No, they have neither. This is just a script to purchase an amount of bitcoin. It has to be run manually for each purchase. It is easier I think to just login to the exchange every day and make the purchase. Not sure why this is so high on HN.

Pieter Levels wrote pretty much the same thing a few days ago, but most people that know about Pieter know he likes to automate things. I'm pretty sure he set his up as a cron job.

Simple. Just add your bank account details to your exchange account and then your exchange can draw money from there automatically.

Sorry, I live in a country where that is unthinkable.

Buying on coinbase doesn't leverage the Dollar Cost strategy?

can't you set recurring purchases at set intervals on coinbase?

Yes, Coinbase supports daily / weekly / every 2 weeks / monthly recurring buys. They have fees on every buy though.
