davideandClaude Sonnet 5 16802cafb6 Throttle login and registration with exponential backoff (B-33)
POST /auth/login had no rate limiting, no lockout, no delay — a patient
distributed attack could brute-force a password against an enumerable
username list on a custodial wallet, where a guessed password means
withdrawing someone's funds.

Add per-username and per-IP throttling with exponential backoff
(app/auth/rate_limit.py), keyed on app.state like UserLocks rather than
a module global so each app instance gets isolated throttle state.
Unknown-user and wrong-password already shared one response path, so no
enumeration oracle there. Registration is throttled per-IP too, which
also bounds how many accounts one IP can spin up (B-31).

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).

Documentation

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").
