I'm trying to get this to run on my linux box. I'm not normally a noob (been using linux since mid 90s) but I am a Python noob. If this was written in perl or something, no problem. Tongue

First problem was python-crypto wasn't installed. Second problem was python-simplejson wasn't installed.

1807 apt-get install python-crypto
1808 apt-get install python-simplejson

So after that, we have a new problem. (sorry for the spam, but this is how the output came out. I did delete screenfulls of blank lines at least.)

Okay, so lets create user.conf.

:~/goxtool$ touch user.conf :~/goxtool$ ./goxtool.py --strategy=balancer.py enter passphrase for secret: testing secret... testing key... ok :-) Price: 0.000000 - 0.000000 | Market: BTCUSD | Account: No info (yet) sum_bid: 0 USD | sum_ask: 0 BTC | ratio: - USD/BTC | lag: / 0.000 s (order / socket) ### shutdown... *** error(s) in curses_loop() that caused unclean shutdown: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./goxtool.py", line 1592, in curses_loop strategy_manager = StrategyManager(gox, strat_mod_list) File "./goxtool.py", line 1476, in __init__ self.reload() File "./goxtool.py", line 1490, in reload strategy_module = __import__(name) File "/home/leela/goxtool/balancer.py", line 16, in conf = json.load(open("user.conf")) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/simplejson/__init__.py", line 357, in load use_decimal=use_decimal, **kw) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/simplejson/__init__.py", line 413, in loads return _default_decoder.decode(s) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/simplejson/decoder.py", line 402, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end()) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/simplejson/decoder.py", line 420, in raw_decode raise JSONDecodeError("No JSON object could be decoded", s, idx) JSONDecodeError: No JSON object could be decoded: line 1 column 0 (char 0) Traceback (most recent call last): File "./goxtool.py", line 1679, in curses_loop strategy_manager.unload() UnboundLocalError: local variable 'strategy_manager' referenced before assignment Exception in thread Thread-1 (most likely raised during interpreter shutdown): Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 551, in __bootstrap_inner File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 757, in run File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 403, in wait File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 267, in wait : list.remove(x): x not in list Exception in thread Thread-2 (most likely raised during interpreter shutdown): Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 551, in __bootstrap_inner File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 759, in run File "/home/leela/goxtool/goxapi.py", line 431, in _fire File "/home/leela/goxtool/goxapi.py", line 371, in __call__ File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 121, in acquire : 'NoneType' object is not callable :~/goxtool$

Urghh.

The code in balancer.py has:

# Load user.conf conf = json.load(open("user.conf")) # Set defaults conf.setdefault('balancer_simulate', True) conf.setdefault('balancer_distance', 7) conf.setdefault('balancer_fiat_cold', 0) conf.setdefault('balancer_coin_cold', 0) conf.setdefault('balancer_marker', 7) conf.setdefault('balancer_compensate_fees', False) conf.setdefault('balancer_target_margin', 1)

So I assume it would use those as defaults if there's nothing in the conf file...

Anyway, I don't know if I've pulled some new version from git or what because there's no instructions in this thread or the goxtool website about needing this conf file or what to put in it...
