Motivation
As content curators, one thing we are always careful of is how we use our voting power. Voting power recharges at a rate of 20% / 24 hours. Unfortunately, if we come across posts within a few minutes or few hours of each other, upvoting them becomes an exercise of sacrifice. We reduce our voting effectiveness in order to save our voting power.
The reason boils down to needing to submit a vote instantly. We can avoid this hassle if only there were a feature that allowed us to defer our voting until such a time as our voting power had recharged such that we no longer needed to sacrifice voting effectiveness. What if we could queue up votes for content and let the vote happen in such a way that maximized its benefit?
That's what this bot does.
Notice this is just an example of the bot. It functions as is and is part of a greater project of examples.
How it works
Reply to comments and posts
Use the following template to reply to content you want to upvote.
## My Ultimate is Charging
The bot uses the reply to determine what content to upvote
Run the bot
The bot runs in a docker container using the command:
export STEEM_NAME=<your steem name>
export STEEM_WIF=<your posting key>
docker run -d --rm -e STEEM_NAME=$STEEM_NAME -e STEEM_WIF=$STEEM_WIF r351574nc3/upvote-queue-steem-bot:latest
You can also add it to your environment rc:
STEEM_NAME=<your steem name>
STEEM_WIF=<your posting key>
export STEEM_NAME STEEM_WIF
alias upvote-bot="docker run -d --rm -e STEEM_NAME=$STEEM_NAME -e STEEM_WIF=$STEEM_WIF r351574nc3/upvote-queue-steem-bot:latest"
Requirements
- Docker this project uses docker, so all requirements are encapsulated within the docker image. The only requirement is to have docker installed.
Roadmap
- Tutorial for modifying the reply template
- Adjustable/configurable upvote percentage

Am I doing it right?
Yeah, but the bot has to be running for you. When I start it up, it starts with
-e STEEM_NAME=$STEEM_NAME. It votes as you for whoever you reply to. Things it won't do:Unless that's what you did, you should try installing docker and running the bot. Ezpz
My apologies but I believe Im not really sure still how it works. Sorry for that.
I'll contact you on discord one of these days. Knowledge is power! Hahaha
That's cool. Hit me up any time. I can walk you through it. Then maybe you can write a tutorial on it and get some rep from @utopian-io
