— Swoopo Bot
Deadline to sign up by: 1st April 2009
5 people signed up, 95 more were needed
More details
I have written a software package to automatically scrape historical auction data from Swoopo.com, follow ongoing auctions, and cleverly place bids when certain conditions are met.
Right now it has a simple text-based curses interface, but I plan on developing a GUI front-end too.
The software gives you a choice of bidding rules to use, and you can request new rules be implemented that I shall code up for you, within reason, free of charge.
It is written in the Ruby programming language, and each person who receives the software is free to modify the source code in any way they like.
I shall only sell this software to the 100 people who pledge to buy it, no more, no less.
- contribute $25 per month to DVGRR
- give a percentage or more of the Canton Free TV project of $4000
- to support my African American sisters and brothers businesses
- vote for Hank Williams Jr. in the Primary Election
