i think that there is a huge demand for datamining at party; however, i am not sure you will be satisfying this demand by offering to sell dbs.

first of all, there was previously a db selling outfit run by a well known 2plus2 poster. it did not sound like it was particularly profitable and closed shop a couple of months ago. of course, this was before the new client came to fruition. in the past, people were not willing to pay enough per month to make it worthwhile. perhaps that has changed? perhaps not (you might consider posting in the mid/high forum as this is most likely firmly into your target market).

you should also seriously consider selling the program. instead of a general public release you might instead employ an email/private message/word of mouth type of approach to avoid banning (as i agree any public release will be noticed immediately by party).

i am aware of at least one and possibly two other programmers who are working on solutions to the "party problem" (i would reasonably estimate there to be at least a half dozen more out there). as soon as one of these comes to market (hopefully in a stealthy underground fashion) your db selling days are over.

personally, i would not likely buy data simply because i play lower limits and it is not worth it for me. whereas, i woould definately buy a solid/efficient datamining program without much reservation.

cheers,
