Steem Blockchain Local Broadcast JavaScript Tools

This project provides JavaScript scripts to interact with the Steem blockchain. It includes tools for delegating and returning vesting shares, using the steem-js library with multi-node failover support.

Features

• Delegation: Delegate STEEM Power (VESTS) to other accounts
• Return Delegation: Return delegated STEEM Power (VESTS) from other accounts
• Easy Input: Specify amounts in STEEM instead of VESTS for user convenience
• Multi-Node Support: Automatic failover between multiple Steem nodes
• Connection Testing: Test connectivity to Steem nodes with detailed information

Prerequisites

Before running the scripts, ensure you have the following installed:

• Node.js
• npm
• VS Code

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Steemblocks/Steem-Local-Broadcast.git
   cd Steem-Local-Broadcast

2. Install the required dependencies:

   npm install

3. Edit the config.js file and add your Steem account details and preferred nodes:

   module.exports = {
       username: 'your-userid', // Replace with your Steem username
       activeKey: 'your-active-key', // Replace with your active private key
       nodes: [
           'https://api.steemit.com',
           'https://api.moecki.online',
           'https://steemd.steemworld.org',
           'https://api.steemitdev.com'
       ],
       currentNodeIndex: 0 // Index of the initially selected node
   };

   Replace your-username and your-active-key with your Steem account credentials. The nodes list can be modified according to your preferences.

Usage

Test Node Connection

Before performing any operations, you can test the connection to the Steem nodes:

node testConnection.js

This will:

• Connect to the first available node
• Display detailed blockchain information
• Automatically switch to alternative nodes if the current one fails

Delegate STEEM Power

To delegate STEEM Power to another account, use the steemDelegate.js script:

node steemDelegate.js <delegatee> <steemAmount>

• <delegatee>: The account you want to delegate to
• <steemAmount>: The amount of STEEM to delegate

Example:

node steemDelegate.js "the-gorilla" 1000

This delegates 1000 STEEM worth of VESTS to the account the-gorilla. If the current node fails, the script will automatically try other available nodes.

Return Delegated STEEM Power

To return delegated STEEM Power from another account, use the cancelDelegation.js script:

node cancelDelegation.js <delegatee> <steemAmount>

• <delegatee>: The account you want to return delegation from
• <steemAmount>: The amount of STEEM to return

Example:

node cancelDelegation.js "avro33" 0.00

This returns all STEEM delegation from the account avro33. After canceling, you can delegate again using steemDelegate.js with your desired amount.

Node Failover

All scripts include automatic node failover:

• If the primary node fails, the system automatically switches to the next available node
• The operation is retried on the new node without user intervention
• The process continues until a working node is found or all nodes have been tried
