Sell retweets on Twitter using the 21 Bitcoin Computer.

You can see an example of this in action on Twitter @21_retweet. To purchase a retweet on your 21BC use:

To use the example your 21BC1 must be connected the 21 Network

21 buy --maxprice 1000 url http://21.justinguy.com/retweet/TWEETID

• 21 Bitcoin Computer
  • Flask (sudo pip3 install flask)
  • Connected to the 21 Network

cd ~
sudo pip3 install tweepy
git clone https://github.com/justinguy/21-retweet.git
cd 21-retweet
cp retweet_settings_default.py retweet_settings.py

In order for the Tweepy library to interact with Twitter you need API access:

• Go to https://apps.twitter.com/app/new
  • Data doesn't really matter because you will be the only consumer of the App.
• Once created click the tab "Key and Access Tokens"
• Click the button at bottom of the page "Create my access token"
• Open the retweet_settings.py on your 21BC
• Copy the following from Twitter -> retweet_settings.py
  • Consumer Key (API Key) -> TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY
  • Consumer Secret (API Secret) -> TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET
  • Access Token -> TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN
  • Access Token Secret -> TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET

python3 retweet-server.py

When you start the server it will provide instructions for purchasing retweets from it. This is an example:

-----
Server starting, to purchase a retweet from any 21BC1 use:
21 buy --maxprice 1000 url http://10.154.174.52:5000/retweet/TWEETID
-----
 * Running on http://10.154.174.52:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)

If you would like to improve on this here are some suggestions:

• Error handling
  • Needs to handle network errors, Twitter API errors (like rate limiting), etc
• Endpoint for server details
  • Would be nice to have an API endpoint like /details that returns some basic information about the retweet server such as what Twitter account is being used and maybe how many followers it has.
