Payout script in python

System preparation:

sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt install python3-dev
sudo apt install python3-pip
sudo apt install python3-testresources
pip install pywaves

You must allow your node REST API at least for localhost:

  # Node's REST API settings
  rest-api {
    # Enable/disable node's REST API
    enable = yes

    # Network address to bind to
    bind-address = "127.0.0.1"

Edit the script - insert your node private key and your beneficiary address (where the 5% of rewards will be sent)

Test the script:

python3 payment.py

Now, edit the crontab to run this script periodically:

crontab -e

Add this line to execute payout script twice a day at 01:00 and 13:00 (choose your own times), also correct the paths:

0 1,13 * * * python3 /home/your_dir/payment.py >> /home/your_dir/payment.log 2>&1

Node monitoring scripts in python

Method 1 made by DmitryWebsmith

System preparation:

pip install pyTelegramBotAPI

You must allow your node REST API at least for localhost. Script height.py determines height of the blocks and send it via ftp to your webhost. Edit the script - insert your hostname, user and password (line 11 of the height.py). Test the script:

python3 height.py

Check existance of height.txt in the same dir as height.py and http://hostname/height.txt wth the latest blocks height. Add this line to execute payout script every minute, also correct the paths:

*/1 * * * * python3 /home/your_dir/fork_monitoring/method-1/height.py >> /home/your_dir/fork_monitoring/method-1/height.log 2>&1

Script telegram_bot.py checks once per minute http://hostname/height.txt and compares blocks height of your Node with reference height. You'll get alert in case |reference height - node height| >= 3 . This script should not be run on the same vps where your node runs. Edit the script telegram_bot.py - insert height_url (http://hostname/height.txt) and token (find in Telegram @BotFather and use command /newbot) Test the script:

python3 telegram_bot.py

Method 2 made by Plukkieforger

Forktester can be used to manage if your node is on fork. It uses controlnodes which are used to compare block headers between your node and the control nodes. Forktester requests 5 blocks (counting from lastblock-2) and compares these blocks between your node and the controlnodes defined in the forkconfig.json file (key "controlnodes" : { ... }) Forktester integrates alerting via Telegram. If problems are found (like a fork), alerting is send to your telegram account. Rollback can be activated also via forktester. This can be done manually or automatically (option "auto_rollback" : "yes").

WARNING Use config option "auto_rollback" : "yes" (default "no") with precaution! Alerting that a fork happened, can be a false positive. It's better to first use forktester for some time without the automatic rollback function turned to "yes" and do some manual investigation if an alert is send about a possible fork. If you concluded that a fork indeed happened on your node, there is a forkfile created with the name "forked.". If you start forktester and a forkfile is found it reports on the action you can do to execute rollback or to remove the forkfile if it is a false positive.

EDIT settings in the configuration file 'forkconfig.json'.

The default file looks like this;

{
	"thenode" : {
    "node_api" : "",
		"node_apikey" : "",
		"nodename" : ""
	},
	"forktoolsconfig" : {
	  "controlnodes" : {"http://#####:6869" : "up",
      "http://#####:6869" : "up",
      "http://#####:6869" : "up",
      "http://#####:6869" : "up",
      "http://#####:6869" : "up"},
		"auto_rollback" : "no",
		"lastblockheight" : "/blocks/height",
		"blockheaders" : "/blocks/headers/at/",
		"rollback_blocks" : "2000"
	},
	"telegramconfig" : {
		"use" : "no",
		"telegram_api" : "https://api.telegram.org/bot",
		"telegram_token" : "",
		"telegram_chat_id" : "",
		"telegram_group" : "",
		"telegram_botuser" : ""
	}
}

Node (This part is for thenode)

- "node_api"
   This is the node (name or ip address) and tcp port of the API server where you run your queries to.
- "node_apikey"
  The API password of your node. Put it as PLAINTEXT in the forkconfig.json file!
NOTE
  This is the same password you need to use in the config file of your Waves node,
   but needs to be coded as base58 string in the node config file.
   - "nodename"
   This is a textual name identifying your node.
WARNING
  keep it safe and confidential to you.
      For security reasons, remove 'rwx' worldrights from forkconfig.json : chmod o-rwx forkconfig.json

forktoolsconfig (This part is for the forktesting tool)

- "controlnodes" (list)
  List of controlnodes used by forktester.py. Status should be up or down.
  Down nodes will not be used. Example: { "http://anode.blockchain.net:6869" : "up",
            "http://10.20.30.40:80" : "up" },
- "auto_rollback" (yes/no)
  This defines if your node automatically executes a rollback if it detects fork.
  Becarefull! Forktester can send alerts of a forked is detected and you have more
  control to rollback manually. Forks do normally not happen often. Default "no".

telegramconfig (This part has all the telegram details)

- "use" (yes/no)
 Activate telegram usage if alerts are raised by tools.
- All other JSON keys for telegram
 Create an account on telegram and fill out all details in forkconfig.json

How to create Telegram bot

https://core.telegram.org/bots

To get your ID or group - https://t.me/myidbot

Test the script

python3 forktester.py

Now, edit the crontab to run this script periodically:

crontab -e

Add this line to execute the forktester will check every 10 mins if a fork happended, (choose your own times - https://crontab.guru/), also correct the paths:

*/10 * * * * python3 /home/your_dir/fork-monitoring/method-2/forktester.py

Many thanks to original version of forktester Plukkieforger!

Install a RIDE script to mining node and invoke the constructor

As you know, since node version 1.4 it is possible for mining node to have a script.

System preparation:

sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt install python3-dev
sudo apt install python3-pip
sudo apt install python3-testresources
pip install pywaves

Either allow your node REST API for localhost:

  # Node's REST API settings
  rest-api {
    # Enable/disable node's REST API
    enable = yes

    # Network address to bind to
    bind-address = "127.0.0.1"

or change node url in the python script to any public node, e.g.

pw.setNode('https://nodes.wavesnodes.com', chain='mainnet')

Edit the script - insert your node private key and your beneficiary address (where the 5% of rewards will be sent). Run the script.

NOTES:

• source file in RIDE is passed via pipe
• there is 30 sec delay between setting the script and calling the constructor, make sure there are no errors
