After spending some time looking for a name for my project on the BLURT blockchain the inspiration came... as a piece of evidence... something simple... BeBlurt

The first step of my project was to check the availability of the @beblurt account on the blockchain (don't hesitate to follow it because it will be the account used to publish new features, tutorials etc...) but also for the domain name beblurt.com. As it was the case I created the account on BLURT and I rushed to take the domain name by paying 2 years in advance.

To be able to create easily, quickly, and securely accounts on the BLURT Blockchain I made a short application in command line (nodeJS/ESM Typescript), if you are interested I put it in open source here: https://gitlab.com/beblurt/blurt-account-creation

The second part, which I started a few months ago now, consisted in acquiring a sufficient amount of BLURT, at the beginning I paid a much higher price than now but I still managed to buy more than 300,000 BLURT with my $3,000 (well, if Probit is willing to finally release my 32,500 BLURT that were stuck in a withdrawal when the chain stopped in early July, 54 days ago).

The third step was to create the BeBlurt's identity with a logo. I wanted something simple and at the same time incorporate a reminder of BLURT's identity. After a few hours of experimenting in Krita (a free equivalent to Adobe Photoshop) I had the idea of using 2 times the letter B and started to turn them upside down, cut a part of one, and finally arrived at the result below.

Ok, now it's time to get serious and define where to start this project, I won't spoil the global vision of this project to let you the surprise and prefer to reveal it only part by part.

This first part, which may still take some time and on which I have already spent more than a month and a half, will be targeted at people wishing to build a community by providing them with tools to develop it. Spoil! It's not about integrating communities to BLURT, which I gladly leave to @saboin

This will concern more tools such as:

• A delegation management system (including automatic payment of delegatee)
• A rather advanced automatic voting system
• An anonymous polling system
• A referral & campaign system

For this first part, first of all, I need to parse the BLURT blockchain to analyze each transaction of each block and more specifically each post.

To do this, I first needed a system that would allow me to know the full node with the lowest latency and with the JSON-RPC methods I needed (one of my goals is also to own in a near future a full node when the project will start to grow well) and that will help me to manage the failover.

As for the blurt-account-creation it's an open source, repo link: https://gitlab.com/beblurt/blurt-nodes-checker and it can be installed by npm via the command npm i @beblurt/blurt-nodes-checker too.

I invite you to read the README documentation for more information about this package, I won't put it here because it's a bit long and I don't want to pollute this already long post ;)

Ok, I have all I need, it's time for the fun (or not hahaha)

After testing and refining my post parser/analyzer I am quite satisfied, so I also had to set up a database, some data not being present naturally (like the sentiment index of a post, its languages, ...), so I opted for mongoDB (after having hesitated with the Graph Database neo4j).

Ok, now we have everything we need for our automatic voting system

What is MyAutoVote

it's an automatic voting system quite advanced allowing via a certain number of constraints to make it more efficient to reward people really involved in the BLURT eco-system.

MyAutoVote can be also seen as a helper tool for people who do a manual curation by using a low BP account to realize a prefilter of post to manually review them.

Here are some of the criteria it takes into account and that could give ideas to @ctime's bot and @megadrive's @blurtbooster bot ;)

Base settings

First of all, you need to fill the base settings:

• A min VP under which the bot stops waiting for your VP to return.
• A base % vote (can be 0)
• A delay before the bot upvote a post
• A max payout for the post after which the bot doesn't upvote
• A max number of posts the author made the last 7 days
• A min hours between posts under which the bot doesn't upvote

First filter, the TAGs

You can add 20 tags max to include, if one of them is present in the post it will go to the next step

You can add 20 tags max to exclude, if one of them is present in the post it will stop here

Exclude accounts

You can exclude accounts from your muted list and/or 20 specifics accounts

Special accounts

You can specify special accounts which will receive a bonus upvote

Voting grid

You can add a voting grid with a bonus if the post is in the range

Bonus grid

You can give an extra bonus if the post or the author matches the criteria, example: If the author made 15 comments on the posts from other authors during the last 7 days (not including his post or an answer to a comment)

MyAutoVote will be entering a test phase this week and for the next 10 days I think, during this period I will continue the project by working on the MyDelegation part

That's it for today :)
