Hello,
I'm a newbie still on the fence about purchasing CAT. Here's my top 10 list of questions or concerns. Please forgive any silly or obvious errors. Yes, I did read the FAQ, but not every post in these threads.
1. How do you conduct the transaction to purchase CAT? are you using a third party escrow?
2. I know you mention free upgrades, but is that really forever? I can expect all new features and 2.0 and 3.0 for free as well? Where's the incentive for you in that?
3. What's your development roadmap look like for the next 3-6 months? how often are your updates/bugfixes?
4. It seems there is a "I'm losing money" or "I want to sell my version" post every so often on this thread. Why not offer them a partial refund? couldn't you just exempt them from future upgrades?
5. What's the average amount someone needs to use CAT, including the purchase price? 1 BTC plus 2 or 3 BTC to trade? is that low or high? does it scale to even larger amounts?
6. Any performance measurements on CAT? does it run better on windows or mac or linux?
7. I want to run this on a PC and just leave it alone. But can I? How often do I need to maintain the program? Cancel all trades and restart it daily?
8. What I've read of the Ping/Pong strategy is that its only useful in a sideways market. is that true? Won't it sell short on big upward trends and hold too long on doward trends?
9. I'm interested in writing my own simple strategies, is there any support for that?
10. Current users: What do you like most about CAT? what do you dislike (if anything) about it? Are you more stressed out using it or less?
Honestly this really seems like a great application. Sampey, you clearly put a lot of time and effort in writing this and it shows. But purchasing this does come with a lot of risk. Personally I feel I've done OK with a buy/hold strategy with alt coins. But I do admit its time consuming and I miss out on the dips when I'm not online. If I decide to pull the trigger, I just want to everything I can to increase my odds of success with CAT.
thanks!
1 - No Escrow, i have made 2 auction with video and actually these are my feedback
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=1301522 - Yes upgrade are forever, i hope in donations and new users.
3 - I always work on bugfixed and new features
4 - Many users doesn't wants to accept "market devaluation". Only 2 users from the start of this project wants to sell the copy and not because CAT doesn't works well
5 - There's no fix amount, you can use 0.5 or 5 BTC, GAIN is proportional
6 - It's Java, it's platform indipendent
7 - I have done 72 hours without restart (when Crypty's server works well)
8 - I Don't know what you have read, but PING-PONG is my algo, i have created from scratch, and works on every markets
9 - No, i can't write a personal algorithm, but i can give you supporto to set parameters near to your needed
