Stacking Sats on Kraken
First off: Here's to you, Bittr – you will be missed! 😢
This script is not a full replacement for the incredible service Bittr offered, but it's a start: Automate your Stacking Sats process by regularly placing buy orders using the Kraken API.
✋ Caveat
You need to install the dependency kraken-api, which is a third-party package. It has a minimal set of dependencies and I've done my best to audit its code. Also the version is fixed, so that unwanted changes do not slip in.
However: Use this at your own risk and decide for yourself whether or not you want to run this script and its dependencies!
📦 Setup
Prerequisite: At least the current LTS version of Node.js.
Install the dependencies:
npm install
Setup the environment variables for the script:
export KRAKEN_API_KEY="apiKeyFromTheKrakenSettings"
export KRAKEN_API_SECRET="privateKeyFromTheKrakenSettings"
export KRAKEN_API_FIAT="USD" # the governmental shitcoin you are selling
export KRAKEN_BUY_AMOUNT=21 # fiat amount you trade for the future of money
Use a dry run to test the script and see the output without placing an order:
npm test
You should see something like this sample output:
💰 Balance: 210000.00 USD / 21.0 XBT
📈 Ask: 21000.2 USD
📉 Bid: 21000.1 USD
🧾 Order: 0.21212121 XBT at 21000.1 USD
💸 Placed order: buy 0.21212121 XBTUSD @ limit 21000.1 / TXID: 2121212121
🤑 Stack sats
When you are good to go, execute this command in a regular interval:
npm run stack-sats
Now go wild and triggeer it via a weekly or even daily cron job.
