hey it's totally possible to make your own bid bot, I have it inline as part of this series although it won't be as advanced as some of the bid bots (the tutorial would be too long). Should be tue or wed next week.

There are great tools for the steem blockchain in javascript and python. I would recommend to start learning either of those languages. Any programming will help because building something like a bit bot is more about concepts and problem-solving. Learning to figure out what needs to happen in what order then matching up the available tools to those steps.

You can learn a lot from trial and error, copy the finished code here and open it up in your browser. Try changing a name or changing 'vote' and see what breaks, then reset and try again.
