Identifikacija najugodnejših poti pri nakupu kriptovalut

Povše, Andraž (author), Lavbič, Dejan (mentor)

Rast trenda trgovanja kriptovalut na menjalnicah, enostavnost uporabe, povečana medijska pozornost in ideja hitrega zaslužka so v letu 2017 pritegnile veliko število novih uporabnikov. Trgovanje poteka tako, da se uporabnik registrira, na menjalnico nakaže denar in kupi izbrano kriptovaluto. Lahko se zgodi, da le te ni na voljo, zato je potrebno ustvariti račun še drugje, poslati sredstva in tam izvesti novo menjavo. Vseh stroškov, ki nastanejo tekom pridobitve željene kriptovalute se uporabniki velikokrat ne zavedajo. Cilj diplomske naloge je izdelava optimalne poti pri nakupu izbrane kriptovalute. Na podlagi podatkov, prejetih iz dostopnih točk API, algoritem izdela omrežje menjalnih parov in v njem poišče najugodnejšo pot za nakup. Uporabnik ima pregled nad izbrano potjo in lahko po njenih korakih izvrši transakcije in menjave. Algoritem je izdelan v programskem jeziku Python in postavljen kot spletna aplikacija v okoljih Flask in Vue. Za hrambo podatkov je uporabljena nerelacijska podatkovna baza MongoDB.

• Title: Identifying optimal paths for purchasing cryptocurrencies

Abstract

Increase of trend in trading cryptocurrencies, ease of use, surge in media attention and the idea of making quick money were contributing factors for massive growth in users in the year 2017. To start trading, the user must first register on the desired exchange to which he transfers his funds and exchanges them for the chosen cryptocurrency. In the event that the target cryptocurrency is not available on this exchange, he must create another account on a different exchange, send the currency there and execute another trade. Many times users do not realise all the fees that take place during this process. The goal of this Bachelor's thesis is to create an algorithm that provides the end user with optimal path for purchasing a specific cryptocurrency. Based on data, provided by API points, the algorithm generates a network of trading pairs in which it finds the optimal path for purchase. The user can then make actions based on the provided path. The algorithm is made in programming language Python, using MongoDB database and set up as a web application using Flask and Vue frameworks.
