(For Witnesses) Instant price-feed script
As part of being a witness, you're expected to run a price feed, to allow the network to convert SBD to USD (via STEEM).
---
**Unfortunately,  most of them are a bit of a pain to install.**

**Well. Not anymore.** I've taken @jesta's fork of @clayop's python price feed, and wrapped it with a shell script that can deal with setting it up, configuring, as well as start/stop/status

It's open source, released under the GNU GPL v3. You can view the code here: https://gist.github.com/Someguy123/100dbc0e40d343886e2aa014317f586f/

It works on both Linux (debian-based, e.g. ubuntu), and OSX (requires homebrew).

Here's how to use it:

```
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Someguy123/100dbc0e40d343886e2aa014317f586f/raw/pricefeed-tool.sh -O price.sh
chmod +x price.sh
./price.sh install
./price.sh start
```

Need to change the username or key?

```
./price.sh config
```

Here's an example, on a complete fresh [DigitalOcean 512mb server](https://m.do.co/c/ee902cbe72a4) to show how easy it is:

```
root@feedtest:~# wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Someguy123/100dbc0e40d343886e2aa014317f586f/raw/pricefeed-tool.sh -O price.sh

Did you see that? That's right. 3 commands and it's up.

TMUX is great too, but it's not the nicest when you want to script it.

Screen has the wonderful `-dmS` which pretty much lets you daemonize anything you want, instantly. Plus screen is available on practically every OS

tmux is very scriptable too.. you can also start a process without attaching
so i've a question- after posting a witness application thread, how do you publish it as the *url* under the witness?
