Мегафон/Megaphone - an update

I would like to give you a short info that I am still alive and working on 'Мегафон/Megaphone' python tool.

I spent a lot of time on refactoring and instead of a fork for GOLOS I end up with a python tool and libraries that can interact with multiple graphene-based social blockchains and automatically recognize the blockchain. I am not sure the Megaphone name is still relevant...

The recent refactoring was rather big as it was 22 commits, see https://github.com/cryptomental/megaphone/pull/1/commits

Short summary

base was split into account, converter and post
account and blockchain can now be used both by STEEM and GOLOS blockchains
added support for public GOLOS nodes to node class
updated account, account_methods and blockchain examples
added lots of code documentation

What is possible now

Run account, account_methods and blockchain examples against both GOLOS and STEEM.

examples/account

Works on any account now on provided as an argument.

/github/megaphone$ python examples/account.py hipster
['У Голоса будет крутая Вики', 'Обращение к потенциальным делегатам Голоса', 
... 'Блокчейн Голоса успешно стартовал', 'Working Transactional Activity Chart?']

A small showcase that it can run on both blockchains. Also accepts account name as argument.

What is left to be done

The job is not over yet and there is a lot to be done. My plan is to:

clean up and test experimental, node and witness examples
add markdown documentation and push it to readthedocs.io
push the package to Python Package Index

After that I will ask Golos community to add Russian documentation.

All in all it looks good, I hope to finish these tasks by the end of this month.
I will give more update on the tool in my delegate's update before the weekend.
