My currency exchanging bots use bash scripts as the back end, but they are not really intended for heavy traffic.

MtGox is back and they have a pretty straightforward API so it's ok to do pretty much anything, really.

Okay, so the server I'm using is mounted with noexec but I can use the BASH command and I cannot use /libexec/ld.elf_so
Is there any way to run a bitcoind wallet with only bash, no binaries?
I know that sounds like unix suicide, but I just had to ask lol...  Grin

It's like building a car with 2x4's and plywood, way easier to get something up and running, but the chicks are still going to jump in with the guy driving the shiny metal one.

Never have I heard such an epic analogy... Congrats, that's officially epic! xD

Bash might be okay for testing some basic functionality, but it's not the best way to create a complex web application.

The longer a piece of code gets the harder it is to fix when something goes wrong. So the first few steps might be easier, but eventually you'll wish you'd used a higher level framework.

Okay, so apparently on this server I don't have access to script execution (why? idk) so I can't use this server but I'll look into getting a new server for it.. lol

And I'll summarize also...  Huh
If you could look into a basic wallet/user system with a basic post webpage, I can work it from there.
I'm really good with html, css, I can wrk javascript and php fairly well... I just don't know crap about bash or making the system part work ^^'

I'm a Windows user since I was a little kid and I just got access to a full unix account, ftp, bash, etc...
I can't write or set up code for crap but once I see it, I can easily manipulate it...
If I could get a wallet site working, I could look into ways to improve it, but I wouldn't know where to start at all with making one... And saddly I'll be flying to ohio for 4th of july weekend, on wednesday (the day after tomorrow) so I can't do much until I at least get there...
If you could help with anything, I'd appreciate it. I also have a friend that could "help" with is but he's to lazy to help start it at all... Thanks in advance for any assistance too, maybe I'll have a donation fund and if I get any donations, send you em along with anything I can muster up...  Cheesy

Sounds like an incredibly easy task (Assuming this is a very simple ewallet site.) Anything you need help with specifically?

Okay, so I learned about SDF's shell accounts from another member and he was working on some sort of eCommerce site with bitcoin, in bash script.
I was wondering if anyone knows how to make a wallet site in bash (and possibly using remote servers for FTP, MySQL, HTTP, Etc..)
If so, I'd be really greatful for some help and will gladly find a way to pey for the assistance..
(Hopefully I'll actually get a whole bitcoin by then.. ^^')

Thanks for any and all replies!  Grin
