RE: Tutorial - DSteem - Basic Paid Voting Bot
Thank you for your contribution. Below is our review:
- The concepts introduced are not new, many similar bits and pieces can be found elsewhere, yet overall I enjoy those tutorials, you're doing a good job writing them.
- It's also cool you're using codepen, helps quite a bit for anyone trying to test out and modify/build upon your work.
- I would not have used steemToSbdRatio as a constant value. You could have pulled the actual ratio dynamically.
- One of your comments mentions a "bid" value, although this is not a bid approach per se, since you are directly processing the upvote for incoming posts regardless of any other incoming vote requests. This actually also brings up another topic, which I hope you will tackle in upcoming work, which is setting limits on how low you want your bot's VM to go, and how often you would process votes, as not to break your 3 seconds limit.

Hey, thanks for the review and detailed feedback!
Totally realise there is a number of similar DSteem tutorials out there. Working to create a consistent catalogue that anyone who follows the tutorials can know and recognise my style. Hopefully there is not too much crossover along the way. No need to re-invent the wheel and all that. I like to think making these more accessible by setting the code up on Codepen.io adds a unique offering too.
Would have liked to add dynamic ratios, task queue and some extra rules for paid votes too but felt a tad too much for this one. With out a doubt there are plenty of ways to improve this script.
Thank you for your review, @mcfarhat! Keep up the good work!
