DEXBot Update 06/11/19
Permie
DEXBot is again voted out of the funding zone and this is not expected to change while the bts price is still below ~$0.05.
The DEXBot project has $16k+ funds to continue development including the arbitrage feature and continued bug fixing.
The Arbitrage beta is still under development due to problems with the API features of ccxt, as some of the API’s are out of date and the lead developer has had to work on integrating the latest versions into the DEXBot ccxt engine manually.
A whole new branch to the DEXBot code has been required to run arbitrage in isolation from the other DEXBot strategies to avoid bottlenecks due to the fast speed requirements for arbitrage. This separate branch is intended as a temporary solution to release the arbitrage feature as soon as possible, and ideally will be integrated into DEXBot core later.
A further additional developer who also has arbitrage experience has been found for potential assistance with code review.
The Arbitrage feature is still the priority and funds to complete to the high standards necessary have been reserved. With such high speed requirements and many potential cases for tiny bugs to cause losses very thorough testing is required and unfortunately this is taking much longer than expected. When the beta and then the full feature is complete such thorough testing will mean that the code can be maintained long term and the feature will not go out of date. Open-source and well-maintained arbitrage bots are scarce and DEXBot aims to be one of the first to market with a maintained and solid arbitrage product.
Thank you all for your patience.
