Introducing: Jarvis - Your Personal Assistant for Steem

Jarvis (for Steem) is a script that automates essential functions for your Steem account[s]. Currently, Jarvis is able to do the following tasks:

• Transfer SBD & STEEM to a specified account (incl. encrypted memo)
• Power-up STEEM to a specified account
• Delegate STEEMPOWER to specified account[s]
• Claim SBD, STEEM & STEEMPOWER rewards

---

---

Here are some examples of how Jarvis can help you:

• Your alt accounts received some Steem? Jarvis can power it up automatically to your main account.
• You have a specific cold-storage account. Jarvis can transfer new incoming liquid STEEM & SBD of all your accounts to the specified cold-storage account while keeping track of how much you want to keep on your other accounts.
• You've got multiple accounts, to diversify your holdings and which should all powerup automatically to themselves, but your main-account should have that Steempower delegated for use? Well, Jarvis can do that for you.

Interested? Great! Setting it up isn't too difficult either.

Getting Started

---

Docker Installation (Recommended)

It is recommended to use Docker.

git clone https://github.com/therealwolf42/steem-jarvis.git
cd steem-jarvis
chmod +x run.sh
./run.sh install_docker

# Choose MODE (Default: development => testing-mode without broadcasts to blockchain)
./run.sh build MODE # MODE is either production OR development
./run.sh start

# To get a list of possible commands, use: ./run.sh help

---

Manual Installation

However, you can also run the node manually, with PM2 or your favourite program.

Requirement: Node >= 8
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y curl software-properties-common gnupg build-essential libssl-dev
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install -y nodejs
sudo npm i npm@latest -g

1.) Clone Repository and install packages

---

git clone https://github.com/therealwolf42/steem-jarvis.git
cd steem-jarvis
npm i

2.) Edit your Config

---

# There are 3 different example configs
# config.example.json (clean version)
# config.example.detailed.json (detailed version)
# config.example.smartsteem.json (version for Smartsteem.com)
cp configs/config.example.json configs/config.json
nano configs/config.json

Config Explanation

In the example above, I added all possible paths of using Jarvis so this should give you an idea, how to configure it, but here is the explanation in detail.

---

• Key Pairs => Array of object
  • account=> Your account name
  • type=> either activeor postingor memo
  • key=> private key

---

• General => General settings
  • minimum_steem_for_powerup => threshold for powerups
  • minimum_steem_for_transfer => threshold for transfers
  • minimum_steem_for_delegation => threshold for delegations
  • interval_in_minutes => how much time should pass between intervals of checking for work
  • test_mode => whether test mode should be forced (no actual transactions will be made)

---

• Accounts => List your accounts here
  • name => Account name
  • claim_rewards => Whether rewards should be claimed (requires posting key)
  • key_account => If the key_authority should be used from another account (you could essentially give one account all your key authorities and use only 1 key-pair)
  • actions => Array of actions, see below

---

• Action => What each account should do
  • action_type => can be transfer, powerup or delegate
  • to => account[s] that should be targeted i.e: where transfer/powerup/delegation should go to
  • asset => can be STEEM or SBD - only required for transfer & powerup (has to be STEEM for powerup)
  • keep => how much of the asset should be kept in the account
  • memo => only usable by transfers
  • encrypted => if the given memo should be encrypted (requires memo key as key-pair)
  • percentage => only required for delegate, how much of your total Steempower should go towards the user (has to be the same order as to field)

---

Manual Start

---

You can either run it directly with npm start or by using PM2.

sudo npm install pm2 -g # if you haven't installed it yet

pm2 start ecosystem.config.js --env production

---

Manual Testing

---

You can either set the test_mode inside the config to force the test-mode or start the program in development mode

npm run dev
# or
# pm2 start ecosystem.config.js

---

That's it for the technical post. Please let me know if the explanations were good enough.

I'll try to create another post in the near future, where I display some examples, how I'm personally utilizing Jarvis.

All the best,
Wolf
