Nem network spam bot

kodtycoon · September 3, 2015, 1:17pm

im going to give a shot at making a bot for spamming the network with transactions but im wondering a few things like does matter if the amount being sent or the fee is fixed for all transactions to if it should be variable for every transaction? also how many transactions per min/hour etc would be best for a robust test? im thinking il be able to set up a gang of nodes with a bot on each spittin out transactions like nuts… but how many tx's are too many? obviously i want to test the network but i dont want to bring it crashing down either… :

edit: na looks like i can do it using the gui and not a clue how to do anything with direct api calls to the nis(i did say i only have basic skills)… oh well…

I would like to give this a shot, can someone please post the API syntax for sending a transaction?

API docummentation will hopefully come during the following week or the week after that.
Doing it over the gui will most likely not allow you to really go nuts. API will facilitate much faster sending.
Amount shouldn't matter but I'd vary with the fee.

So no API is available then? :( I have a script I used on a different coin I was hoping to adapt for NEM.

Any chance I could get a look at it? Seeing how api calls are used I think will make a massive difference in my understanding.. Are they the same/similar to calling a method and sending a value to that method such as an address/amount?

It's probably easiest to use the NCC APIs, which are documented here: https://github.com/NewEconomyMovement/NemCommunityClient/blob/master/docs/api.md. You'll want to look at /wallet/account/transaction/send and /wallet/account/transaction/validate.

Thank you for the info but is there any way you can give some steps on how to use this?
This is my old script I used:

#!/bin/bash

while :
do
./cryptonited -testnet sendtoaddress myoq946jrvuBCcHwzYV1cQV68Bdw1cVbjd "0.01000000ep"
sleep 1
done

What's cryptonited ? Some client for another crypto ?

yes, i was helping to do stress testing for it too. It was a mini-blockchain of bitcoin kind of thing.

Some stressing suggestion:

amount = 10
fee = 0.1 (or which is minimum for 10 NEM)
TIME_X = 10 sec

for ever?

for address in addressList
send amount with fee to address
pause for TIME_X
endfor

amount = amount + 2
fee = fee + 0.1
TIME_X = TIME_X - 2 sec
if TIME_X < 0.1 sec
TIME_X = 10

endfor

I'm not sure I follow? How do you run this?

that's just pseudo code :)
He was just proposing a logic.

An example of how to utilize NIS API - which is a REST API - is https://github.com/NewEconomyMovement/blockexplorer/blob/master/api_connectors/async_httpapi.py which is used by the blockexplorer (blockexplorer doesn't need much so the calls you guys would need aren't implemented).
Now this is written to be used async with tornado but the precedure is the same regardles. It's always simple http requests.

averagejoe · September 3, 2015, 1:17pm

Ah ok Pat thanks. Guess we will have to wait for the API to be finished.

Very simple but it works on linux:

Hey rigel,

So do I run this from my Nem dir?

Jaguar0625 · September 3, 2015, 1:17pm

Alternatively, here is some python code that sends transactions via NCC:

Of course, rigel's shell script is much more compact :D!

[code]

class NccConnect:

self.address = address
self.port = port

def info_ncc(self):

return requests.get(uri, headers=headers, timeout=10)

def send_post(self, path, data):

# amounts are in micronem

r = connect.send_transfer(data)
print(str.format('send returned {0}', r.status_code))
sleep(1)
[/code]

When I run your script this happens:
connected to ncc version 0.4.9-BETA
sending transaction 1
send returned 400
sending transaction 2
send returned 400
sending transaction 3
send returned 400

I have changed the wallet info to match mine.

Directory doesn't matter.

You have to change wallet name, wallet password, sending address and content-length (length of the line with brackets).

Has there been a network change to slowdown spamming? My spams are not going out as fast as they were and I'm using the same settings.
