Overview
Dr. Doogie (drdoogie.rb
) is a voting bot that will trail the votes of other accounts in order to then mirror their voting pattern.
Install
To use this Radiator script:
Linux
$ sudo apt-get install ruby-full git openssl libssl1.0.0 libssl-dev
$ gem install bundler
macOS
$ gem install bundler
I've tested it on various versions of ruby. The oldest one I got it to work was:
ruby 2.0.0p645 (2015-04-13 revision 50299) [x86_64-darwin14.4.0]
First, clone this gist and install the dependencies:
$ git clone https://gist.github.com/d57c9bc744f05ada01d173521c01df8a.git drdoogie
$ cd drdoogie
$ bundle install
Then run it:
$ ruby drdoogie.rb
Check here to see an updated version of this script:

Upgrade
Typically, you can upgrade to the latest version by this command, from the original directory you cloned into:
$ git pull
Usually, this works fine as long as you haven't modified anything. If you get an error, try this:
$ git stash --all
$ git pull --rebase
$ git stash pop
If you're still having problems, I suggest starting a new clone.
Troubleshooting
Problem: What does this error mean?
drdoogie.yml:1: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting end-of-input
Solution: You ran ruby drdoogie.yml
but you should run ruby drdoogie.rb
.
Problem: Everything looks ok, but every time drdoogie tries to post, I get this error:
`from_base58': Invalid version (RuntimeError)
Solution: You're trying to vote with an invalid key.
Make sure the .yml
file voters
item have the correct account name and WIF posting key.
Problem: The node I'm using is down.
Is there a list of nodes?
Solution: Yes, special thanks to @ripplerm.
