##Configuration

[API]
apikey = YourAPIKey
secret = YourSecret

[BOT]
#sleep between active iterations, time in seconds (1-3600)
sleeptimeactive = 60

#sleep between inactive iterations, time in seconds (1-3600)
#set to same as sleeptimeactive to disable
sleeptimeinactive = 300

#minimum daily lend rate in percent (0.00003-0.05)
mindailyrate = 0.04

#max rate. 2% is good choice because it's default at margin trader interface.
#5% is max to be accepted by the exchange (0.00003-0.05)
maxdailyrate = 2

#The number of offers to split the available balance across the [gaptop, gapbottom] range. (1-20)
spreadlend = 3

#The depth of lendbook (in percent of lendable balance) to move through
#before placing the first (gapbottom) and last (gaptop) offer.
#If gapbottom is set to 0, the first offer will be at the lowest possible rate.
#However some low value is recommended (say 10%) to skip dust offers.
gapbottom = 10
gaptop = 200

#Daily lend rate threshold after which we offer lends for x days as opposed to 2.
#If set to 0 all offers will be placed for a 2 day period (0.00003-0.05)
xdaythreshold = 0.2
xdays = 60

#Minimum loan size the minimum size of offers to make, bigger values prevent the bot from loaning small available amounts but reduce loans fragmentation
minloansize = 0.001

#AutoRenew - if set to 1 the bot will set the AutoRenew flag for the loans when you stop it (Ctrl+C) and clear the AutoRenew flag when on started
autorenew = 0

#custom config per coin, useful when closing positions etc.
#syntax: ["COIN:mindailyrate:maxactiveamount",...]
#if maxactive amount is 0 - stop lending this coin. in the future you'll be able to limit amount to be lent.
#coinconfig = ["BTC:0.18:1","CLAM:0.6:1"]

#this option creates a json log file instead of console output which includes the most recent status
#uncomment both jsonfile and jsonlogsize to enable
#jsonfile = www/botlog.json
#limits the amount of log lines to save
#jsonlogsize = 200
#enables a webserver for the www folder, in order to easily use the lendingbot.html with the json log
#startWebServer = true

If spreadlend = 1 and gapbottom = 0, it will behave as simple lending bot lending at lowest possible offer.
