I haven't started using that yet, they just introduced me to it now. I hope it will be able to help lol

 

I have some Amazon EC2 instances running, if you ever need help setting it up, drop me a PM.

[Junjie]

25 hours per day! Looks like it can even create time I should sign up for this thing

 

Yup! Take note though: Every time you shut down the "instance" (like shutting down a computer), and then turn it back on, the "turning on" part costs you 1 hour (shutting down is free hahaha). Otherwise yeah, you're good to go if you run only one instance hahaha

[Hikimaru]

What are your actual buytimes right now @Hikimaru ? Thats the 4 digits followed by "ms" on Abrosia when you do snag an item. That's the "results" data that shows how fast you are actually snagging the items.

I actually didn't try ABing for some time since I'm not advanced anymore, but I used to lose a bunch of items when I was. I think my settings were a bit high though.

Thank you! That's really nice of you, I'll do that

And yeah it can get a little complicated setting it up and getting used to it at first by the way, so this help above might be useful. Just a heads-up chiming in~ xP

Oooooh so that's how it works, probably a good thing to know haha

[Hikimaru]

@Tammy please share if that works with you. I might get this Amazong thing in the future too XD

And if you "close" the instance while ABing, even closed it will go on Abing, so remember to always stop Abrosia.

Ah I seee! Generally the advice is to get your buytimes to ~1500ms, but to try not to go too low below that. Anything below 1400ms is basically inhuman hahaha and so not particularly safe, even if TNT doesn't really check stuff until you get reported these days.

 

I've noticed though, that you need like, go below 2000ms regularly to be competitive basically. Otherwise you won't grab items. Andd if someone hardcore *COUGHRogueCOUGH* is around, 1500ms won't snag you a whole lot in, say, Stamps or Magic either~ xPP

Also very important information xP Thank you!

I'll let you know how it goes after I set it all up

And if someone hardcore *COUGHCorryCOUGH* is around?

Then you just wait till he get's froze again by tomorrow.

At least Corry is out of the game now, with his 500ms buy times and 200 shells haha

Protip: Get a premade credit card, and sign up on amazon with a fake name, street address, phone number, etc. You'll be able to use EC2 for free until they catch on, then they'll try to charge the credit card and they won't be able too ^^. I was an idiot and got charged $250+ for one month lol.

Now we just have to wait Rogue 

[Junjie]

There are other "hardcore" people around anyways, the type who would push past "safe" limits, especially now when it's obvious TNT isn't actually checking hahaha.

That said, while I do safe timings (and don't grab a whole lot actually ), I did manage to grab an R99 earlier today. And also an R96. Both have now been sold. Yup, was using an EC2 instance, not a particularly fast one as EC2 instances go either. So yes, still profitable really, if you want an idea~

Yeah take note that the free trial thing lasts 12 months. It's plenty of time of course, but after that one has to be careful haha... @Hikimaru @Tammy

Oh no D: How do I do that? I can't afford to be charged that much haha

When I was adv I bought some MPs but nothing really expensive, only ~400k max. I hope with this EC2 thing I can get better items.

[Junjie]

@Adam They charged you while it was still on the 12 month free trial???

[Rogue]

Use your credit card and buy an amazon gift card and use the gift card to sign up.

[Tammy]

Use your credit card and buy an amazon gift card and use the gift card to sign up.

 

Ooooh I see, that makes sense

[Adam]

Use your credit card and buy an amazon gift card and use the gift card to sign up.

This^ or go to pretty much any store (Target, Walmart, KMart (if thats even still a thing), etc) and they should have them.

Negative, I was well passed my 12 months free lmao.

[GetJinxed]

What? By closing you mean deleting it and making it offline? How come it still ABs? xD

How can you use a AGC to signup for their trial? ;o They stopped accepting my VCC's   They now ask for a utility bill and shit

The instance is still running on their servers.
