Insisting that a software vendor use escrow is laughable.
My insistence is not due to the fact that this is a software vendor. It is due to the fact that at least the last three in a row software vendors that offered similar software for similar prices and had similar new members aaying how good it looked took the money and never gave a product (or even proved one existed besides screenshots). Given that back-drop, I highly disagree that it is laughable. And I know John K (who is well respected in this forum) would do so. Plus MANY software development sites enforce a type of escrow prior to releasing payment. So, I repeat my offer, full price, escrow thru John K and I will report back to all whether it works or there is malware involved. Can't see the downside here to the developer - he gets paid in full and a respected forum member here handles the escrow, more sales will come if I report it is legit. Really only reason to worry is that the legit part is absent - hopefully not. That being said, firefops proposal would also work.

I'm inclined to agree, I don't really see a reason for being resistant to escrow... it's not like we're asking for all orders to be escrowed, just the first one. Sure that's a delay of a week(ish) on the first order. Bid deal, you've already designed the software. The only other reason I could see for this resistance is that if he's actually getting orders already AND has some sort of malicious aspect to his software - that or it's a straight up scam, the software doesn't exist and he's just hoping that he'll get a 1 or 2 btc off his effort through the binary+source sale.

He isn't getting orders per the blockchain, yet.

Hello again everyone, Thanks again for the feedback and comments although so much negative vibes! (although I understand the negativity, seeing as there have apparently been similar trading bots with malicious code attached in the past!) ..How about I offer a 10% refund offer for the first 3 who post a review? Would it really kill you to just give it to a few of the trusted members here? Seriously. It won't cost you anything to do so and once its shown to be legit you'll be rolling in the dough. You are probably concerned that whomever you give it to will leak it to the community for free. I get that. I wouldn't want that to happen to my work either. The thing is you would know who you gave the program too. Hell you could even add a bit of code in it identifying who got what copy when you give it out so you can tell who may have leaked it on you and then you can take appropriate action against them. The very fact that you won't do this, or even accept escrow only tells the community that this is a scam and nothing more. You now have made it so you have to prove its a legit program. No one has to prove its a scam. Everyone believes that already. You have to show them that they are wrong. I am not being negative, or critical I am being logical. I want your program to succeed and I want to use it myself but I won't touch anything like that without someone well known giving it a thumbs up first. I don't mean to be awkward but I'm not going to be pressured into giving out free copies of my program.. If I wasn't so new to the forum myself maybe I would have more trust in the escrow's on offer but as I've explained before I've been scammed by escrow's in the past and therefore don't wish to use another. I can see why it may be seen as a scam due to what has happened in the past but still don't wish to share source to prove its legit. Again I thank everyone for your comments, offers and interest in the bot. I'll repeat my offer, any forum members (first 3) who do choose to buy the bot and write a review I'll offer a 10% refund! I've said my part now, I don't mind if you choose to hold off buying the bot until then and look forward to doing business with you in the future! Not sure what to write here so: DELIVERY?: Yes / 21st VIRUS?: No / Clean G.U.I: 4/5 EASE OF USE: 4/5 OVERALL: 4/5 IMPROVEMENT: Add CampBX, Vicurex, Bitstamp I'll re-review this in a week or so once I let it run for a while. Refund plz! PM Sent

Maybe a bit pessimistic - but does it really show multiple windows in the task bar - plus have the icons differ (not sure why)?

Yeah although it's handy for having open the ones you want/dont and I don't know, maybe just a mistake?

I will consider adding an option to disable the multiple windows if possible and the different icons were intentional although I'll make them match in future if you like? lol

@ iTrader
Am I allowed to share the source code with evaluators in order to determine if this software has any bad code in it?
I see there is a great level of hesitation on spending the 1 bitcoin to get the source. Any chance you can allow me to share the code with a few select folks so they can look over the code carefully? (Yes, I will buy it)
I own several trading bots so it's not like this is the first.

As I've said before I've decided what I will be doing with the bot and that is small time sales, sell a few copies - see what kind of interest it had. Although I am still planning to add a few more exchanges in the next release and I would prefer if the people who have bought the program keep the source to themselves but obviously I can't stop it from being shared..

If the source code was reviewed by trusted forum members, and confirmed in this thread, then it would make people more confident in using it.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gox-trading-bot/iejmifigokhpcgpmoacllcdiceicmejb?hl=enThere is already a highly successful trading bot. It's 100% free. Consider asking for donations. If you product comes with a proven strategy--so you have proof to back it up as in a large sample size of data, then I'm more than certain people will be shipping you twice the amount of BTC than you are getting now. It might seem silly, but there are plenty of free to play or free to use software/games that gross way more than huge software/game titles that are priced quite high. Opening up your software will be the best thing you could ever do. Not to mention LTC on gox is likely coming quite soon, and it wouldn't hurt to buy up as many LTC as you can with some fresh new BTC in your wallet. Just my 2 cents. Cheers!

Update!
v4 Released (I'm running late for work so I'll update the website later and fill all orders when I'm back home!)
Major Updates:
Re-designed the Connections tab and Added 5 new exchanges! - Cryptsy, Vircurex, CampBX, mcxNOW and Bter
Minor updates:
Corrected the program's icon so they all match. A few minor GUI changes to implement the new exchanges and varied currencies.
There may be a few bugs with the new exchanges as I don't use each of the currencies but everything seems to working as it should so far!
Enjoy!
