3-24-14

Checking in to the thread.  I had a very busy weekend and had to work 12 hours shifts all weekend, so I've been a little scarce for the last few days.

Effort right now is being put into the internal API system.  For security reasons, the website its self will not have access to the database.  Instead, it will communicate with a backend server (which is completely isolated from the Internet on a VPC) via a secure internal API that has strict control over what kind of information the web server has access to.  I'ts going to eat up some development time in other areas, but it's important to have the security portions done correctly right from the beginning to ensure the security of user data.

Another area I have been poking around with is the User Interface.  Right now I'm torn between using standard tools like JQuery and JQWidgets (I hate programming in Javascript, so using these would mean hiring out for more work to be done on the interface), and between using a completely custom UI (meaning that the UI is a custom program with all components rendered on a canvas, including text boxes and other standard UI items - more so like a video game).  There are pros and cons to each.  Here is a quick list of the pros and cons of both.

JQuery/JQWidgets
PROCON
  • Industry standard libraries
  • many programmers available to hire
  • Very fast and attractive interface
  • Skinnable via CSS
   
  • Standard HTML UI elements are a security risk
  • Javascript is not my strong point, I would hire out
  • Bugs in JQuery/JQWidgets would be out of my control
   

Custom UI
PROCON
  • Full control over features and appearance
  • I can use a language I'm very fluent in
  • Skinnable via custom graphic files
  • I could use the same base for web via HTML5 and/or Flash, iPhone, Android and desktop UI options
  • Super high security
   
  • Would likely take a little more time
  • Not likely to be as fast as standard UI components, as each one is rendered as a graphic (20 FPS target)
  • Not industry standard
   

So as you can see, weighing these two options is not very easy.  I want to take the project in the right direction so I need to be sure that I make the right choice.  Throughout the week I'll be experimenting with a little of both to help in the decision making (and any feedback from the community considered as well)

Lastly, I know it's a bit early but I've been doing some experiments with porting the framework over to compiled C++, which is not only way faster than interpreted PHP, but will also lower costs in the long run due to being lighter on provisional resources.  This is a very long term thing though, I would finish the framework in PHP first and start serious work on the port only after Rollerbot is up and running (think of it as the "next generation" product).


That's about it for now.  Just wanted to give an update on where things are.  I should be able to put a good dent into the internal API and user registration/login system this week!

Not really unfortunately.  I've already did a bunch of tests with HHVM and the overhead is way too big with all the threads running.

I made some great progress on the API tonight though, and should be finished with the internal API within a day so progress is picking back up Smiley

me to. i see more and more oppertunities everytime i log in on an exchange.
and because of the vast possibilities created by so much coins and exchanges there shouldn`t be any problem with saturation.
as long as pricing isn`t unreasnable. we all can make a nice profit and jon will be drowning in customers and making a reall killing on this.

this is just what i`ve been waiting for for sooooooo long lol

yeah, we definitely need more bots to throw out humans from exchanges, it's already a joke on cryptsy where you can see bot battles on popular coins cancelling 99% of their orders within seconds

I'm the guy Jon spoke about earlier in this thread who has been helping him with the AWS infrastructure for his bot. Unfortunately, despite a couple of messages now, I haven't heard back from Jon. Not sure what is going on - he was very passionate about this project so I'm hoping he's ok!

Unfortunately it appears that way. I haven't seen Jon on Skype for 2-3 months now and he hasn't been logged on here for over a month either. I'm not sure what's happened, but the EC2 instances are still running, which will be costing a pretty penny, along with the collaboration tools we were using.

Hopefully he's ok.
