Day 13

One thing that any person who cares for African Clawed Frogs will tell is that they're surprisingly intelligent (in addition to their wide variety of personalities). My frog Thomas was always inquisitive, any time I put something new in the tank for them to figure out (such as a new resting place) he'd be the first to figure it out and the others would follow his example. Black Eyes was always a bit of a social recluse and Jesus was mellow. Of my two currently remaining, Scout's a bit jumpy, and Tiny is the most sociable, she'll sit in your hand if you put it in the water - waiting for you to give her food, of course!

You can see personality differences in the tadpoles already, some startle easily while others will swim right up to you. With 82 of them in the tank it's of course impossible to track long term personality changes, though given the the dramatic difference between Tiny's extreme shyness when I first got her 6 years ago (to the point that I had to bring food to the place she was hiding to get her to eat, she just refused to grow for the first few months) and the extroversion she shows now, I know whoever buys them will get to see plenty of social development.

The tadpoles seem to have a few "Thomases" in their midst. A few days ago, I noticed a few tadpoles liked to scrape along the sides to eat the tadpole powder that's stuck to the walls of the tank as if they were in a cafeteria; a day later, there were a few more doing it and now almost everyone does it! As soon as I start putting the food in, they started planting their faces on the glass waiting for the food to come to them, they really love to congregate in the corners for some reason.tadpoles don't utilize schooling behavior, so I imagine it's just the result of an aquatic traffic jam as they travel in opposite directions.

Ha! They do have a bit of a resemblance now that you mention it, especially while they're in motion.

the negative sides at Steem....
Even though I expose myself to the risk of being flagged by some big ones at Steem now, I still publish my opinion.

In the last days it was always like this when I bought upvotes at any bot I got a spam comment from @transparencybot

The programmer of the bot pretends to do something good for the Steem community. But in reality he uses the delegate Steem Power to upvote his other accounts at Steem. He has also been buying high upvote sums from other bot for months. He owns many accounts at Steem and runs several bot. Why would he do that? Form your own opinion. This hypocrisy that exists here is really bad. At the beginning I really enjoyed it and I was happy to be a member of the Steem Community. But the dark sides, which are not to be overlooked if you are a little closer to one are not to be underestimated. Above all, there is nothing worse than some people who think they have to act up again. But they themselves are only interested in their advantages. They have the advantage that they have been with us for a longer time and have built up such a circle where one licks each other daily. That's how you make a pretty penny, no matter what bullshit you say.

Did I buy Upvotes for this post? But of course, and I will keep him under tranding as long as possible.

The developer of @transparencybot, @bycoleman has purchased delegated SP from Minnowbooster and up-voted his other accounts over the last 7 days @introbot 47% of the time, @botreporter 25% of the time, transparency bot 25% of the time and himself 2.9% of the time.

Producing multiple accounts and up-voting that account can be seen as taking advantage of the rewards pool. One person with multiple accounts may be looked into and addressed if/when illicit activity is noticed.

This information is being presented in the interest of transparency on our platform @bycoleman and is by no means a judgement of your work.

In addition @bycoleman has used the following bidbots in a previous post:

buildawhale for 69.63, $278.52 USD
upmyvote for 25.36, $101.44 USD
minnowbooster for 22.23, $88.92 USD
boomerang for 18.07, $72.28 USD
smartsteem for 12.21, $48.84

Dollar amounts have been taken from the current Steem price.

to everyone where the bot publishes something, worth your while and don't take it. Write this post by me under every post he publishes.

There's gonna be another answer from a bot everyone knew about. I didn't know. Let's act together against such people and publish the message wherever the bot writes something.

Everybody knows I, @bycoleman have used bidbots in the past, I have stated this clearly on several occasions, In-fact, I have instructed others on how to use them.

The profits from these boosted posts were donated or given back to the platform via contests.

I lease SP from an individual not MB, build team is simply the intermediary, and they do a very fine job with this.

Yes, I have several accounts that I believe are assets to the platform, which I support directly and indirectly to ensure they are able to perform as they are intended. @Tranparencybot is non-profit, these votes will not return back to me.

I do hope to profit from my other services, it takes a great deal of time and resources to create and maintain these and each of them I believe are assets to the community. Each person is free to judge accordingly.

Is your intent transparency or to discredit the messenger?

I believe most people can see our motives pretty clearly.
