Behind the scenes at LUV

It's time to pull back the curtain and see LUV behind the scenes.

I'm not sure that sounds exactly the way that I expected.

Transparency has been something I've striven for with @LUVshares (LUV) and @hivebits (HBIT). So, here's a behind-the-scenes look at the LUVbot in action. The video was made in real time. Between a LUV (or HBIT) command and a reply back is usually about 60 seconds or so.

What is shown

There are three gears working here: (1) the bot, the (2) Discord server, and (3) the Hive blockchain.

1. The bot running on the VPS (virtual private server)
2. The Discord log channel
3. A !LUV command issued on the Hive blockchain
4. The bot picking it up and sharing LUV
5. The Discord log picking it up and logging the info
6. The confirmation reply back on the Hive blockchain

The take-away

Anyone who uses LUV or HBIT can monitor things in the "log" channels of the LUV/HBIT Discord server. As you can see in the 3Speak video, things happen there in near real time with the bot itself.

The log channels are good for transparency and are good if you ever wonder, "Did my command get picked up by the bot?"
