Pocket confirmer bots: bug fixed; please upgrade to latest code now!
(If you are not running a confirmer bot, feel free to ignore this message! Keep using Pocket as you always have!)
Today Pocket gave me a chance to prove that I'm still around and still paying attention to the protocol. About a day ago, it appears that all of the confirmation bots except for @kata got stuck at a particular block. There is a method in the Steem Python library called get_replies() that inexplicably stopped working. The code needs this method to look for confirmation messages to pocketsend commands, and without it, all bots just hung. Except @kata. My suspicion is that the method doesn't fail if a pocketsend has no replies, and @kata just happened to be the first one past the gate when the bug turned up.
In any case, once I found the problem I fixed it quite easily by simply using a lower-level method to query the necessary replies. I've merged the changes into all branches, so whichever you are using should be good to go. Cheers!
As always, if you need a Bitshares account so you can trade POCKET IOU tokens issued by @virtualgrowth, you can sign up for Bitshares using this link.
Surprising. Than bot did stuck I've updated python-steem to the new url
https://api.steemit.com. It worked. I was thinking that RPC server uri change was causing this.Anyway, I'll update the code. Thank you for staying around!
I run my own steemd node, and my bot got stuck too. So I don't know. Right, I need to update the urls in the default config file too.
It is nice that
python-steemupdated too. It will fix problem from both ends.By the way, what version number do you have of python-steem?
I've pulled version with latest commit
6467801565be992140a1234ea9a4987aa6fd71ee(did not find the actual version number there)I did the same only earlier today and bot started to process blocks - and I am still running version without this fix. Before this change I've got a lot of errors:
so I also assumed that this is connected with killing of
steemd.steemit.com.What is worth mentioning, I had to change
steemd.steemit.comtoapi.steemit.comin steem-python code (setting any nodes in configuration file did not fixed anything). Nevertheless I will also try to update to newer version tonight.Right, that makes sense. I wonder why my local steemd was having the problem too. Weird.
In any case, I need to do a comprehensive upgrade to get it compatible with the official steem-python.

Did you see this post? It looks like a scam:

Thanks for using POCKET! I am a confirmer bot for fun, view my source confirmer code here. Don't know what a POCKET Token is? Here is a link to the official announcement post.
I think somebody once sent me some pocket...
how do i know if I have pocket... if I sound confused, that's because I am.
pocketsend:1@fraenk, just send one to yourself like this and a bot will reply if your have some.
