[PLAY STEEM] App needs voting bot

in hive-192037 •  4 years ago  (edited)

I guess you did not get that. I meant to say that:

1: Once User has wrote its content and click on the post. User is done.
2: App gets the control of everything. Right? We append footer to the user post, and then post it to the blockchain.
3: Now get the post URL of the user's post, and invoke our voting endpoint to vote the user.

Lets see code example:

def post(content):
    add_footer(content)
    url = post_on_steem(content, username)
    bot.upvote(url)

this is that simple.

Ahm... You talk about cheating. and here you left the bot voting with cheat and code. I think that's not a productive way to achieve the goal. It must be capsulated logic to get the goal to be done.
And I know you can do it.

Well, that's one part, If we talk about this way there is not even need for the API, as PlaySteem is already using Steem API, it can be used to vote directly, but the problem is that anybody can abuse it, by posting lots of posts, to get upvotes. so It is better to write an API so that we can have control over things.

Can you please give me example why it is not productive way?

I was targetting the logic to add the footer, Otherwise, things are going well. It's not a good solution to add a footer for the bot vote. Yes, It's good for the app promotion and we can take it as a suggestion.

The last thing you said that

by posting lots of posts, to get upvotes.

I strongly agreed with it. And this is happening in the last couple of days. I notice that some users are putting the footer like

Posted using PlaySteem etainclub

but the fact is they are not used PlaySteem to create that post and still getting support under the umbrella of PlaySteem.

yes, it would be lots of work and this way our system will stay busy, so it better to write an API that will help you voting people justly as well prevent cheaters.
