New Projects
- What is the project about?
This project has the target to give the control of a voting bot to a discord community.
With the resulting software it will be possible for a community to actively take part in the curation, even if most of the community members have low values in Steempower.
The Bot will be acting completely automatized, which means that the votes will be cast without any manual checks after the community has decided the worth of the contribution.
Therefore it is necessary to directly implement some security features starting with the registering of the community members with the combination of their Discord Name <> Steem Name.
Further security features, to avoid possible circle votes or unidirectional voting behaviour are already in planing.
The Bot will always aim to spend the whole 20% Voting Power per day. To achieve this it is most likely best to operate in a batch mode, collecting first all evaluations and then casting the votes in a batch.
To be able to do this, the community users will drop links in a special channel and then all other members will be able to evaluate the worth of the contribution by posting a thumbs up sign.
The final worth of the upvote results out of the ranking of each post, the more thumbs up the more percentage of vote.
- Technology Stack
The bot is written in Python using the discord and steempy API. It needs Python3.6 to run, iam planning to move this to my provider once it is completely ready.
For now it will reside on one of my Raspberry Pis.
- Roadmap
If this project is running like expected I will start finding delegators of Steempower, finally, for a very young and powerless community like the german one, this is a way of making it possible to curate, even if you are very low on Steempower.
The technical Roadmap includes a lot of security features as well as new functions like curating best article of the day/week/month.
A first project introduction to the german community has resulted in extremely positive feedback!
- How to contribute?
Currently, contribution is kind of hard. But once i have finished a stable and running version there will be a lot of features to be implemented!
- Current Status of the Software
I have finished the pure Discord parts and now am starting with the integration of all steem related functions. I plan to be able to finish this during the coming week and get the bot up and running on the next weekend.
- Repo
This is the repo: jedigeiss/dach-support. Only the pure discord part of the bot is currently ready.
