When @officialmcafee posts his coin of the day, buy it ASAP.

• Read @officialmcafee's tweets in real time.
• Determine whether the tweet is a coin of the day announcement.
• If so, determine what coin it is.
• If it's on bittrex, buy it.

That is left as an exercise for you.

Before you even try to install this, you need to have the following things installed:

• git
• node.js
• yarn
• libtesseract-dev (NEW)

# OSX
brew install tesseract --with-all-languages

# Linux (Ubuntu)
apt-get install libtesseract-dev tesseract-ocr

I don't know what to tell you Windows people. Perhaps consider running Ubuntu under VirtualBox.

git clone [email protected]:DimensionSoftware/mcafee-bot.git
cd mcafee-bot
yarn

You have to go to both twitter and bittrex to get your own API keys. Once acquired, I recommend putting them in secrets.env.

• Twitter: https://apps.twitter.com/
  • Create an application.
  • You can leave callback URL blank.
  • After that's done go to Keys and Access Tokens and make some access tokens.
• Bittrex: https://bittrex.com/Manage#sectionApi
  • Read Info should be ON.
  • Trade Limit should be ON.
  • Trade Market doesn't matter.
  • Withdraw should be OFF for your safety.
• Binance: https://www.binance.com/userCenter/createApi.html (Coming Soon)
  • Read Info should be ON
  • Enable Trading should be ON
  • Enable Withdrawals should be OFF

source secrets.env  # You have to get your own API keys from twitter and bittrex!
bin/repl

This will drop you into a node.js repl with an instantiated bot you can command interactively.

// The bot.
bot

// How much BTC are you willing to spend per purchase?
bot.btcSpend = 0.25

// To get ahead of the pump, 
// what multiplier do you want to add to the current price when putting in the buy order?
// bid == price + (price * bot.adjustment)
bot.adjustment = 0.20

// If you want to see it read tweets:
bot.verbose = true

// If you want it to shut up (which is the default):
bot.verbose = false

// Make the bot connect to twitter and monitor tweets.  VERY IMPORTANT!
bot.init()

It is now waiting for @officialmcafee to tweet his coin of the day.
