Switching Libraries and Rewriting From Ground Up

Declining payout as bot doesn't need it. This is a small update to acknowledge that I am not ignoring the project. I have a list of nodes but the library I was using (piston-lib by @xeroc) does not appear to hold support for http/https requests or at least it throws errors every time it attempts to connect to any node containing an http (http://node.example or https://node.example) address. The documentation says to specifically use nodes that handle support for web sockets (wss://node.example or ws://node.example) and as such I am making a switch over to steem-python (official steem library) and I am just working on getting it set up, along with a slight update to OS. I am reading docs and will have time tomorrow to reprogram the bot. I almost want to ask if there is a c/c++ native library for interacting with the steem blockchain. Something that shouldn't be to hard to make (more time consuming but all the groundwork is laid), I believe there is a library specific for http and I already know that there is OS specific libraries for handling websockets in order to supply legacy support for nodes still accepting web socket requests over using http. Sorry, I know there are reasons why python would be used over C/C++ but at the same time it would be way way less CPU intensive of a project to be able to handle certain issues present from this with a lower level architecture... this is becoming a rant about python and it really shouldn't. Anyways tomorrow I work on bot (already know how it should work so that is a plus!)

This version will come prepackaged with premium accounts for steemstem curators. The gui based program is in the exact same state now as it was before and should be finished in the next couple of months (last thing on priority) upon finishing of that I will upload a slightly modified version of the code to a public github repository and keep a private repository for my own version. Most of the material from the first bot (with exclusion of the blockchain specific stuff) passes over so it isn't starting completely from scratch. Anyway yeah.
