# UFMBOT
We now have a basic upvote bot that takes in UFM to be burned in exchange for STEEM upvotes. This bot will be live until we buy bidbot software from steem-engine. **Some posts received upvotes from @ufmbot during testing, check to make sure @ufmbot has not voted on your post already before sending UFM.** - Send at least 0.5 UFM to @ufmbot with the post you want upvoted as the memo. - 50 UFM gives a 100% upvote. **(May change at a later date!)** - **Bot does not comment.** - Max post age: 6 days - This is not a bidbot! - Bot will upvote even if current voting power is low. - Bot can **not** upvote the same post more than once. - All sent UFM is burned! - **No automatic refunds!** You can use steem keychain, steem-engine or your [upfund.me](https://www.upfund.me) wallet. When VP reaches 99%, a vote may be sold on minnowbooster or smartmarket to keep our Steem Power from being wasted and to help buy up more leases.
# Checking Vote Power
Before you buy an upvote you should check @ufmbot's current vote power. If vote power is low, you should wait to buy your upvote for increased rewards. You should also check to see if the amount of UFM needed has changed, this information will be available in @ufmbot's about us section on any steem front end. The best place to find all this information is from our [steempeak blog](https://steempeak.com/@ufmbot) and hovering over the info icon.

Steem keychain is the easiest way to send UFM to @ufmbot.
