I don't care about that, what does it do differently? It's next on my list, I'll be making installation instructions for this and making any changes to the code to make local install more simple. It should be possible to run the server locally, but I haven't tested it. Thankfully our bot doesn't require that much and I believe it can be run entirely for free (though it's up to you to verify this, like any of my other claims 😅). Heroku is a popular cloud computing service particularly popular with startups because it is free to use if you don't require much power. In stark contrast with any voting service, this means you do not give your posting key to another Steem user, your keys remain under your control.Ĭurrently the bot is designed to work as a Heroku deployment. The second most different structural thing, is that you set up the bot to run as your own server, not on someone else servers, as is the norm. Steemit and the Steem blockchain are written as FOSS themselves, as well as countless other widely used software, so it's clear we all benefit from this approach, whereas only a few will benefit from the closed source model. I do however believe in freely available software and I think voter bots are no exception. I want to make clear that I don't disagree with this approach or oppose these ventures (at least not simply because they are commercial). There's other bots that you can get added to, like a trail, or you can even pay someone to make a bot for you. Most of these bots are commercial ventures, albeit often small scales ones, so there's often some cost, usually just casting a vote for the creators account.
There's already tons of voter bots and services, why do this?Īll other well made voter bots I've seen are closed source, which means you cannot inspect the source or use it for yourself, and will be protected under a much more restrictive license. My original proposal for this idea is here. the license permits) modifying the code for your own purposes. This means the source is freely available and open to (i.e. 😁 FOSS stands for Free and Open Source Software. I've named it Steem FOSSbot Voter, or Voter for short. During that time, instead of writing articles, I've been using my free time to attempt to make a smart, free voter bot. I haven't written a proper article on Steemit in 28 days.
There's a lot of features, but you'll have to read on find out. Note, some assembly require but batteries included 🤓 There's a purple button you press to set it all up. You can check it out on GitHub, it runs as a Node.js server, designed for Heroku.
To automatically vote for posts that you would vote for anyway while also maximising curation rewards, bot by voting more regularly than a human can, and by picking great content which will probably be popular too.
I've made a bot you can use for free which is pretty dope.
