livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2243 Posts	Posted 08/28/2021 09:30 am Coin World has a story of Mint officals efforts to stop bots and complete orders. For example, they have increased their ability to process orders from 96 per second to 217. https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-c...online-sales Edited by livingwater 08/28/2021 09:32 am Report this Post to the Staff

Let the bots begin. Four bots and seven cyber attacks ago, our fathers brought forth upon this.... I came, I saw, I botted. When life gives you lemons, make bots. Fortune favors the bots. I solemnly swear to tell whole bot and nothing but the bot. What we have here is a failure to bottificate. Okay, I'm done Edited by livingwater 08/28/2021 11:31 am Report this Post to the Staff
mellamobradley46 Valued Member United States 430 Posts	Posted 08/28/2021 11:54 am I find it funny in a public statement in November 2019 the mint said the amount of bit activity was not a lot, then in this statement they were dealing with 60 percent bot traffic. That's a huge increase in two years. Maybe they didn't understand what bots are two years ago? Edited by mellamobradley46 08/28/2021 11:55 am Report this Post to the Staff
Corbe Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 08/28/2021 8:33 pm if 60% of traffic was from bot scalpers, they were all ordering the max HHL too then, so one would concluded 60%+ went to flippers ... they really were aiming to corner the entire product availability.

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7292 Posts	Posted 08/28/2021 8:36 pm I saw the "Wait Room" on the story. That could be either really good or bad, since once you are in you have a coin but if you miss the time by a few seconds all spots could be filled. I honestly dread when it comes time to log on for the coin I want but I know I need to be ready and my routine is working so I'll stick with what I know.

I don't think the article was implying the 60 percent was a coordinated effort. Report this Post to the Staff
