Hello,
I have been using steemvoter in the last couple of weeks. I like the idea of auto-casting votes for the selected accounts.
Yesterday, I realized I have run out my free limits at steemvoter and found out if you ever want to increase that limit, you have to pay 3 SBD monthly.
That gave me the idea that I can build and run a small CLI app that can do the same thing for me.
I know 3SBD is not much. But I do like creating my own stuff generally and this was a great example of it.
Curobot
Curation + Robot.
Curobot has the same functionality of steemvoter except you don't have any web interface, form inputs.
It automatically casts votes for the selected users' posts. You can set your vote weight, vote delay in minutes per account.
It's not end user-friendly, but if you know about python and use servers, this can work in a small server -- even in your computer.
It's -of course- open source and licensed with MIT. You can see it @github/emre/curobot
Installation
(sudo) pip install curobot
You're all set. (You need python 3.6+)
Running
$ curobot config_file.json

You can then see the action in your mysql console:
Also, curobot gives helpful logging information to the stdout which you can check what's the bot doing.
