⁠Bankless ETH Buying Bot

This bot is designed to buy ETH on Coinbase Pro every time one of the following Twitter accounts calls ETH "Ultra Sound Money" (Note: I will update the documentation and docker container whenever the meme changes)

1. Bankless⁠
2. Ryan Sean Adams⁠
3. David Hoffman⁠

Bot rules:

1. The bot will place a market order for $50USD of $ETH every time one of the above Twitter accounts references the case-insensitive phrase "ultra sound money".
2. The bot will take profit at 10% via sell limit order
3. No orders will be placed if an existing buy/sell order is open on $ETH
4. The bot will not transfer money in to Coinbase so if there is not enough money available the bot will not trade.

⁠Inspiration

The initial inspiration for this bot came from the Bankless community's massive faith in Ethereum and my desire to practice some Python

⁠Running The Bot

To run the bot you will need Docker and docker-compose installed on your computer.

docker-compose up -d

⁠Config File

You will need the following credentials:

1. Twitter developer account credentials (Used by the Tweepy API)
2. Coinbase Pro credentials tied to the portfolio you want to run the bot against

These credentials should be in a configuration file named credentials.json and placed in ./config. Additionally, you can override the volume mount to a new path if you prefer. The file should look like this:

{
  "twitter": {
    "consumer_key": "YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY",
    "consumer_secret": "YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET",
    "access_key": "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY",
    "access_secret": "YOUR_ACCESS_SECRET"
  },
  "coinbase": {
    "api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "api_secret": "YOUR_API_SECRET",
    "passphrase": "YOUR_API_PASSPHRASE"
  }
}

⁠Override Parameters

You can override a few parameters by changing the Docker CMD. The included docker-compose.yml⁠ file has an example that overrides the trigger phrase, price, and crypto currency used.

An example of doing this outside of Docker:

python SourceCode/bankless-bot.py -c /path/to/credentionals.json -t "Tesla now accepts bitcoin", --price 150.00 --currency BTC

⁠Logs

The bot will log activity to stdout, so you can review it with docker logs

⁠Donations

Any and all donations are greatly appreciated.
I have GitHub Sponsors configured however I happily prefer cryptocurrency:

ETH/ERC20s: ahrenstein.eth (0x288f3d3df1c719176f0f6e5549c2a3928d27d1c1)
BTC: 3HrVPPwTmPG8LKBt84jbQrVjeqDbM1KyEb
