Supybot Bitcoin Market Monitor

A webapp and set of plugins for supybot that power a rich alternative currency monitoring and trading system over a chat network.

Development Environment Setup

1. Install GnuPG.

2. Create a Python environment or virtualenv and activate it.

3. In that environment:

    pip install ecdsa # For the GPG plugin
    pip install lxml # For the GPGExt plugin
   

4. Download gribble source code:

    git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/gribble/code gribble-code
   

5. Install it in your Python environment:

    cd gribble-code
    python setup.py install
   

6. Create a directory to be the bot's home and cd to it.

7. Run supybot-wizard to create the bot's directory structure and initial configuration.

• Some plugins expect the bot to be present in #bitcoin-otc, #bitcoin-otc-auth, and #bitcoin-otc-ticker

8. Symlink or copy desired supybot-bitcoin-marketmonitor's directories over to the bot's new plugins directory.

9. Launch the bot:

    supybot gribble.conf  # Or whatever you've named its configuration file
   

10. On IRC, identify with the bot using the owner login name and password you set up during supybot-wizard.

11. On IRC, use supybot's load command to load desired plugins.

• OTCWebsite is not a plugin, so don't worry about that one.
