Ok so question

 

If someone is running more than one instance of the analyzer at a time (at the same time), are they counted for multiple restocks?  Or are their concurrent data merged?

 

Sorry if this has already been asked, but just looking at the rankings, I'm finding it hard to believe that Rocket has seen over 200 individual restocks in the past couple days when I've only seen a few dozen unless they've been counted multiple times.  Not to call her out on it or anything, but it just seems odd.

If I understand correctly, they're only counted if both instances see the restock. If one of them sees it and the other doesn't, then only one counts.

I guess it counts them both because they both give different information as to the relative time of the restock?

I have mine running at different second intervals, so while two or three may see the same restock, not all of the see the same items (one might see 5 items, one might see 7 and one might see 12, ect)

 

 

which i'm guessing helps narrow down the seconds the restocks happen at

Yes, because the seconds and milliseconds count.

I guess I'm late to the party, but better late then never lol.

 

I'll be running this overnight, every night, to help the cause.

I'm new in this project and just downloaded the program, but it keeps on crashing right after I logged into the neopets account. Any suggestion?

[corbenik]

yes it did and it has reached to the point logging into neopets account and that humanizing 5 second step. But right after that it stopped. I believe my internet connection is not the problem, though

[corbenik]

Most likely you have problems logging into your account. If it fails to log in, it crashes Try logging in in a browser, and then check if you typed your account details correctly.

Ah I see, I double check and change my password in neopets, now it works like magic thank you for helping me

Did you think that approaching us in that way was going to get you what you wanted? 
 
That isn't how you make friends

I'm glad you got this sorted. Thanks @nitro.

For reference, guys, if you think you might be able to help us with the analysis of the data weve collected then we can happily provide the data to you as long as we think that you're going to help (on a case by case basis).  

 

If you are indeed interested then please shoot me a PM and we can talk about it like adults.   

 

It's worth understanding that this data is being analysed to provide a better system in Abrosia and we plan on keeping the actual restock algorithm that we come up with a secret. Why? Because this gives Abrosia an advantage over other autobuyers, which means that our users (you guys!!) will be able to get better items faster. (NP galore  )

 

If you are uncomfortable with any of this then there is absolutely no obligation to run the analysis app and we are happy to delete any identifying data at your request. If you have any questions, post here or PM me and I'm always happy to lend a hand.

You are all part of our project and you are all helping us to continue to develop the best autobuyer Neopets has ever seen, so THANK YOU!

I feel like I missed something...

We all did.
Well... not all all. But all.

Yes, there was some cleanup done in this thread 

 

Unfortunately we had someone trolling here calling us "completely incompetent" and demanding that we release the data all publicly. I posted the above to try and clarify any concerns users might have and to provide an explanation as to why that request was declined. 

[Waser Lave]

Derp.

How incompetent of you.

[Rocket]

oh sounds like fun, so sorry i missed it /sarcasm

Congratulations @Rocket on breaking 500!  You're the first one to get a new shiny award

 

Some good items restocked today...

Yay! Thank you! @Keil is catching up quickly

[Keil]

I leave it on overnight and my programs stopped at 493. Just seven more >.>

 

Congrats Rocket!

[Applepi]

Ok, I just started running it, how do I know its doing its thing? I'm looking at the log section but can't figure out how to tell if I got a new restock? 

[Keil]

It will tell you if you got a restock. It hasn't broken down on me thus far at all.

 

I think it's possible to miss a restock even if your analyzer is on at that time, so don't worry if your analyzer isn't working.

Thanks! I'll leave it running for a while and see what happens  

 

also are those restock times on the website listed in NST?

Thanks Rocket! Did you just leave your settings on the presets?
