[Tapin] Python-based BitShares Faucet Released
It's my pleasure to publish the first python-based faucet for BitShares.
It is API-compatible to the existing faucet and should play nicely with the wallet. All you need to do is deploy one at a (sub-)domain you control and redirect the wallet's faucet to that address.
Configuration
There is config-example.py that shows what has to go where as well as a config.py that is an example that works nicely with environmental variables together with heroku.
Deployment
It's uses a temporary SQLite database to store account names and prevent abuse. This database is created on the first query and nothing needs to be done extra. If you want to use a different SQL database you need to modify it in __init__.py.
Easy deployment is available through a heroku deploy button. It will ask you for all required data and automatically run and host it for you depending on the plan you are using.
Development
Currently, tapin is still very basic and I am looking for people that want to help improve it beyond what is here already. Help is welcome. If you need something very specify, drop me a line and we can find a way to get what you need.
Funding
Tapin was funded via the BitShares Python Worker is licensed under MIT and free to use for anything! That said, you don't need to upvote this post just to get this funded.
Thank you !
Hi Fabian.
And thanks for the tapin thing. It's just great to start a new graphene chain with.
But what if I get my graphene chain up and running, and even get new users on it with help of taping faucet - what next should I do if I want to add value for my CORE asset (name is just sample)? How can I make a deposit with, say, BTC to my new chain? Can I read something on making a gateway/brige? Any posts on the topic by You or by some other smart guys?
Thanks!
