That is a VERY good question, and I would love to integrate that into my
assetparser.py when I find the time (sponsoring/monetization ideas would accelerate it). If dividend payments can be spotted on the blockchain API, it should be possible to somehow implement it. Very good idea / inspiration.
Thanks Hubus!
Welcome - it's in our all interest...! Maybe you could integrate a voluntary user report/feedback into your software: Users report about their asset, if and how much dividends it pays. You could control it manually afterwards or find some way to automate or let it be confirmed by the other users (like "up- and downvoting")...
That good idea sounds very much like a good candidate for the "
trusted assets" section on the main site.
assetparser.py however -at this stage of its evolution-
will stay a blockchain API data eating machinery,
with no "soft data" from users entering.
What is on the blockchain, and confirmed, has an objectivity to it
that no "user reporting about their asset" will ever be beat
;-)
I think, assets should simply use the subtype 6 form of dividends payments, and all is cool, then a
future version of assetparser.py will be spotting them. For Nxt it is possible, for HZ still future music. I am actually wondering what happens, if someone created a subtype 6 coloured coins transaction, and tries to input that into the current HZ3.8 - is that possible at all, or would it get refused, could it be found on the blockchain afterwards? But anyways: from what I hear, the next major upgrade of the HZ base code is not too far away - and then it is solved, for future dividends, anyways.
Thanks for your ideas! More more more ;-)
