Deepgram (W16) is pretty pumped about HamPanda and all the fun that SHOULD be had with it. Seriously, go have fun with it.

The magic is mostly brought out by drshrey, I'll have to get him in here.

Hey, I'm one of the creators of HamPanda. Just released a new update today for an RPG-like leveling system. I'm probably working on achievements next or King of The Hill where the person who scores the most number of pandas in that hour gets some sweet bonuses.

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/root/routes/game.py", line 395, in get
        audio_filepath = audioSubmission['filepath']
    TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

    During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tornado/web.py", line 1467, in _execute

    AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'decode'
so many wrong things with this..

debug mode is fully on!

We're working on the problem now. Everyone churned through audio faster than expected. New hams coming up.

Without seeing the actual code base, `audio_filepath = audioSubmission['filepath']` smells like a security vulnerability. Also calling `decode` on a user object seems wrong...

It's just UTF-8 decoding, not something dangerous.

Oh crap, sorry it was down; got it back up and running. Try it out!

I don't wan't hams and pandas, I want money! USD or Bitcoin would make the game/job more attractive from a user's POV.

Great point and we are definitely looking into this. How much is the right amount for a few seconds?
