RE: WITNESS ANNOUNCEMENT - New Witness on the block - Partnering with @davemccoy

in #witness-category • 7 years ago

Finally! I've reserved a witness spot for you since your last announcement and now it's filled. You got my tiny vote, hehe. 😄

Suggestion for the whitelist-bidbot. I think the biggest problem would be maintaining the whitelist. If you are going to launch this, you can cooperate with other manual curators. Shanehug & smartsteem are manually creating the whitelist and if you can get the list it would be a lot easier.

haha, nice you kept that spot. Really appreciate it!

I will have to see about the vote bot. It is not a traditional bid bot. I wrote it first as a gift/tip bot where you could only send gifts to other users. But that can be abused and only lead to multiple accounts or friends sending gifts to each other, so I changed it to reduce complexity. Perhaps with a proper support system for the whitelist, it might be possible to manage this to prevent self-votes.

The whitelist will take a lot of work to manage, but perhaps it is doable in a community like MSP, where there is already a system in place to deal with registration checks and blacklist management.
