What is the project about?

The Swapsteem promo bot is a service designed for promotion of the Swapsteem platform to steem users, however it can be forked and used by anyone willing to promote their account/application/service on the steem blockchain. The related task request by @swapsteem can be found here.

As shown in the below code from this commit,The promo-bot, listens to incoming and outgoing transfers for certain target accounts(Competitors) and sends promotional message to the party using the target accounts' services with a transfer of 0.001 STEEM/SBD and predefined memo.

// stream transactions from the blockchain 
const stream = client.blockchain.getOperationsStream({mode: dsteem.BlockchainMode.Latest})

console.log(`Following ${ TARGET_ACCOUNT } For New Transfers`)

// the stream will emit one data event for every operation that happens on the steemit blockchain
stream.on('data', (operation) => {

    // we only care about transfer operations made to and from the user we follow
    if (operation.op[0] == 'transfer') {
        let transfer = operation.op[1]
        if (transfer.to === TARGET_ACCOUNT) {
            console.log(`${ transfer.from } sent money to ${ transfer.to }`)            
            //TODO - Check for Transfers from other exchange accounts and skip promotion 
            
            // broadcast the promotional transfer to the network
            client.broadcast.transfer({
                amount:'0.001 SBD',
                from:PROMOTER,
                to:transfer.from,
                memo:TRANSFER_MEMO

            },key).then(
                console.log("promoted to "+transfer.from)
            ).catch((error) => {
                console.warn('transfer failed', error)
            })
        }
        if (transfer.from === TARGET_ACCOUNT) {
            console.log(`${ transfer.from } sent money to ${ transfer.to }`)
            //TODO - Check for Transfers to other exchange accounts and skip promotion 

            // finally broadcast the vote to the network
            client.broadcast.transfer({
                amount:'0.001 SBD',
                from:PROMOTER,
                to:transfer.from,
                memo:TRANSFER_MEMO

            },key).then(
                console.log("promoted to "+transfer.from)
            ).catch((error) => {
                console.warn('transfer failed', error)
            })
        }
    }
})

Technology Stack

This bot uses Node.JS as the server and Dsteem library for communication with the steem blockchain.

Roadmap

Currently, the bot is designed specifically for Swapsteem, but I am planning to make it more generalized and configurable for different promotion strategies. The roadmap for next releases is

• Add feature to follow multiple target accounts
• Add feature to skip balcklisted accounts
• Add feature to store promoted accounts in database
• Add filter to only promote to an account only once a week
• Add check for Promotion balance and budget.

How to use and contribute?

• Create an .env file in the root of the project
• Define the env varaibles with help of example.env
• Run npm start
• Add features to existing code
• Create a PR
