Introducing Steem Automated - STEEM Curation Made Easy - Reward Your Favourite Authors

in #steemdev6 years ago (edited)

Voting is an essential part of STEEM as it is the driver behind the economic system on which STEEM relies. While the STEEM Blockchain runs 24/7 we humans are different and cannot operate like machines. For this reason I introduce Steemautomated which allows you to set up customisable voting rules to offload some of the work and still reward your favourite authors, while retaining full control. Manual curation is still advised. See this more like a STEEM version of Patreon where you can reward your favourite authors for creating new content at specific rules.

How does it work?

Log in at https://steemautomated.eu/ with your STEEM account. After logging in you will be able to go to the voting page. On this page you can manage all of your custom voting rules. But first you will have to authorise steemautomated to perform offline votes for you.

After doing so you will be shown the following table. New rules can be added by pressing the + button. Rules can be edited from within the table. Or deleted by selecting them and pressing the delete button.

Each rule has the following attributes:

  • upvote weight
  • delay in minutes
  • daily limit

What does it cost?

This service is free as it is being contributed to Utopian, the source code is also available at: https://github.com/Juless89/steemautomated Of course upvotes are always appreciated and will be put for good use.

What is next?

As shown in the menu above there is also trailing and a log. These features are yet to be implemented and should be working soon. After that more advanced features like dynamic voting based on current voting power levels will be added as well.

It's a great project

yes you are right..

I prefer manual curation, it is more secure and fun.

Exactly, security is so important. The whole point with Steem is that you're reading and if you're reading, it shouldn't be too hard to upvote if you like it

Hi,

this looks super awesome! Maybe you could add an option to use a dynamic vote power. Either a random value between a min and max vote or by calculating the average vote from the votes which are already there after the delay. Could be useful. Can I set a minimum required Voting Power? For example: I do not want to vote when my voting power is lower than 80%.

Kind regards,

Thanks! This feature is on the roadmap. First trailing and the log will be added.

Hi

That sound awesome!

Kind regards,

The Secret Service

The feature I seek for quite some time…

When a curator - some other guy who I respect - comment a post with a text toke like !voteforthis I wanna vote for that post.

Would be nice if someone implements it.

Cheers!

That is an interesting idea, so it is kinda like trailing. However only when the user uses the 'keyword'

Can you comment on the security implications of authorizing @steemautomated to use one's posting role? What's the worst that could happen and are there steps in place to limit attacks?

Of course, good question.

The worst thing that can happen is that somebody gains access to all the stored access token that are generated by Steemconnect. In that case the attacker would be able to vote for all the authorised accounts.

When that happens all tokens can be revoked via: https://v2.steemconnect.com/dashboard both the users themselves and I can do that.

The database has been properly secured, and I am building something that will alert me via a text when there is suspicious behaviour.

How is that different from Steemauto and other services that do the same? Seems like a waste of someone's time. Is photography not lucrative enough?

Good and valid question. I know of the following two services which are quite similar.

Steemauto:

Steemauto only offers trailing, no specific upvote rules for authors, with regards to voting. They do offer interesting other features.

Steemvoter

The main focus is personalised voting rules here, which is a similarity. However, they do not offer Steemconnect intergration, so the service requires you to give up your posting key. This is not good and outdated. Also the rules only allow for upvote weight and time delay. No daily limit for each author

How is that different from Steemauto and other services that do the same? Seems like a waste of someone's time.

I believe this is quite narrow minded, competition is healthy. And will propel these services forward.

Seems like a waste of someone's time. Is photography not lucrative enough?

Photography has never been my main source of income. It is a hobby and will actually be getting into videography next week for cliff diving in Greece. Besides that, the service is free...

Also,

waste of someone's time

Learning new things if never a waste of time, even if this means learning something that is already out there. You start small and expand from there. Live products are great use cases to see how something really works.

Dear sir, I have translated this article into Chinese. Thank you!

So this is like the free version of Steemdunk?
Cool, I'll definitely check it out.

Ah cool, I did not now of Steemdunk. It does look like it. Voting and trailing are free.

It'll be the first thinh on my to-do list tomorrow :0)

seems interesting . I will look into it more tomorrow. it seems a lot liek steem auto though.

Can I define the rules by filtering the tag?

Good question, here is the initial post: https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@steempytutorials/fully-automated-steem-voter

Following a hashtag
Upvote users using a specific hashtag, in addition with a whitelist/blacklist and other custom settings like limiting the amount of votes per day.

Is indeed part of the plan. For now expect to see trailing and the log first.
