Honestly, I don't understand why there's so much cynicism regarding Quantopian and their contest. I think it's great that there's a tool people can use to get started with automated system trading.

For all of you who are whining about stuff, do realize that no one is being forced to enter the contest. Did you get that? NOT REQUIRED.

On the other hand, for those of us who want to learn or try our hand, this is a great idea/product.
