WOA ballot stats

WOA ballot stats is a command line tool used to display voting statistics for the WOA network. Validators on the network engage in active governance, managing their roles and creating on-chain consensus. This is achieved through a balloting process. Ballot tracking provides transparency for WOA token holders and promotes validator accountability. The woa-ballot-stats tool displays active validator voting participation ordered by percentage of missed votes. The default display includes: * non-participation/associated ballots * missed % * validator voting key (truncated to fit screen) * validator mining key (truncated) * first name last name

Dependencies

Prior to downloading poa-ballot-stats, install and activate a fully synchronized node connected to the WOA network. See the POA installation guide for instructions. Note: woa-ballot-stats must access the full network logs. Use these flags when running a node: --pruning=archive --no-warp Example: bash $ tetsy --chain woa-chain-spec/spec.json --reserved-peers woa-chain-spec/bootnodes.txt --pruning=archive --no-warp

Installation

Stable Release

Download the archive for your platform from the latest release and unpack. Run the tool with ./woa-ballot-stats <options>.

Options

-h, --help view command line options and help information. <url> specify a different endpoint if your node uses a non-standard port. The default connects to a local node http://127.0.0.1:8545. -V, --version prints version information. -v, --verbose display collected ballot and key change events and the list of participating and abstaining voters for each ballot. -c, --contracts <contracts> append a map file with POA contract addresses in JSON format. The current maps for the main and test network are in the contracts folder. Default is the main network core.json file. -p, --period <period> a time interval in hours, days, months, etc. For example, -p "10 weeks" only counts participation in ballots created within the last 10 weeks. -b, --block takes the earliest block number as a decimal option. For example, -b 524647 counts participation from block number 524647 onward. Examples:

# run the application
$ ./woa-ballot-stats
# view options
$ ./woa-ballot-stats -h
# track voting on poa core network, display voting details for previous 10 weeks
$ ./woa-ballot-stats https://core.poa.network -v -p "10 weeks"
# specify the contracts/sokol.json map file and run on sokol test network with voting details
$ ./woa-ballot-stats -c contracts/sokol.json https://sokol.woa.network -v ```
### Latest code
If you have a recent version of [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/), you can clone this repository and use `cargo run --` instead of `./woa-ballot-stats` to compile and run the latest 
version of the code.
## Troubleshooting
### No Events Found error
1. Tetsy must be fully synced to the correct node and running in full mode, not "light" mode. Check Tetsy UI and/or Task Manager to confirm Tetsy is synced and actively connected to peers. 
2. `woa-ballot-stats` must run with a file matching the Tetsy network node. Use the contracts address file (`-c` option) that matches the network connection. Included are files for the main 
WOA network ("core") and the WOA test network ("sokol"). The Tetsy UI will show the current network selection in green. Make sure this is the correct network, and not the Foundation or 
other Vapory network.
