Actifit BOT Development Updates: Exchange Functionality, Historical Data, Endpoints & More

Repository

https://github.com/actifit/actifit-bot

Introduction

Actifit bot hosts the integral core of the Actifit project and its processes.
For this round, we implemented several new features, modifications and fixes to enhance Actifit, particularly in relation to the AFIT token exchange functionality (to STEEM upvotes), additional historical data, including the creation of a multitude of new API endpoints, as well as several fixes and improvements.
Below you will find more details about this update.

Technology Stack

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

Work Done

Commit Link

• Implement additional reward calculation components when fetching historical data (author_reward + transfer). This helps us out fetching more accurate transaction details about Actifit accounts. For this purpose we added author_reward and transfer transactions to properly fetch this data. We particularly skipped inter account transactions but also transfers to bittrex.

• Enable larger historical data up to 1 year. We enable a full fetch of historical data so as we can compile a bigger picture when needed, especially when pitching to investors.

• Implement new functionality to confirm payments received for exchange functionality. This is a core functionality to help with the new exchange AFIT tokens to STEEM upvotes, which allows ensuring that the user sent proper funds, and switching his status to verified.

• Fix issue with potential loophole for prior payments on signup. We made a change to our signup confirmation module, whereby each transaction needs to be fairly recent so as we properly approve the new account creation. This is unlike above item whereby user only needs to pay once to the designated account, @actifit.exchange.

Commit Link

• Implement a fix to an issue with fetching delegation transactions, whereby some transactions were being erroneously skipped. The approach we did is to avoid relying on the most recent transaction ID, and instead fetch recent transactions for as far as 5 days back.

Commit Link

• Implement new endpoints that allow confirming payment receipt, checking if user has pending exchanges in place, list of pending exchanges, list of processed token exchanges, unverified account list, full list of funds password accounts. Those are core endpoints which help out perform the needed transactions for exchanges, but also fetching relevant data about current status.

• Implement new endpoint for rewarding users for posting comments via actifit.io

• Implement new endpoint for grabbing total posts submitted for Actifit on a single given date, for better statistical data figures

Commit Link

• Implement core functionality enabling the voting/rewarding script to upvote based on pending list of exchange transactions. This involves the actual execution of the exchange upvote, whereby we loop through all the pending list of exchange transactions, fetch a set maximum of transactions per voting round (to ensure we don't overconsume our bot), grab the current voting value, calculate the exchange rate and apply a proper voting to reward the user accordingly. We also involved helping accounts to reward, so as we drain less our main bot, but also on a limited number of transactions.

Roadmap

Further continuous improvements are planned for Actifit core functionality, particularly as the project grows, starting with the development of new endpoints to improve the website, app, and stats/info gathering processes.
