RUNNING SETZER BOT

setzer bot expects a config file located at /etc/setzer.conf or passed via --config path/to/config.conf

The bot will run with sensible defaults and only needs three things:

  export ETH_FROM="YOUR ACCOUNT"
  export SETZER_FEED="YOUR PRICE-FEED ADDRESS"
  export SETZER_MEDIANIZER="0x729D19f657BD0614b4985Cf1D82531c67569197B"

There are several extra options but you generally will not modify them.

  #The list of price sources. Execute `setzer price` to get list of valid values!
  export SETZER_SOURCES="LIST OF PRICE SOURCES"
  
  #setzer tries to create a price update transaction with increasing gas price to 
  #make sure it gets mined. Starts from $SETZER_INITIAL_GAS_PRICE with $SETZER_GAS_PRICE_INCREMENT 
  #until $SETZER_MAX_GAS_PRICE. 
 
  #initial gas price in Wei
  export SETZER_INITIAL_GAS_PRICE=`seth --to-wei 1 gwei`
  
  #gas price increment in Wei
  export SETZER_GAS_PRICE_INCREMENT=`seth --to-wei 5 gwei`
  
  #max gas price in Wei
  export SETZER_MAX_GAS_PRICE=`seth --to-wei 26 gwei`
  
  #spread between current price and last update price in percentage
  export SETZER_SPREAD=2

  #Seconds to wait between two price fetches
  export SETZER_INTERVAL_SECONDS=120

  #Seconds to wait for price update transaction to execute on blockchain
  # before retrying with higher gas price
  export SETZER_WAIT_FOR_RESEND=240
  
  #automatically update price if needed
  # if set to 1 price will be auto updated if needed on the blockchain
  # if set to '' (empty) price feed will update only if user enters 'y' 
  export SETZER_AUTO=1
  
  #Time to wait for a node to respond
  #default 15s
  export RPC_TIMEOUT=15s

OPTIONS

You can provide any seth option to commands that send transactions.
For example setzer void <feed> -F <account> --gas=100000 -P 1000000000
