Hello #steemians,
Hello loyal #followers,

great news to announce:

The original Hive account@resteembot is back!

And it comes back

• faster,
• more user-friendly,
• super cheap as usual,
• with new features,
• with some surprises and events
• and active support.

Where do we start? Let's start at the very beginning:

Physics comes from the Ancient Greek word physikḗ. Physikḗ means the science of natural things and it is there in Ancient Greece that our story begins. It's a warm summer evening circa 600 B.C.; You've finished your shopping at the local market or agora and you look over the night sky and there you notice some of the stars seem to move. So you name them "planetes" or "wanderer".

— Sheldon Lee Cooper Ph.D., Sc.D. from Big Bang Theory

OK... Not that far back. Let's try again:

Chapter 1 Quick introduction

What is Hive account@resteembot?

The name is program. Hive account@resteembot is a bot that resteems articles or posts to its followers. Hive account@resteembot gives you another chance to appear in people's feeds. At the moment of writing the bot has 9000+ followers!

How to use Hive account@resteembot?

The usage is super easy.

1. Follow Hive account@resteembot
2. Send a transaction to Hive account@resteembot
   • The public memo must be the URL of the post that you want the bot to resteem.
   • The price is minimum 0.001 SBD depending on your reputation.

That's it! Your post will be resteemed by Hive account@resteembot.
A few more details below.

Chapter 2: Detailed instructions

memo

The memo must be a valid steemit.com URL, e.g.

https://steemit.com/resteembot/@resteembot/a-story-about-resteeming-bots

• You can resteem any valid steemit.com URL.

But every post can only be resteemed once. Make sure to chose a good time for your post to be resteemed.

• It is possible to resteem other peoples posts.[1]

You can do that if there is an article that you think is worth to be shared.
Or if you want to push a poor #steemfriend by sharing one of his or her articles.
But the price depends on your reputation, not the authors one! (More details below.)

price

Now the part of this post everybody is interested in and not the other bla bla bla of the author.

resteembot was always very cheap, espacially for new #steemians. And this will remain in the future.

If your reputation is below 30 the price to resteem a post is only 0.001 SBD.
If your reputation is 30 or higher the price is your reputation divided by 1000 in SBD.

Here again in pseudo-code

if reputation < 30
    price = 0.001
else
    price = reputation / 1000

It's quite easy, isn't it?

If your reputation is 42 the price is 0.042 SBD.
If your reputation is 69 the price is 0.069 SBD.
If your reputation is 420 the price is 0.420 SBD.

And so on.

Feel free to send a higher amount. This will be accepted as a donation and can not be refunded!

And another surprise might be the events.

Events

Starting the relaunch of Hive account@resteembot today at the singles day 11.11., I came up with the idea to give discounts from time to time.

To celebrate the comeback of Hive account@resteembot, the singles day and to honor the brave readers that made it until the end, every resteem will be free for every follower starting now for two days until 2021-11-13 23:59 UTC.
Just send a transfer with 0.001 Steem or 0.001 SBD with the URL of the post that you want to resteem to Hive account@resteembot and it will resteem your post and refund your transaction.

Two last hints:

1. If you send more then 0.001 Steem or SBD this will be recognized as a donation.[2] Thanks!
2. The bot is now in Alpha testing phase for it's comeback. Please be patient, if something does not work. Contact Hive account@resteembot or Hive account@befaro and we will try to fix issues as soon as possible.

Wish you all a nice day :)

[1]: Which reminds me to add a feature to post a comment under a resteemed post like "Congratulations! Your post has been resteemed by @<name_of_sponsor>." I'll put that on the feature list.
[2]: I should also add a 'thanks for donation' function. Feature list is still growing.
