RE: The #Happystore: Steem's weekly LISTINGS service (week 21)
Yeah, it's definitely a learning curve. Does the bot automatically work on your posts? Or do you have to run a program? If he has a tutorial he used, I could probably use that to make it, or if you'd like to use the tutorial to learn to make the bot, I could give you the code for the randomized responses.
The only way I've been able to make a bot work is to download a virtual machine that has the Ubuntu operating system downloaded onto it, then manually run a Python script. If @daclawboyz has his running on the cloud, it would be much more hands off. I'm not sure how to do that without having to pay monthly for it, but he might know. The dice bot and a search bot should be substantially the same, so if he could point you/me towards a good tutorial that would probably be perfect.
The dicebots work on ANY steem page by calling the accountname. No additional software is required. He did mention a tutorial, but I never thought I would actually need it, so didn't take note of it. My bad. If I understood him correctly, he runs the software off his own server.
However, I did copy the address of a tutorial that shows how to set up a free cloud account and create your own vote bot. I think that might be the better option to try and follow since it doesn't rely on a personal computer being constantly on and available. Here's the link: https://steemit.com/bot/@stellabelle/create-a-free-open-source-voting-bot-with-fossbot
So I managed to set up a live stream of comments, but it throws up an error every now and then. Going to try and find someone who knows what they're doing to give me some advice.
Wow! You are making progress. I need to do 3 sets of income tax before I dive into any new studies. 2 weeks to deadline! I'm beginning to sweat.
Cool, I'll take a look when I get some downtime.
