I Dunno... but I made a GitHub Repo

4 days ago

A few days ago, I shared a post about building a trading bot for PeakeCoin. It was raw, real, and to the point: I was trying to automate SWAP.BNB trades using the beem Python library, and running into key verification issues, I just couldn’t solve.

🔗 Original blog: I Asked for Help. I Got Silence. So I Started Building Anyway.

And something cool happened.

@millhouze told me to create a GitHub to work on it together. Maybe get some help debugging it, or even contribute directly. And that made sense. It’s one thing to talk about a problem—another to show it.

So I did just that:
🔗 GitHub Repo: peakecoin_bnb_bot

Do I Know What I’m Doing with GitHub? Not Yet.

I’ll be honest—I don’t really know how to use GitHub. Not fully. I understand the basics: uploading files, committing changes, and sharing code.

But there’s a lot I don’t know:

How to write a proper README.md
How to create or respond to Issues
How others contribute to my code or suggest changes
How to keep everything synced when I'm editing locally vs online

Still, I created the repo. I’m figuring it out as I go.

Why I’m Sharing This

Because someone else out there is probably in the same spot.

You’re building something cool. It’s half-working, half-broken. You’re not a Git wizard. But you want help, or maybe just someone to say, “Hey, good work so far.”

That’s what I’m doing now. I’ve put the bot on GitHub, even if it’s messy. I’m opening myself up to feedback, to learning, and hopefully to building something that works, not just for me, but for others who believe in projects like PeakeCoin too.

If You Know GitHub—and Want to Help

I’m all ears.

Feel free to:

Suggest improvements
Open an issue if you spot something
Teach me how to make the repo more useful
Or just let me know you're watching it grow

Because that’s what this space is really about—building in public, and not being afraid to do it while learning.

Let’s figure it out together.
And thanks to anyone who takes a minute to help a builder like me keep going.

Appreciate all the upvotes from @neoxian @enginewitty, and others I can't think of.

Nice! Thanks for getting this thing started; I've done some tinkering with a market trading bot before but not near as cool as what this would be. I'm looking forward to hashing it out x]

I'm kinda old to be learning to code. So I'm schooling myself and using all the resources I can to do this expeditiously. Beem is kind of where I'm stuck. I can't get the key verification, plus my servers crashed. Which set me back from what I had saved. It's a heartbreaker. I'm working on an auto FTP code to constantly save it from here on out.

Great move! What exactly was the issue with beem key verification? Were you getting any specific error?

The key error is likely that it's wanting to use the active key for the actual transaction but you only have the posting wif loaded. I haven't looked at the code, but if you have it loaded from the wallet, add both keys to the wallet, if you care calling it this way: Hive(keys=[posting_key]) you should do it Hive(keys=[posting_key, active_key])

Also, the beem library is dated, which is why I have taken upon myself to update it and get it caught up with the times under a rebrand. If you would like to use my current iteration, it's listed as hive-nectar and is mostly 1:1 compatible with beem, just from nectar.hive import Hive etc instead of beem. Feel free to reach out if you would like.

I'm going to try using both keys to verify it's not what I've done. I will look into Hive-Nectar, I'm a rookie so I'm trying to establish this. I'll check it out later this evening or tomorrow after work.
