We've been in a situation where the sbd/steem ratio makes it that having your posts as 50/50 is way more interesting that fully powering up. This is cool but this means that what used to be done in one click "redeem" is now done in considerabely more time, you have to switch pages to the market etc. It takes like 10 seconds but if you're like me and can't stand to have sbd standing around it's very annoying because sometimes I have to do this several times a day. And for a programmer, doing repetitive taks is unacceptable especially when it can be automated simply.
Hence :
Steem reward manager or srm for short
Source code can be found on the Github repository
Srm is a tool to automatically redeem your steem rewards, and if they contain sbd, go to the internal market to buy steem with it at the current market price. It will check every minute if there is pending rewards or not.
To use it, update the file "config.js" and put as many account as you want. Just don't forget that the script needs your active key (because I execute some market calls).
This means that you will always have liquid steem, never again will you see the "redeem reward" button nor sbd.
Technology Stack
The script is made in nodejs and uses Steem-js. The easiest way to run it is to use pm2
ideally this is what you would do :
git clone git@github.com:drov0/Steem-reward-manager.git
cd Steem-reward-manager/
npm install --save
nano config.js # Edit to put your account(s) and active key(s)
pm2 start redeemer.js
Future developments
In the future I might adapt this script to add some more options :
- Place limit orders instead of market
- Power up the liquid steem
