When i click "check" will it wait for the nearest :00 before checking or it will just visit the cove even if it isn't restock time?

it will visit the cove at the time you click check. Its not a scheduled process.

Please don't release this, bro !

According to your Super Systems, you should have more then enough NP. Releasing this should not really affect you too much.

Also, just because you told me not to makes me want to do it just to piss you off xD

How do you know I didn't expect that and I'm just goading you into releasing it with or without donations? xD

If you were, you wouldn't have said this

What program do you code on? Considering trying to learn

It'll be Visual Basic 6.

I could make a simple python version but it would be cmd only

Just wondering, how is this different from visiting the cove manually? I suppose it speeds up the click-buy process, but having to hit 'check' every time isn't much different than actually checking the cove. Does it detect a cove ban?

I was thinking of putting the idea of a cove buyer out there, but designed to refresh at the cove every 5-10min or so until banned, then pause for an hour, restart if the ban's up, etc. Idk what the logistics would be since I'm not a programmer. Would that be feasible?

There exists a cove buyer that lets you use 30 or 60 accounts, and simply refresh every minute or every other minute. Entirely automated. You just need alot of dubloons and some good proxies.

It just automates the process of checking then attempting the purchase, with no delays. Faster then doing it manually because 1) it doesnt load images and 2) it doesnt rely on you to spot the item then click it and hit enter. The way I programmed mine was so that you could check the seconds against the

Not hard to do. I could incorporate the same method by simply having 2 listboxes. One that contains [Username][Password] and one that contains a list of proxies formatted as [IP][Port]. Every time the program switches accounts it would switch proxies. All up, would take about 2 minutes to throw it into the program. I just dont have the accounts to do it, and I really don't think that it's a very safe way of doing it (even with proxies).

As for refreshing on the minute, I can do that too... you'd just need to use the time-lag button to check the seconds of the neopets page, then resync the seconds on your computers clock to match the lag. I probably could have the program sync the time itself, but am not overly comfortable with having my programs modify users system settings.

I definity think this is an appropriate request.
Your program could potentially result in a lot of people getting very rare items.
With that being said, if I currently had more than 115k, I would easily try to contribute.
Good luck with this though.

I don't see a huge reason not to release this. It would be helpful, but it wouldn't give people a huge advantage either. The reason cove items are tough to get is mainly limited refreshes and being there when an item restocks. Automatically buying the item won't increase your chances of getting the item drastically. I'm running a GM script that automatically buys the item if it's present, but I still haven't been very successful at the cove because of the reasons above.

This looks very interesting. However, believe it or not, I am ridiculously poor. lol

Count this as a free bump...

[Hoaxez]

I will donate 1 mil when I reach 10 mil
(hopefully by tomorrow....just need to super discount my stamps and get 600k XD)

[Maeghan]

I'll throw out 2.5 mill.

[Russell]

I guess I'll chip in another 5 mil...

[Neoquest]

I would contribute for sure, but I don't agree with the grounds that you're releasing this on. If everyone has access to an unrestricted cove buyer, the pickings would be very slim.

So now that you have been made Admin does that mean you will release the Cove Buyer as a tool for the community or are we still doing this?
