[this post will not be distributed] UPDATE on mechanics

ubasti (55)in #giveaway • 6 years ago (edited)

@ubasti is now 100% auto-generated

@sakhmet is now 100% auto-generated

fastest exec time @ubasti atm 36secs / 28/10votes/eligible

fastest exec time @sakhmet atm 13secs/16/16votes/eligible

the bottleneck is network speed ofcourse, it sometimes takes over a minute to get a random number from anu

other than that its made to make as little calls as possible and gets stats and vars from already updated histories kept local

how do you like my snazzy suit ? do i l00k wall-street or not ? cat just caught two rats today its like someone set them out omg

on the mechanics:

@ubasti

get votes from post , filter out promobots
check eligible voters (active feed = root_post no older than 6 days (keeps in mind the 12hour before cashout_time + 4x2.5 hours to cast them on the autovoter running on my babyserver)
pick one by one , get random number, most recent post first
check if resteemed if not check if voted on if not check (again) if not older than 6days
without too many technicals (its a sequential mess of code lol with more marked out than running but it goes)

as it goes , so the most recent post from a winner will get the vote, processing speed and automation, i dont want to spend more time on it than i have to so i can concentrate on something new

@sakhmet

- there was a flaw where it used an unmodified script to find eligible which made it pick only accounts with active posts, which is not the intention, that is fixed now, every vote except promobots can get the payout

its now 100% rendered from script

so in total about a minute tops to get the posts ready ... compared to an hour or more manually sifting , id say thats a win

save you the details, the bottleneck is the numberpicking from anu but the "quantum number generator" makes it 100% fair . Im sorry i didnt notice sooner, but no one said anything either lol.
As it goes, what set out to be vault-accounts turned to something active, now gave me a fair share of linux xp, i think i'm almost level one hahah

basically all three root from the same script (i keep a whole structure of folders) which comes down to a pre-formatted text where all variables and includes are streamed/piped in and/or substituted with relevant content from relevant files and the value from the vars , its a LOT more than it looks like but its easy to adapt to whatever kind of recurring posts like this

i think thats it, if anyone notices discrepancies i would urge you to let me know @rudyardcatling or on discord, my rep is quite dear to me since i dont have money to pretend i'm the man

et voila, stick that up your utopian beggar ass, i'll take a cookie if you have one but i'm not gonna ask for it, you know the drill

thanks to everyone voting for making this useful while i learn a little something

its almost 6am, i did some stuff, i almost feel less bad, let them eat cake with their price wars, all ships are burned, its do or die , eat some watch some sleep some , then get on with it, o-yasumi

MUCHO THANKSO, you still got a few days to be top 40 voter as i give out small @brandonfrye votes until @ubasti is back to original delegation (internal, no one else delegates me anything, its just me and a very few people who take me for what i am beneath the spikes who i am REALLY

REALLY grateful to and hope i can repay the favour someday
