Challenge #3: Transactions

"Send as many transactions as you can"

Let's create a script that will send transactions periodically, so we don't have to care about sending txs manually. We will use the crontab to schedule the sender script.

Create a new script minasender.sh 

cd
vim minasender.sh
#!/bin/bash
​
currentTime=$(date +%F-%T)
# If Mina process is active
if pgrep -x "coda" > /dev/null
then
    unlocked=`echo $CODA_PRIVKEY_PASS | /usr/local/bin/coda accounts unlock -public-key B62qrYbxHUgyKMzR1tGSmZh8CF1ycU265j8mnRdcnwRH5EkxHHyH4g4 > /dev/null`
    echo "$currentTime [Info] Mina process is active" >> minasender.logs
    echo "   [Info] sending tx.." >> minasender.logs
    addr=`shuf -n 1 accounts.txt`
    amount=`seq 0.010 .035 0.225 | shuf | head -n1`
    fee=`seq 0.010 .035 0.225 | shuf | head -n1`
    tx=`/usr/local/bin/coda client send-payment -amount $amount -receiver $addr -fee $fee -sender B62qrYbxHUgyKMzR1tGSmZh8CF1ycU265j8mnRdcnwRH5EkxHHyH4g4`
    echo "   fee: $fee , amount: $amount" >> minasender.logs
    echo "   receiver: $addr" >> minasender.logs
    echo "   $tx" >> minasender.logs
else
    echo "$currentTime [Error] Mina process is not active" >> minasender.logs
fi

Replace B62qrYbxHUgyKMzR1tGSmZh8CF1ycU265j8mnRdcnwRH5EkxHHyH4g4 with your public key

Be careful with the limit values assigned to fee and amountvariables, you could run out of stake while you sleeping:(.

Give execution permission:

chmod +x minasender.sh

The script will create a log file minasender.logs in the same folder, where you can check and verify the transactions submitted.

Example:

Ensure that your password is correct:

echo $CODA_PRIVKEY_PASS

Create an accounts source file, where you can store the accounts you will send the MINA tokens:

vim accounts.txt

Add a cron task

Edit the crontab:

crontab -e

Add a new line:

*/15 * * * * . $HOME/.profile; $HOME/minasender.sh

the minasender.sh script will be executed each 15 minutes. Try crontab.guru to get new examples.

Check the logs:

cat minasender.logs
