Steem Watchdog - Automating claiming process of author/curation rewardssteemCreated with Sketch.

in #utopian-io • 7 years ago (edited)

I hate doing repetitive tasks. I have lots of scripts that I use daily to automate things in my life. Like tracking a cargo package or getting notificated if your visa application status changes and stuff like that.

In Steem, you have that "claiming" process of your author and curation rewards. And it really bothers me out that I should click a button everytime it happens.

Introducing Steem Watchdog

What I have wanted to do was pretty easy. I don't want to click that button, a simple ro(bot) should check the rewards and claims it.

Steem-Python's Commit class has a useful method claim_reward_balance(). With that help, I had managed to make a simple CLI app to get that process automated.

Steem-watchdog's workflow

  • Check for rewards
  • If any rewards vested, claim them.
  • Sleep
  • Check for rewards
  • ...
Installation

It's Python 3.6+ only.

(sudo) pip install steem-watchdog

You're all set. Use it like this:

steem_watchdog account_name PRIVATE_KEY

If you want to specify a STEEM node to use:

steem_watchdog account_name PRIVATE_KEY --node=https://rpc.buildteam.io

Note: I personally suggest using @buildteam's node since it's very stable and fast. Thanks @buildteam and @reggaemuffin for their services.

And of course steem watchdog is open source. You can see it at @github/emre/steem-watchdog

    Awesome stuff :)

    Just as a note here, minnowbooster is currently testing the same auto claim functionality but without you having to run a server for it to work :)

    Would love for your tool to have a few features like setting when to claim and what. Maybe claim rewards once a day and produce a report. Or every hour and plot a graph. That could be fun. Keep on developing, tip! 10

    I was planning to do it a simple webapp since its hard for end users to execute/maintain this cli app.

    Glad to hear minnowbooster testing this functionality :) it will be more helpful since its audience is wide.

    Thank you for the tip! :)

    Yeah we currently have it as a setting on our webpage and it will claim every 10 minutes all it can. Useful for the bot itself and for people who do not care. And for real accountability, generating reports would be epic.
