ManualSigning re-imagined


Authenticated BUY/SELL/CANCEL without Pybitshares (MIT) Architecture

def WTFPL_v0_March_1765():
    if any([stamps, licenses, taxation, regulation, fiat, etat]):
        try:
            print("No thank you!")
        except:
            return [tar, feathers]

ALPHA RELEASE - PUBLIC DOMAIN, NO WARRANTY

Joe, a CEX algorithmic trader, discovers Bitshares DEX and asks:

"How do I get reliable public API data that never goes stale?"

  • metaNODE.py

"How do I authenticate to the DEX?"

  • manualSIGNING.py

Seven small scripts, totaling a mere 105kb, and DEX algo trading barriers to entry are defeated.

You’re instantly connected and authenticated.

Buy, sell, and cancel orders with seamless connectivity and simple authentication — CEX-style data at your fingertips.

FEATURES

  • prototype_order() generates an order header template.
  • Edicts can include any combination of operations.
  • Automatically scales buy/sell orders to prevent exceeding account budget.
  • Ensure you always have enough funds to cover transaction fees with the last two Bitshares.
  • Uses multiprocessing to handle websockets and manage faulty order timeouts.
  • New edict {'op': login} matches a WIF (Wallet Import Format) to an account name and returns True/False.
  • No dependencies on Pybitshares!

HOW DO I USE THIS TOOL?

An order is structured as a dictionary of:

['edicts', 'header', 'nodes']

See help(bitshares_signing.quickstart) for detailed examples.

OBJECTIVES

  • Use only standard Python objects. ✅
  • Collect necessary Pybitshares objects (copy, paste, cite). ✅
  • Strip unnecessary methods from Pybitshares objects. ✅
  • Reorganize classes and definitions in a logical, chronological order. ✅
  • Enable users to create orders using simple, human-readable terms. ✅
  • Build transactions using Graphene-style terms. ✅
  • Serialize transactions. ✅
  • Validate serialization using get_transaction_hex_without_sig(). ✅
  • Sign transactions with ECDSA. ✅
  • Validate signed transactions. ✅
  • Broadcast transactions to an RPC node. ✅
  • Make the script importable as a module and callable with broker(order). ✅
  • Allow for a list of buy/sell/cancel actions (edicts). ✅
  • Implement cancel-all functionality. ✅
  • Provide extensive line-by-line commentary for clarity. ✅

ONGOING:

  • Make prototype_order take token- and user- names, rather than ids
  • Add Liquidity pool swap/stake/unstake
  • Simplify and condense Pybitshares methods. (Still in progress)
  • Expand and finalize the manualSIGNINGwhitepaper.md. (5200-word rough draft available)
  • Transition from object-oriented (class-based) to procedural (function-based) style. (Planned)

DEPENDENCIES

  • Python 3
  • Linux recommended, other OSes have not been tested
  • ecdsa, secp256k1, and websocket-client. (pip3 install -r requirements.txt to get the right versions)

Note: bitshares_signing has not been tested on python3.10+; for reliable use, use python3.6.9 to python3.9
