Bitcoin dealer

Bitcoin dealer is simple Django script for trading bitcoins currently only on MtGox exchange. Currently only API version 0 is supported, which will be deprecated on 1th of March, but new API support should be available before that date. :)

Script is most useful for those who do not have time to watch price of bitcoin all the time, have a PC running all the time and know how to write few "Hello worlds" with two if cases.

Installation

• Register to MtGox - https://mtgox.com/
• Install Django - https://www.djangoproject.com/
• Run: git clone [email protected]:rokj/bitcoin_dealer.git
• Install and configure database you will use.
• Change database settings in settings.py.
• Run: python manage.py syncdb
• Change following variables in settings.py:

• mtgox_username = 'your mtgox user'
• mtgox_password = 'your mtgox pass'
• mtgox_key = 'you get this in mtgox admin page'
• mtgox_secret = 'you get this also in mtgox admin page'
• check_interval = 7
• bd_debug = True
• "exchange" into INSTALLED_APPS

• Set DEBUG to True in settings.py and set TEMPLATE_DEBUG to DEBUG.
• Start trading script with in root bitcoin dealer folder like: python -u scripts/dealing.py
• Start webserver in root bicoin dealer folder like: python manage.py runserver 8000
• Goto http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ and trade.

Troubleshooting

If paths for running script cannot be found and you get errors, set following variables:

export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=bitcoin_dealer.settings

export PYTHONPATH=/your_path_to_one_path_less_than_bitcoin_dealer/

bitcoin_dealer is the name of the folder you have cloned this project. If you have bitcoin_dealer in /programs/bitcoin_dealer/ then you should export PYTHONPATH=/programs/.

Info

Right now you should not change status of trades, since it is not fully implemented (but it will have effect on other related trades if you change status from selling to sold for example). Just leave it as it is. If you would cancel trade, just uncheck active checkbox, but be careful to deactivate related first.

WARNING

Watch out, settings.py should be accessible only to you, your account and with your permissions.

Script works correctly only if you have enough funds (bitcoins, $, €, ...) on your MtGox account.

You like this little script, you find it useful or want new feature?
