What Hacker News says

Is it "no" an accepted answer? Our company works in the crypto space and we have a small research area that includes trading. We played with arbitrage strategies and have not seen a consistent return. Most times when you calculate a high return path it is because some exchange is not working really well (e.g. delaying transactions). Not saying that our observation is universal but I don't believe you can make right now a lot of money with arbitrage except in very discrete opportunities. BTW, highly recommend the CCXT library[1] to connect with multiple exchanges. [1] https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt

> I wasn't comfortable/familiar with any of the "hosted" trading platforms out there for cryptocurrencies so I built my own That's sounds like a lot of work. What made you uncomfortable? Have you looked into using self-hosted trading platforms such as ccxt? It's an open-source JavaScript / Python / PHP cryptocurrency trading library with support for more than 100 bitcoin/altcoin exchanges https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt
