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
