bump_fee issued one get_transaction per input (up to 15s each) and then a broadcast, all with the caller's DB session held open - exactly the pattern already fixed elsewhere for the same reason (B-18's _trigger_payout, B-31's refresh_user). Also, _prevout_amount computed a prevout's satoshi value via round(value_coins * 100_000_000) on a float the server reported, in a codebase that is otherwise strictly integer-satoshi. bump_fee now takes a session_factory and a pending_id instead of a live session and row, with three phases: read what's needed (the signing key, current fee rate, raw tx) and close the session before any network call; do the chain reads, signing and broadcast with no session open; reopen a session only to persist the outcome. _prevout_amount now asks for the raw (non-verbose) transaction and reads embit's parsed TransactionOutput.value directly - already an exact integer, no float conversion involved at all. A pending_transaction that's no longer "pending" by the time bump_fee actually runs (it confirmed in the meantime, a normal race) is now a quiet no-op returning None, rather than being folded into RbfBumper's error-logging path. Suite grows from 214 to 217 tests. BUGS.md moves B-40 to Previously fixed, and trims its own now-stale claim that bump_fee still depended on verbose=True (B-41) - it no longer does.
PLM Lottery
A periodic-round lottery system built on PLM, a Bitcoin-like coin (mainnet). Each user gets a dedicated server-derived P2WPKH address; they deposit PLM to that address, place a fixed-cost bet to enter the current round, and when the round closes a winner is drawn who receives 70% of the prize pool (the remaining 30% goes to fees).
This is a custodial system: private keys are generated and held server-side, encrypted at rest. See CLAUDE.md for the full architecture, domain decisions, and known gaps before treating this as production-ready.
Quick start
cp .env.example .env # then fill in the generated secrets, see docs/setup.md
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"
PYTHONPATH=. python scripts/generate_master_key.py
alembic upgrade head
uvicorn app.main:app --reload --port 8123
Open http://127.0.0.1:8123/ for the test UI, http://127.0.0.1:8123/admin
for the admin dashboard, http://127.0.0.1:8123/docs for the interactive API
docs.
Or run the whole stack (app + Caddy reverse proxy with automatic TLS) via Docker:
mkdir -p data/db data/keys data/logs
docker compose run --rm app python scripts/generate_master_key.py
docker compose up -d --build
See docs/setup.md and docs/running-the-server.md for the full walkthrough (both workflows, dev vs. production TLS).

Tech stack
Python (FastAPI, SQLAlchemy async + Alembic, Argon2 + JWT auth), Electrum protocol for PLM network access (no full node), Docker + Caddy for deployment. See CLAUDE.md for the complete list and the reasoning behind each choice.
Testing
python -m pytest # all tests
python -m pytest tests/unit/test_hd.py # one file
76 unit tests cover HD derivation, PSBT building, the Electrum client, bets, deposits, withdrawals, the round/draw engine, RBF fee-bumping, admin config, the pending-inclusive balance calculation, and the SSE push channel. No automated integration tests against a live Electrum connection — mainnet verification so far has been manual (see CLAUDE.md's "Project status").
