Manually set your a witness price feed with steem-python if it is too far off

[themarkymark]

If you are using Conductor for your price feed, it may be so far off that it won't update.

If you see something like the following, you will need to manually kickstart your price feed.

The easiest way to do this is to just check the current price on CoinMarketCap and look for the USD value of Steem.

Make sure you have Steem-python installed and your witness active key stored in the steempy wallet. Type in python3 and type the following:

from steem import Steem
steem = Steem()
steem.witness_feed_publish(current_steem_price_in_usd, 1.00, account="your_witness_user_name")

You will be asked for your wallet password, and it will update your price feed. From there you can just run conductor feed and it will take it from there and update on a regular basis. You will need to put the price of steem in USD in the first argument and in the final argument use your witness username without the @ sign.

Quite techy but it's always good to learn.
I might need this someday, so I'll bookmark it now.

Thanks for sharing this with us.

Lets hope the active witnesses who aren't updating their feed starts to now that you showed them how.

A lot don't care, a lot don't know.
It's not really a system that has a lot of feedback on what is going on.

Off Topic question: Have you ever get back 1200 STEEM from OpenLedger?

[themarkymark]

Yes, it just took a few weeks

[veleje]

Well, better late than newer ;-)
I'm glad you got it, not just for you but for everyone.
Less bad experiences there are, better for all of us :-)

commenting so I remember to do this :)

[themarkymark]

I just suggest coinmarketcap as you just need something relatively close as the script will avoid updating your price feed if it is too far from the last update. This is only for witnesses.

Someone tells me this is because steemit uses a median price from the last 3 days and busy uses market price.
