This is fabulous news for those of us who don't know how to create one of these from scratch. And I also very much appreciate the tutorial. Thank you!

Get your bots up people, I particularly like the feature of being in control of your private keys. With the current phishing going on if you could hold on to any of your keys that would just be peachy. Thanks for this.

hmmm .... interesting @stellabelle. Thank you for sharing.

You can also try autosteem. Its a bot already made. Autosteem is listed in steemtools.com

Voting bots eh, they are great for projects especially if you want to help certain people. I'm working with a bunch of people to get a but running that can upvote good contents from a specific region, using tags and all that. But this can be a start.

 Thanks for this.

Till I get to a point I can use the bot, meanwhile I will bookmark this post and keep whenever I need it, will come over and learn it. Thanks for sharing @stellabelle.

And I would love to know your say in this @appics new development.☺

Can I skip the Heroku part and install it in my computer? the problem I see is GitHub only have the source code, not binaries.

I've been using FOSSBot for a few months now - it really is amazing!! Welcome to world of bot voting ☺️

Exactly what I was looking for  :-) FossBot ... thanks @stellabelle

This is really great. I never thought bot deployment and creation is this simple. I should get one soon. Bookmarking this and I have a question, 

dont we have to create a steemit account for the bot before we configure it? 

Good tutorials as always @stellabelle.

I will try this as soon as I can just because I love trying new things and this sounds pretty nice!
I just have a few questions:
Is there possibility to adjust the % of the vote?
Do you think it will have the ability to vote at certain time after the post is created?(like steemvoter)
Where do I click to make it handsome?

I hope this madness of steemit is fixed soon!

Great tutorial @stellabelle   this was really needed, FOSSBOt is a great piece of open source code to help people on Steemit perform some really good curation.

And you you have provided invaluable information here for Steemians to get started using it.

I guess that is how Umami was created?  I saw the vid.

Thanks for sharing!

This is fantastic. Thank you. I just tried out Steemvoter, which is nice because the voting bot also kind of acts like a bookmarker. But I'm not sure I want to pay 3 SBD for the premium service. I know it's not a lot, and for non-programmer types, it's a great service, but if I can make something myself, I'd rather do that. 

Ooooo you might just have made something I have been mulling over a reality. Thanks for the tutorial!

This is something I will try soon...I want to do my own bots and it does look do-able .. if I can figure it out I will..lol  thanks once again for shining a flashlight for those, like me in the dark on programming.  You have earned a 🐝 AWARD.  "And that's not all (like on the game shows) Lol tip! .20

I was looking the other days for bot deployment and creation and this is really helpful.

This is really Bot for dummies lol. Thank @stellabelle for this

Awesome, I will check it out ...good job @personz and thanks to you my dear Stella for always furnishing us with great contents...keep steeming to more success and I wish you a blessed week.

I commented on your former posts  however my comments were lost hence why you didnt see it... due to  bug 
 that caused posts visibility to be   low. It affeced my latest post which outlined some solutions about the problem, feel free to see it and note the tips

I will try this soon... I am not really a technical person but I want to learn more about Steemit.

would love to test it... by the way, don't forget vto make picture of my daughters creation steemfest. she would love to receive it..
I also hope that you vote for me as witness.. I am new, fresh and ready to be the new kid on the blockchain..

Stellabelle, After I have been using steemit for more than six months. I realize that manual vote is better for me (but there is an exceptional for me). You have influenced me so far, to focus how to make a good posting. Also this habit make me to change how to search and read a good post and vote manually. Anyway good posting :)

Thanks for sharing! A link to your post was included in the Steem.center wiki article about [Bots](https://www.steem.center/index.php?title=Bots). Thanks and good luck again!

<p>This post has received a 30.00 % upvote from @lovejuice thanks to: @abh12345.  They love you, so does Aggroed.  Please be sure to vote for Witnesses at https://steemit.com/~witnesses.</p>

@stellabelle -  **This is cool.  I do not yet have sufficient steem power so that my auto-votes would matter but I guess I can provide whatever little value I can to some Steemians with my tiny vote.**
Thank you for explaining it in detail.  Will try it out.
**Hope my blogs will be worthy enough some day to be on your upvote bot list**    I will continue to work hard to create good original content.

A note from @personz: you need to use the `
author_is_whitelisted`
 metric with some positive weight, like say 100 for example. it will do nothing without at least one metric. After you type in the list of authors on your whitelist, and add a metric, in the EDIT ALGO section, you're done.
