ggetBalance error:

Poloniex API is down! unable to call getBalance, retrying in 10s

While making its 1st purchase on poloniex.BCN-BTC

someone fix it here https://github.com/rferro/plnx/issues/2 but i cant implement it

no rly bug, only api down

Poloniex API is down! unable to call getBalance, retrying in 10s

Poloniex API is down! unable to call getBalance, retrying in 10s

[crack00r]

and again returnOpenOrders odd result: { error: 'Nonce must be greater than 149756185095800. You provided 149756185068600.' }

[nao0811ta]

Api down is not bug. Maybe the reason is your request is frequent. My code is for avoiding noce error from requesting multiple api at the same time.

[nao0811ta]

My code is not occured since few days before.

[crack00r]

http://prntscr.com/fk9qzp

[crack00r]

http://prntscr.com/fk9s4o

[crack00r]

and it didnt cancel the orders http://prntscr.com/fk9slg

so right now, but is useless

[jjngpuri]

Are you play with the date of you pc? I do a few days ago and make the bot crazy with nonce error! The solution was make a new poloniex key.

[crack00r]

works, i set my server time 2min. above the real time... no Nonce must be greater than anymore but still Poloniex API is down! unable to call getBalance, retrying in 10s is there any way to add 2 ore more apikeys?

http://prntscr.com/fke1ch

[tuxitor]

@crack00r It is really no help in advancing your computers time. the only factor the exchange care about is that the nonce has a higher value than the previous one. The most important factor is to have a stable clock. You can achieve that by using NTP, but that might not help if you have an unstable computer.

Other reasons:

• the nonce generator that resides in the exchange API may have bug or bad implementation
• due to the asyncronous nature of a node program, an old nonce can slip through
• a bug in the exchange software

[jjngpuri]

due to the asyncronous nature of a node program, an old nonce can slip through

I made some test... that is the problem... the program make 2 even 3 calls to poloniex whitout wait for the first to be resolved.

[ghost]

Fixed by adding --lock and installing NTP on centos and set to sync every minute with --period=1m But this does not fix my nonce issue!!!!!

THE EDIT in exchange.js:

  var orders = {}
  var lock = false
  var exchange = {
    name: 'poloniex',
    historyScan: 'backward',
    makerFee: 0.15,
    takerFee: 0.25,

    getProducts: function () {
      return require('./products.json')
    },

    getTrades: function (opts, cb) {
//console.error('getTrades')
      var func_args = [].slice.call(arguments)
if (lock) {
//  console.log('locked from getTrades')
  return retry('getTrades', func_args)
}
//console.log('getTrades')
lock = true
      var client = publicClient()
      var args = {
        currencyPair: joinProduct(opts.product_id)
      }
      if (opts.from) {
        args.start = opts.from
      }
      if (opts.to) {
        args.end = opts.to
      }
      if (args.start && !args.end) {
        // add 2 hours
        args.end = args.start + 7200
      }
      else if (args.end && !args.start) {
        // subtract 2 hours
        args.start = args.end - 7200
      }

      client._public('returnTradeHistory', args, function (err, body) {
lock = false

[ghost]

You also need to do this instead of running docker, use separate configs for each instance for different coins and API keys. I run 5.

 ./zenbot.sh trade --conf=/zenbot0/conf0.js --period=1m --buy_pct=100 --sell_pct=100 --lock
 ./zenbot.sh trade --conf=/zenbot0/conf1.js --period=1m --buy_pct=100 --sell_pct=100 --lock
 ./zenbot.sh trade --conf=/zenbot0/conf2.js --period=1m --buy_pct=100 --sell_pct=100 --lock
 ./zenbot.sh trade --conf=/zenbot0/conf3.js --period=1m --buy_pct=100 --sell_pct=100 --lock
 ./zenbot.sh trade --conf=/zenbot0/conf4.js --period=1m --buy_pct=100 --sell_pct=100 --lock

But this is still giving the getbalance nonce error? Adjusting the time correctly using ntp seems to help.
Also setting period to 3m seems to help even more.

I guess poloniex has some type of IP-based flood protection.

I have no idea.. Still getting the nonce issue. But atleast now it's only the nonce issue.

UPDATE: 
I read somewhere that nonce is a generated with time, and for some reason poloniex takes 30 seconds to s send market data so I set my clock 30 seconds ahead about and did get some better results.

Had following problem with kraken:

Kraken API warning - unable to call trade (Error: Kraken API returned error: API:Invalid nonce), retrying in 0.15s

Increased the nonce window at Kraken API key settings to 360. No problems right now. I think the request takes to long to process and run into this timeout.

With Kraken - check status page https://status.kraken.com/ 👎

Update: It's no as often as before but still there. Very often if connection to Kraken had a problem Kraken API warning - unable to call getTrades (Connection between Cloudflare CDN and api.kraken.com failed), retrying in 0.15s Kraken API warning - unable to call trade (Error: Kraken API returned error: API:Invalid nonce), retrying in 0.15s

[DeviaVir]

Looks like a Kraken issue, closing this side of the equation.
