want to keep steemfollower and steemauto free of costs.
3- Add daily one post to the sites which should be upvoted by users before using the web site. (last option)
this option is not fair! users should upvote if they like, not by force.

I need more ideas. please participate and help to growing steemfollower and steemauto.

I want to create a better platform for steem users. and will continue to work on it to make it better than steemit, busy, or any other similar programs.
after a few weeks you will see something different in steemfollower.
***
What do you think?
if you have any suggestion or any idea, please share in comments. (good comments will get some rewards)

>also, another way to covering the server cost is running a high rank steem witness!
you can vote for `mahdiyari` as a witness [here](https://steemit.com/~witnesses)
scroll down and you will see a form for voting low rank witnesses.
at least vote for one witness in steem community! it is important for steem future.

Have you considered running a bid bot? What is the minimum steem delegation? Require all users of your free services to delegate the minimum to a bid bot owned by you that you can make money off of. Also everyone could be placed in the bid bot's curation trail so the bot would increase the curation reward for each post and earn more SP.

I'm a young Steemian and would do it if the minimum isn't too high. After all, I make money  through curation on your services.



Thanks for the post.
Thanks for all you do.
Keep Steeming!

This is a nice idea, combined with a premium feature. If you delegate to the bot you can get premium features. 

And yes as a minnow, steemfollowers have helped me so much.

Thanks. I'm sure other options exist but this is all I could  think of right now.

I have been using steemfollowers for some weeks now and I can say it has helped me a lot. It deals with the biggest problem in steemit, visibility. Instead of using voting bots now my posts can have more organic views and I can promote them even more. 

As for suggestions, number 2 could be nice, see more features if you are premium like less cost for promotion or maybe more % points. However, I can see how whales can rack up more points this way but could be worth it.

For number 3 I can see the problem. Maybe you could make it as a bonus, if you vote one daily steemfollowers posts you get 2x points for that post compared to regular votes. This way you earn more points for your vote power and you have the option to do it or not. With a 2x bonus I would definitely do it.

I am not sure why the market was taken down but if it comes back you can take a percentage (10% or something similar).

@jerrybanfield do a lot of steem budget proposals. You could contact him and maybe send a proposal for him to review.

I will see if I have more ideas. I think these projects specially steemfollowers are one of the best features steemit could have.

I agree with option no.3 that's awesome. If possible try collaborating with some big shots such as the steembudget proposals by Jerry Banfield, etc. That would be super duper cool or just go with option 3.

I think bid bot is the best one as we all are more than 9000 steemian,if we combine our sp it will be more than what @upme vote value is.
Also for steem follower members it should be more profitable so in return more outsiders will be attracted towards steem follower and hence more members means more sp.

Thanks for letting us know. I would prefer the last option. Upvoting is no skin off anyone's nose. You should be paid better for what is a great service. I'm happy to auto upvote the creator.

I have been using steem followers for a week or two now. But i got a lot of contact followers and an upvote which otherwise i wouldnt have get both. 
The problem is very understandable and i think having a 9000 users is a bigger advantage than the problem itself has created. 

The solution i propose would be to have one vote from 9000 users is a bigger asset and opportunity. Their  is an ethiopian saying 50 lemons are a heavy burden to one person but 1 lemon for fifty persons is a treasure.

So why not we use a circulateive vote useage where one person should give one vote per week or more. The duration might be variable. When 9000/7days  would be 1285 upvote value per day which is good value. So think about revolving vote and if anybody wants to give more vote the system can give a little insentive to promote for an hour or more.

Respect

@mahdiyari  - I think running a donations section on Steemfollower is the best idea.   With Steem 6 $ and SBD at 8$,  to get 500$ per month, you need just a donation of about 60-65 SBD.  With more than 9000 users, if you make an appeal,  getting 65 SBD a month is not problem.  Even if SBD plunged in future by some unfortunate problem,  I think even a 1000 out of 9000 users donated 50 cents each per month, it would be sufficient.   
Thanks for putting in all the hardwork.  Upvoted the post through Steemfollower

Take a 10% fee in the market and then have steemfollower resell half of those points.  I'm not sure what the sales volume is but I'd like to think this would get close to covering server costs.

I think running a donation on Steemfollower is the best thought. With Steem 6 $ and SBD at 8$, to get 500$ every month, you require only a gift of around 60-65 SBD. With more than 9000 clients, in the event that you make an interest, getting 65 SBD a month isn't issue. Regardless of whether SBD dove in future by some shocking issue, I think even a 1000 out of 9000 clients gave 50 cents each every month, it would be adequate. 

A debt of gratitude is in order for putting in all the hardwork. Upvoted the post through Steemfollower

What will happen if I vote you as my witness Sir/Ma'am @Valth @mahdiyari ?
You will see my blogs is that the purpose of the witness? Haha.
I'm sorry for not getting the logic. ^_^

Hello, @mahdiyari.

I have a problem regarding Steemauto that I hope you can respond to. I have been a fan of @cryptoctopus there for a while, but every once in a while it ends up being automatically disabled, and I have to manually enable it again. The issue is not low voting weight (in fact it is at 100 %), and I also have more than enough bandwidth on my account. Do you have any solution to this? :)

And thanks for making this great app by the way. It's a really nice way to upvote my favorite authors.

it can be because of bandwidth issue too!
bandwidth is a problem in whole steem blockchain.

Ok, thanks for replying, @mahdiyari! Do you know if there is a solution? Like is there anything I can do to make sure I don't have to reactivate it every few days? :)

I would support you for SteemAuto. Promotion for example. I think we should just collect some money for now and worry about long-term financing later. You say you don't know how Steem will develop but even if it justs stays as it is it will be super profitable to produce content regularly. Make posts about SteemAuto on Utopian, use the blog function and style it very nicely. then you get some extra upvotes. Just make your websites run for now and start bringing in some money through decent posts.

Hi Mahdi.  Thanks for 2 great products that make the Steemit platform easier and better.

I'm going to vote for you as a witness because you are the first to offer me any reason why I should vote for them :)  But I do not think your witness payment should go for regular expenses on your products.  I think they should fund themselves.  So, in the order I like best:

Donations.  I'd really like to think that your products and the platform in general to make this work.  I'm not sure if that's the case, but I'd really like that if it were so.

Premium add ons.  In my mind this is the most likely scenario.  I'm in if that is your decision.  

Mandatory upvote a post.  My least favorite option for the exact reasons you stated.

There are my ideas.  I'll support no matter what choice you make, and THANK YOU for all the work and time you put in.
