Airgapped mode #40

Open nasaWelder opened 6 years ago

Probably overkill, and not useful enough.... The bot could be run on air gapped computer, with requests via two way QR code "router". See: lunlumo

Eventually, Merkato will have a Bisq interface. Since Bisq requires private keys to function, airgapping something there might actually have some utility.

livinginformation commented 6 years ago

Airgapping necessitates a user-initiated step, which defeats most of the purpose of an automated bot.

If we want to be able to place bisq orders from a cold wallet (like lunlumo), and have the user check in every [interval] to perform signatures, this might be an avenue worth exploring.

If cameras and sleep settings were configured properly, I don't think user interaction would be necessary. Since the bot is on cold computer, itv could still auto sign. Now it could be fed BS market data, but I don't think a market maker bot could be tricked that much.
