The trade simulation scripts check that bitcoind, seed node,
arbitration node, and bob & alice nodes are running at startup,
but the bash pgrep command used to find the PIDs does not work on
OSX (my darwin20), so an adjustment was made to the env script to
find java PIDs with ps and awk if running on OSX.
Two additonal startup checks were added: make sure the script is
running on supported OS (Linux or OSX), and bitcoin-cli is in
the PATH.
Also removed usage error text about registering dispute agents.
The scripts do that now.
Two regtest trading simulation scripts are contained in this change:
- trade-simulation.sh goes through the steps of creating F2F payment
accounts for Bob & Alice, and each step of a trade from createoffer to
completion.
- limit-order-simulation.sh shows one way to trigger creation of an offer
when a limit price is reached.
Each script prints CLI commands just before they are run.
Both scripts depend on functions contained in supporting bash and python3
scripts.
Examples:
trade-simulation.sh
Simulate the entire trade protocol between Bob (taker) & Alice (maker),
where Alice buys 0.1 BTC from Bob, paying in Renminbi (CYN).
Note the script takes a country code (CN) not a currency code, so the
script can create the appropriate country based face to face payment accounts.
$ apitest/scripts/trade-simulation.sh -d buy -c cn -m 0.0 -a 0.1
limit-order.sh
Create a CAD/BUY 0.1 BTC order at mkt price margin of 0.0% if price falls to
or below 47900 CAD.
Note the script takes a country code (CA) not a currency code, so the script
can create the appropriate country based face to face payment accounts.
$ apitest/scripts/limit-order-simulation.sh -l 47900 -d buy -c CA -m 0.0 -a 0.1
Create a USD/SELL 0.1 BTC order at mkt price margin of 0.0% if price rises to
or above 37200 USD.
$ apitest/scripts/limit-order-simulation.sh -l 37200 -d sell -c US -m 0.0 -a 0.1
