So, is client running as server, providing the same services as a delegate; or can delegates only be run from the GUI?

the delegates should NEVER be run though the GUI ..

the core (bitshares_cli) has the exact same features .. except the fancy gui :)

you cannot connect to the RPC .. maybe I can add a failsafe ...

Yes.. all this needs to be foolproof or we'll only have the core devs trying. I made a noob error not running the client properly. It seems that the GUI and client cannot run on the same machine, I don't understand why that is.. client does reindex where GUI had done that etc. I'm wondering then if I am just publishing feeds and not currently acting as delegate now, without the GUI running in the way that suggests that is delegate or if the client does the same delegate function by default.

They can run on the same machine but not share a data directory.

btw.. this script was mainly intended for me and I wanted to share ..  :) give me some to to fix this

[davidpbrown]

Thanks.. Just to note for Linux Mint, changing default python is a bad idea, as it could break the system.
So, easy fix is alter script to start with #!/usr/bin/env python3
Unfortunately, only that change doesn't see the script work for me.. it barfs:

it's a part of python3 .. do not try to use python2 ..

[davidpbrown]

So, the only way I could see to get this running alongside the GUI was to host a config for the feed.py script separate from the config that the GUI looks to. I'm running https://github.com/Bitsuperlab/operation_tools/tree/master/btsxfeed ok and hoping that is visible and then useful.

I'd like to run xeroc's script to see that but what Linux package provides for Python's 'import statistics'?

[xeroc]

Just pimped the script .. bittrex is available now two .. however only btc to ltc and btsx are available from there

[xeroc]

Cool, I'll give it a try. Why did you comment out Biitrex?

there rpc api is shit and I could finish that part yet ... dont' uncomment it .. it wont work ..

Maybe I can work on it later

I would love to run your feed script and help to provide a level of feed diversity.  Does my delegate need to make it to the top 101 to be able to provide feeds?

yes you need to haven active delegate

[Riverhead]

By the way, in order to increase diversity of updates you may want to check out my feed script:
It was based on alt's script but I essentially modified everything :)

Agree, a solid bitUSD with millions or billions in market cap is more useful than a bunch of smaller assets.
