I would Totally LOVE to run a Splinterlands bot, just to say that I do. I think I would be wiling to pay $25-50 for setting it up, including some basic $10 cards.
I don't mind the bots when they play, many of the games that are not on the blockchain are played against bots as well, its like back in the day when we would play against "the computer."
Also, I would like to pay in fiat and not in hives or steem....
I am commenting in case some entrepreneur sees my comments and decides to create a business.
Thanks for your comment. I agree there are many users interested in running their own Bot or they just want to take advantage of the strategies that runs the Bots.
Anyways, I think Bots should be open to everyone who wants to use them and Splinterlands just has to make sure that Bots get registered on the market place and set the rules on how they are running.
We love manually destroying bot opponents!
