Steem Late Vote Explorer

Description

Steem Late Vote Explorer (SLVE) is a tool I designed to visually represent and track last-minute votes in the interests of education and abuse detection. It is built with customizability in mind and can currently stream the blockchain to show a live feed of last-minute votes, as well as saving that data for visual representation at any time.

Bug Fixes

No Default File Location

Previously, if the user created a new AbuseDetection object in abuse_detection_steemit.py, they'd have to supply the directory of the .json files, otherwise they'd be treated with an error message.

Solution

To fix this, I changed the parameter for
containing_folder
from =r'' to =None
Then changed the code so that in the initialisation, if None had been passed, the directory is set as the current working dir (e.i. where the file was launched from).

Here we can see AbuseDetection loading the db without having to declare a directory.

The patch comes in two separate commits due to an error I failed to notice earlier.
1, 2

Steem Sincerity Down

As I pointed out previously, steem sincerity has been less than operational for a few weeks now, this was rendering the streamer in abuse_detection_steemit.py essentially useless. Errors would look like the ones shown below:

Solution

My long-term plan is to migrate to @steem-ua, but until the RPC becomes public and/or my account gets approved for RPC requests, that won't be possible.

For now, the only solution was to remove all traces of anything to do with steem-sincerity. This proved to be a rather arduous task since I'd integrated sincerity quite heavily into my code. The full commit can be found here.
