REQUIREMENTS:
 - PHP 4.x
 - PHP mcrypt extention installed
 - MySQL 3.23 or higher


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1- Unzip files
2- Copy config.original.php to config.php and put in your correct database
   username, password, and name for your web host.
3- Run the .SQL file to populate your database.  The exact steps for this 
   vary depending on your web host.  Most provide some web-based method for
   doing this, such as with phpMyAdmin
4- Upload the files to your web server
5- Hit install.php in a web browser.  This will prompt you for an application
   password and some initial configuration utilities
6- Create some orders via the 'Orders' link at the top.
7- Set up a cron job to run do_bids.php automatically.  Again, instructions
   for this will vary from host to host.  Most should provide some web-based
   interface for running scheduled jobs.   You should set it up to run 
   each hour.
8- Let the automated process run for some time.  After a while, it should
   attempt to bid on some listings.   This will fail until you have told
   Prosper to allow automated bids via the API.  
9- If you are confident that the program is bidding properly on your orders,
   then email APIServices@prosper.com and tell them that you want to allow
   your account to accept bids via API
10- Leave feedback on the application at http://odnal.com/prosper-bid-sniper
    If you have any desire, or experience with PHP, try modifying the code
    to do what you want.
