Also - Please make sure you hit save after entering your API information.

It's not connecting to Poloniex. That's what I asked you to check in PM before I reissued your credits.

This indicates that it is not connecting:

You will need to delete your wallets again. Then you will need to start the application to rebuild the wallets. Then reenter your API keys. Then run it to ensure it is connecting and see's your balances. Before I send another set of credits I will need you to post your log to ensure it's really connecting.

Is it available or is it out on offers? If it's out on offers the bot won't close those offers. You'll have to close them to make the funds available. Also, it needs to be more than 0.01 in order for Poloniex to accept the offer.

Do you have a value in the "Bank" on the bot? If so, remove that value so the box is empty.

If neither of these help please let the bot cycle and copy the log and paste it in.

yes

Do you have bitcoin in the lending account on Poloniex?

In log it says that I have no balance and does not make any loans how do I solve this?

Hi All,

Just a note to let everyone know that the bot does lock the API after credits are applied. In this instance credits were applied prior to an API key being inserted. I'll make some adjustments to account for that.

In terms this user they are now up and running.

Can I help? its not possible put the api key and secret key,

My only worry with BTC is how well it fares through segwit and a block size increase. If it makes it through without a split (which I expect) then long term is up, up, up in my opinion. There is so much infrastructure dedicated to bitcoin that it's difficult for any of the alts to catch up.

This is your thread, but .... at the time I had a fiat loan available, which was worth about $20k USD. I used it to help my family's business as capital infusion. I didn't have to. They would just pay off the loan, so my name got a good reputation with the bank. At that time, BTC was about $100 or $200, that was in 2013 or early 2014. Just a few months later it went to it's first all time high of $1000+.

Could have paid off the loan and come out with $180k USD "FREE". Sort of.

The thing is, we didn't know it was going to turn out like that. I did not know. I had a feeling. I "knew" it, but ... not exactly like that. Like today, I just know we are going to go above $3k USD either 2 months from now, or by the end of the year. I know it, don't ask me how, I just do. LOL. I think we all know it. People are just finding ways to justify how they know it.

I mean, everyone knows that in about 10 years time, if bitcoin is still alive, and it may very well be, the numbers would be in the 5 digit range, and in about 20 years time each BTC is 6 figures.

As for alts, they sort of ... I got a few which turned out lucky, still holding them because a couple of them I believe can go up in value some more, but if nothing I can cash out now and go buy a small car. Now, don't ask me again, I don't know how, but some of these bubbles are going to burst bad. I also don't know which ones, just, many of them.

Couldn't agree more on alts. I mined alts a few years ago, holding rather than selling, and if I hadn't I wouldn't be lending BTC today. A little forethought and a lot of luck came together at the right time to get me into a reasonable stake of bitcoin without a big fiat outlay. Of course if I'd have been really smart I'd have just spent that cash on bitcoin instead of mining equipment and made out even better. The market's been so good these last few months I even tripled the value of a "for fun" BTC mining contract I bought a couple years ago (with fiat). The thing is STILL paying out dust and paid for itself three times over by now.

Not sure how I'd feel about fiat loans into Crypto. I guess if I could afford the worst case scenario without losing anything I couldn't afford to lose I might do it myself.

I have crystal ball for you: go look for the top 25 coins or upcoming ICOs. Then go look at those 25 and pick 3 to 5 of what you think is the best of them in all terms you can think of (profit mostly). Of course, this crystal ball does not tell you about a world-wide all crypto bubble pump that happened 3 months ago. ...

We all wished (or most or a lot of us) we bought a bunch of assorted alts in January. We all wish (or most or a lot of us) we invested in a bunch of assorted ICOs this year and last year.

Anyone who invested in ETH during their ICO and simply held until today ... is like someone who mined or bought bitcoins 4 or 5 years ago and held until today.


What I plan on doing is getting a bunch of fiat loans ... lending it all on polo. That has some risks though ... hahahaha.

Hi Everyone,

Glad to see the latest build is being met with positive responses. In terms a website version, right now I don't see that in the cards. It comes with various limitations and I think the distributed model is the best one, at least for now, to keep the bot running quickly. In terms a Mac build - several people have asked for this and it's something that I need to defer for now but will certainly look into at a later date. I cut my teeth programming on the Mac (although it was classic OS so it's been a while.) I believe a version could be developed for the Mac but it would require some dedicated resources and before I can dedicate that kind of time I need to make sure the distributed model is viable in the long term.

I totally agree in terms stats and credit estimated time, as well as showing current loans. As soon as I am able I will get these three items dropped into place.

As I mentioned a week or so ago, I'm entering into busy time, both professionally and personally, so I've slowed down a little in terms new features. Those should pick up again in the next few months. I am planning on updating the main thread posting with a list of all proposed changes, enhancements, retail sales requests, etc. to keep them in one place. Hopefully I'll be able to get that done in the next day or two.

In the meantime, I'm busy but I'm still here, and I very much appreciate everyone's comments and suggestions.

Now if the rates will just bump up a little.... And if I hadn't sold that LTC three months ago....

Sure wish I could program a crystal ball

I wish I had 1,000 BTC to lend =) That would be greater than a 1 BTC return every day... Simply trying to illustrate a point. I don't want to run out of credits and have the bot stop but don't want to put in too much and miss out on the ROI from it. First world problem =)

Dude, if you have 1000 BTC to lend, let's try to work out a deal with this dev to sell the bot for retail, and it will work almost exactly how we need it to work. I'm kidding, but at the end of it all, if you had 1000 BTC, his 5% fee in credits is 25 BTC, which he'll have to wait out a year to get it all.

Another suggestion that I was considering.

Is there any way to make the "grace period" between running out of credits and the bot shutting down dynamic? If I have .1 BTC to lend, it could take months to hit the end of the grace period. If I am lending 1,000 BTC it could happen in just a few hours.

Perhaps, next to the available credits, you could add a time estimator showing how long they will last based on recent lending activity. For example:

Available credits: .5
Estimated expiration: 124d 12h 25m

Maybe have it turn red with 1 week remaining?

Again, just an idea from a very enthusiastic user!

Greetings! I just started running this software today and have to say, I am very impressed! Great job barcodeguy! This is exactly what I have been looking for. I have a few simple requests if they aren't too difficult to implement and others are interested.

1. Performance Tab: Any chance of adding a tab where I can see how my lending has performed over time? An APY over time would be great as well as some indicator as to how long my loans are sitting untaken (a percentage was suggested, I like this idea). Another idea would be "Average time before loan is taken"

2. Any way to see current outstanding loans? Maybe with a time to expiry and current fees?

Just a few thoughts. Again, thank you for an outstanding product! Happy 4th!
