We are glad to report that the pilot post has paid out! We have awarded @troglodactyl 20.371 SBD valued at approximately $126.91 USD for the downvote services rendered to the Steem community . Kudos for that!

Also, I wanted to take a moment and thank all that have helped with upvotes and resteems. You, indeed, are the backbone of this effort and what you do is far reaching!

Python Scripting Status: Degraded.

After the recent Steem API endpoint changes, it seems that the Steem Piston library has ceased to function. It uses websockets to interface rather than http/jsonrpc which is the likely cause. Here is one of the errors I receive.

In the library, there is a file named "steemnoderpc.py". It's the Python Script used for websocket communication. I will be making a reasonable attempt to replace this with a http/jsonrpc client script but, worse come to worse, I'll just modify the rewards script which is only a minor setback. In case you were wondering, that is why we do not have data today.

class SteemNodeRPC(GrapheneWebsocketRPC):
    """ This class allows to call API methods synchronously, without
        callbacks. It logs in and registers to the APIs:

        * database
        * history

        :param str urls: Either a single Websocket URL, or a list of URLs

By design, the Flag Rewards Program Python script has a dependency on Piston's get_post function but will work on finding the alternative with working Steem-Python libraries.
