The fluctuations in STEEM price and our temporarily reduced maximal rewards in the past week have not stopped our community of contributors from continuing their important and valuable work. This week, we present to you a bug in Beem (a python steem library), a tutorial on Discord bot creation, a new open source Steem wallet app and more.

These contributions, selected by our staff of community managers, are examples of types of content and post format we strive to see on Utopian.io.

Bots In Python #2 | Creating Ticker And Notes Commands | DiscordSteem | Part #3 by @rodus [tutorials]

^Discord

A great second part of @rodus’ tutorial series about creating discord bots. This is a detailed, step by step, well written tutorial, through which we learn how to create commands to fetch real time pricing of cryptocurrencies vs. FIAT currencies, relying on the coinmarketcap v1 library. We also learn how to allow storing notes via the bot. Quite helpful for anyone who aims to explore building their own bots for a discord server.

Seed - Development - DApp Launcher, Module Loading, High Level API & Seed DApp by @carsonroscoe [development]

If you see a contribution by @carsonroscie, you know it’s going to be good. This is the case, once again! Seed is a cooperative proof-of-work DAG/blockchain, and in this contribution he has added unstyled UIs for the launcher, the Seed module and the Relay module. It also includes dynamically loading modules, a High Level API (HLAPI) implementation for Seed DApps, and functional implementations of the Seed & Relay modules with their UIs”.

#qcensus2018 Campaign - Graphics Breakdown by @nothingismagick [graphics]

Quasar is a framework for building awesome single page responsive apps. These graphics were done to promote the #qcensus2018 campaign on social networks. The author was tasked to make these graphics look aged and sci-fi, so he used a picture of a robot and old paper texture. These images were perfectly put together. It is the best contribution for this week because of the value it brings to this project and the campaign.

What is the reward pool share of vote sellers, bid bots and autovotes? by @crokkon [analysis]

Another excellent piece of analysis work by @crokkon. There have been numerous attempts at trying to calculate the rewards pool share held by bid-bots and vote-sellers, but this analysis, and the approach taken in using the transaction signature and class, is the most accurate so far.
