Interesting report on Bots for those that don't believe, by kultur on May 2, 2016 15:34:21 GMT 1, It isnt about art, it is about sneakers, but the same holds true for really any online release such as art.

"I can tell you with 100 percent confidence, any non-lottery site is bottable," Highsnobiety software engineer James Murphy said.

The last hype pair of sneakers I was able to cop on the release were the Sock Darts Oreo Fragment. Next releases were impossible to get as hell, aso I always needed to go to the secondary market.

If there was a site you regularly bought from say like back in the day when Pow were selling Banksys etc, you could lease a server which was peered on the same network datacenter as their site and that would get you ahead of many others in the queue. more to it than that but thats the starting point. only useful if it's a specific site releasing stuff regular or not worth the hassle.

The one I use lets you know by notification when a site is updated. You need one that actively purchases when some thing becomes available I suppose.

could you get one for Glastonbury tickets? I can never get them, its rather sad I got them without a bot, so still possible to get tickets without those tools. |

could you get one for Glastonbury tickets? I can never get them, its rather sad We've been able to get them every year without fail for the last 15 years or so - having a few of you trying seems to be the secret to success so try getting a couple of mates roped in to help you next year. There will be another 'secret' resale coming up shortly when the refund deadline passes so you've still got a slim chance, even at this late stage. It was the Monday after refund day last year. Monitor glastonbury.seetickets.com for any changes and you might get lucky. |

I also have the West Camping Field ticket, which seems also pretty hard to get.

I thought that was not stable enough ;-) I also have the West Camping Field ticket, which seems also pretty hard to get. |

As for bots, yeah, it is easy to monitor for the button... but to have a bot doing the all buying process is much more difficult
Basically, bots need to do all the following
a) Refresh page every xx seconds
a2) Automatically log me in if I am logged out
b) Scroll down to xx pixels (optional)
c) Look for specific button (you need to know what you are looking for)
d) If quantity list is there, select 1
e) If sale button is there and clickable, click on it
f) If kazbah has one item, go there and finalise order by clicking on confirmation button
g) Finalise payment (either Paypal)

I know back when Mr B prints were starting to get hard to grab (first year of panic was the Grannies release in 06 if I remember) a fair few on here (and the rival site) were using HTML alarms/monitors and web fill programs. it basically monitors the change in page and alerts you via music/alarm then one click and you had all of your details submitted, including card details. It still meant that you had to be local to the terminal though to push the final submit.

Yep, any one can do it using Firefox + a small Addons called Greasemonkey
