Poloniex Lending Bot is a bot that works with Poloniex.com and try to lend your money at the best rate on that platform.

Let go an setup on Ubuntu (i was working on Xubuntu 16.04)

Follow this steps and go to sleep calm :D

• Install Python, pip y numpy (scipy)
• Download the bot
• SetUp the BOT
• Go to Sleep

Letś prepare our machine

1.- The first step is install Python, this Bot works with Python 2.7, but in some cases (like mine) i run other bots that works with Python3. Just must type the following command

sudo apt-get install python python-pip
sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall
sudo apt-get install libreadline-gplv2-dev libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libbz2-dev
sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev gfortran
sudo pip install scipy
sudo pip install matplotlib

Make sure to install ALL those libreries

2.- Download the BOT

The bot can be downloaded from:

https://github.com/BitBotFactory/poloniexlendingbot

In our PC/server/VPS we will download by console

wget https://github.com/BitBotFactory/poloniexlendingbot/archive/master.zip

Uncompress the zip file

unzip master.zip

If you don't have zip program installed do it with

sudo apt-get install unzip
sudo apt-get install zip

After uncompress go to the folder of our bot

cd poloniexlendingbot-master/

Copy the file default.cfg.example with:

cp default.cfg.example default.cfg

Edit with nano

nano default.cfg

Edit just the following info

[API]
apikey = YourAPIKey
secret = YourSecret

mindailyrate = 0.005

jsonfile = www/botlog.json
