Open source poloLending-Advisor? #77

Closed pioug closed 7 years ago

pioug commented 7 years ago

I am wondering if you plan to open source poloLending-Advisor too! It seems to be the single point of failure of poloLender right now. I am also curious about how you implement the lend offer optimisation and how it communicates with the poloLender clients. I would eventually like to self-host the full stack. I can understand if you want to keep the source, it's your work after all 👍

Anyway, I love poloLender. It is working so well! Thank you for hosting the advisor and maintaining the lender engine ❤️

This project started a couple of years ago from a personal need and I didn't have the intention to offer the lending strategy for public use. During the time I've seen a number of very popular lending bots, which unfortunately are not only inefficient, but also lead to race conditions, which in turn lead to lower and lower rates. This is when I decided to offer the strategy to wide use.

I agree with you that the poloLending-Advisor is a single point of failure. Even if it has been working for couple of years with almost no downtime, I'd love to transform it into a high availability system. However, it'll imply additional development and running cost.

That makes sense! I like your approach to optimise the rate 👍 and so far I don't have any complain about the uptime 😀

I am closing the issue, thank a lot for you reply!
