The numbers don't add up for me. They show that SP rose by about 1SP, but you show curation rewards of less than 1SP?
Does your bot look at all Steem posts and use algorithm to vote based on criteria that you have built in?

If I understand the question, I do think the numbers are right (almost). I just double checked my arithmetic:

239.959 (March 1) + 0.971 (Curation rewards) = 240.93 (March 31)

With the caveat that I simplified it by ignoring the change in STEEM / VEST during that time, so it is slightly overstating the curation rewards. A small portion of that delta actually came from blockchain "interest".

Does your bot look at all Steem posts and use algorithm to vote based on criteria that you have built in?

Yes, it looks at every post. Although, that could also be tuned if the blockchain ever gets so busy that I need to reduce costs. There's no reason that it really has to look at every post, as long as it is making good use of its voting strength.

What is the electricity cost per month of running your in-house server? Is it greater than or equal to $0.18?

Good question, but it's hard to answer. I leave the computer on 24x7 anyway, so I'd have to look at the marginal electricity cost with and without the bot, and I'm not sure how to do that. Also, the computer is running World Community Grid, so any resources that the bot consumes would probably be pulled away from what I'm donating to scientific research. In that sense, it's costing them instead of me.
