Important

VOTE_WITH_BALANCE allows you set the amount of DOT/KSM the governance proxy votes with. If you set this to 0, the governance proxy will vote with the entire balance. This is useful for cases where the account that receives delegations holds a balance that you don't want to lock up in governance.

The account that receives delegations can vote with as little as 1 DOT/KSM and anyone delegated will follow suit.

Remember to set VOTE_WITH_BALANCE='' in the .env config file before starting the bot back up

libraries

• discord.py==2.4.0
  • This release comes with a wide range of new features & bug fixes. For more detail please visit: discord.py v2.4.0 release notes
• substrate-interface==1.7.11
  • Nothing specific that the bot will benefit from, but its always good to keep up with the latest releases and not fall behind

---

Security

• requests==2.32.3

  • CVE-2023-32681 - Unintended leak of Proxy-Authorization header in requests
  • CVE-2024-35195 - Requests Session object does not verify requests after making first request with verify=False

Warning

Before upgrading to the latest version, please backup the following files:

• InternalGov-2.0/
  • .env
• InternalGov-2.0/data/
  • archived_votes.json
  • governance.cache
  • onchain-votes.json
  • vote_counts.json

Considerations

Now that the People Chain is producing blocks and RPC services are being switched on. We should consider updating the .env setting
PEOPLE_WSS='' to maintain fetching the identity of a wallet if one has been set.
Available Options:

• PEOPLE_WSS='wss://sys.ibp.network/people-polkadot'
• PEOPLE_WSS='wss://sys.dotters.network/people-polkadot'
• PEOPLE_WSS='wss://rpc-people-polkadot.luckyfriday.io'
• PEOPLE_WSS='wss://polkadot-people-rpc.polkadot.io'

What's Changed

• Minor patch(s) before 2.0.3 release by @Nadro-J in #56
  • Trim <index: title> to always be < 100 characters to mitigate exceeding the max length of 100.
  • initialize_environment_files() will check if the required files to run are present.
    • archived_votes.json
    • governance.cache
    • onchain-votes.json
    • vote_counts.json
  • Files removed from /data and added to .gitignore. initialize_environment_files() will handle the creation of these files on the first run.

InternalGov-v2.0.2

What's Changed

• cleanup in preparation of 2.0.2 release by @Nadro-J in #55

  • Moving synchronizing log message inside if sync_thread is not None to mitigate failure when a thread cannot be found for whatever reason. This allows sync_embed task to continue running without disrupting any of the other tasks.

  • Updated the method where if a proposal comes in and a thread gets created but the initial data doesn't get created in vote_counts.json then it will create the entry upon the first press of AYE/NAY or RECUSE from any user.

  • If a thread cannot be found when attempting to synchronize or lock after the proposal has passed/failed, use fetch_channel() and set archiving=False. This can happen when a user closes a thread or if the thread becomes inactive from lack of activity.
