There is more demand and less supply for skilled labour, no?

Has anyone played this? I tried to create an anarcho-capitalist nation. Clearly the game is biased towards some sort of mixed democratic system.

I also made the region The Lands of Anarcho Capitalism.

I'm probably best described as a moral subjectivist and a libertarian.

Well if someone makes an open source trading bot, I'll certainly be peaking.

It depends how much further profit is worth in comparison to the interest in seeing other people's opinion etc.

If I made a lot of money on a bot, eventually I'd release it once I feel I made enough from it.

I'm rewriting my bot in C from python. It's 150 lines so far and I've only implemented a tiny part of the python script in C. It takes about 10 times more code but I like C.

Can his bot adapt automatically? What if he runs it for a long time but the strategy used is no longer appropriate to changing bitcoin circumstances?

Database? No idea why that is needed.

All I can say is my algorithm is supposed to do lots of computations to create the best results but my tests are making me disappointed so far. It's by no means supposed to be a simple algorithm set to follow one simple strategy.

It's in early stages though.

Downloading the data takes about 2 seconds maximum and the rest takes almost 30 seconds to compute. My algorithm runs on a single thread when I could separate tasks out to 50 cores including the 48 cores the GeForce 320M apparently has.

I could increase the performance by taking advantage of GPU parrellel computing. The performance increase could be massive. I will look into it.

My bot is supposed to figure out everything in roughly 30 seconds with 4 days of price data. I don't have to train it over time. I hoped it would adapt to the flatter prices and stop making poor signals but I have run the algorithm very long, so I will see what happens over a bit more time...

How is it performing now, since the bitcoin price has become rather flat?

I'm sure my bot will pick better trades if prices become more volatile again. It's easy to make false signals when it is flat.

What do you want to do for bitcoin? If you want to understand the client, you'd need to understand C++.

Do you use the bitcoincharts.com API? It says I shouldn't rely on it, so I collect and cache prices myself.

I had a GUI and I removed it. It makes little difference actually but it crashed a few times so I reverted to file and command line UI.

I do cache the data. You use a service which contains more data than the APIs from Mt Gox, Trade Hill or other places? With those APIs you have to download all the data available an then select and append data to the cached data.

You've used python I see. I have used python as well but I will likely try to convert it to C to try and get as much out of it as possible. I use pysco to improve performance.

If I increase performance I can also increase the complexity of the algorithm.

Maybe I didn't give it chance but I made what I believed to be two improved versions which I'm testing now. I have to wait for the simulated results since the algorithm can't be sped up very much.

I can't really use many more than about 8 days of data for performance reasons. I should hopefully increase performance however. I also need to do more tests.

I'm making a bot and it's annoying because I run my Macbook 24/7 which isn't convenient.

My tests so far have been negative. One version made a simulated loss of 25% in only about 2 days.

Do people seriously pay 4 times as much for an SD card on brand?

So the price of gold is completely based on how much there is?

The 16GB card is 5.58btc, at 14.5 USD/BTC that is $80.91. They are about $20 on Amazon. Thats a huge difference.
