## RedFisher Intro
Recently, I submitted the original redfisher code. It is software designed to uncover small accounts that act in a way that is beneficial to the steem ecosystem, but are likeley to be struggling with RC issues. The utopian post can be found [here](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@sisygoboom/redfisher-v10--support-small-accounts-that-act-in-a-positive-way), and the github can be found [here](https://github.com/sisygoboom/redfisher).

### Changes

The redfisher bot is based on the original redfisher code, but has many improvements, I've put it in a separate repository as it makes more sense as a standalone. The most notable changes are:
##### It now has the ability to calculate account age.

##### Makes a daily post including all the accounts found for that day, ordered by age.

##### It now checks for self-voting in addition to the checks it already had (posts per week, powerups/powerdowns, and steempower ammount).

##### Steempower calculations now add back all outbound delegations so that users who've delegated away their sp aren't included.

#### Other small changes
- Instead of using a thread for each check which would result in lots of https response errors and such, the program now uses beem's  built-in `Pool` method to manage threaded operations and requests, which has worked wonders for code stability.
- Customizability has been improved and taken into consideration with this upgrade, there are two external, customisable files (`post_body.txt` and `settings.json`) that allow the user to enter their own account info and ideal settings easily and try it out for themselves.
- Measures have been taken to make sure retrieving account history during the check steps is as efficient as possible. For example...

# This bot has now been running for a number of days and can be found at @redfisher.app. 95% of proceeds will be powered up and delegated to these small accounts.

### Roadmap
- Integrate back into the main repository. Separate the check process into a separate class/library.
- Automatically delegate spare SP to accounts which have made it to the posts.
- More checks, possibly one to do with community engagement such as replying.
- Further work to make the program more efficient.
