It’s been years since I originally wrote the code for my Auto-Voter here on HIVE. When I started with it I was trying to build a semi-intelligent Curation Bot that would do a bit of analysis on posts and then vote accordingly to try and earn some decent Curation Rewards. Of course the goalposts have shifted a bit since then and so I still had a bunch of redundant analysis code in there. I kind of gave up on doing anything too clever with it so it’s turned out to be just a vanilla auto-voter. Regardless, it was time I cleaned it up.
I probably cut out almost half of the code that was in there and added a bit of error handling and logging to make it a bit more robust, but one of the things that my supported authors might notice is that my votes are now coming in faster. There used to be a 5 minute delay for curators, but I don’t think that matters now so it’s simpler to just See Post -> Vote Post and be done with it.
Admittedly I’ve been a bit slack with my development relating to HIVE, but I still run a couple of services and have some ideas for development that haven’t yet made it past the drawing board. I am trying to polish up my skills a bit and iron out some of the bugs I’ve been living with for a while. It you notice anything weird going on with my votes then please let me know.
