i am looking for a script to automated transfer x assets to x accounts with x memo

something to get via a .txt file would be good. Did someone has something like this?

so in the .txt will be something like "shentist;100 BTS; welcome" and this for x accounts.

Check - - help. There's a command line option to read commands from a file.   I've never used it so I have no idea if it will work or not. It may be possible to open the wallet and make transfers from a text file.

@jcalfee .. What do I need to do to let the web_wallet interface with the RPC of the BitShares client .. where do I have to put the rpc_user and password? Can't find it

Please PM me if your still interested.

Sorry if this has been covered, it has been a few days since I read all of this.  I just want to make sure this was brought up...

So my understanding is that a bitAsset holder can call a settlement at X% Y days in advanced.  That settlement executes at the price feed on expiration...Can this request be canceled?

My concern is that there should a only a short period of time where the settlement request can be canceled.  The main purpose is to avoid a lot of canceling in the last minutes when the price feed happens to be skewed in the undesired direction.  Given a known predictable settlement queue, shorts can plan better and decide what to do with there collateral or position.

We did say I would have some market features before I pack up and move (through the weekend).  So, here it is: https://wallet.bitshares.org/pre_release  ... This is for testers only, but all transactions are real and permanent!  It is definitely a pre-release.  I'm sure there will be plenty for me to do next week to ready it for a real release.

So, you may try out small market orders in the Buy Sell tabs.  Be cautious that you can cancel the orders at will, that is a different kind of transaction on the back-end.  Consider that an order can be partially filled and that will effect the data in the request to cancel the order....

In my testing I see this: GUI updates are a bit slow and in a UIA trade did not consistently update.  On my testnet, a very small buy order did not cancel due to "insufficient fees" ..  This may be related to a light wallet fee calculation, perhaps rounding. 

Transfers are to be questioned as well, I moved from regular JavaScript ints to a Long objects on all transactions to achieve higher precision. 

With all that said: I can buy and sell market and user-issued assets.  Also, I am able to transfer/receive all types of assets as it worked before.

Speechless!  If we have helped you with your JavaScript feel free to publish some code so we can review and align our efforts!!!

The danger is that if the BTS price goes down again you'll have to take severe losses when covering.

What about the danger that, even if BTS stays the same, at expiration, there are still bids above the feed price, and no asks nearby? When covering, a shortage of liquidity makes it difficult to cover. If there's any bid above price feed, you can't cover your own short (correct?). So you could be forced to buy back at an absurdly high price, to cover the short.

Am I missing something?

Let me summarize: due to high demand for BitAsset, and insufficient order book supply, when a short needs to cover, it has to severely overpay (vs feed price) to obtain the asset.

Only short what you can cover.

Are there plans in progress to incorporate automated functions into the Bitshares wallet? E.g. It would be great to be able to set a stop loss, auto buy at x etc etc. At the moment this is only doable through writing my own scripts and RPCing.

I guess the challenge with this is that the wallet would need to always be running. Perhaps this should be a feature for the web wallet? The hosted server could execute the requests or at least issue alerts to the user if they don't want to trust them signing keys on their behalf. Has there been any discussion into this already?

Probably better for functions like that to run on-chain.  So you don't need the wallet online and you don't need to trust anyone with your private key as long as you trust the programming on all the block producers..

That just means that we may focus our main development in that direction.  However, I think your scripts are a good skill to have.  You'll be able to use this immediately for one.  Also, I bet you will always find a case for running something off chain.  There are many reasons, performance, less fees, access to more resources and longer running time, etc..   Also, keep in mind, the hosted wallet on a server today but that can be misleading.  It is a regular program that runs just like any other program.  NodeJs is a good way to run the code.  So, a JavaScripts can run off-chain as a desktop or server process, a plugin while the browser is open, or just a simple browser tab that was intentionally left open..  It may be reasonable to have an advanced place like the console where users can run scripts like this.  After all, you can probably do this now by opening the hosted wallet then adding your own scripts to it..
