New Features
Minimum voting power
The bot has a minimum voting power at which it operates. Voting is halted if the power is below that minimum.
The API call to chekc the voting power is asynchronous so I placed it in the voter function. Then we can compare it with the minimum allowed:
if (parseInt(response[0].voting_power) < minimum_power ){
console.log("Voting power too low to proceed!")
return;
}
Minimum/Maximum reputation
We can now specify the reputation of the steemians we want to support. You can now target minnows, newbies, or wise old steemians.
Whitelist power
The whitelisted accounts get automatic upvotes on all the articles they publish. You can now choose the voting power percentage in the configuration.
Blacklist tags
Running this bot, I noticed a lot of tag abuse/spam. I already implemented a blacklist and filled it. I noticed some abusers were using the same tags. The idea for the bot is to avoid the tags I am not interested in.
//tags blacklisted
config.blacklist_tags.forEach(function(blacklistTag){
if (metaJSON.tags.includes(blacklistTag)){
console.log("Tag blacklisted: ", blacklistTag," for article " + operation.permlink);
}
});
