Found a $20 bot dev on Kwork – is this a steal or am I getting rugged?

Just saw a gig on Kwork claiming they'll build a custom trading bot for only $20. The reviews look surprisingly solid, but my gut is screaming "scam" or "copy-paste code." Has anyone here actually used these cheap devs, or am I about to get rugged?

I'd take that as a warning sign if I were you, paying a dev that low for a complex task like building a cryptocurrency bot. Either they're way overestimating their skills or underestimating the scope, or they're planning to jack up the price later. Either way, I'd keep looking for a more transparent dev.

Honestly, a decent bot dev can cost upwards of $500-$1000, so $20 is a total steal, but you gotta keep in mind that you get what you pay for. If it's too good to be true, it probably is. Be cautious, do your due diligence, and make sure you're not getting scammed.

I've used Kwork for some small projects and generally had good experiences, but 20 bucks for a bot dev sounds kinda sketchy to me. Unless it's a super simple script, I'd be worried about the quality or if it's just a scam. Did you check the dev's portfolio and reviews before ordering?

For $20, you’re definitely buying a headache or a backdoor, not a working bot. If it’s not a straight rug, the code will be spaghetti and break instantly. Save your funds for someone reputable.

Bro, for $20 you're almost certainly getting a copy-pasted script full of bugs or worse, a backdoor. If it looks too good to be true in this space, it usually is. Definitely don't connect your main wallet to whatever he sends you.

Bro, $20 for a dev screams "backdoor" or "scam"—you are definitely gonna get rugged at that price point. Just save your funds for a reputable dev instead.

Man, $20 for a bot dev on Kwork is insane, that's like getting a whole team of devs for what you'd pay one decent dev in the industry outside of platforms like this. Either they're super talented or you're gonna be doing a ton of over-the-horizon maintenance. I'd do some serious due diligence before hiring anyone this cheap.

Bro, if it's $20 you’re definitely buying a backdoored script or straight malware. No legit dev works for peanuts, so don't give them your API keys unless you wanna get drained.
