You might remember our post announcing a huge 20 steem bounty for what seemed like a little, easy to fix bug. Many people suggested to use multi threading to deal with discord. py API's problems, and while I was hard at work trying to make it happen, someone submitted a pull request with a much easier, better fix, which also made the bot much faster.
It was no other than @mys with his contribution that handled the issue by... refusing to use python-steem API. Turns out, all of the big websites ditch JS, Python and PHP APIs in favor of api.steemit.com. He made use of that, and with a simple json request use made the bot not only magnitudes faster, but fixed the infamous freeze that was stopping SockoBot from ever being deployed to big Discord servers. This solution (along with a new look for our response message you can see above!) has now been merged into the project and is the official solution to the issue.

Thank You for remembering me!
That was about 3 months age when all the python-based bots just stopped working.. Sometimes it is better to search for an alternative than trying to workaround bugged part :/
What the hell does this have to do with anything, you fake-accounting ID thief?
Congratulations! Your submission earned you 0.028 STEEM from this bounty. You have received 0.000 STEEM from the creator of the bounty and 0.028 STEEM from the community!
