Coin address

[coulterj]

In the instructions it says we need to copy the files over and edit them to our preferences. I don't see where to edit the coin address like there were on previous releases. Is the option still '--btc-addr' ?

[coulterj]

Can you give an example on what to put in the --coins option? I am trying to figure out how to give BTC/ETH an 80/20 weight and give the withdrawal addresses. It seems that maybe it is missing from the instructions.

Currently there is no option to adjust the weights; the script weights coins by market cap.

Ok, can you give an example on how to use the --cons option?

For example if I use something like: -- coins BTC 3bitcoinaddressxxxxx

I receive an error

There's an option in the README here: https://github.com/brndnmtthws/optimal-buy-gdax#configuration (toward the bottom). It needs to be properly formatted JSON.

example:

optimal-buy-gdax --coins='{"BTC":{"name":"Bitcoin","withdrawal_address":"bc1qc7slnotarealbech32address","external_balance":1000}}'

Thanks! I will try it out when I get home from work in a few hours.

Ok, it seems to work with just one coin. When I add Eth, it is throwing an error. Any idea what is wrong with my string?

--coins='{"BTC":{"name":"Bitcoin","withdrawal_address":"BitcoinAddress","external_balance":0}},{"ETH":{"name":"Ethereum","withdrawal_address":EtherAddress,"external_balance":0}}'

[brndnmtthws]

Perhaps you're missing quotes around the ETH address?

[coulterj]

Updated the string to include quotes and now with this string --coins='{"BTC":{"name":"Bitcoin","withdrawal_address":"BitcoinAddress","external_balance":0}},{"ETH":{"name":"Ethereum","withdrawal_address":"EtherAddress","external_balance":0}}'

I get the following error

You're missing an opening {. Use a JSON validator to verify your config. Here's one: https://jsonlint.com/

Thanks for the help, I think I have it working now and will see after my next deposit. This is what worked for me.

--coins='{"BTC":{"name":"Bitcoin","withdrawal_address":"BitcoinAddress","external_balance":0}, "ETH":{"name":"Ethereum","withdrawal_address":"EtherAddress","external_balance":0}}'
