gribble is a modified Supybot IRC bot, carrying some useful bitcoin-related commands and factoids. The bot's command sequence is ';;', to issue any command just start a line with two semicolons. You can also issue inline commands with two commas.

It is present on #bitcoin (general discussion), #bitcoin-core-dev (bitcoin information queries), #bitcoin-otc (facilitate over-the-counter trading, with the OTC order book and OTC web of trust), and a number of other channels. You can also PM commands to gribble and it will PM back.

Source code

The core of gribble is a modified supybot. Code lives here.

The code for bitcoin-related plugins lives here.

General Info

To get help on any command, try 'help <command>', to get a list of bitcoin-related aliases, run 'apropos bc', and to get a list of factoids, run command 'facts', and click on the link supplied.

List of commands

Mining/network/hashrate stats

  • hextarget - show the current difficulty target in hex. if optional block number argument is specified, show target for that block.
  • bcstats - show some statistics about the block chain - number of blocks, difficulty, estimated next difficulty target, time to next difficulty
  • blocks - show the current number of blocks in the bitcoin block chain
  • blockdiff - show difficulty for a specified past block.
  • bounty - show current block reward bounty, in BTC.
  • diff - show the current generation difficulty
  • diffchange - show estimated percent change in difficulty
  • estimate - show the estimate of the next difficulty, based on data since last change[1], and for last three days.
  • genprob - show the probability of getting at least one block at given hashrate, in a given time period, at given difficulty. uses current difficulty by default.
  • genrate - given the hash rate, and optional difficulty, calculate expected BTC generation per day and per hour. uses current difficulty by default.
  • gentime - given a hash rate, and optional difficulty level, calculate the expected average time to generate a block. uses current difficulty by default.
  • halfreward - show estimated time of next block reward halving.
  • interval - show the average time between blocks, over the past 1000 blocks. If given optional integer argument, use that many blocks for the estimate.
  • nethash - current 3-day estimate of network hash power, in Ghps.
  • nextretarget - show the block at which the next difficulty change will take place
  • prevdiff - show previous difficulty level
  • prevdiffchange - show previous difficulty percent change.
  • timetonext - show estimated time to reach the next difficulty target
  • totalbc - show total number of bitcoins in existence.
  • tblb -- given an interval in seconds, calculate the expected time between blocks which take at least <interval> seconds to create.
  • tslb - show time elapsed since last generated block.

Big kudos goes out to theymos for providing a web interface to real time statistics about the bitcoin block chain, and to http://blockchain.info for a similar service.

Markets and exchange rates

  • avgprc - show average 24h, 7d, and 30d trading prices of BTC in various currencies.
  • bc,convert - convert bitcoin price, based on Mt.Gox last, to currency you specify. e.g., try 'bc,convert eur' for euros.
  • bc,fx - show various currency exchange rates
  • bc,xag - show price of silver in BTC
  • bc,xau - show price of gold in BTC
  • ticker - show pretty-printed ticker. takes a number of optional arguments to customize output.
  • bids - given a numeric argument, shows how many total btc are being demanded on MtGox at or over the given price. If optional '--under' argument given, looks under the price.
  • asks - given a numeric argument, shows how many total btc are being offered on MtGox at or below given price. If optional '--over' argument given, looks over the price.
  • market buy - supply number of btc to buy (or with --usd option, number of dollars to spend buying), to see the results of such a market order.
  • market sell - supply number of btc to sell (or with --usd option, number of dollars receive from selling), to see the results of such a market order.
  • obip - order book implied price. finds the weighted average price of BTC by averaging over the order book N coins away from the spread in both directions.
  • baratio - shows total USD volume of bids, total BTC volume of asks, and ratio of the two.

Mining pool statistics

Current hash rates are shown in Mhps.

  • bc,slushpool
  • bc,eligius
  • bc,p2pool
  • bc,btcguild
  • bc,deepbit
  • bc,ozcoin
  • bc,bitpenny

Other

  • bc,help - show list of 'bc,' commands - same as 'apropos bc'.
  • bc,wiki - fetch a link to a page in this wiki, based on a search string. For example, to see a link to this page, try 'bc,wiki gribble'.

bitcoin-otc related info

General commands

The above list is specifically for bitcoin-related commands. See this page for list and help of most commonly used non-bitcoin-related gribble commands. You can find more helpful info on the gribble project page, or by exploring the bot with 'list' and 'help' commands.
