Is this an open source or a shareware bot.

It was originally going to be "source provided" meaning when you purchase it, you would receive a copy of the source.
During the testing period, testers would get the source for free in addition to the binary.

Lately I've been looking at the best way to do this and I've realized that it will never work the way I had hoped.
There just isn't enough interest in it to make it worthwhile as a standalone product certainly not anything that could cornerstone a business with and support would likely be a nightmare.

I found a company with a very similar business model and similar product.
Their product doesn't handle hashnest yet, when it does it will make this product far less attractive.

I've got another plan that I think will be better in the long run.

Build it into a webpage like https://www.bitaddress.org/ where everything is happening in your browser. It'll be "source available", meaning you can view the source and vet it. You can even save off a local copy if you like, I would just prefer it to not be redistributed.

Perhaps as a way to cover development and hosting costs for the bot, we could put in a miner that runs along side it when the page is open and idle, let it mine some altcoins or something.

Again I don't see creating this as a huge revenue generator anymore which makes me rethink whether or not I even want to bother with it.

But the hashnest markets are really inefficient right now which is a sign there aren't many bots doing a lot of trading. For example, there is no reason that UMISOO should be below 0.00031 GHS at current BTC/USD rates. It might also be due to the fact that there aren't a lot of people trading there either.

Perhaps a bot could help attract more people and make the markets more efficient.
I'll update this next week once I figure out which direction to take this endeavor.
