A basic Steem votebot created by @blockbrothers
What is the project about?
This is a basic Steem votebot. You can add accounts to track and it will automatically upvote posts made via those accounts.
There are several settings that specify the vote percentage, how many times a day an account can receive votes, and the delay before a vote is cast. This can be set for each account individually:
# Specify the accounts you'd like the bot to track.
WATCHED_ACCOUNTS = {
'blockbrothers': { # account name (without the `@`)
'weight': 100.0, # vote percentage [defaults to 100%]
'delay': 5 * MINUTE, # minimum delay before voting [defaults to 30min]
'max_per_day': 2, # maximum votes cast per day (=24h period) [defaults to 1]
},
}
The votebot is fully written in Python and can be easily deployed via Docker. Full instructions are in the readme: https://github.com/blockbrothers/votebot
Technology Stack
Created in Python (3.6+) and deployed via Docker.
Roadmap
Future enhancements might include an option to vote on behalf of multiple accounts or dynamic vote weight based on different preconditions.

Hi Ben, it looks great to me but I have no idea how to implement this. I looked at the github readme, but that didn't make me any wiser. When I a back from France I will ask @exyle to help me, but I think there are a many people like me who have no idea. Is it possible to make things easier for us ' technical dumbo's'?
I will try to find some time to make this into a hosted service with some sort of a web interface.
For now, It’s more for people that already have a server running 24/7 themselves. It was actually made on request for @nanzo-scoop, but I figured that more people might want to use this as a base to build their own bots.
It would be great to have a bot you can send exactly the way you want to. I never use a bot, but it would be great to have your own.
i agree, things should be easier for us to understand it.

Thanks!
new invention thanks for this votebot definitely going for it, blessings, love,
@bennierex After installing and configuring the bot, it seems like it's working according to its log, but the posts do not get an upvote. What steps would you recommend for debugging this issue?
It could have something to do with the posting key or the steemd node it's connected to. Could you contact me on steemit.chat to sort it out?
