( a very legitimate and totally not stolen from google introduction image )
Spent majority of the night buggering around building a NodeJS airdrop bot by the name of @DropBot, The purpose of this application is to help facilitate automated giveaways of any valid Hive-Engine.com token while also offering support for Airdropping HIVE and HBD as well.
In the near future I'll be open sourcing the code to allow people to use the basic version for free simply by cloning the git repository and inputting the necessary data into the config to make sure all functionality of this application work. Subsequent versions of this app will likely be developed later on into some form of affordable "Airdrops as a Service" utility which will allow any user on HIVE to Airdrop HIVE, HBD or any Hive-Engine.com token they wish onto people visiting their blog posts and commenting claim in order to automatically have the transfers of Airdropped tokens handled.
The purpose of this post is to try a bit of open alpha testing on this new codebase with the HIVE community as well as distribute some of the PONZI fun token, which can be used to play the decentralized Ponzi game hosted by the @play.ponzi account. If you'd like more information on the @play.ponzi game you can check out a post below by clicking the image here:
Giving Away 1000 PONZI Tokens to Commenters
Upon posting this blog post I'll use the @dropbot account to set up an experimental Airdrop of some of the PONZI tokens. 1000 PONZI will be given away with 25 PONZI being awarded to any user replying in the comments section below with only the word claim in the reply. This will trigger the @dropbot application to queue you up to (hopefully) automatically receive some free money.
You may only claim once per a HIVE account however at this time if you want to claim with a few accounts certainly won't complain about that assuming you're being respectful to others getting some airdropped PONZI and not just claim spamming to drain the giveaway. A total of 40 accounts will get 25 PONZI by posting claim in the comments below. The tokens will be given away until they run out at which point you're welcome to go grab some on Hive-Engine.com for cheap.
PONZI can always be bought on Hive-Engine.com for 0.01 HIVE per a piece and will always have a buy wall set up at 0.009 HIVE per a piece in order to accommodate people taking their earnings from playing the @play.ponzi token contract. 90% of the HIVE acquired through selling PONZI on the market is pumped into the buy wall to keep the game moving forward and profitable.

Note that this version is basically untested.. Use at your own risk!
Interested in Automated Airdrops on HIVE?
While this version of this application is quite limited in scope only being able to hold a single airdrop of any certain token type on the same post at the same time in the future this will be improved upon. While the script in it's most basic functionality form will always be open source and free for anyone to use, this may not pertain to future updates if this type of airdrop service ends up being in demand leading to a fast tracked development of this proof of concept into an easily accessible web app.
While most users harbouring low to intermediate levels of IT skills should be easily able to setup and figure out how to run the app.. for those wishing to harness the capability of nearly entirely automated post based airdrops on HIVE without possessing the technical knowhow I'd be willing to either help you set it up or host an instance of the bot for you for a duration of your choice for a small fee that can be paid in HIVE, HBD, BTC and all other major crypto currencies.
If you require help getting your dropbot going: Setup help is a $20 one time fee for the session and custom @dropbot hosting is $25 a month with a minimum of 2 months paid upfront. Would honestly rather teach you how to set it up than host your bot though to be honest, hence the pricing.

We needed an open sourced airdrop bot.. I figured one that used a blog post to serve as a "GUI" and then got the user to do a little bit of interaction with the post might come in handy.
Cheers.

Wo0t wo0t maybe my first ever air drop!
@rishi556 are you trying to double claim this drop? undefined!
@dropbot drop 1000:25 ponzi
The Airdrop should be active on this post now.
As with everything, this is experimental software testing and thus may unfurl into chaos. Zero liability of losses or gains incurred fall on the developer of this application, use at your own risk but most of all have fun. :)
woops.. Gotta engage it again as rishi found a bug!

Try again. I accidently restarted it without initiating the airdrop active again. Should be good to go now.

Hmmm. What the hell.. You called 2 minutes before I did and got no payout.. But I did on the other account. <_<

I don't think this is working right now but I love the idea. Just last night I made a post in which I wrote that when the MemeHive tribe is launched I might try a giveaway of MEME for users eho reply to a post. I was imagining I would have to do that manually but your open sourcing this so I can clone the git repository would be fantastic!
The instructions sort of got half assed and are missing some information but the whole v0.0.1 source code for @dropbot is up on github here: https://github.com/KLYE-Dev/dropbot.
The code is a bit messy at the moment as only built this overnight from scratch. If you do end up using the bot please for the love of god do not allow it access to an account with a bunch of liquid tokens.. So far a total of like less than half a day of coding and testing has gone into it so it certainly falls within the experimental software category. If you need a hand getting it up and running let me know.

Was I supposed to stake the other stuff I got?
You can do whatever you wish captain.
I just checked my Hive Engine wallet again and saw the 25 PONZi. Thank you!
Pro Tip: Reply using @ecency so you get PONZI and ecency points.😀
Glad to hear it ironed out the kinks.. Part of me thinks it might be because I was using nodemon and it restarted the application leading to a wipe of it's current state (no persistence built in yet). Thanks for the heads up on @ecency!

This is really cool! Thank you for making the current version open source for the community.
You are welcome. This is still a pretty rough version but the proof of concept works and could certainly be built out to provide a robust private bot or a bot as a service in the future. Enjoy tinkering with it. :)
