Not Sure if this Qualifies as a New Feature

---

It's really like a subproject/example that I'm adding to an existing project steem-bot-examples. I hope this is useful to you all out there. For all of us, Steem is like a business and we are all entrepreneurs...in a way. We are constantly tracking/reporting on awards, follows, curation, etc... Why? Because for our business to grow, we need to increase follows (viewership/readership), upvotes (awards), resteems (growth), and even track our engagements.

Tracking is good, but not by itself. You can't miss engagements, but you can't be available for all your engagements. This bot is a simple example that allows one to engage without having to always be present.

About

The auto-reply-steem-bot functions by

1. Check for replies
2. Check if the replier has voted on the post
3. If the replier voted on the post, upvote the reply and respond back with thank you.

The point is to engage users that are trying to engage you. They took the time to upvote your post and leave a thoughtful reply. You should upvote them back and reply with gratitude until you can fully read/respond. Without this kind of engagement, you can easily lose followers/readers.

Features

• Encapsulated container execution resources and execution are self-contained in a single docker image for execution with one command.
• Automatic Engagement engages users without user interaction. Upvotes and replies are handled automatically when you are not available.
• Templated Replies replies are handled through templating. This way variables and logic can be used to manipulate automated responses.
• Blacklist avoid engagements with users that are contrary to your business.

Requirements

This project runs on Docker, so all requirements are encapsulated within the docker image.

Usage

docker run --rm -e STEEM_NAME=$STEEM_NAME -e STEEM_WIF=$STEEM_WIF r351574nc3/auto-reply-steem-bot:latest

Roadmap

Some upcoming features I hope to add in order to make the bot more useful to others

• Templated responses users may want more control over responses
• NLP responses (better/more meaningful responses to engagements)
• Configurable/smart voting weight users may want the bot to use the best voting weight or just a standard/configurable one instead of a default.
• Voting threshold users may want to set a voting threshold so the bot voting does not interrupt the user's regular voting
