Help with my Manifold Autobetting App
Ṁ9,800 / 10300
bounty left

I'm currently working here https://github.com/Frostwork-Media/market-transfer/tree/Working-branch

Notes:

Options include:

  • Make suggestions about widely agreed norms that I'm breaking

  • Suggest things that will help me code better

  • Find and correct small errors

  • Make pull requests (these will be awarded large chunks of the bounty and I may increase the bounty to cover them)

Do not:

  • Be patronising to me. I'm doing this for fun, I know I'm not very good

  • Suggest something complicated unless you're really sure it's a good idea

  • Suggest I read some huge document. A web page is fine, but say "read X docs". I'm not gonna, so let's not do that

What are you building? The readme and this market both don't say.

You might be missing a clean separation between global state and user-scoped state, which is a pretty common backend design issue that tends to show up once persistence gets added. Even if auth isn’t fully in place yet, it’s usually worth structuring data as if everything belongs to a user (e.g. via a user_id field or equivalent). Otherwise you tend to end up with mixed state and a harder refactor later.

I would suggest using a fast coding language like Golang since you'll likely be racing other bots.
By the way, are you still working on it? If not, why?

find unprofitable traders and bet against them

How are you actually going to implement your idea? Is there some simple algorithm for autobetting?
