Minor bugfix for POCKET code

in #pocket7 years ago


<p dir="auto"><span>Greetings, Pocket users and fellow Steemians! This is just a quick update about an unusual issue that affected <a href="/@paul.atreides">@paul.atreides recently. The old code wasn't properly sanitizing permlinks and was mistakenly including the period in Paul's account name as part of the permlink in a confirmation. When it tried to post the confirmation with the malformed permlink, it was rejected by the Steem network. <h2>If you're running a confirmer bot, you may upgrade to the latest code by pulling my latest commits to <code>master from <a href="https://github.com/biophil/pocket" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">the github. <p dir="auto"><span>Upgrading is not urgent, as my <a href="/@pocket-a">@pocket-a bot is running the new code and is capable of posting the correctly-formed confirmations. <p dir="auto"><a href="https://bitshares.openledger.info/?r=zebulon" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">sign up for Bitshares using this link.<span>As always, if you need a Bitshares account so you can trade POCKET IOU tokens issued by <a href="/@virtualgrowth">@virtualgrowth, you can <h2>For more information <ul> <li><a href="https://steemit.com/pocket/@virtualgrowth/exchanging-pocket-between-steem-and-bitshares-read-to-send-pocket-to-bitshares" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Trade POCKET on Bitshares <li><a href="https://steemit.com/pocket/@biophil/pocket-protocol" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Pocket Protocol Specification <li><a href="https://steemit.com/pocket/@biophil/pocket-announcement" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Pocket Announcement Post <li><a href="https://github.com/biophil/pocket" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">@biophil's Pocket Confirmer Github <li><a href="https://steemit.com/steem/@biophil/mist-a-meta-model-for-steem-subchains" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">My meta-subchain post <li><a href="https://steemit.com/steem/@dantheman/how-anyone-can-build-custom-apps-on-steem-right-now" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Dan's original post on subchains

I believe that pocket will be a big successful hit if all goes well with SMT...lets keep our fingers crossed and thanks for the great innovative product. Also thanks for writing a post on SMT which motivated me to write my latest post on how Steem will be EOS and Ethereum killer-I cited you there, pls feel free to see it. Wish you more success.

Biophil, I was wondering if you could do something about multiple confirmation messages per transaction. Right now 3 bots are confirming each transaction and making replies. Just think what will happen if we have 10 such bots. I give POCKET tokens to my commentors, but now these bot messages are becoming a spam on my post. Is it possible that once a bot confirms the transaction, then other bots don't reply or if they reply they delete it. Something like that.

Yeah, I agree it's becoming a nuisance. The problem is that they are all submitting the transactions at once as they race to get the fee.

Deleting extra confirmations is probably the way to go; I'll look into it.

Sorry for the spamminess!

Nah, no need for sorry. These things keep requiring maintenance. I know you are doing your job well!

Que penas que no hablo ingles

como actualizarlo y de que bot están hablando aquí. explíqueme uno que hable español.. por favor

@biophil menciona que es necesario actualizar el software de los bots que confirman las transacciones de Pocket desde su página de github https://github.com/biophil/pocket.

Solo es importante para quienes administran el software de Pocket.

Followed. Want to learn more about your voting bot later. It's an interesting idea IMO.

The voting bot has been a fun one. I haven't done any active development on it in a long time due to my work on Pocket and other stuff, but I've got a lot of ideas kicking around I'd like to try. Someday, you know, in that imaginary future when I have free time to tinker. :)

No kidding...I have way to many ideas. If I could only clone myself about 8 times over.
