Release Notes

RELEASE NOTE
   This is an initial release of this module.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
   Implementation of the Bittrex CryptoCurrency Exchange Website API

LONG DESCRIPTION
   A set of Powershell CmdLets to allow a user to interact with their Bittrex
   website account from the Powershell command line.

   The API allows query of account and market data, as well as submission of
   limit buy and sell requests, and withdrawal requests from your Bittrex
   wallets.

   Protection of your API KEY and API SECRET is ** CRITICAL **.  Hopefully if
   you are this far, this won't be news to you.  I would recommend testing the
   public/informational CmdLets using an API key/secret that has the READ INFO
   switch set, and none of the others.  Any of the Get- CmdLets should return
   data using an API key with only the READ INFO switch set.  After you are
   comfortable, turn on the LIMIT TRADE switch and test the Add-BuyLimit and
   Add-SellLimit CmdLets using values that will NOT trigger a fill.  That way
   you can use the Get-OpenOrders CmdLet and test the Remove-OpenOrder CmdLet
   as well.  

   In the spirit of PROTECTING your keys, this module will store them in the
   windows user registry as encrypted values using the currently logged in
   user's cryptography key pair.  This at least separates the Powershell Module
   and the keys to the kingdom.  An attacker would need run an executable or
   script as the user to be able to decrypt and read the data.  They will know
   the registry keys since they are part of the Powershell Module.  For each
   call that is made to Bittrex, these registry values are read and decrypted.  

   If you feel as I do, that an extra layer of security would be good, without
   drastically reducing the usefulness of the tool, then one can add a PIN
   which is used to SALT the encryption.  Upon loading the module using the
   Import-Module BittrexAPI command, you will be prompted to provide your PIN
   if you specified to use one.  This PIN is stored in a $global Powershell
   variable in memory and is used during the decryption calls.  Once the active
   Powershell window is closed, this value disappears.  This makes it
   exceptionally more difficult for an attacker to be able to read the registry
   values and decrypt them, because now they need to use the PIN to SALT the
   UnProtect method.  With the values of Crypto Currencies increasing
   drastically recently, the incentive for those with a shaky moral compass
   to steal data related to Crypto Currencies goes way up.  

   Never, ever, store your API key and/or secret in a script file as plain
   text.  

   Happy Trading.

   Many fractions of EMC2 were sacraficed in the making of this module,
   mostly because I was impatient in my testing.
