How to make your Piston bot skip 'declined payout'-posts
@cryptofunk asked this under my last post and I think some of you might want to use this.
To spot a post with declined payout you can check the max_accepted_payout parameter for the post. With c being the post, this would look like this:
Check:
if str(Amount(c['max_accepted_payout'])) == '0.000 SBD':
For this to work, you need to import the Amount function from the piston-lib library like this:
from piston.amount import Amount
There are probably cleaner ways to check this, but if you (like myself) learned some basic Python just for Piston, this should be an easy method.
Fun fact:
By default the max_accepted_payout is 1000000.000 SBD
Yes, that's 1 million SBD.
Thanks a lot for the help, there may come a time in the future when the million dollar payout will be reached.
I was curious how to check for declined payouts, too.
My own bot follows the behavior of a group of users - I don't really need this function.
Even with a lot of optimism: I doubt the million will ever be reached :D
@felixxx did you just combine cryptofunk and pfunks name? :D
oh - that's an evidence that I read :D
