steemrewarding.com is a feature-rich automatic voting tool. It can be used to create voting rules at https://steemrewarding.com, using several parameters. It is possible to automatically optimize vote delay times in order to increase curation rewards.

Posting authority needs to be given to the @rewarding account. I created a discord server for all topics regarding steemrewarding.com: discord invitation.

steemrewarding is currently used by 131 users which created 2200 rules for posts, 88 rules for comments and 27 trail vote rules. In the last 7 days, 8477 time based votes and 1904 vp based votes were broadcasted through steemrewarding.

New Features

Votes are optimized withing minimum_vote_delay and maximum_vote_delay

Votes are only optimized within both parameter, which can be set in the settings page. This prevents that vote which are placed outside the 15 minute are optimized.

if best_performance > performance * optimize_threshold and vote_delay_min <= maximum_vote_delay + 0.1 and vote_delay_min >= minimum_vote_delay -0.1:
    if optimize_ma_length > 1:
        vote_delay_min = (vote_delay_min * (optimize_ma_length - 1) + best_vote_delay_min) / optimize_ma_length
    else:
        vote_delay_min = best_vote_delay_min
    if vote_delay_min > maximum_vote_delay:
        vote_delay_min = maximum_vote_delay
    elif vote_delay_min < minimum_vote_delay:
        vote_delay_min = minimum_vote_delay

optimization calculation performance improved

The optimization performance was improved by excluding votes from vote trails and by adding a new field vote_delay_optimized to the vote_log table. Votes that were not yet optimized have vote_delay_optimized set to True. In each voting round, 4 votes with this flag are optimized when the vote delay is greater than 15 minutes. As each vote is only optimized once, this speed up the process.

The frontend for opening permlinks and authors urls is changeable

Two new Col classes were constructed from a Col class, in which the frondend can be be given as parameter. The frontend parameter can be changed in https://steemrewarding.com/settings

class ExternalURLCol(Col):
    def __init__(self, name, url_attr, frontend, **kwargs):
        self.url_attr = url_attr
        self.frontend = frontend
        super(ExternalURLCol, self).__init__(name, **kwargs)

    def td_contents(self, item, attr_list):
        text = self.from_attr_list(item, attr_list)
        url = self.from_attr_list(item, [self.url_attr])
        return element('a', {'href': self.frontend + url, 'target': "_blank", 'class': 'table'}, content=text)

class ExternalAuthorURLCol(Col):
    def __init__(self, name, url_attr, frontend, **kwargs):
        self.url_attr = url_attr
        self.frontend = frontend
        super(ExternalAuthorURLCol, self).__init__(name, **kwargs)

    def td_contents(self, item, attr_list):
        text = self.from_attr_list(item, attr_list)
        url = self.from_attr_list(item, [self.url_attr])
        return element('a', {'href': self.frontend + '@' + url, 'target': "_blank", 'class': 'table'}, content=text)

note field added

A new field was added to the vote rule table, which can be used to store notes and information about a rule.

votes per day parameter is switchable between sliding and once a day

The maximum allowed vote rules per day are now switchable between a sliding 24h window and once a day (0:0:0 UTC).

        if sliding_window:
            date_24h_before = datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(hours=24)
        else:
            date_24h_before = datetime.today().replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0, microsecond=0)

New optimize_vote_delay_slope parameter

A new parameter was added, which can be set in the settings page. When this parameter is greater than 0, it changes the vote weight during vote delay optimization.

vote_weight = vote_weight + (vote_delay_min - old_vote_delay_min) * acc_data["optimize_vote_delay_slope"]

This parameter can be used to adapt the vote weight for the case that the vote delay optimum is far way from 15 minutes.
Let's make an example: optimize_vote_delay_slope is set to 3%/min, vote delay is 15 min and vote weight is 50%. When the optimum is at 1 minute, the vote weight is changed to

50% + (1 - 15) * 3 % = 8 %

This prevents that votes with high weight are broadcast within the first minutes that have a high vote penalty and that reduce the curation rewards for all other voters. The parameter can be used to reduce the vote weight when the vote delay optimization shifts the vote to the front.

vote round delay time included into vote delay

A new parameter voting_round_sec was added to the config file, which is the time of a vote round in seconds. The half vote round is then subtracted from the vote_delay_min parameter of a vote, so that the vote is broadcasted voting_round_sec / 2.0 / 60 minutes earlier. By this, the mean vote delay could be reduced to 1.17 seconds.

        if age_min < pending_vote["vote_delay_min"] - voting_round_sec / 2.0 / 60:
            continue

Rules are editable from the vote log

It is possible to directly edit a rule from the vote log page.

Sort:  
  • Great post with lots of explanations of coding choices, images and code samples.
  • Great code all around, except I'm not a big fan of one letter variables.
  • Good commit messages, but not one line of comments in the new code.
  • Awesome feature to change the front end URL. Decentralisation...

Thank you for your review, @helo! Keep up the good work!

Thank you you very much for creating this great tool. I've been waiting a long time for something like this and will start using it immediately.

Brilliant, flexible, feature-laden upvoter. I'm working on a precognition module to further improve curation rewards ;-)

This tool is getting better and better: thanks for your dedication to constantly improve it!

I particularly appreciated the addition (in a very short time from my suggestion) of front-end customization.


Everything is okay! 👌

What is optimize votes, anyways? That bit confuses me (math confuses me, even 2+2)
