Logs

This is indeed the BTC-E API not responding or responding slowly.

As long as these errors don't happen constantly, there is no problem as BitBot will automatically retry it's API requests. In your example there is sometimes a minute between errors and by default BitBot fetches data every 10 seconds, meaning that there were a couple of successful requests in between the errors.

it always trying to say that i dont have enough btc..

It is not enough BTC in the account for sale.

my btc in btce is 0.005 BTC..is it not enough?

I currently only go as far as 2 decimals, so that's why you get that error message.
You need at least 0.01 BTC for now, but I'll look into supporting smaller quantities.

[5an1ty]

dem...why you didnt tell me earlier...lol

My apologies, I totally forgot about that limit.

[5an1ty]

v0.9.3 Released!

This update changes the expected structure for your config.js file. Makes sure config.js is structured EXACTLY as config.sample.js

[5an1ty]

Any feature requests you guys have in mind? I'm thinking about creating a small web interface for the bot.

I also get "It is not enough BTC in the account for sale."

0.22 available in my btc-e account

Can you PM me some more detailed logs. 0.22 should be sufficient to trade so I wonder what's going on.

I don't know this bot, but maybe it want's to sell x percent and x percent of 0.22 btc is less than the minimum trade amount? At least that was one of the problems of my bots.

That is configurable, you can set that if you want, but I don't think that's the problem. I changed a couple of things around in the exchange wrapper code in the latest commit, I hope this solves a couple of problems that users might be experiencing.

But keep in mind a lot of exchanges have a minimum order size configured... 0.22 BTC shouldn't be a problem, but amounts as small as 0.05 BTC might be.

Do you have any problem with mongo in mac?

I have never encountered that before, are you sure the MongoDB service is still running and that it doesn't crash?
I don't believe this is an issue with the bot, but more likely an issue with your MongoDB setup.

How did you install MongoDB on OSX? Via Homebrew?
Is the machine permanently on or would it try to hibernate or shut down disk after a period of inactivity?

Hello Mr 5an1ty.

First of all, to wish you all the best for 2015.

My questions are :

I've set up and configured everything, I mean mongodb and the config file.

When I start the bot, I stay stucked on the following

[31-12-2014 12:36:06] - INFO: ------------------------------------------
[31-12-2014 12:36:06] - INFO: Starting BitBot v0.9.4

[31-12-2014 12:36:06] - INFO: Downloader started!

It doesn't connect to the database.
I checked the db connection using dbhealth and regardless to the errors due to an empty db, I can see the connection with the db monitor.

Any ideas or hints ?

Otherwise, do you have plans to implement cryptsy or should I try to integrate it by myself ?

Anyway, thanks in advance for your answers.

That's strange, can you PM me your configuration settings? Don't forget to mark out any sensitive information like for example API keys.

why did you choose javascript and runs on Node.JS.?

btw, this is a really nice project, gonna look into it

Thanks, I'm always glad to see that someone appreciates my work.

Well I was interested in automated trading, but when I saw the available options (paid and free) I found them all lackluster.
When I started working on BitBot I didn't have a lot of coding experience and I saw this as an opportunity to start learning.

As for my choice of Node.JS: I was already familiar with JS and I really like the way it writes. Oh and I love the package manager: NPM

[flipme]

I'd like to test it on Cryptsy's.
Any schedule for that?

[ikydesu]

Nice project and you still active . good
I will try it soon.

[5an1ty]

Working on lots of stuff right now (web interface is in the works :-)), I'll look into adding Cryptsy as soon as I get the rest done.

[5an1ty]

 v0.9.7 Trading disabled mode now simulates trades
- All remaining BTC-E bugs should be fixed
- When running with trading disabled, BitBot will generate fake trades and manage a fake balance.

Can someone that is using BTC-E please try BitBot and let me know if there are still issues with the API calls?

[Crypt3x]

Hi 5an1ty,

I have tried to get your bot running on Win7x86, but node.js and the mongo is a bi..h in Windows environment - so I finally give up with Bills crap System... 

I have a technical background but on Linux, Software Development and coding I have to learn a lot.

Now I want to give it a try on a Raspberry PI with Raspbian as OS. I have ordered the brand new Raspberry Pi 2 Model B (900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU, 1GB RAM).

Is this possible and can you give me some tips to run your bot on the RPI with Raspbian (especially for the MongoDB)?.
