(If you are not running a confirmer bot, feel free to ignore this message! Keep using Pocket as you always have!)
Today Pocket gave me a chance to prove that I'm still around and still paying attention to the protocol. About a day ago, it appears that all of the confirmation bots except for @kata got stuck at a particular block. There is a method in the Steem Python library called get_replies() that inexplicably stopped working. The code needs this method to look for confirmation messages to pocketsend commands, and without it, all bots just hung. Except @kata. My suspicion is that the method doesn't fail if a pocketsend has no replies, and @kata just happened to be the first one past the gate when the bug turned up.
In any case, once I found the problem I fixed it quite easily by simply using a lower-level method to query the necessary replies. I've merged the changes into all branches, so whichever you are using should be good to go. Cheers!
As always, if you need a Bitshares account so you can trade POCKET IOU tokens issued by @virtualgrowth, you can sign up for Bitshares using this link.
Surprising. Than bot did stuck I've updated python-steem to the new url
https://api.steemit.com. It worked. I was thinking that RPC server uri change was causing this.Anyway, I'll update the code. Thank you for staying around!
I run my own steemd node, and my bot got stuck too. So I don't know. Right, I need to update the urls in the default config file too.
It is nice that
python-steemupdated too. It will fix problem from both ends.By the way, what version number do you have of python-steem?
I've pulled version with latest commit
6467801565be992140a1234ea9a4987aa6fd71ee(did not find the actual version number there)I did the same only earlier today and bot started to process blocks - and I am still running version without this fix. Before this change I've got a lot of errors:
2018-01-10 18:20:48,615 DEBUG root Switched node to steemd.steemit.com due to exception: MaxRetryErrorso I also assumed that this is connected with killing of
steemd.steemit.com.What is worth mentioning, I had to change
steemd.steemit.comtoapi.steemit.comin steem-python code (setting any nodes in configuration file did not fixed anything). Nevertheless I will also try to update to newer version tonight.Right, that makes sense. I wonder why my local steemd was having the problem too. Weird.
In any case, I need to do a comprehensive upgrade to get it compatible with the official steem-python.

I think somebody once sent me some pocket...
how do i know if I have pocket... if I sound confused, that's because I am.

Man, only now I found out about Pocket tokens! This stuff is great! My mind is spinning with the possibilities... thanks for doing this! @biophil

Hey, thanks a lot! Please keep us updated on those upgrades. Also, I am thinking of a couple of projects that will be based on the idea of arbitrary code on steem. It would be cool to chat to you about it...
Would love to! are you on steemit.chat?
Barely... but I can be. What would be the best way talk to you there? Which channel? I'm tiago.paixao there, I think...
I'm really not on there much either. But you should be able to send me a direct message, and then I'll get an email notification and we can go from there.
Will do!
Hello @biophil,
I have not been following up with the pocket update from you.
would love to know if this project is still up and running and if yes, how do i assess my previously earned token ?
pocketsend:1@knowledges, I haven't updated pocket in a long time, but I believe it still works fine. As always, to check on your tokens just pocketsend 1 to yourself just like what I did right there.

Pocket Tokens dead? It's been about 11 months since it launched.
Well, at least there is a bot or two still operating.
There's actually someone developing a JS library for it - so it's not totally dead.
A JS library is a JavaScript library. I'm just leaving this note here for future anthropologists because POCKET token is going be around for the next thousand years and JavaScript probably ain't gonna last that long. Also, I can turn my account into a confirmer bot, if it ever becomes necessary. Hey, congrats on your new job, Dr. Brown! Just wanted to let you know that your new town has a thriving Steemit community. The great @Broncnutz (This dude has tons of Steem Power) can introduce you to the gang and he already mentioned to me that he would like to meet you once you get settled in. He is already a POCKET token hodler himself.
Hi Paul!
I've been traveling, moving, getting set up with UCCS, etc and have been away from Steemit for a while. I did not know that there's a Steemit community here, other than @smith-house/@brownsgreens. Sounds like a meetup is in order!
Sounds good Tokenmaster, let me know when you are ready for a meetup and I will help spread the word.
Hi @biophil! I'm Jose, senior analyst at AmaZix (https://www.amazix.com/ // https://www.linkedin.com/in/ze-macedo-15b1b175/). I was referred to you by @jga, I'm working on a forum project based on the Steem blockchain and have benefitted and learned a lot from your posts on Pocket token. I'd love to talk to you and get your feedback about our current targeted implementation. Do you have an e-mail or Telegram you can be contacted on?
Best,
Jose
Hi @jimmygatz -- I was absent from Steemit for a long time, so I'm sorry I missed your message here. Still interested in some input?
Hello Paul Atreides! I would like to buy some pocket! Would you sell me some or know where a market exists? I appreciate in advance any consideration! I would like 3 million pocket in total, but that is just a round number and would just like to buy 'some'
pocketsend:501@ecoinstant, sorry but I'm looking to buy some more too but here is a few free ones to get you started, I think I read somewhere that there is a market on Bitshares but I have never checked it out.

Thanks for using POCKET! I am running this confirmer code.
Thank you for getting back to me! I am slowly making my way through the list of the users holding the most pocket, no problem, if I figure out how to get more I will let you know!
Dr. Phil, I am reaching out to some of the largest POCKET holders with my intention to purchase some POCKET. If you could sell me some, I would be very interested! I am looking for 3 million total pocket, but am willing to make smaller purchases.
Interesting - what are you looking to pay for 3M?
My initial offer was 1SBD per million, I have not been able to find information on a potential BTS market for pocket and how to get there, I searched open ledger but didn't find anything. So its possible I am way high, but contacting users so far has yielded only small gifts, no one wants to sell! Wonder what the price would be on open market....
@virtualgrowth used to operate a manual gateway service for POCKET on OpenLedger, see this asset: https://cryptofresh.com/a/POCKET

Someone sent you some POCKET tokens. POCKET is an experimental sub-token system which operates on the Steem blockchain. It's like having a custom token without SMT. You can also send some to someone else by just commenting on a post with the following command:
pocketsend:number_of_token@recipient_name,memofor example to send 10 tokens to @pocketjs, make a comment starting with:pocketsend:10@pocketjs,This is a giftI am running Pocket-JS confirmer code.
