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.

How do you automate money transfers?
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.
