I would like to start an open source arbitrage bot so people can buy/sell bitcoins

I've got a friend that will help with the programming and we would host the project on git hub..

An example paid bot is butterbot

It's a lot of work, if you do it right.

Maybe I can help you with some sources.

What language you want to use?

I could also join this project, if it is being developed in Java. While I am not extremely familiar with technical trading, I can add features such as support for extra exchanges, alternate ways of storing data, and the like.

[daybyter]

Java? Great! Have some exchange API implementations in java.

Maybe I could contribute some more code. Already have some running bots.

[Reynaldo]

Well, i dont really know, but why java instead of any other options?

[AwesomeTRADER]

The idea is to make everything simple so that even newbies can start playing around witht eh bot. Also, try to include as many exchanges as you want to and make some nice statistics.

Why java: java comes with a great lib full of networking functions, UI classes, math classes etc etc. It also runs as a binary on intel 64, intel 32, linux, windows and even android if you do it right.

AwesomeTRADER: what could you contribute to such a bot?

Well, I have no coding skills but I definitely have mrketing and promoting at my side. I could write a blogg for you guys. Maybe do some photoshop designing in psd, but thats not going to help(i assume) May i know what help you're looking for?
I can suggest soem awesome features. But please let me know how I can help you.

[daybyter]

Well, any design would help _me_ definitely, since I cannot design anything.

Promoting such a project would be nice also, although I'm not sure, if it's necessary?

What type of design would you need? HTML, CSS? psd?

watching this really looking forward to seeing something like this come along. There was a free arbitrage bot i used a long while ago on btc-e but he quit updating it years ago I can only assume it was because of the lack in donations.

Its really nice to see someone like you interested in this maidak.
Boys ive not been posting because it has been some busy holidays but I'm reading everything and getting all ready... keep it up.

[daybyter]

Maidak: Yeah, finding a working business model is the hardest part, I guess.

AwesomeTRADER: I use java Swing for the desktop UI and html for the server part so far.

That looks pretty good.. keep it up boys.

For ideas, we need to gather and decide which language, so post which one and why.

edit: For now, we've discovered this bot: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=714870.40 perhaps we should just contribute to this one

Closing this topic for now.
