How does the MoonBot terminal communicate with the exchange?

: General questions

The MoonBot terminal communicates with the exchange via an exchange API, which requires API keys that consist of a pair: API Key and API Secret, which you create yourself in your exchange account.

API Key is a public key, which is used to register your MoonBot terminal.

API Secret is a private key that is used to sign orders.

The first time you start the MoonBot terminal, you need to enter the API Key and API Secret keys in the corresponding fields on the Settings-Login tab.

API keys are stored on your computer locally in the root folder of the MoonBot terminal in encrypted form in the file BotConfig.bcfg, which is automatically created by the terminal.

The API Secret private key is not transmitted to the Internet!

For additional protection of your API keys, you can set a password in the MoonBot terminal, and this password will be asked each time the program is launched.

The password is also used only locally on your computer.
