Yes, I upgraded my ubuntu 16.04 system to 18.04 and it broke Claymore's Dual Miner.  Running even the latest V11.5, it was broken.  One "sudo apt remove libcurl4 & sudo apt install libcurl3" and I was rolling.  And before anyone goes and tells me this is a bad idea, I  know it already and thank-you in advance. :-) 🦊  I'm looking forward to seeing a Claymore Dual Miner that works with libcurl4 so I can move everything on to 18.04. :-) 🦊

You just helped me out man. :-) 🦊 I've got an RX 480 unit in my 16.04 Ubuntu installation and it wa Dog-slow with Claymore's Monero miner.  That little -dmem 0 command made all the difference.  Now I can use my workstation and mine at the same time.  Many thank-you's. :-)

I wish these guys would use UTC like any other global web site would want to use.  Additionally it would be nice if I could do a localization setting and have the whole site reflect the time zone of my choice.  Also, the buy and sell columns on the trade page are on the wrong sides.  (IMHO)  Additionally, ISO standards involve showing dates and time in YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.  They are natural to read and sort nicely.  OK, I'm done ranting. :-)

I just read Stephan's post on 0.8.5.1 and may not be able to resist upgrading right away.  I'm particularly fond of these features.

- The high/log bot can now pre-trade (faster then human trading)
- Bot parameters are loaded and safed during startup and shutdown.
- For the tweakers among us there is a new advanced setting allowing the parameters to be loaded on every update.

I'm not 100% sure about what pre-trade is, but faster is better right?  I've had bids fail to be processed during market spikes but I figured they were just unreachable.  I wonder if this would improve the odds of catching those flash events.

As for "loaded on every update", like every 90000ms as shown on the screen?  If so, that would make my system simpler and more responsive.

Cool stuff

Over the weekend I deployed Simple Trade Bot for BTCe (version 0.8.5.0) up from version 0.8.4.0.  Version 0.8.4 had some problems, especially with crashing when certain fields reached certain values.  As the revision notes state, many of those issues have been fixed as stated.    I can confirm that  0.8.5.0 has yet to crash on me and I’ve been running it since Saturday.  It seems to be behaving as hoped at least for high/low trading which is what I use it for.

Simple Trade Bot for BTCe is a “good soldier” worthy or commendation. 

On a slow day I will upgrade to 0.8.5.1  but since my needs are simple I don’t plan to rush.  I’ve got the program running as part of a more extensive logic system and don’t really want to reconfigure again right away.  I want to enjoy the stability for a while.  Then I’ll upgrade with confidence.  

Looks pretty nice.

I assume that RSIBuy and RSISell are actually RSI30Buy and RSI30Sell (the originals ones)

It looks like it would retain purchase history so profit protection has a better chance of behaving right immediately after reopening the app.

I suppose API credentials are stored elsewhere? (encrypted in a different safe location? - a very good thing) We don't really need access to them since its a one time entry assuming the program remembers it. :-)

I'm not sure what "Drop" is.

This looks very good. :-)

@Stephan224
The combining of profit safety and some mechanism to keep the bot on track was more of an academic matter to me. It wasn't a feature request, especially regarding the simple trading bot, which is what is the most interesting to me right now.  :-)  A good simple bot is a tactical operator, buying and selling according tho the parameters it is given.  (no out of the box thinking - it knows what to do and does it)  It's settings, however, need to be easily tweaked, preferably on the fly, by the user or another program with a  more strategic function.  That is my view pg a simple trading bot.  It is incomplete by itself but takes care of the here and now while the user thinks strategically.  A smooth running simple trading bot is the user's minion. :-) (Time to go retrieve the moon before the ballet performance. :-)  )

I do understand how a profit preservation function can lead to a bot getting stuck outside of where the market is and how you generally have to choose between making the bot allow the occasional loss and staying with the market level or guaranteeing never to make a loss and occasionally finding itself "out of play" with trading aka  "being stuck" in which case the adjustment translates to a loss if you choose to do so.  I, personally, haven't given up that there may be a way to combine the two functions with more complex rules but that would be serious project to automate.  It might just be me being naive. :-)

Bots are generally useful when the market is relatively stable.  Big "adjustments" like what we experienced this weekend are not a good environment for such devices.  If humans can't predict what to do in such situations, there is no way a bot can.

Regardless,  I have tried the high/low and that seems to work good.  The RSI-30 also works as described in the flow charts that Stephan provided.  Note that for now, the profit protection is effective to keep you from selling low but does not seem to exist to prevent you from buying high  This is consistent with the charts and may not be a huge deal since it will keep the bot from getting left behind as the market rises.  The net effect may be to make a profit.  Time will tell.

As for me I was using high/low until the recent drop.  It sold at $127 and bought at $124 as it went down.  (just as it should)  Now I need to wait for the market to recover to at least $125 or more to do any more trading.  That's just the way it goes with high/low bots.  I'd be willing to bet that a fresh box of donuts bought today will still be pleasant when it crosses the $125 mark. :-)

I'd be lying if I said that program was perfect.  It does have a few quirks like not keeping its settings between close/launches but these are minor things that can be worked around.  (I use a screenshot image to work off of and copy and paste the keys)  These issues are manageable and I would expect them to be temporary as versions progress. :-)

I'm looking forward to continued use of this bot and watching it progress. :-)

BTC-E Online :-) 

I see no gaps in today's history at  http://bitcoinity.org/markets/btce/USD

I'd need more caution if it was a USSA company.  :-)   (the ssss isss ssstuck on my keyboard)

If their computer system works, you don't need no shitty customer service. :-)  Besides I have a few friends who can speak Russian if I need their help. :-)  Besides, don't Russians have a reputation for having great programmers?  BTC-E isn't pretty like a MtGox is but is sure seems to be solid. :-)  I'll take solid and spartan over beautiful and flaky any time.

Still, I wish the time on there was UTC or adjustable for my own profile. :-)

I checked this out and it is nice and fast, definitely legit.

Expect MPIAA/RIAA/"DMCA removed" censorship. 

If that isn't a big deal to you, this is a good one. 

(Possible Astraweb backend from what I can tell)

I started using btc-e recently (got tired of the chaos at MtGox) So far I'm pretty happy except for the lower volume at btc-e.  I still keep stumbling over the awkward local time info.  I'd love to see a profile setting to make times show up in my local time or at least in UTC.

Call me a minimalist but do I really need to look at that "1" in the labelled BTC field.  Its always "1". (of course) Why not make the gadget smaller by allowing it to be hidden? Alternatively,  I'd like to be able to configure the gadget to just show 2 fields, one for MtGox (latest) and another for BTC-E (latest) for instance.  Even if nothing changes with this gadget, it is already an excellent one.  (way to go!!)

I also got my rebate of 0.2 btc.  - Thanx Stephan224  :-)  I too will write more when I've spent more time with the trading app and know what I'm talking about .  I've got it running with a small amount of BTC as I experiment.

I've got the software now and am playing with it presently.  Things look encouraging. :-)

Bitcoin: Can always trade it, Can't counterfeit it, Can destroy individual coins but they are virtually infinitely divisible, Based on public/private key cryptography that even quantum computing cannot break.  Sounds like a juggernaut to me.  I would invest.  It will be a lot more buoyant than the depleted uranium balloon we call USD. 

0.09 BTC per Month

I'm going to give this a try.  It looks just like the tool I need. :-)
