Utilities for the deadpool (Integer Factorization as a Service).
First, you will need the factorn-cli executable that comes bundled with the Fact daemon (https://github.com/FACT0RN/FACT0RN/releases/tag/v5.0.69). Place factorn-cli in the same folder as the python files found here.
Second, you must load a wallet to be able to fund the transactions, ./facton-cli loadwallet "wallet_name"
Usage:
To set a bounty on an integer, or add coins to an existing bounty, use the following:
python create_deadpool_entry.py <bounty_amount> < N integer (decimal value) >
If you have a solution for an integer with a bounty, announce that you have a solution as follows:
python3 announce.py <burn_amount> <reward_to_address> <N integer (decimal value)> <N factor (decimal value)>
To claim your reward, you need to wait 100 blocks since your announcement and no more than 672 blocks, and you claim as follows:
python claim.py .py <reward_to_address> <N integer (decimal) > <N factor (decimal value)>
If anyone would like to merge all three scripts and use a proper CLI package from python to integrate it into one python script we will accept the PR.
