Raiding the EDO Gold Mine

The Python Miner I built to raid the funds in the EDO Gold Mine contract on the Tezos Blockchain.

Requirements

• Docker
• Python 3.9 (see notes for alternatives)
• Tezos Wallet

Getting Started

1. Generate your Tezos address byte string by updating the get_packed_address.ligo file with your Tezos address. Then run the script:

> ./get_packed_address.sh
0x050a000000160000f7011de44aa482aa6a4c9f4bf6e56960c889088a

2. Update the personal data in the mine_edo.py script:

• base58key - You can easily get this in the Account Settings if you are using Thanos Wallet.
• account_bytes - This is the hex string you generated with the get_packed_address.ligo script.
• contract_address - Change this if you are running against a different contract

3. Flip the switch!

python3 mine_edo.py

Notes

• Python 3.9 is necessary only for the random.randbytes(16). If you want to use a lower version of Python, no problem! Just change this line to get the bytes some other way. Ex. bytes(<some number>)
• USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This code, when given your private key, DOES make transactions. Please review all the code carefully before running. I am not liable for any unintentional or erroneous transactions coming from this code.
• There was some last minute refactoring of this code for readability and to remove sensitive info, I hope it works, but there may be syntax issues. Shoot me a note and I can help out.
