Hi Everyone

We continue to be very pleased with how the tests are going on the bot. There will be some further refinements in the next few days, but the platform is strong and stable, so we have decided to do the initial public release on Monday, just after this weekend. All Whale Lounge members will have full access to the bot. Look out markets! : -)

We would encourage all who have been involved in testing the bots so far to be on hand in the Lounge on Monday to help the new users get the bot set up and configured. The devs will be on hand as time permits, but realistically, with so many new users firing up the bot for the first time simultaneously, it makes way more sense for the experienced members of the community to be involved in helping out.

As mentioned before, there are a number of advanced features in the pipeline for the next version of the bot. Several of these are already largely built into the codebase already and visible in the GUI, but will not be activated for the coming release. Other features are present but not visible in the GUI, because building them in now already as part of the platform makes the next version easier to roll out.

We are putting together a whitepaper to be released over the weekend detailing both many of the current working features of the bot as well as an overview of the advanced trader features upcoming in V2. This "BotPaper" will be available late Sunday.

Again, thanks to the community, the testers, and all of our supporters. Let the good times roll.

Very good to hear. Looking forward to the V1 release.

I would add that the senior members of the community can play an important role in helping the inexperienced learn to bot. Why not a friendly game where for example those who manage to ping pong CIRC most effectively win a small bounty, or perhaps a tee shirt. Or something of that nature that gives people a good atmosphere to learn in.

I like that idea

It's a great idea. Prob would have to come out of the community though, someone to arrange the competition. Seems like the devs are pretty maxed out already.

Except that Thursday. He always sounds like he has plenty of time.

Maybe Rick could live host a competition with some good music and guests.
