Does CIRC actually have a bot?
From what I have gathered from the trolls who make their way in here, a trading bot is being worked on/planned to be integrated into the wallet.
From my initial glance at the ANN for CIRC, it seems a bit over the top and over complicated for what its supposed to do/be. There is also the fact that its a 100% premine, thats enough reason for me to stay away.
It was an ICO. the announcement was up for weeks prior to the coin going on sale. Everyone had a fair chance to enter. Im curious though. What in the OP seemed "over the top for you"
For me everythign mentioned seems very realistic unlike 99% of the other altcoins out there.
That is still a premine. From what I have seen, virtually ALL ICOs/Premines are money grabs by the people launching the coin. A small partial premine I can live with, but 100% premined and then sold to willing fools, I mean investors, is not the way to go, IMO.
Did you read the entirety of the launch ANN? They have talk of the culling, etc. To me thats way over the top and trying to feed on peoples greed and desire to be better than the joneses. Not a good recipe for what they are claiming to be looking to achieve.
I disagree. The culling is being looked forward to by everyone in both of the lounges. its a great twist and a welcomed one by our community. Also, building a cool wallet and a working bot takes money. They raised I think around 25K or so in the ICO and thats barely enough to build the wallet, bots, casino ect. When you get devs who build out their bot for cheap or free you end up with QTL.
Im just saying. You dont need to like the coin or even the bot but they are doing things way different then were used to and the charts show that its more then welcomed.
And what I am saying is that the wording, the "plan" and the premine give me a funny feeling, and not one of those good funny feelings either.
Of course, I am open to anyone that can provide me with a decent arbitrage bot, but I am not one of the masses they are aiming to hook with the culling, etc. I do not need the education on how to read charts or trade markets, look for entry/exit points, etc. Up till now, qtl bot is the only decent bot I have found that will let me arb at all. Others like haasbot are too expensive and convoluted, even for me, for what they offer. Other bots are HFT only and the couple of devs I contacted about arb had no idea that you could arb without moving funds around or that the APIs let you move funds around via API calls. Even the devs behind haasbot claimed that they didn't arb the way I wanted because of "security" issues. Markus is the first bot dev I have encountered who actually seems to know enough about markets, security, etc to create a bot that works without any excessive frills or BS. The guys behind haasbot for example clearly lack an understanding of many market dynamics, they claimed that the arb I wanted and that qtl bot provides was not real arbitrage.
As for the pricing. For cheap/free you also get linux and the entire opensource software ecosystem, some or most of which rivals or beats the mainstream expensive counterparts.
I do agree with what others have said, markus really should look at bringing in one or 2 other devs he can work with to help take this to another level. It definitely can be improved upon and he is working towards that. If he brought on some other devs than maybe we could see new exchanges added with a bit more haste, rather than having to wait for him to get around to it.
In short, hit me up when they have an active bot that arbs more exchanges than QTLbot does and I will look at it. It also has to be relatively inexpensive to trial and use, no matter how much money I have to work with, I am not paying for a bot what I could get a house for in the cheapest of markets.
