##Configuration

[API]
apikey = YourAPIKey
secret = YourSecret

[BOT]
#sleep between iterations, time in seconds
sleeptime = 60

#minimum daily lend rate in percent
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
maxdailyrate = 2

#The number of offers to split the available balance across the [gaptop, gapbottom] range.
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 60 days as opposed to 2.
#If set to 0 all offers will be placed for a 2 day period
sixtydaythreshold = 0.2

#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"]

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