specter-warden 0.6.0.6

Private Portfolio Tool - Specter Server Edition

Welcome to WARden implementation for Specter Server

This is a light weight version of the original WARden designed for integration with Specter Server.

Transactions will be imported automatically from Specter.

This app was built with a couple of goals:

• Easily track portfolio values in fiat (private requests through Tor)
• Monitor Wallets and Addresses for activity using your own node and notify user.
• Track your full node status

warden (wɔːʳdən ) A warden is responsible for making sure that the laws or regulations are obeyed.

Installation

Please note that the WARden needs to be installed at the same machine running Specter Server.

Installation instructions for Specter can be found here.

Log in to your computer running Specter, open Terminal and type:

pip3 install alphazeta.warden

You may need to allow port 25442 (this is the port WARden uses to connect):

sudo ufw allow 25442

Then run the WARden server:

python3 -m warden

Open your browser and navigate to: http://localhost:25442/

Upgrade

From the WARden directory, type:

 pip3 install alphazeta.warden --upgrade

This is an Open Source project

We believe Open Source is the future of development for bitcoin. There is no other way when transparency and privacy are critical.

The code is not compiled and it can be easily audited.

Sats for Features

As interest for the app grows and if the community contributes, new features will be added like: . Import of other transactions . Editing of transactions . Enhanced statistics - volatility, compare performance, heatmaps, ... . Specter implementation without MyNode . Email notifications . And suggested improvements

But the app is also open source so anyone can contribute. Anyone looking to contribute / get a bounty is welcome.

Privacy

Most portfolio tracking tools ask for personal information and may track your IP and other information. Our experience is that even those who say they don't, may have log files at their systems that do track your IP and could be easily linked to your data.

Why NAV is important?

NAV is particularly important to anyone #stackingsats since it tracks performance relative to current capital allocated. For example, a portfolio going from $100 to $200 may seem like it 2x but the performance really depends if any new capital was invested or divested during this period. NAV adjusts for cash inflows and outflows.

NAV Tracking

NAV tracks performance based on amount of capital allocated. For example, a portfolio starts at $100.00 on day 0. On day 1, there is a capital inflow of an additional $50.00. Now, if on day 2, the Portfolio value is $200, it's easy to conclude that there's a $50.00 profit. But in terms of % appreciation, there are different ways to calculate performance. CB Calculates a daily NAV (starting at 100 on day zero). In this example:

Day	Portfolio Value*	Cash Flow	NAV	Performance
0	$0.00	+ $100.00	100	--
1	$110.00	+ $50.00	110	+10.00% (1)
2	$200.00	None	125	+25.00% (2)

• Portfolio Market Value at beginning of day (1) 10% = 110 / 100 - 1 (2) 25% = 200 / (110 + 50) - 1

Tracking NAV is particularly helpful when #stackingsats. It calculates performance based on capital invested at any given time. A portfolio starting at $100 and ending at $200 at a given time frame, at first sight, may seem like is +100% but that depends entirely on amount of capital invested along that time frame.
