Description
This Draft PR contains two python scripts that handle two different needs.
fee-estimate.py
updates the miner toml valuesatoshis_per_byte
with the current estimate averaged between multiple fee estimation APIs.stacks-block-delay-event-trigger.py
runs a specified binary when the stacks block is created too long after a bitcoin block../contrib/side-cars/config/
for both scripts/Applicable issues
Additional info (benefits, drawbacks, caveats)
The user will need to install python and a few dependencies when they run for the first time, but that will be very easy to detect as the scripts will error out immediately with a helpful message.
This script is operating system agnostic assuming there is a reasonable python implementation on said system.
