🚀 Rebuilding VoteBroker — from old voting bot idea to a modern curation automation platform
Over the last few month I rebuilt and modernized the old VoteBroker/SteemDunk concept into a completely new architecture.
The goal was never to create “just another voting bot”.
The idea is much bigger:
- 👉 transparent
- 👉 consent-based
- 👉 USD-driven
- 👉 community-focused curation infrastructure
💵 USD-based voting
Instead of manually selecting random vote percentages, users can define:
“I want this post to receive $2.50 worth of voting value.”
VoteBroker calculates the required vote weight automatically.
🧾 Fee-by-vote billing
No classic subscription required.
Instead of forcing direct payments, VoteBroker can settle fees through dedicated fee-post votes.
That means:
- transparent billing
- blockchain-native monetization
- no hidden background charges
- voting power becomes the payment layer
✅ Consent-based automation
One of the most important parts:
Login is NOT the same as automatic permission for fee-post voting.
VoteBroker separates:
- login consent
- vote consent
- fee-post consent
- optional auto-vote consent
Every consent can be revoked individually, and affected services are immediately blocked.
📊 Dashboard & transparency
The platform now includes:
- curated value analytics
- fee coverage tracking
- voting power health
- account health score
- community pool metrics
- timing recommendations
The idea is simple:
Users should understand what the system is doing — not blindly trust a black box.
🧠 Vote Timing Recommendation Engine
VoteBroker can now recommend WHEN a vote should happen.
Manual:
- 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 minutes
Or automatic timing based on:
- historical performance
- competition windows
- curation efficiency
- voting power health
- confidence/risk evaluation
👥 Community Pools
Communities can coordinate curation through shared rule-based pools.
Including:
- member roles
- vote budgets
- pool rules
- fee transparency
- operational health metrics
This turns VoteBroker from a single-user tool into collaborative curation infrastructure.
🌍 Internationalization
The platform is already prepared for:
- English
- German
- Spanish
- Korean
- Chinese
⚙️ Modern Architecture
The old legacy structure was rebuilt into:
- Fastify API
- React frontend
- domain-driven architecture
- Docker deployment
- modular consent system
- deterministic domain logic
- testable recommendation layers
Still early.
Still evolving.
But the foundation is finally where I wanted it to be.
Would love to hear feedback from the Steem/Hive community 🙌
