Specifically where have all the Piston based bots gone, mine is giving errors all over the place. I can see some other bots in action that are a different implementation. I seem to have missed the memo and there doesn't look like a lot of chatter about it. Has a bot non-proliferation treaty been signed?
That is really odd. That could explain the drop in vote count.

So I asked Cleverbot...
Where have all the Steemit bots gone?
Cleverbot: In the cupboards.
Dafuq are they doing in there?
Cleverbot: They are being vaccumes?
Uh..ok. Well that's weird.
Cleverbot: Not really, how so?
Bots don't belong in the cupboards. They belong on Steemit.
Cleverbot: Where do they belong?
Steemit. I just said that.
Cleverbot: No I didn't.
You're not so clever after all, are you?
Cleverbot: Neither are you.
Ouch, Clever bot...Ouch.

Sadly, I use bot to encourage steemians. I delegated my upvote to bot and read they posting later then in my free time I read it and leaved comment. Nice ! :)

Mine stopped working a couple days ago too. Not sure why. Something funny going on with steemit.com and piston.rocks websockets. I switched to one of the others on this list to get going again. I guess the more permanent solution is to set up a full node locally and run the bot against that.

I think that is how the current operational bots are running, but I guess a lot use Piston for simplicity and less hardware requirement like myself

I use piston too. You can adjust it to use other websockets, including your own steemd node. Hardware is an issue for me too though. For mining, I'm running 4 steemd nodes in 2 linux VMs with 4 or 8 G of RAM each. But because of the database size, they're all configured as low-memory nodes, which doesn't give me all the information I need for my bot to run its checks.

I'm a python noob, I call Steem like this because I'm upvoting with more than one account, or maybe more... steem = Steem(wif=[posting_key[0],posting_key[1]]), how would I use the other steemd nodes?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Python is new to me too, but I think you just need to add a "node=" argument to your Steem() call. i.e.
steem = Steem(node=[public websocket URL], wif=[posting_key[0],posting_key[1]]), ...). I switched to the one from @gtg in the list above when the one from steemit broke.

I suspect a secret handshake was made to switch off permanently or temporarily, it is a free service at the end of the day so i'm thankful for it

Nesting limit. Replying to:
I agree. Seems consistent with "the whale experiment."
FYI, if the others go away too, you can get most of the block chain information by setting up your own low memory node in a linux vm with 4g of RAM (and a good bit of disk space). The only thing I've noticed (so far) that's missing from mine are the secondary tags.

Can't say I want to run a node or mine atm, if my bot is disabled it's no biggy

It's probably the default nodes I'm connecting to, also my code is pretty sloppy as I'm new to Python. Getting "Lost connection to node during rpcexec(): wss://seed.bitcoiner.me (2/-1) Retrying in 2 seconds" when I put delays in upvotes.

That might be the issue then; I run and connect to my own private full node.
