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.
 
    If you find this module useful, any tiny amount donated is greatly
    appreciated. If you want to share trading tips instead, those are
    welcome as well.
