Braindrain Friday: The HBD Savings Script

Hey everyone,

I have to go shopping today, so this is a bit of a "Braindrain Friday" post. I'm sharing a simple but useful script that I've had for a while but realized I hadn't posted about yet. When you put out so much stuff, it's easy to lose track! 😉

Automatically Transfer HBD to Savings

With the APR on HBD in savings being what it is (15%, set by the witnesses), I've been making it a habit to transfer all of my liquid HBD into savings to maximize those returns. To make this easier, I automate the entire process.

The script can be configured to manage multiple Hive accounts using a single active key, making it easy to sweep HBD into savings across all your accounts with a single command (Active Authority).

It's configurable via a simple YAML file and command-line arguments, allowing you to set a minimum transfer amount, perform dry runs, and more.

It's one of the more simple tools, but it saves me the manual effort of logging into each account to do the same repetitive task. I will probably fold this functionality into my auto-market project in the future, as others might find it useful.

You can find the script on Gist and check out the auto-market project on GitHub.
