Beep! Hello, Steemians! @lottobot has just received an update to its code base! This update is relatively minor, but some changes are ahead, so read on to get more info!
The main change in this update is that @lottobot will now make daily posts that give some statistics about its lotteries. These posts will happen about midnight, UTC. Each of these posts will list some information about the previous day's lotteries, such as the average number of entrants or the winners of each lottery. This info will be very useful to anyone who is interested in the inner workings of @lottobot, but doesn't want to spend time pouring over the source code.
Most other changes are minor and on the user side: @lottobot now archives its lotteries differently, and no longer stores a large list of archives. @lottobot also now writes error messages more safely.
Check out the GitHub repo for the full code of @lottobot: https://github.com/ErikLetson/steem-lottobot
@lottobot is maintained by @hmagellan. Follow him for more info!
First time hearing about @lottobot? Interested in giving it a try? It's easy! Simply send 0.1 SBD or STEEM to @lottobot and include the URL of the post you would like to enter in the lottery as a memo! Approximately every 2.5 hours, @lottobot will select a single winner from among all entrants to award a 100% upvote to!
Read more about it in the Intrductory Post!
So long for now Steemians! And best of luck!
