Repository

Introduction

This development update represents some new developed features, adjustments and fixes to the actifit voting and scoring bot. Initial work on this bot was started via a TR response, and I continued some additional work to improve and speed up the development, while other work is being done in parallel on the bot itself under other branches.

Technology Stack

The bot is scripted using Node.js, and connects to a MongoDB instance for storing values.

Work Done:

New endpoints for various purposes: Commit Link

• Creating new endpoint for returning total number of rewarded users, along total number of tokens distributed
• Creating new endpoint for returning total number of rewards sent out
• Creating new endpoint for supported charities
• Fixing display of user token count to a max of 3 decimal digits
• Removing limit of 250 transactions per user display, and constraining this only to per single user

Voting Process Adjustments: Commit Link

• adding support for fetching more than 100 posts and upvoting them
• fix for incorrect sort order for posts
• adding to logs an automated display of properly markdown formatted output of voted posts along with their ranking (#1, #2,...) for daily report purposes
• adding support for banned users list
• preventing upvote of posts which are more than 1.5 days old

Charity support and Additional Fixes: Commit Link

• adding support for rewarding charity activity via assigning actifit token rewarded account as the included charity
• appending banned users check on utils level
• couple of minor fixes

New Config Items: Commit Link

• adding new VP min limit to kick start voting
• adding new max limit percent upvote per post
• increasing retries min to 20 and adjusting relevant log

Roadmap

Further continuous improvements will be done on top of the bot, particularly as we adjust the voting approach, as well as token distribution to cope with increased delegation, increased contributions and modified upvoting patterns.
