Crimson has answered #2 and #3 well.
As for #1, I feel there are still a lot of features it needs to reach a level where I envision it as a complete package.
Additionally, I am a 'hobbyist' programmer who is learning stuff everyday. I would like 'controlled growth' so that I can grow the infrastructure at a steady pace and overcome associated technological challenges with limited impact.
Lastly, I have a day job that keeps me busy for 65-80 hours a week. So I have limited time I can spend on this project to realize my visions.
Overall I think we may reach a 'release worthy' state by the end of 2015. However, I do not want to commit to any concrete dates yet.

Thank you for both of your help in answering my questions. So if I understand correctly, it's $10 to access the beta, and $5 per month to gain access to the additional VIP features? Does the initial $10 donation include access to the VIP features or is it $15 for the first month? I'm just asking because I need access to all features initially to test things out to see if the bot will work for everything we want.
Also, to clarify, the bot only runs on one machine, but as long as the software is running on a dedicated machine it will work for any streamer who goes live on the channel.
Finally, two follow up questions that came to mind with your answers:
- I notice that the majority of tutorials and features specify the bot working in conjunction with OBS. All 3 of our streamers use Xsplit, do most of the features work with either livestreaming software? The main things we need to work in Xsplit is the ability to add follow/donation/sub notifications to the layout without adding a "screen capture" section of our PC on Xsplit.
- Our 3 streamers currently have separate donation links so that we can all individually have different donation notifications on stream. Is there currently a way within deepbot to setup multiple donation notifications depending on the link that is clicked? Also, it seems most donation notification bots require donations to be made through a 3rd party website (streamtip.com, imraising.tv, etc) what website does deepbot use for the donation notifications?
