RE: A Bittersweet Cleanup: Automating My Hive Following List
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Is it possible to scan for accounts that have an authority set for an autovoter, too?
Be interesting to see how many "active" accounts have an autovoter, but no other activity.
0
0
0.000
Well, I thought about that, so this checks two things, when was the last time they posted, and even if not posted when was the last time they comment. I purposely didn't look at votes or tx's as they could be automated.
But, I could easily add voting to the mix and mark it differently.
and yes, if i had a decent list of autovoters (which right now I think is only hive.vote / steemauto), i could check the authority of each account to see if they were included.
Well, my thoughts are (I don't have time to do it though):
Retrieve the followers (or following) of a given user -
Aggregate a groupby of the "account_auths" under posting authorities (screenshot from block explorer)
Figure out which ones are belonging to auto vote services (or other services that enable them).
et voila, an adhoc piece of analysis, that if performed on all active chain users (as opposed to followers / following ) a % of who doesn't give their authority to an autovoter
I could try to do it through hivesql, and its on my list, but I don't know if you have the will or time to do it.
It is merely to satisfy my own curiosity about people who may intend to mislead about being manual curators, while having authorities still listed. No names in mind, just a thought exercise.
(and yes, I'm aware there's tons of ways to automate voting locally using scripts, and this method wouldn't catch it all)
I'm willing to write up a script and let it run to do that, do you want me to intentionally do your following/followers list or just run it against my own? Or i could just do it against every user.
Feel free to post the script if you do it, that way, we can all check our own backyards :)
I can spin up a venv to run it, haven't played with this "modern" hive python stuff since beempy and making direct calls to the SPL APIs back in the day :D
