My hope is that there are other Python hacks like myself out there who wouldn't mind throwing their hat in the ring of the internal market making contest. There is a lot of money on the table (~1200 STEEM/hr) for those that can do it well.
This bot provides all the plumbing and is a working bot right out of the box. Hack at it to add your own strategies and try to get some of the loot!

Good Luck.
