Installation

• Prebuilt package: See release assets
• Docker image: See the latest tag on Docker Hub
• Build from the source (Go 1.15 or newer):

git clone https://github.com/textileio/bidbot.git
cd bidbot
make install

Getting Started

1. bidbot init
2. The output will ask you to sign a token with the owner address of your miner.
3. Configure your ask price, other bid settings, and auction filters. See bidbot help daemon for details. You can edit the configuration file generated by bidbot init or use the equivalent flag for any given option.
4. Use the signature you generated above to start the daemon: bidbot daemon --miner-addr [address] --wallet-addr-sig [signature]
5. Good luck! Your bidbot will automatically bid in open deal auctions. If it wins an auction, the broker will automatically start making a deal with the Lotus wallet address used in step 1.
