I made a copy of the bot, and removed the voting parts, and told it only to load that block number, and executed it. the console said upvote, which means the bot (not my main which is more random, and +100%, -50%) should have been giving you a 5% upvote not a .01% downvote. However, looking at the chain data the bot is clearly downvoting your stuff repeatedly.
The bot did stall about 18 hours ago, but a very small sampling suggested it was still functioning for other users and unlikely to be corrupted memory in my bot.
If I were to make an educated guess into what happened, it was a problem with the official hive api maybe giving old information. It possible that your recent update to the proposal cause their servers to update your information so that the API works properly now. Alternatively, they might have multiple servers, and one of them might be out of sync with the live data.
If is repeats it, I may have to create a whitelist.
I respectfully suggest that autovoting for any purpose on Hive is contrary to the social function it was fundamentally purposed to serve. Insofar as we automate social interaction we degrade and deprecate society, that is valuable only insofar as it is people interacting, in favor of AI.
I have expressed to the best of my ability the warning that is an existential threat. While automating your discouragement of HW is the most effective way you can conceive to achieve that discouragement, I submit that the ineffable superiority of society is competent to surmount our challenges. Our personal understanding is vastly inferior to that society attains, and our endemic inferiority is rightly and properly accepted only via requisite humility.
Proverbs 14:12 "There is a way that appears to be right to a man, but its end is the way of death."
When we accept our knowledge and reason is lesser than the wisdom of God, we can accept that the principles expressed by the Christ are superior to our understanding. By enabling AI to vote for us we do not elevate AI to humanity, but degrade humanity to the rights and authority properly possessed by chattel. The ends do not justify the means, and the less interposed between our acts and our principles, the better we rest on sound ethical, moral, and physical foundation.
Another way to consider this fundamental principle is to consider the reward the Christ attained in the world for His righteousness, which was being tortured to death, and innumerable decedents similarly disposed in this world for standing firmly on principle by the bad guys, as His victory. While men see that the bad guys win by attaining to temporal power, the universe isn't merely temporal. Indeed, by far the more substantial of it isn't able to be perceived, nor even conceived, by us.
By retaining our sound principles that depend on the superiority of that inconceivable wisdom by which the universe and society are established we attain to victory by our deaths over hubris and our inherent incapacity to understand the actual reality in which we are.
Proverbs 3:5 "“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”
While my personal understanding of these principles isn't strictly Christian faith, my recollection is that you are a Christian, so I have sought to provide support for my thesis in the most meaningful manner for you.
