Beem: account.history_reverse() may fail with TypeError and Beem: Race condition in blockchain.blocks() when using threads by @stmdev [Bug Hunting]

Both these bug reports by @stmdev detail two different bugs found in Beem, a python library to interact with the Steem blockchain. These are a true example of the true potential of bug-hunting, where a problem identified by one developer leads to shared information, that benefits other related projects. A fine show of the power of Open Source: strength in shared knowledge.

By composition, these reports contain great insights into the nature of the problems, how they can be reproduced and ways to mitigate. These contributions shine in regards to bug-hunting as a whole.

This page is synchronized from the post: Weekly Top of Utopian.io: May 25 - 30

Our goal has always been and will be to empower innovation on the Steem blockchain, with a focus on Open Source projects and initiatives. Today, we are announcing the Utopian.io Innovation Trail aimed to help grow initiatives promoting technological innovation, scientific progress and Open Source. In addition, we are raising the maximal caps on contribution rewards to give even higher rewards to your top quality contributions.

Utopian.io Innovation Trail

The Steem blockchain is full of valuable and interesting content related to science, technology and open source development. Numerous curation initiatives and community accounts are using their power to reward such posts and their authors, incentivizing them to create more of such content. To support and empower these initiatives, we’ve decided to have the @utopian-io account trail the votes of a few select accounts.

Currently, @utopian-io will be trailing @steemstem at a relative vote of 15% and @steemmakers at a relative vote of 5%.

Accounts and initiatives focused on curation of relevant content are welcome to get in touch with us. Please create a ticket in our ticketing system titled “Innovation Trail Application” and we will contact you or Contact us on Discord.

Maximum Vote Caps Raised

Exceptional quality merits exceptional rewards. This is why we have decided to raise the maximum voting cap (and thus the reward) at varying percentages per category. We hope that by raising the maximal reward possible we will see more impactful and valuable contributions submitted to Utopian.io.

As Utopian.io grows and evolves, along with the changing values of STEEM currencies, we will continue adjusting our reward distribution workflows and percentages, to continue providing incentives to our community of Open Source contributors.

Meet @nepeta: She’s a technology lover, digital content hoarder, experienced FOSS developer, and she describes herself as “just a regular girl from Poland”.

Who are you, Nepeta?

On Github: https://github.com/Ominousness

Professionally, I’m a web developer, but I’m not afraid to dabble in lower-level matters like kernel development or cryptography. I love electronic music and I’m an amateur EDM producer myself. My favorite producer is Porter Robinson, AND I admire him not only for his looks (although he’s hot) but for his musical experiments.

Something that may not be a popular opinion over here, but I love Apple. Their attention to detail is astonishing and they are not afraid to protect users’ privacy.

How long have you been involved in Open Source projects? Do you own / manage one or more of your own?

I’ve been involved in FOSS for almost a decade now. It all began with my switch to the GNU/Linux operating system.

Currently, I manage a few projects that are recognized in their respective niche communities (mostly /r/jailbreak). One of them is a music visualizer tweak for the jailbroken iOS 11 (https://github.com/Ominousness/MitsuhaXI). It started out as a fork of an older project.

What does your professional skill-set offer the Open Source community and what type of contributions do you normally make?

I try to focus on making projects useful for me and I’m happy when they are of use to other people. So I am mainly focused on creating new projects designed for myself and hoping that the code will help other, less experienced programmers. I will include requested features as long as it doesn’t break the core features of that project. I also take time to submit fixes to other projects to improve them (although usually for my personal purposes).

Which programming languages / platforms do you feel most at home with?

The majority of my personal projects are developed in Ruby. My (closed source) Discord bot runs on Ruby and discord.rb. My (also closed source) file hosting software works on Ruby, Roda and Sequel. I plan to open source these projects soon. I also have some love towards the new Ruby-inspired languages like Elixir and Crystal. My Elixir projects are available on my GitHub profile (linked above).

Java has been useful to me with some more advanced projects thanks to its extensive community support, and JavaScript with smaller ones. Currently, I am working on an experimental Bitcoin Cash-influenced (memo.cash service but integrated as a feature) cryptocurrency in Java.

How did you discover Utopian? What made you want to take part?

I discovered Utopian quite recently when I was looking for a way to sign up for Steem. Utopian’s signup module was running on testnet, but I was lucky to be offered an account by the CEO (@elear) on Discord.

I love explaining the logic behind my projects and sometimes the explanations will help other programmers (like StackOverflow and random programming blogs helped me), so Utopian.io was a good fit.

My first contribution was a post about figuring a way of getting a dump of iOS audio buffer and granting access from sandboxed app to that dump. I hope the explanation is detailed enough to let other people make use of it.

https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@nepeta/developing-ios-tweaks-a-case-study-of-fetching-system-s-audio-buffer-from-sandboxed-processes

How do you think Utopian affects your relationships with the Open Source community and ecosystem?

I have yet to contribute enough to Utopian to claim it had any impact on my relationship with the community, but it definitely made contributing more enjoyable for me. It feels really motivating to see my contributions to unknown niche projects being rewarded. The Utopian community inspired me to start planning a tutorial series to be published soon to Utopian.io.

Are there any particular projects on Utopian you’re a fan of?

SteemPay is interesting. I love how SteemPay achieves what other cryptocurrencies have been striving for. Dead simple payments with no fees thanks to the power of the Steem blockchain.

I believe that Steem and SteemPay will become the uncontested leaders in cryptocurrency microtransactions. Simpler and cheaper than PayPal. Can’t wait for the widespread adoption.

What is your favorite thing about Utopian?

My favorite thing is people finally being rewarded for their FOSS contributions. This is been an issue for the longest time, with only the biggest contributions rewarded through bounties.

How do you see the future of Utopian? What would you want it to be, and where would you like to see yourself in it?

I’d love to just stay a contributor. Believe I’m not fit for a community management position.

I hope to see Utopian become a big foundation akin to the Linux Foundation. Utopian getting some influence on FOSS projects would be a nice addition to the ecosystem. I don’t claim that the FOSS world should be more diverse, but shaking the current order is something I’m looking forward to.

Utopian Signup Module Improvements

Before we began using the signup module to onboard new Utopians, we worked hard at debugging and improving it. This week, we fixed multiple bugs and added a few important features.

A completely new system to avoid abuse

To save the dedicated Steem Power we have from abuse as we create new accounts, a new flow has been implemented.

If you are a great contributor with a well-established GitHub account, the registration will be instantaneous. The signup will only require email verification, following which your account will be created.

If your Github account isn’t immediately verifiable, you will have two options:

• Insert an invitation code. Invitation codes can be requested via our Discord server.
• Proceed by email and sms verification. A manual verification will be done in this case and an account will only be created after approval.

We are confident these changes will make the signup much less likely to be abused.

The new signup system is now working on the mainnet and creating accounts for awesome Open Source contributors!

Invisible Recaptcha

An invisible recaptcha has been implemented to mitigate potential bots and improve the security mechanisms of the signup. We are also working on implementing IP, email, and virtual number filters. Such security measures are essential to avoid any potential abuse of our Steem Power and to ensure that we use it only to create genuine accounts.

Un-delegation Bot

Steem accounts created through our new signup system receive Steem Power delegation from Utopian.io to begin contributing and participating in the community. To encourage users to be active on the platform and on the blockchain, and to ensure no Steem Power is wasted on unused accounts, we will automatically retract the delegation 45 days post account creation. This bot (coded in Python) is made available thanks to the efforts of @amosbastian.

Bug Fixes

The improved signup module instantly checks if the username already exists on the Steem blockchain, and throws a more understandable error to highlight this fact. Other minor issues relating to checking username format have been resolved.

Utopian.tasks Resteem Bot

In an effort to showcase task requests submitted to Utopian.io and scored by our team, @amosbastian wrote a bot to resteem all valid task requests to @utopian.tasks. Outstanding task requests will also be resteemed by the main @utopian-io account for maximum exposure.

Branding of our Team’s Tools

To give tip.utopian.io and review.utopian.io a more user friendly and Utopian-themed look and feel, @ms10398 reworked the page design and added our official graphic branding elements.

Landing Page Improvements

In order to make our curation efforts more accessible and easier to understand, we have updated our landing page at join.utopian.io.

New Login Modal

A new login modal now pops up when clicking on Login on the landing page, to give newcomers useful options for the different frontends they can use to contribute to Utopian.io.

Contribution Guidelines

This week we have finally switched from Rules to Guidelines. You can forget the word “rules” which has been so critical in Utopian so far.

You can now contribute freely, as long as you provide quality work. You can follow our guidelines found on join.utopian.io/guidelines to learn about the best practices to follow in your posts for improving your chances of receiving a high score and getting rewarded.

The same new Guidelines Landing Page has also received significant updates, making it much more readable and accessible, as seen in the screenshot below.

Stay tuned for more!

We are creating a lot of educational material to help teach the community how to contribute and provide the quality work we expect on the platform. Follow the new account @utopian.edu to be the first to access all of our free educational content, covering all categories.

The very first video tutorial in the series is planned for release TOMORROW! Don’t miss it!

Content Plan

Thanks to the amazing work of our PR department, which includes @techslut and @imwatsi, we were able to come up with a lot of new interesting content, as well as a final content schedule.

We have kickstarted:

• The Utopian Weekly, with updates on our progress

• The first People Of Utopian , with interviews of active and influential members of Utopian

• The Top of Utopian, with highlights of staff picks and statistics on contributions

• The Utopian Mag. A new magazine about everything Open Source. The first edition will be published next week!

This page is synchronized from the post: Weekly Top of Utopian.io - May 17 - 24

When it was established, Utopian.io adopted a set of “rules” to give criteria for the approval of contributions submitted to Utopian.io . These rules offered a binary view of “approved” and “rejected”, creating an unnatural dichotomy between what was rewarded and what was rejected.

After weeks of hard work involving the community managers, company advisors, moderators and (of course) community feedback Utopian.io is ready to ditch the rules and adopt a new set of Utopian.io Policies & Submission Guidelines.

This new approach, combined with the process of scoring the contributions submitted (instead of approving or rejecting them), will allow for a more flexible and scalable process of reward distribution.

In addition, we took the opportunity to rework the guidelines for specific categories, and refine the rules for better readability, as well as a visual redesign (by @ms10398) of the Utopian.io Policies & Submission Guidelines page.

From Rules to Policies & Guidelines

A Utopia does not need “rules”, as such, and so we believe every contributor should be free to contribute to whatever open source project they wish in whatever way they like. That said, it is our primary goal and vision to incentivize and reward only the best contributions that bring the highest value to projects and the open source ecosystem overall, and to be able to continue doing so in the future.

Policies for Participation

Every platform or service in the world has a set of policies in place aimed at protecting the service from potential harm (such as lawsuits or negative brand reputation), its services from abuse, and its users from a negative experience on the platform. As part of the switch from rules to submission guidelines, we’ve separated and emphasized the importance of policies, such as those for code of conduct, content originality, copyright issues and cases of abuse.

Regardless of your intention to submit contributions, it is critical that you get acquainted with the policies as your continued participation in Utopian depends on your adherence to them.

Guidelines for Rewards

Assigning a numeral quantifier to perceived quality of contributions submitted is a harder task than one might think. That is the reason why we’ve worked tirelessly to create synergy between professionally composed guidelines and effectively designed scorecards for each category. This way, we can compare the quality of contributions not only against said guidelines, but also between the different contributions in the category, according to their score.

As previously announced and emphasized, rewards or incentives from Utopian.io are never guaranteed even if all guidelines are followed. The rewards are distributed, as previously announced and detailed, to the highest scoring contributions in every category, rather than to all “approved” contributions (as previously done).

It is our hope that this change in view and mindset will lead to an ongoing growth in the quality and quantity of contributions submitted and rewarded.

Category Specific Modifications

Along with the switch in mindset, this update includes a few much-awaited changes to specific categories.

Copywriting

As mentioned in previous posts and Managers Weekly calls, contributions in the Copywriting category are now only eligible for rewards if they are made in response to public requests by Project Owners. These include Task Requests made on Utopian.io and other verifiable forms of public requests such as website announcements.

Graphics

To ensure only the most valuable and professional work is rewarded, and to prevent potential abuse and negative experiences of Project Owners with this category, contributions in the Graphics category are now eligible for rewards only if they are bound to a public request from the Project Owners or linked to a Utopian Task Request.

Visibility

In addition to Influencer Task Requests, contributors wishing to be rewarded for their efforts can now promote their favorite projects found in the Utopian.io Visibility Whitelist, to have their contributions scored according to guidelines.

We hope this opportunity to freely set campaign goals, select audiences and optimize the ad message will let our contributors fully employ their skillset as professional marketers.

Project Owners may apply for addition to the whitelist by contacting the Visibility Moderation Team in the influencers channel, on the Utopian.io Discord server.

Video Tutorials

To be eligible for reward, video tutorials instructing “foundation level” concepts can now be submitted only by contributors who have submitted more than 20 professional quality contributions in the past. In a nutshell, foundation level concepts are unique to an Open Source project, straightforward in complexity, and in required learning for all users of the project.

We hope that supporting foundation level video tutorials will provide learners with thorough learning resource collections for Open Source projects.

So who gets upvoted by @utopian-io?

The best, most significant and valuable open source contributions submitted for scoring are the ones that enter the voting round to receive an upvote from @utopian-io. The best way to ensure your contribution receives such an upvote is to follow the Utopian.io Policies & Submission Guidelines and exceed the performance of others.

In addition, exceptional excellence is rewarded through Staff Picks. A handful of contributions selected by Utopian.io Community Managers on a regular basis will receive the highest reward for the category and serve as an example of stelar work.

Utopian.io (still) RULES!

Utopian.io will continue to change, improve and evolve for you and with you. While our team invested a great deal of time and effort to set clear guidelines for submission, we trust you, the community, to set the standard and exceed our expectations.
