Q: What's Node.js and how do I install it? Visit their website and download and install it. Very straight forward. Otherwise, Google more information related to your system needs.
Q: Will this harm my computer? No.
Q: Have you gotten a card yet? YES! 🎉 🚀
Q: Will I get banned from of the stores? Perhaps, but it's the risk we're willing to take! To help minimize this, take a look at #1050.
Q: I got a problem and need help! File an issue. I'll do my best to get to you. I work a full time job and this is only a hobby of mine.
Q: How do I get the latest code? Take look at this wiki page.
Q: Why don't my notifications work? There is probably an issue that has already been resolved.
Q: I'd love to contribute, how do I do that? Make a pull request! All contributions are welcome.
Q: How do I add a store? Take a look at this page on the wiki.
Q: Why do I have to download all this stuff just to get this bot working? Well, I would rather you didn't either. See #11.
Q: Why does Amazon show an error page (with a picture of an animal) instead of adding to cart or going to the detail page? This is intended; see #733. This indicates that the item is out of stock and only available from a third-party seller (often at a markup).
Q: I'm using streetmerchant in the cloud and X isn't working. There is a lot of undefined behavior with using streetmerchant in the cloud. Some sites may block IPs from your cloud provider. It is possible that a VPN will help circumvent these problems.
