RE: "Piggy in the middle" | Streaming Steem Engine market to Discord | Free bot setup!

It kinda looks exactly like he took my code, and changed the icons .. If you look at the history in discord the icons changed from the defaults in mine here ..

Aah well. I've made some upgrades since posting that code, like nicer formatting for larger numbers etc ..

Plus I can do whatever custom changes people want to make it worth the change I was asking for the setup cost in my post.

Your solution inspired this post. Apologies, I will update this soon crediting you 🙂. I am not using your freely available code on Github—I rolled my own (even though I used the same icons during testing). I’m not a Python coder. I wanted to offer this to tribes as a ‘gift’. There was no intention to undercut you or offend you @ausbitbank. I’m not charging for it and your code was freely available. Just wanted to be useful 😰

Fair enough - more free services for the community can only be a good thing, and I was kinda asking for this releasing the code (even if you didn't use it here)...

Could you at least charge something for bot customizations if you aren't already ?
I didn't think 100 steem at these prices was greedy considering it comes with lifetime hosting, support and customisations..

Also your discord feed with all tokens enabled may start hitting the limits of what discord will allow over a single webhook if the market gets busy, that's why I didn't do that..

Phew! I really didn’t intend to step on the toes of our Minister of Welfare 🇦🇺. That’s true, I should charge something...but this way I’m under no obligation to continue it if I can no longer fund or support it. I’ve already implemented this for the UpFundMe (@upfundme) tribe and they have gifted me with some of their miners.

Once I have my morning coffee, I’ll update this post and refer them to you if they want something with more customisations. Freemium vs the ausbitbank premium version 🙂

Re Discord feed — was only temporary to see it ticking away across all tokens. Thanks for letting me know about the Discord webhook limit.

For your version where you set it up, are you hosting it or are they?

I'm hosting it (and the meeseeker instance, and the steemd to feed it)

Been meaning to move to Meeseeker but I fear being dependent on it and having a failure where I can’t switch to another node quickly.

I did build a similar solution using messageMQ for my alerting system but never went with it for that same fear.

Ultimately I want to strip indexing blocks from all my scripts.

It's worth setting up, being able to efficiently spin up a bunch of single purpose scripts that only have to deal with a specific type of chain event is super handy.

I'm moving a lot of my personal tools over - this discord bot was my first experiment with it after procrastinating for way too long.
