RE: A new voter bot - newer, smarter, freer

in #bots8 years ago (edited)

This is amazing, thank you so much!

One question I have, it only seems to go back so far in the Steemit history, is there a way to make it go back further, like for an initial run?

Edit: One glitch I found: Since I wanted to try a simple vote bot at first, I followed the steps for author_is_followed, the example says to use 1000 as the threshold, however the bot defaults to 1500 as a minimum so nothing happens.

"1000 < 1500, WILL NOT vote on post"

Sort:  

Thanks! 😄

Any time the bot runs it will fetch a maximum of 100 posts from the newest posts. This goes for the first run too, so this is probably only a few hours of posts. Do you think this should be extended on the initial run?

On your glitch, the reason why the threshold is 1500 is because the number of votes in the last 24 hours is above the limit. You can change the limit in the Edit Config settings, or just wait until there are less votes in the last 24 hours.

There's a bit of a missing feature in the statistics in that it doesn't show you clearly how many votes you've made in the last 24 hours, so it can be hard to know if you're over the limit. This is a planned feature tracked here.

Maybe an option for a "long run" ? Like on the main menu or something.

I've increased the number of votes per day to 100 - I don't think I was anywhere near this but even a weight of 10000 wasn't enough.. XD - I still can't get it to vote reliably.

I just wanted to use this as a simple vote bot since I can't read Steemit every day.

I'm sure I have some setting wrong but I don't know what that would be.

Cool, I'll consider how best to implement that long run idea, thanks for it.

I can try to help you figure it out better if you hit me up on steemit.chat in the #bots channel. Should be able to figure it out together 😁
