The value of posts payouts depends on the value of SBD being pegged to $1 USD. For those willing to assist with this and maybe make a little money along the way I put together a very simple pegging bot.
The bot only does one thing: Places bids/asks at preset spread around $1 worth of SBD priced in BTC.
Feed Source: Coinbase
Trading Pair: Bittrex sbd/btc
Config: config.yml
Requires: python 2.7
