Inside the ZIP-File you will find two files. The crazy.py and the crazy.txt and for full transparency this is how they look like. If you need any help setting them up or fiddle with the settings, please come to SteemSpeak and we will help you as best we can.

crazy.py

from piston.steem import Steem
from piston.steem import BroadcastingError
import threading
import time
import random
import csv
 
# my favorite blogs on steemit
top_writers = []

# add my favorites
my_favorites = []
 
with open('crazy.txt', mode='r') as infile:
    reader = csv.reader(infile)
    for rows in reader:
        v = rows[0]
        top_writers.append(v)
 
my_subscriptions = top_writers + my_favorites
account = ["your-account-name"]
posting_key = ["your-posting-key"]
active_key = []
vote_delay = random.randrange(1201,1801)
 
upvote_history = []
 
def feed():
    print("Waiting for new posts by %s\n" % my_subscriptions)
    steem = Steem(wif=posting_key[0])
    for comment in steem.stream_comments():
 
        if comment.author in my_subscriptions:
            # Comments don't have titles. This is how we can know if we have a post or a comment.
            if len(comment.title) > 0:
 
                # check if we already upvoted this. Sometimes the feed will give duplicates.
                if comment.identifier in upvote_history:
                    continue
 
                print("New post by @%s %s" % (comment.author, url_builder(comment)))
                workerThread = threading.Thread(name=comment.identifier, target=worker, args=(comment,))
                workerThread.start()
 
# send $0.1 in SBD
def send_a_tip(author):
    steem = Steem(wif=active_key)
    steem.transfer(author, 0.001, "SBD", memo="I love your blog. Here is a small gift for you.", account=account)
 
 
def url_builder(comment):
    return "https://steemit.com/%s/%s" % (comment.category, comment.identifier)
 
def worker(worker_comment):
     time.sleep(vote_delay)
     try:
       for (k,v) in enumerate(account):
         worker_steem = Steem(wif=posting_key[k])
         upvote_comment = worker_steem.get_content(worker_comment.identifier)
         upvote_comment.vote(10, v)
         print("====> Upvoted")
         upvote_history.append(upvote_comment.identifier)
     except BroadcastingError as e:
       print("Upvoting failed...")
       print("We have probably reached the upvote rate limit.")
       print(str(e))
 
       if upvote_comment.author in my_favorites:
         send_a_tip(upvote_comment.author)
         print("====> Sent $0.01 SBD to @%s" % upvote_comment.author)
 
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
    while True:
        try:
            feed()
        except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
            print("Quitting...")
            break
        except Exception as e:
            traceback.print_exc()
            print("### Exception Occurred: Restarting...")

So, the above python-script is the instructions for your bot, but you need to put in your own account-name (without the @) and the private posting-key for that account. If you have multiple accounts, you can comma-separate them on the same line, and the same with your private posting-keys if you run a curation-guild or something like that.

crazy.txt

fyrstikken
furion
contentjunkie
xeroc
steempowertwins
... and 120,000+ accounts, basically every account on STEEMIT prior to this post :D

This is where you store the people you want to upvote, you can add as many as you want. The bot was originally created by @furion, upgraded and maintained by @contentjunkie, tested hard and brutally by @fyrstikken and @xeroc of course is the brilliant mind behind Piston.

This is how you run The Anonymous Winfrey Bot

You can either doubleclick or open your Anonymous Winfrey Bot with Python3, or you can use command-lines. I will show you two command-lines you can use to make the bot run:

• The First Method

  
  

  Open a Terminal-Window and use the following command from the directory your bot-files are placed:

python3 crazy.py
This command will run your bot, but if it crashes and refuse to restart in the middle of the night, that is a problem so a little hack around that problem by @inertia is to use this command instead from the terminal-window:

• The Second Method

  
  

  Open a Terminal-Window and use the following command from the directory your bot-files are placed:

while :; do python3 crazy.py; sleep 5; done
This command will make your bot loop, so if it crashes - it will wait 5 seconds and start it up again.
