I joined STEEM last this week. I saw some posts about Steem Botting and wanted to see what the fuss is about and try botting myself. My objectives:
- See if I can make a Bot on STEEM
- See what Bots can do and cannot do
- Perhaps offer some insights on the debate.
Research
Most STEEM botting articles were written 3 months ago. I also had addition concerns
- safety - not going to give out my API keys
- limited programming knowledge - only know a bit of python
After researching, I settled on installing this bot : https://steemit.com/steemit/@contentjunkie/i-updated-an-upvote-bot-and-i-m-giving-it-away
VPS time
)
I have an account on Amazon web services, so I launched my micro server:
Installing Piston-Cli
The bot required Piston so I installed it using:
pip3 install steem-pistonHowever i encounter installation errors because have all the addons.
Should I countinue and install the botting script? .....

Or you can run locally using docker, and you could also check out this tutorial for using the docker helper project.

Thanks, @shaunmza deserves the credit for the work to make it run locally easily!
Do be warned though, it's still in early beta and currently in the first round of bug fixing since launch not too long ago. You can see where I'm at with it here. Please log bugs if you find them and join us on the #bots channel of steemit.chat if you want! 😆
