Trusting the Hive Mind: Building My Own Voting Bot for Robinhoodwhale

<center> ![](https://s22.postimg.org/3nc2dom01/steemwhale.jpg) </center>

Have you seen @robinhoodwhale's <a href="https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@robinhoodwhale/hi-i-am-robinhood-whale-and-here-is-my-story-from-the-blockchain-folklore">teaser intro post</a>?

The basic idea, as I understand it, is to build out a new whale whose voting tastes and curation habits are determined by a group of people, a hive mind, instead of a single individual. I find this idea fascinating and wanted to support it while also challenging myself to write my own bot in PHP. The bot monitors @robinhoodwhale's voting activity and, if there's a new vote, goes ahead and votes on that same post using piston. The idea being, as more people vote up what @robinhoodwhale votes on, the more curation rewards @robinhoodwhale will make and the more visibility those posts will get (making @robinhoodwhale even more valuable to the community).

I worked on the CopyCatVoter bot yesterday and had it running all night. Here's the output from its first day of life:

I just changed the configuration settings this morning so now it will only vote up root posts and not vote on the comments @robinhoodwhale votes on. I'm doing this to conserve some voting power for people in my feed, but will probably change that up based on how active I plan to be on Steemit for a given time period.

All the code for this is on Github here: <a href="https://github.com/lukestokes/php-steem-tools">https://github.com/lukestokes/php-steem-tools</a>. The CopyCatVoter code is <a href="https://github.com/lukestokes/php-steem-tools/blob/master/src/SteemTools/Bots/CopyCatVoter.php">here</a> and the <a href="https://github.com/lukestokes/php-steem-tools/blob/master/tests/Bots/CopyCatVoterTest.php">code to run it</a> is currently in a test folder. This is basically my embarrassing prototype sandbox play code, but I'm putting it out there publicly in case anyone else wants to play with it also. You'll need to be able to run php and have piston configured with your posting key and have no password on your piston wallet (I hear from @xeroc some changes will be coming in the future to allow for ENV variable for this).

So why did I do this instead of just using my account at <a href="https://streemian.com/">https://streemian.com/</a> and its curation trail feature? Well, mainly because I wanted to challenge myself. I really like the idea of having my own bot I can tweak and adjust, almost like a pet. I'm already thinking of improvements to make, such as ensuring it will unvote a post if @robinhoodwhale removes a vote.

Also, I like to have the output available for me to review. I'm not one to automate social media activities, so it took a while for me to warm up to the idea of trusting others to curate good content. I had to trust the hive mind to promote content which will benefit Steemit as a platform. With it running locally, I can easily review the posts and still use that 24 hour window to remove my vote if it's something I don't personally think is beneficial to the network or if it is contrary to my subjective opinion of what I "like."

If you want to know more about @robinhoodwhale, give them a follow. You can review the list of <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11UkN21t27uG9Fo_vRjX8lKasXOU0xIEL4AviCvlMMNw/edit#gid=0">posts they've already voted for in this spreadsheet</a> which is updated in real time, as far as I understand. Shout out to <a href="https://steemit.com/@kyriacos">@kyriacos</a> for the awesome artwork and the <a href="https://steemit.chat/channel/robinhood">robinhood</a> / <a href="https://steemit.chat/channel/robinhood-links">robinhood-links</a> chat channels.

I hope you're having a great weekend!

Thanks @lukestokes for sharing the code and taking all the time to create your robinhoodwhale follow bot. It was interesting to see the underlying code behind a bot :)

It's probably not the best example of bot code as it's just my own playground, but I'm glad you enjoyed looking at it. :)

It would depend what specifically the bot you want to create will end up doing. Creating a bot to go through a web page and extract all images on it is quite different from say a bot that will buy and sell on a market exchange. In the case of creating an upvote bot for Steemit, I would suggest learning a computer language like Python first, then using a Steemit API for Python, like @xeroc's Piston. There are other libraries for other languages, but Python seems to be the go-to language. Learning computer programming is not something that can be done for the faint of heart. I would suggest going the route of a prepackaged solution like Steemian.com if you're not really into it.

There isn't a place to go, other than Google, as far as I know. I've been building web stuff since 1996, and it took me over a month of frustration trying to figure out the Steem API enough to start querying it and figuring things out. Sorry I don't have a more cheery answer for you.

Very cool idea. I wish I knew a bit more about php so I could fiddle around and make a bot. I don't mind bots, but mostly only if the content is reviewed by the owner and not solely upvoting content that will curate the most rewards, but that will make steemit more valuable long term.

I really enjoyed reading all of the posts today which my bot upvoted while I slept last night. I would have voted for them if I had found them myself. So far, 1 day into it, I'm happy about @robinhoodwhale promoting content I like. **Trust the hive mind.** :)

Maybe something could be created that shows a feed of potential content you may like that doesn't need you to vote on it (so as not to use up your voting power when you may be too busy to check it some nights). I think there was talk of a "suggested feed," but it may have been removed or something

**Update**: unfortunately I broke things with a code push yesterday, but it's working now and has unvote support. Additionally (and I think this is really cool), it exports the posts it votes on to a file and has a `currationReport()` function that will show you how much the bot is earning in terms of curation rewards (Steem Power):

```
➜  Bots git:(master) ✗ php CopyCatVoterTestCurationReport.php
0.039,kazumba/modern-day-edgar-cayce-nostradamus
0.233,webosfritos/thoughts-on-steemit-power-distribution-and-steempower-an-anthropology-based-approach

```

So you can support a great initiative and get some love for your wallet as well. Double win!

I'm not sure I get this ... so, we're supposed to run our own bots and follow robin? is that it?

Hey @luminousvisions, thanks for the comment. You're not "supposed" to do anything you don't feel like doing. :) This isn't really a bot for public consumption, as I tried to clarify in my post, it's just my own sandbox code I've been playing around with. If you do want to follow vote what RHW votes on, you can use  https://streemian.com/ to do that.

👍 luminousvisions

Thanks, but I'm concerned me being featured might upset some people because I've already gathered a bit of a following on my own and am no longer a minnow. Clearly, you're free to promote whoever you want and promoting a post which promotes your initiative makes obvious sense... but yeah. Anyway. Thanks. :)

I agree, even tho with some googling and some trial/error I could set up that bot to auto vote rhw, I'd appreciate a  "noob" guide to set it up. :))

### Not a whale:
[![](http://content.screencast.com/users/lukestokes/folders/Jing/media/a974b1b3-e274-4ae6-999b-4b74b63d7491/00002423.png)](http://content.screencast.com/users/lukestokes/folders/Jing/media/a974b1b3-e274-4ae6-999b-4b74b63d7491/00002423.png)

So is "steemjustice" an account which is going to go around telling others they are doing it wrong? Did you bother to bring up this concern with them directly first in the chat room instead of posting about it in an open letter?

There are enough things in this world to complain about. I prefer we spend our energy creating new, valuable things for others to enjoy. Have a nice day.

@lukestokes the point is @dollarvigilante is HER client and the @anahilarski is clearly not a "small fish" in need of help from the @robinhoodwhale as she already is proxy with the most powerfull accounts of steemit.

The open question to the @robinhoodwhale remains unanswered: why are they supporting an account that is clearly NOT a minnow and is already supported by whales, instead of upvoting real unnoticed accounts.

@robinhoodwhale is  clearly not helping the minnows with this attitude of empowering the ones which already have power...
