SBD Potato Day 37: Automation Code Provided by Witness Stoodkev!
Since its inception a little over a month ago, the @sbdpotato project has received heartwarming support from the community, stakeholders and witnesses. The most recent support was provided by witness @stoodkev who donated his development time to the project to make it more efficient through automation.
The code repository can be seen on this Github link.
A cron job is set to run every 10 minutes on a Heroku free personal instance operated by @thecryptodrive and if there is STEEM present in the account the bot will sell it on the internal market for SBD at a max rate of 300 STEEM per cron interval, this rate can be adjusted in Config Vars.
Thereafter all available SBD is placed into conversion automatically.
If you would like to see the code in action, donate STEEM directly to @sbdpotato and watch the bot do its thing on https://steemd.com/@sbdpotato.
Future iterations will auto-claim rewards and refresh power-downs weekly. For now @sbdpotato will use @minnowbooster to auto-claim rewards.
Thanks so much to @stoodkev for his contributions to the project and helping the Steem community, please consider casting a vote for the @stoodkev witness!

Vote for this post to help fix the Steem Dollar Peg!
In case you missed it; here is THE LINK to the intro post about @sbdpotato.
TLDR, you vote for @sbdpotato's daily posts and the rewards @sbdpotato earns will be used to purchase SBD on the internal market, convert it to STEEM (reducing the SBD supply) and then the converted STEEM will be used in a circular fashion to purchase more SBD - Rinse Repeat! That's basically it!
Today's SBD Price (Spot): 0.614 USD
Current Debt Ratio: 13.96%
Target Debt Ratio: 9.90%
What do you get out of supporting @sbdpotato?
Well firstly by voting this post you will be helping fix SBD to get it pegged to 1 USD again as it was meant to, this could also help bring the STEEM price up with it. There is a theory that the two are circular, a strong SBD gives support to healthier STEEM prices, perhaps due to positive sentiment in the network.
In addition to doing your part to improve the economy of the Steem network, you will also earn SP curation rewards from voting the post that hopefully get decent traction.
You can set the @sbdpotato account on autovote using a service like beta.steemvoter, by creating a stream to autovote the @sbdpotato account at around 4 or 5 minutes as per the screenshot below. There are also other autovoter services you can use if you prefer.

As custodian of this project I, @thecryptodrive, will not derive any monetary value therefrom and undertake this under my duty as Steem consensus witness and ambassador.
I hope the Steem community will embrace this idea of supporting the SBD peg by voting the @sbdpotato posts regularly, alone we are powerless, together we can bring about change.
