Testing Out The New Auto Curation For The SteemThat Community.
I have not found a great way to test things to see if they are going to work other than testing live.
When I run live tests to see if bots will do what I have coded them to do it is kind of neat to see all of the hard work pay off. Often it takes multiple tests to fire it all up and make it work. This test is to see if the code that I have added to the Curation Specialists Will Also Fire A Comment So That We Can Spread The Word About SteemThat.com. Much Like Minnow Support Does When You Post For Uvpote Help On Discord. They Show Up And Upvote Your Post And Leave A Nifty Message.
I think our community can and should do this and maybe should have been doing this since day one but we were testing alot of things and still developing a ton of new ideas and concepts but most things are working great now and membership is up and It is time to really ramp it up. Comments will help spread the word super fast that People should join https://SteemThat.com to see what the social portal and community is all about!
Minnows Are Helping Build A Whale Pool And You Should Too.
Adding Comments Wasn't Easy! None Of This Is My Favorite Part.
Much Respect To The Guys Who Started From Scratch. The Good News Is That We Got It Done. I'm using the blockchain time to get an accurate monitor of how long it takes to code this.
If you don't mind me asking, what language do you code in?
Everything and that is why I'm terrible. I should just stick with one language and get good at it. The curation specialists are Ruby. Alot of the tools on site are JS, The Website is HTML, CSS, PHP, and JS. All Ethereum Stuff is Solidity. I'm going to start looking at EOS and see how they are planning on allowing apps to build on top of it. If they have docs and it is in a normal language that everyone can use then I would suggest everyone Learn that language who is interested in blockchain development as EOS does appear to be the latest and greatest blockchain development since Steem.
@outwalking do you want to give it a go I can add you in to the coding environment and you can tinker with the code?
I am currently taking a python course. I have taken 2 prior to this and I like it better than C++ - so far. I also signed up for a C++ course but it hasn't started yet.
Yes I would like to be added to the coding environment, thank you.
I went on GitHub because Binkley posted a comment saying SteemThat code was open source and I want to see the code so I could figure out how it worked. I finished a course on SQL because I am think about trying to code a bot for voting. I have been using autosteem but I would like to get the bot to place a comment in the person it is voting for saying that I upvoted the post. My thinking is it may cause the person to look at my posts and generate some upvotes. I figure that when you just upvote without commenting the poster doesn't normally check who upvoted them, by putting a comment in, they would most likely know. Through autosteem (over the last few weeks) I have been upvoting about 1,000 people a day and I don't think I received any upvotes in return. I do realize that the votes don't actually cost me anything but a return upvote would be nice.
Got the voting done but still did not comment...On To A New Post To Try Again.
