<h1>WEED CASH BOT FOR HIVE <p dir="auto"><code>my_name = @loonatic<br /> Got the Python connection 😎 <p dir="auto"><code>code by @felixxx <p dir="auto"><code>gif's made by @bubblegif <p dir="auto">As you may have noticed, we built a comment bot for Hive and it has been operational for some weeks now. We are still working out some kinks and additional features. <h2>🥦 how it works 🥦 <ul> <li>bot scans all hive transactions, constantly <li>if the bot-command (<code>!WEED) is in the <code>body of a comment, the bot checks: <ul> <li>if the user has <em>successfuly used the bot in the last 24h <li>ìf the user has enough WEED CASH tokens staked (420) <li>if the user isn't op <li>if all above criteria are matched: <ul> <li>the bot votes the op <li>the bot transfers WEED to op <li>the bot stores the operation in its persistent DB <p dir="auto">The original reply gets edited until it reaches 4 users, to avoid spam. <h2>Further development <p dir="auto"><span>Right now I (<a href="/@felixxx">@felixxx) am rebuilding the block-stream, to make it more robust. Hive nodes are unreliable and hive-engine nodes even more so. <p dir="auto">Obviously, the bot can not trigger on every command; this could be easily abused and cause spam.<br /> There are many ways to solve this issue, and if you can put it into plain English, I can probably code it that way. <p dir="auto">As this is being used by a community, I'd like to ask the community how to go about some questions, but please keep in mind, that we want a non-intrusive bot and not annoy people. Please also consider how there will always be people trying to abuse a service like this and that we have to make sure this is not worth the effort: <h4>Should the bot trigger only on main posts? <p dir="auto">...or should the bot also trigger on replies? (as it does now)<br /> If so: how deep?<br /> Should replies be treated differently than main posts? <h4>Should the bot only be useable every 24h? <p dir="auto">It could work on a precharge basis, where users can charge the bot with WEED.<br /> It could also be any number of hours.<br /> Or a mix of both? <h4>Are there any other features you would like to see? <p dir="auto">I can give the bot a discord functionality, so it can do jobs on Discord, too.<br /> Registration, charging, triggering... again: <blockquote> <p dir="auto">if you can put it into plain English, I can probably code it that way. <p dir="auto">If I like the feature and it is easy to build, I can add it to the bot.<br /> If it gets complicated or is something I don't enjoy building, you can always pay me 💵. <h2>Final notes <p dir="auto"><span>I (<a href="/@felixxx">@felixxx) am building this in my spare time and for free. <p dir="auto">If you want access to the code or if you want a custom built bot for your community, contact me here or better on Discord.
